I live in Louisiana and bought a house in 2004. My girlfriend moved in, and we got married in 2007, but I never added her name to the house. She moved out in 2009 and returned in 2010 to try to make it work. Now, in 2012, it's not working. Is she entitled to any part of the house, even if I'm still paying the mortgage and we have separate bank accounts? I pay the house note and all the bills except for the lights.

I have had a hard time with attorneys during my discovery process. One attorney filed subpoenas in 2010 but never served them. My ex did not quash them. Are these subpoenas still viable, and is there a time limit for quashing subpoenas? If not, what is the process for issuing new subpoenas as a pro se individual, and do I need to notify my ex during this process?

I have 4 grandsons in special education and autism, ages 17, 16, 14, and 13. They receive SSI benefits through their mother. The 17-year-old is turning 18 in April and is frustrated because his mother spends his gift money and SSI benefits, making him beg for even a few dollars. She has been managing his funds for over 2 years, claiming it's for bills, but she struggles to feed them properly. Their stepfather is addicted to gambling and rarely supports them. The 17-year-old wants to stop his mother from managing his funds. What can he do, and are there any pro bono attorneys to help guide him? Can he file a small claims case for mishandling his funds at 18?

I received a letter from Getty Images demanding I remove an image from my website and pay $1200 in damages for copyright infringement. The letter is printed on photocopied letterhead with no signature or contact person, and they later offered to settle for $600 via email. How do I verify if this claim is legitimate and how can I contact Getty Images to speak with a real person?
