Our dog was attacked by a Pitbull 3 weeks ago, resulting in serious injuries for both the dog and myself. The total cost for veterinary and emergency room bills is over $4,444.00. We have a verbal agreement with the owner to pay these bills, but we need advice on how to proceed if the owner refuses to pay. What steps should we take to collect from the plaintiff?

I was sued by the city of New York 3 years ago, and I no longer live in the US. They are now threatening a default judgment and demanding my current address. Can they enforce this judgment overseas, and can they issue an arrest warrant if I don't comply?

I’m having civil issues with my nephew (who I raised) and his wife. My nephew and I were close, but since the day before his wedding, he has not wanted anything to do with me. I have to go through his wife to discuss anything about his children. The children's mother has allowed me to continue seeing the kids, but there have been occasions where dates were messed up. Everything seems like a power trip with his wife. Some of the control she has is due to my nephew having a baby with her, and I currently can't have a relationship with this baby. What can I do to ensure I don’t have to ask his wife and hope she translates it correctly to my nephew or even tells him at all? I feel I should be talking to him about his kids and the children’s mother when she has them. Any advice?

I had a sunroom added to my home. The financing company paid half the amount upfront, with the remaining to be paid upon job completion. The job took longer than expected, and the financing company closed the account because the contractor did not request an extension. Now, the contractor wants me to reapply for a loan. What are my obligations and options?

I purchased a boat from a seller in Kentucky on eBay, but the boat was misrepresented as being in excellent condition. I paid full price via direct wire and additional shipping costs. The boat arrived in Nevada, where I live, and was found to have been sunk with the engine full of water. The seller also failed to deliver the title. Can I file a report of fraud in Nevada, and what legal actions can I take?
