If an LLC business is owned by two persons, could one of the owners decide to bring a third person as part owner of the business?

Answered 11 years and 8 months ago by Mr. Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
That depends upon how the corporation is set up and what the articles of incorporation say about this particular issue. Without knowing those things, we cannot say much. But usually, a certain number of shares of stock are issued, in your case it might be 49% to one and 50% to the other, but you probably didn't even do that. So, you need to get an attorney and have the corporation dissolved if that is what needs to be done.... Read More

I do not think you would have a successful lawsuit over this issue because you likely do not have high damages.  It is likely best that you try to work this out with your HOA.  Best of luck. NOTE: This response is general in nature and should not be considered legal advice.  No attorney-client relationship exists or if formed by this response. ... Read More

Is there a law in a state for pension in a divorce?

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by Mr. Ronald L Bornstein (Unclaimed Profile)   |   6 Answers
If you get divorced in Florida, then under FL law any portion of the pension that was earned during the marriage is a marital asset subject to equitable distribution. You didn't indicate what state you are a resident of, in what state you last lived together as husband and wife, and how long your husband has been a resident of FL, all of which may impact your case. You should consult with a family law attorney in your state to learn about your rights there, and to help determine in what state you can file for divorce, and in which state it would be to your advantage to file for divorce....

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer
If this is inside of Florida is an action under Fla. Stat. 507. If its an interstate claim its a Federal claim under the CARMACK ACT. Either way they are very complicated and very difficult cases. Hopefully you bought the insurance to cover the move.

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by Steven Jed Alpers (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers
You either need to pay off the child support in full or make arrangements with the state to pay the support over time. Do not make the arrangements through your ex. That may not be accepted by the state and will probably only lead to delays.

were can I find an attorney which is experienced in Mold lidigation

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer
Generally, unless you have a long term condition or some specific ailment attributable to mold, such injury cliams are very hard to prove and value. In your case considering yourself "pretty healthy" does't fit the bill for a mold injury claim. "I believe I've been infected" is simply insufficient as you need to establish specific problems attributible to mold toxicity. Breathing issues, in height of pollen season, have to be sorted out as yu might imagine. Since this happened at work, on a positive note, you would likely be able to, and may be required to, file a work comp claim.... Read More

Answered 12 years ago by Mr. Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
When you sue a governmental agency you have to give 6 months notice. The problem here is that it will cost a lot of money to hire an attorney to sue. If you do not mind spending about 20 thousand dollars or much more to sue, I am sure you will be able to find an attorney. Private attorneys are not free, they cost a heck of a lot of money....
