I was molested by my brother-in-law at 13 and he tried to rape me when I was 29 after a surgery. I told my family but they did nothing. What can I do?

Given your situation, it's important to take legal action to address the abuse and protect yourself....

I am a contractor who did construction work on a house (siding and small construction). The owner has made a payment for the estimate I had given but refuses to pay an additional amount that I incurred during the job. I have already cashed the payment. The owner's letter states that this is payment in full and no further work by my company was wanted. Do I have a case for breach of contract, or have I inadvertently accepted a compromise and release by cashing the check?

I have a question about staying execution of judgment pending appeal. My motion to stay enforcement of judgment at the trial court was denied. After that, I appealed my case, and the appeal is pending. What should I do for the stay of judgment? I don't have money to buy the bonds.

We had a person renting our garage, but he never provided contact info. Now he's stopped paying, and we're stuck with his car in our garage. We want it removed. The police can't legally look up his license, and a private detective found his license expired. We tried contacting the State of Illinois, but they sent us back to the local police. How can we legally get the person to remove his car from our garage?

Due to my car being stolen along with my debit card on November 1, and almost $500 spent with my card, I was unable to pay my rent. It took nearly 3 weeks to recover the money spent on my card. By the time I had everything together, it was almost the end of November. When I received my SSDI benefit in my bank on the 29th, I called the property manager to request what the total was going to be with late fees. My rent is $635. The lease calls for a $75 late fee to be added on the 6th day and $10 for every day after until paid. I roughly estimated $960. They tell me that since December's rent will be due in a few days, I will be required to pay it as well. The property manager says I owe with December's rent a total of $2085, payable in all cash. What should I do?

Can I travel by air with a paper, temporary driver's license from Texas that includes a photo and the signature of the agent who approved it?
