I married in 2009 and separated in 2011 but have not divorced yet. My estranged husband bought a car in 2014 and became incarcerated in 2015, asking me to take over the car for our kids. His sister and brother-in-law took over the car without authorization, made changes to the account, and eventually offered to give me the car if I paid them $1,500 for their 'troubles, losses, and repairs'. I refused and eventually got the car, which was in worse condition and needed $461 in repairs. My husband never authorized his sister or brother-in-law to take over the car, and he will be mailing me a written statement authorizing me to take over the account and the car's ownership. There is now a past-due balance of $344.56 plus $300.48 in 'other charges', and I don't feel it's fair that I now have to pay all this plus the $461 for repairs. Can I sue for this? What options do I have?

I have a question regarding breaking lease on the house I was renting. We had a rent-to-own agreement and faced significant issues with the property's water supply, leading to prolonged periods of unusable water. Despite our efforts to resolve the issues with the landlord, the situation worsened, and we eventually lost our jobs and had to move out early. The landlord is now demanding payment for the remaining months of rent and threatening to sue. Should I hire a local lawyer in Tazewell, TN, to represent me or pay the landlord?

After moving to Ohio to care for my dying mother, I lost control of her estate due to her executor's actions and my aunt's interference. My mother's home was sold to my aunt for less than its value, and my sister and I were excluded from the will. Do I have any legal rights to challenge this in 2016?

A bank has a lien on our personal property due to a personal guarantee signed by my husband for a business line of credit. The business closed, leaving a debt of $42,000 to the bank. We are in Wisconsin. Is there a statute of limitations on the bank's claim, and can the bank force a foreclosure action on our personal property to collect the lien? Additionally, there is an IRS lien due to payroll tax debt, and we have a payment contract with the IRS. Can the IRS force a sale by foreclosure even though we have a payment contract, and what happens to both liens after the statute of limitations is up?

As a landlord, I signed a lease with a tenant who provided false information about her current landlord and employment status. After discovering the deception, I returned her deposit and pet deposit but kept one month's rent. She has since left, but claims she is entitled to all her money back. What are my rights and options in this situation?

I made a purchase using a lease-to-own company called Acceptance Now, based on incorrect information provided by the salesperson. Now, the company is threatening to take back the merchandise and keep my money. I have made payments that cover the purchase amount, but they claim I am in a 24-month lease and still owe 17 more payments. I need to know my legal options and how to proceed to prevent them from taking my furniture and to recover my money.
