My niece, a college student, signed a contract with a health club in Dothan, Alabama. She has 8 months left on the contract under which she pays $40 a month to use the facilities at the club. She was recently hurt in a car accident and had to move back to her parents house in North Carolina as she can not take care of herself while recovering from the accident. The health club insists she has to pay the remaining 8 months even though she is not living in the same state. Is there anything she can do to get out of this contract?

Tell your niece to read the contract and look for language on how to terminate the contractual relationship.  Many contracts will contain language concerning how to terminate the agreement such as an early termination fee, or a liquidated damages clause.  Absent contractual language on how to terminate the contract, you should have your niece contact an attorney in Alabama to determine what options she possesses.   This is not intended to be legal advice, and is general in its nature. No attorney-client relationship exists or is formed by this information. Furthermore, this does not represent the views or opinions of LexisNexis or its affiliated companies.... Read More

Does my daughter need an atty? She sold her SUV with the tags still on it in Oct 2010. The new owner has not transferred the registration still, and now she received in the mail a citation for turning right on red (taken from a camera, driver was not stopped). So now the problem is, the SUV is still in her name, the buyer paid cash and took the only bill of sale with him (promising to send her a copy). I know....I know.... She has deleted all phone convo's with him because it's been so long and she thought the vehicle registration was transferred. What recourse does she have legally to not be responsible for this truck....being driven by someone she can't remember their names or where they live? Is there anything?

I had no contract and the employer refuses to pay, but I have emails and proof of work. Can I sue and get the money I earned in small claims court?

The amount at issue is below the $25,000 limit for General Sessions court, so you may take out a Civil Warrant in General Sessions Court for your County.  One thing to consider is your ability to collect.  If the person who owes you the money is out of state or does not really have any assets, then the cost to file the suit (typically $119.50) plus the service of process charge ($35-70) is almost half the amount your are owed.  If you are successful, you can recover these costs, but again, only to the extent he has assets.    This answer is for general informational purposes only and is not intended to constitute legal advice or a recommended course of action in any given situation.
