My father was a veteran who died 36 years ago. My mother was unaware until 2 years ago that she should have been receiving veteran's benefits. After a heart attack, a social worker informed her of her entitlement, and she has been receiving monthly checks since then. Should she get a lawyer and seek retroactive payment for the 34 years she should have been receiving these payments?

I brought a mistake in serving a complaint to the Clerk's manager, who acknowledged the error and planned to serve an 'alias' complaint to the correct party. The Roofing Company responded with a motion to dismiss, and I filed a counter motion to dismiss their claims, arguing that the complaint was correctly filed against the Company but mistakenly served to individuals. A motion hearing is set for 1/8/2018. How should I prepare for this hearing?

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?
