I am being sued by a credit card company. My income comes from SSDI, VA benefits, and state retirement. I have a mortgage on my house and owe on my car. All my income is direct deposited, and my wife has my name on her bank account, but I don't contribute to it. What steps should I take, and is my income exempt from garnishment?

My husband and I just started being caretakers for a vacation home in California. Do we need a license or personal liability insurance to cover us? We have a verbal agreement to watch over the home and do minor repairs, but there are 4 owners who are cousins, and one is not trusting us and feels we are taking advantage of her.

Also, does not allow you to see your doctor (only company doctor) or take any prescribed pain medication. Kept on jobsite so there is not any recorded missed work.

My son and daughter-in-law rented an apartment in North Carolina and got two dogs, for which they paid a non-refundable pet deposit and signed a lease addendum. Since then, they have received notices about the dogs barking, not picking up after them, and being on the deck, culminating in a notice stating the apartment is unsanitary and the dogs cannot be kenneled there. They have been given until Monday to remedy the situation. My son has checked with neighbors who have not complained, and they maintain a clean apartment. How does the landlord 'know' the apartment is unsanitary, has she been inside without their knowledge, and do they have any legal recourse to get out of their lease for base housing?
