I have an Equity Reserve Agreement (2nd mortgage LOC) with National City, now taken over by PNC. I have a Fixed Rate Lock (FRL) clause in my contract, which I have used to reduce my interest rates in the past. However, PNC claims my contract was 'blocked' in 2008 due to a decrease in the property's market value, preventing further FRL adjustments. What should be my course of action?

I live in Madison FL and recently moved to a small town within the county, Lee. I have provided the school board with a utility bill, receipts from our landlord, and a signed letter from our landlord stating our new address, which is within the school zone. Despite fulfilling the requirements, the school is denying my child access to Lee Elementary due to community hearsay. What can I do?

My son is in the military (stationed in Hawaii). His wife (in Virginia) says she has filed divorce papers she sent to him and he signed (no fault). In the meantime, she is receiving a monthly allotment which the army, not a judge, required he send to her. She has now told him she has gotten a car and apartment in his name. What are his rights?

I am homeless, on General Assistance and food stamps, and recently had issues with my unemployment benefits. I don't have much money and need legal assistance. What type of attorney should I look for in the pro-bono sector for homeless veterans in San Jose, and how can I find such assistance?

I am creating a website for our church and need to use pictures of people, including adults and children, from church services, dinners, and social activities. What are the laws regarding obtaining release forms for these pictures, especially in large settings where it's impractical to get individual consent?

I live in Pasco County, Florida, and am currently on drug offender probation, which was supposed to end in February 2011. I violated my probation a few months ago for testing positive for Xanax. My probation officer accused me of tampering with a drug test due to taking Azo for a urinary tract infection, which turns urine orange. The judge offered me 6 months in county jail and 1 year of community control. The lab test came back showing the original test was diluted, and I tested clean in a subsequent test. My probation officer has not informed me if I am violated again or not, and I have a court appearance soon. Should I be prepared to go to jail, or can she not violate me for taking over-the-counter medications like Azo?
