Florida Breach Of Contract Legal Questions

These facts say you may be misclassified as and independent contractor.  However, then you are an employee and likely an employee at will.  If you have a contract, then seek legal advice and review of your contract.  If you were misclassified, you may be owed compensation because of the misclassification, and, you may be able to file for reclassification with the IRS with an SS-8 form.  As to wrongful termination, we need more facts.  If you are an employee at will, you can be fired at any time or for any reasons.  If you are a contractor with a written contract, you may have contract rights to enforce.  ...

The answer to "can I sue" is always yes, but the question is whether you can win.  Here, from what you've written it depends on what was agreed when the worker took over - was the original contract modified at that time to not require the contractor to supply paint and other materials?  Assuming that there is no written document embodying the new deal, a judge or jury deciding this question may  have to decide who to believe, you or the contractor, although your case would be helped if the original written contract provided, as many do, that it could not be modified orally (such clauses are not absolute, but would give you a leg up)....

There are a number of questions here.  First, most jurisdictions require more formality in these types of agreements (post-nuptial) than in arms' length agreements.  For example, some states require that they be witnessed and/or acknowledged, like a deed.  I don't know what Florida's requirements are, but the agreement you're relying on may not comply.  Second, lealving aside the formalities, an agreement creating a monetary obligation depending on marital fault would probably violate public policy in some states.  Again, I don't know what Florida law provides.  Finally, and most problematic, you should have sought this money in your divorce action, when the Court was adjudicating the financial issues between you.  Having failed to do so and the divorce action having concluded, you may be precluded from raising the issue now.  None of this is to say that you can't possibly overcome thise hurdles, but I don't think it will be easy....

Sorry doesnt work that way. There are no do overs or take backs. There is likely a provision in the listing agreement to address this where you will owe the real estate agent money. If this was an actual sales agreement with an offer from a buyer, its a more difficult issue and may be even more expensive to try to avoid as you may have the buyer claiming damages. You will need to hire a real estate transactional lawyer ASAP to address this. ... Read More

There is no legal obligation for the parents of the son in law to repay you for a wedding unde the facts presented. The divorce issue is as much your daughters responibility and in part yours, in that you somehow were unaware of such issues in thier relationship,  that this might occur.She should have said something and you should havebeen more attentive before agreeing to such an expense.  While this is a traditional issue, as is dowery in many cultures, it is not a legal obligation and is essentially a "gift" absent an enforceable agreement in advance to the contrary. ...

Your son can sue the dentist for breach of contract.  In doing so, he should be aware of some pitfalls.  First an agreement which can't fully be performed for more than one year normally must be written.  The contract you describe, however, doesn't seem to be of this type, as it was an oral agreement which could be terminated at any time.  Don't describe it as a verbal agreement of six years' duration.  Also, it is likely that the dentist has formed an entity, either an llc or a corporation, through which to conduct his/her business.  Is your son's contract with the dentist, or with the entity?  On whose account were his checks drawn?  I'm not sure how much is at stake, but if it is a large amount, it may be a good idea to consult a Florida attorney....

Assuming no contrary provisionin the note (for example, a clause requiring that any dispute be arbitrated), you could sue the debtor for breach of contract.  If this is a standard promissory note it will have an acceleration clause providing for the entire debt to become due upon default.  If there is no acceleration clause, your claim is only for the installment which is late, and you would have to wait until September 6 to have a claim for the full amount....

It is possible that this would be considered a material breach entitling you to rescind the contract, but if you rescind the contract you will also have to return the  benefits you received, i.e. all the photos and videos.  If you keep the materials you will have to  pay for them, if not the contracted for price than their fair market value.  Alternatively, you can sue for breach to be compensated for the value you were entitled to and did not receive, i.e. the difference in value between having 2 photographers and one videographer and having 1 photographer and 1 videographer....

Other than useless corporate speak  - not sure what you mean by creating a dialog. You can do that any time you like by calling customer service and complaining.
