I am 63 years old and have been paying alimony for 19 years following a divorce in 1992. My ex-wife works and owns rental properties in Hilton Head and Washington. Is there any legal basis to seek relief from this alimony payment, especially since it prevents me from retiring?

First, review your divorce decree to check if it includes a termination date for alimony. If it does...

My niece somehow got me to sign papers under false pretenses to get $12,000 for college. She used me as a cosigner, and now she is not paying her bill, and I am being called to pay her bill. What can I do about this? Should I take her to court?

Need help finding a lawyer to sue a lawyer/law firm in Cincinnati for breach of contract, negligence, and loss of $100k. Additionally, I have an unpaid invoice from a tutoring services provider for $16k, and the contract includes clauses about law and arbitration in Columbus. How should I proceed with filing a suit in Cincinnati pro se, and can I pay a lawyer to correct my draft/prepare precedents and an argument?

I filed a lawsuit against a defendant for breach of business contract and fraud. We have gone through special bailiff and warning order attorney, and the hearing is set for a default judgment. The complaint has two charges: 1) breach of contract; 2) fraud. In the motion, my attorney only included the breach of contract and asked for a refund of the purchase. I asked him to include punitive and other losses, but he said there will be another hearing for that part as it requires evidence and possibly a witness. Does the breach of contract require less proof from a witness? How can a judgment be made in a default judgment without verifying the defendant's conduct? Will the court ask for further evidence in another hearing? Is it common to get a judgment from one hearing?

My son is a junior in high school. He was eating in class and his teacher got annoyed and asked him to not eat in the class. She thought he was being disrespectful by not stopping quickly enough. She decided to send him to the dean for detention. When he got to detention, he found out the teacher told the dean that my son was acting as though he was high on drugs. My son does not do drugs and is an officer of his mentoring group with the Sigma Beta Club. Could the teacher be held liable for slander for stating that my son was acting as though he was high and that being at least partially the reason he was sent for detention? The fact that he did not stop eating quickly enough does not seem to be a reason calling for a detention. My son said it was a common practice for kids to eat in the class.
