In an HOA governed by Florida Ch 720, if an owner wishes to appeal a decision of an architectural or rental committee to the board, should the owner be given a specific time, such as 14 days, to request a hearing, or should the owner attempt to force a decision at the next board meeting? Additionally, should the owner be informed of their right to legal representation at both committee and board meetings?

I have a multiple count complaint including 'fraudulent concealment'. Would 'fraudulent concealment of a cause of action' be a separate count or is it included in 'fraudulent concealment'? Additionally, as a beneficiary who meets the requirements of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 230, Section 5, who should be named as the 'Plaintiff' in my complaint, and can I proceed pro se in a manner similar to someone beneficially interested in a trust fund bringing an action to enforce a claim in favor of such fund?

I need legal advice on child custody laws in Oregon. My family recently moved from Japan to the United States, and my husband has verbally asked for a divorce. I am considering taking a job in Japan and want to know what actions I can take to protect myself and my children if I take them with me or if I leave them with their father. Additionally, I want to ensure that my custody rights are protected when I return to the country.

I was assaulted by my ex-boyfriend in Mexico in July 2017. He strangled me and beat me up for nearly 30 minutes. I ran away and changed my flight to return home early. He is now contacting me demanding half of his deposit back from our shared house, which I had to take over all payments for after kicking him out. How long do I have to press charges for the assault, and does it look bad that I waited so long? Are the issues regarding the property separate from the abuse, and what can I do about his continued harassment?

My cousin's daughter is concerned about her rights regarding her mother's will and the property left to her. The stepfather, who is still living in the house, has been behaving erratically, including removing a family heirloom without consent and potentially mismanaging finances. The daughter is unsure about the status of the will and the deed, and wants to know how to proceed to ensure her inheritance is protected.

When the creditor sues on a confession of judgment, is that the opportunity to challenge the legality of the confession (cognovit)? Additionally, can Texas and Arizona law be used to raise the usury issue when they try to register a judgment obtained in New York? What is the usury rate in New York, and if a loan constitutes usury, is the creditor barred from collecting any part of that loan? Can the borrower demand a refund of the money paid to the creditor?
