I have a contract question regarding reimbursement for continuing education expenses. I am leaving my employer before completing two years, and they are asking me to pay back $2350 for continuing education they purchased for me without my request. I used and completed the education. Does this mean I do not have to pay it back unless the amount was over $5000?

My adult son lives with me and my husband. We have been having problems, and today he said he was leaving. I told him I wanted his key because he was harassing me. He got in my face and screamed, and I'm not going to put up with that behavior anymore. We don't have a regular formal agreement, but we have a verbal agreement that he pays rent every month. He pays $1100 because he hasn't finished paying for an assortment of other bills that I've had to pay for him. Can I get him legally evicted with a seven-day notice instead of a 30-day notice?

Additionally, what should I know about my kids' rights from their father who plans to leave the country for two years, and will he still be responsible for supporting our children after they turn 18?
