My father-in-law signed a home repair contract with a contractor on 11/15 and paid a $500 deposit. The contract states the start date as 11/20 and completion date as 11/21. The contractor has not started the work, nor contacted my father-in-law to provide a revised schedule, despite repeated promises to do so. The contractor claims they cannot start due to a family emergency. My father-in-law wants to cancel the contract and is willing to pay the 21% 'Breach' fee indicated in the agreement, but wants to ensure they cannot force him to pay the entire contract amount. What are his rights and options?

Do we need to report the donations as income for a joint project where we are raising funds via crowdfunding to cover costs related to hiring musicians, venue rental, insurance, and other expenses for creating DVDs to be used as audition materials for college degree programs and job applications?

I saw a psychotherapist for ten years due to an abusive and traumatic childhood. After terminating therapy, I discovered she published a 'fictional' novel containing scenarios from my personal history. While she didn't use my name, I'm disturbed that she used my trauma for her own gain. Do I have any private legal recourse or any recourse at all?

I have a PD plate on my car, a Chrysler 300, and received an overtime ticket marked with the correct tag number but listed the wrong car as a Cadillac. Can this be legal and should I fight this?
