My new neighbor wants to put up a 6' fence through an 8' high 30-year-old bush that has been the border for the two properties. The bush is on both properties. I am afraid that chopping down their side through the middle of the bush will destroy the roots of our side as well. Can we prevent the work, e.g., an easement exists?

I saw an image on NASA's APOD site on July 28, 2015. I contacted the photographer and asked if I could use the image on my non-commercial website. He initially agreed but later changed his mind, claiming my site's content did not align with his scientific views. I had already published the photograph. Am I in copyright violation if I do not remove his photograph from my website?

In NY, if a vaccination record has been submitted to a public school, and the parents decide to no longer vaccinate, is a religious exemption enough? What protocol should be followed for submitting this letter to the school? Is there specific language to pay attention to?

I co-signed for my sister's car under false pretenses. I am the secondary on the account, and she made personal promises and lied about her situation. She has lost her job, stopped paying for the car, and has not sold it as promised. I have proof of her inaction and her refusal to sign a document to repay me. I want to sue her for the amount I pay off on the loan, the taxes, and lawyer fees. Do I have the ability to do so, and how do I start a lawsuit against her, considering we live in different states?
