In Texas, our landlord did not provide the required 60 days notice before the end of our lease to either renew or terminate the contract, as stated in our original lease. Instead, she gave us about a week's notice on the renewal letter, dated 30 days prior to the end of our lease. We signed a renewal for 18 months but want to get out of the lease as soon as possible. Did we waive our right to challenge the lack of notice by signing the renewal, and does the pressure we were under to sign it change anything?

Do I have the right to not allow my son to sleep over at his paternal grandmother's house if she doesn't follow my parental wishes, involves him in adult situations, and has him around people I don't approve of, despite her petitioning the courts for overnight and extended visits? I live in Massachusetts and am his legal and permanent guardian until he is 18, with both parents agreeing on this decision.

I loaned a friend $2,300.00 to fix his car in August 2014. He has made only one payment of $300.00 on it. Is it too late to file for my money? I live in Texas and need to know how to file.

My spouse rear-ended me on the freeway in California, causing damage to my car. We are legally married but separated in terms of living arrangements, bank accounts, insurance policies, and car ownership. His insurance company, Progressive, is stating they may not cover the damage because we are married. What legal steps can I take to ensure my car's damage is covered, and can I seek reimbursement for rental costs and emotional pain and suffering?

I am a psychologist in Pennsylvania with a non-compete clause in my independent contractor agreement that restricts me from working within a 5-mile radius of my employer's practice. I want to know if there is a standard form to submit to the Court to file a declarative judgment request to nullify or amend this clause, considering the owner is threatening to sue if I move to a location within the restricted area.
