I want to divorce my wife due to serious problems, including physical abuse. She threatens to take our child to her country. How can I protect myself and ensure my child stays in the country?

I am a tenant at River Trails apartments and have experienced multiple issues such as mold, rats, sewage, flooding, disabled air conditioning, and a falling ceiling since T.E.H Realty took over. I've been unable to contact the leasing office for over a month, and I don't want to break my lease but feel I need to leave due to the unsafe conditions. I'm also excluded from a class action lawsuit because I don't meet the income criteria. What legal options do I have to break my lease without penalty?

I am dealing with a civil matter where my spouse, who was awarded exclusive use and control over my company, is not abiding by a signed court-ordered stipulation that grants me access to company platforms. This is causing significant financial loss and interference with business transactions. What kind of attorney can assist me, and what legal actions can be taken against both my spouse and the vendors who are not complying with the court order?

I trusted my contractor, who I believed was a friend, to handle the remodeling of my engine and purchase materials. I gave him over $7000 for these purposes, but I later discovered he never ordered the materials and used the money for himself. He admitted to scamming me due to his financial needs. I never asked for receipts because I trusted him, and he manipulated my feelings by claiming he wasn't charging for his labor to help me. I am a single mother with a severely disabled child and another younger child. I am located in Massachusetts and want to know what criminal charges can be filed against him, and if I can sue for emotional distress and mental anguish caused by his deception. I also want to understand the legal steps to take for a civil settlement under the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act.
