My son filed for personal bankruptcy due to the failure of his construction business. A client was wrongfully named as a creditor, and despite efforts to correct this, the client is still involved in the case, claiming fraud. My son has provided evidence to refute these claims, but the judge appears biased. How can we disqualify the judge, and is there a legal doctrine allowing recovery of legal fees if my son wins the case?

I had a hearing on the Defendant's Motion to dismiss my 3rd Amended Complaint as the Plaintiff and lost. I argued that there was a new ongoing tort and new damage due to negligence during the cleanup, which should move me back into the statute of limitations. However, the judge asked if I argued ongoing and new damage in the original complaint, and I mistakenly said I did, which would bar me from arguing the same allegation in the 3rd Amended Complaint. I am preparing a Motion for a rehearing to clarify this before appealing. Am I going about this the right way, and if what I say is true and documented, will the judge give me a rehearing? Am I correct in understanding that the 3rd Amended Complaint must contain new allegations not considered in the original complaint?

In the state of Florida, trailers under 2000 lbs do not get titled. I sold a trailer and financed it for a customer, but he has stopped paying. I have the original Certificate of Origin, a completed and signed finance contract, and a signed repossession form. Is it perfectly legal for me to have this trailer picked up by a repo company even though there is no title?
