I belong to a group therapy program for behavioral health for adults. I live alone, am 62 years old, and disabled. I've received many remarks suggesting I should have a friend or move to a nursing home for help. Today, a therapist asked if I believe I have the right to take care of myself. I said yes, but I'm concerned about these remarks and my right to live independently. Do I have the right to take care of myself, and should I continue with this program?

I need to depose a psychologist who issued a memo with child abuse accusations to my ex-husband, but did not sign it or report the abuse to authorities. What are the potential legal repercussions for the psychologist's failure to report child abuse and for providing an unsigned memo to only one party in a case?

I have applied for 'Veteran Status' with the VA and was denied due to a clause in my Operating Agreement. The clause requires unanimous consent for a member to withdraw from the company, which does not satisfy the VA's requirement for freely transferable ownership. What would be the cost to correct the verbiage in my Operating Agreement to meet the VA's requirements?

I own several local directories that start with 'THE', such as www.thelewisvilledirectory.com. Is it illegal if there is another directory online with a similar name, like www.lewisvilledirectory.com, and do I need to trademark my directories before they go live? If the other directory is not trademarked, would it still be an issue?

My friend is suing me for writing a bad check as a guarantee for another friend's loan. The loan amount is $31,000, and the borrower has paid around $25,000 since 2008, mostly in interest. The borrower recently died, and the lender is now seeking the full $31,000 from me. I have been making monthly payments of $200 to $300, but the lender claims these payments are only for interest. What should I do?
