I have a friend who broke my phone, agreed to pay for the replacement, and is now refusing to pay in a timely manner. This situation has caused me significant emotional distress, including suicidal thoughts and the need to return to therapy. I am located in Tennessee. Can I include emotional distress in my small claims court case, and how do I calculate the amount? Additionally, if the person has a bench warrant for their arrest, could they be arrested at court for the warrant? If the person who broke my phone is financially supported by another individual, can I name that individual as a defendant in the case?

Can an owner of a drug treatment center legally own a percentage of a drug testing laboratory in California if the ownership dividends from the lab paid to the owner of the treatment center are not dependent upon the number of patients referred, considering the Stark Law, EKRA, and the Anti-Kickback Statute?

If I go to court with an 'in contempt' motion, do I need to include updated FL150 (income & expense) and RFOs for requesting spousal support and health insurance reinstatement? How should I prepare for potential counter-arguments from the opposing attorney?

I have a question regarding an international shipping company. I paid for a service on July 30, and the company advertised a cutoff date for receiving packages from clients and an estimated arrival date for SEA shipping. What should I know about this situation?

I voluntarily resigned from my position at a state regional hospital for registered sex offenders. My resignation was accepted in good standing, and I was considered eligible for re-hire. After re-applying for a position six months later, I was not re-hired. Recently, I discovered that a former co-worker started a false rumor that I was writing love letters to a patient, which were only 'found' after I resigned. I believe this rumor has affected my good standing with my former employer and the community, potentially leading to my non-rehire. What are my options, and do I need to discuss this with a manager, HR, or a lawyer?
