I have 3 children, ages 10, 22 months, and 9 months. My husband is not the legal father of my oldest child, but he is the father of the other two. My husband has left my oldest child alone at home several times, even for up to an hour when the child was five.

My employer, AT&T, promised me a transfer to Sacramento by the end of August last year, leading me to evict my tenants. I have been losing rental income since. I have documented the transfer conversations in writing and am a union employee covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Should I wait until after the NLRB charges, union grievance, and government processes finish to rent again, or should I start looking for tenants now? I don't want to evict tenants again and prefer to keep the property empty if relocation is possible within a few more months. However, I have a duty to search for tenants and minimize rental losses. Should I start repairing the property and looking for tenants now, or wait until the dispute processes finish? If I wait, which process should I wait for? Will I be able to collect all lost rent from this month until the dispute processes finish, or do I need to start looking for tenants immediately?

We borrowed my cousin's fiancé's van, which was involved in an accident where we were hit from behind. The other driver's insurance sent a settlement check made out to the van's owner and finance company, but the owner is behind on payments and cannot cash it. The owner now claims I am responsible for fixing the van. Is this true, and can she falsely report a theft after the fact?

I work for a company that opens at 6:00 a.m. I collect shopping carts, but I am told to come in at 10:00 a.m. and have to collect all the carts by hand that were sometimes left the night before in the parking lot. This takes about 1 1/2 hours, and the store begins to get busy at 9:30 a.m. Why am I working these 4 hours for free?
