I was traveling in Hong Kong and someone overheard me sending a voice message saying 'I realized kids in Hong Kong are out of control, they keep bumping into me as I walk.' Now, they claim this is slander and are threatening to sue me for causing their child psychological problems. I live in New York. What are the legal implications of this situation, and should I take any action?

Is there a 'blanket' document or authorization in Maryland and DC that I can use that would allow me to actively participate in day-to-day medical and other health/treatment decisions for a spouse without always having to 'get permission'?

I had a vehicle in the shop for repairs and was told it would take 4-6 weeks, but it ended up taking 5 months. During this time, the vehicle became undrivable due to a new brake issue. This is a company work truck, and every day it's in the shop, I lose $200-$250. Is there any way I can get compensation from the shop for the extended time and additional repairs needed due to their negligence?

I owe $3,000 to my lawyer for a custody case from 2016. I was making payments but stopped due to financial difficulties as a single mom. The case is closed, but I still owe the money. Is it sufficient to send as much as I possibly can each week until the bill is paid off?
