In a Kentucky civil breach of contract case, my ex-wife and I had a contract where I would renovate her home to increase its sale value, and we would split the proceeds after paying off an HVAC loan. The house sold for $56,000 more than expected due to my renovations, but she has not paid me my share. I filed a motion, and her representation filed a motion for leave to file an amended answer and counterclaim. The judge granted her leave, but I served discovery questions that exposed her lies in the amended answers and countermotion. She filed the permitted proposal shown to the judge as Ex. A after my discovery, changing important facts. I was ordered to cooperate and do their deposition tomorrow, but I only had a week and a half to prepare as a pro se litigant. What should I do regarding filing a motion to strike her amended answer and counterclaim, asking for sanctions, and reverting back to my original motion for summary judgment? Also, what are examples of harassing/argumentative behavior/questions to object to during the deposition?

I reside in Queens, New York. I am planning to get married with my girlfriend, but she is pregnant with somebody else’s baby. What happens if I marry her and the baby is born, and then after a couple of years we get divorced? Am I going to be liable for child support even if I’m not the biological father?

I am currently in an inhabitable and unsanitary unit. The landlord is allowing me to move to a new unit but wants me to pay the fees again. What are my rights and am I required to pay additional administration fees, application fees, or a security deposit if I move to a different unit?

I received an unexpected email from a debt collector claiming I owe $2000 for a cell phone bill from around 2016-2017. I have not received any prior notifications or correspondence regarding this debt and it does not appear on my credit report. I am concerned about the potential impact on my credit score and whether this old debt can still be added to my credit report. How should I handle this situation and what are the legal implications given the age of the debt?

I received a Zoom deposition summons from Westlake Financial Services regarding a truck loan in Florida from 6-7 years ago. The truck broke down, and I couldn't afford to pay for the transmission replacement, so the mechanic took and sold the truck. Now, I'm concerned about a potential judgment against me and my inability to pay. What should I do?

How should we ethically and accurately compare doctors working in repressive systems without proper legal governance to Josef Mengele, considering factors such as individual responsibility, varying degrees of harm and intent, scientific justifications, and the complexities of repressive regimes?
