Legal Answers
- Q. A car has been awarded to my ex wife almost 2 years ago I have requested to have my name removed from the car
- A: Only your wife can do this. You and she must sign the title over to just her, or however its done in Georgia post-divorce. That takes care of ownership. There's nothing anyone can do to take you off the loan, except your wife or you by paying it off. The divorce decree did not affect your contractual obligations to the Lender. The Lender has nothing to do with your divorce judgment, and the dealership even less. This should have been taken care of 2 years ago.
- Q. i am being evicted under the base of a holdover. i need more time to get out of the commercial building i have rented
- A: Not really. You have 30 days. If you need more time and the LL won't give you more time, that's the end of it. There's no legal action to get more time. The fact that you've always paid your rent on time is immaterial. Sorry, but there is no credit for past on-time payments. 30 days is what you have. Make the most of it. the only saving grace you MIGHt have is whether the 30 day notice was served properly and the 30 days is pursuant to the statute, so you might want to see a lawyer, but then you're talking $ and wasting time.
- Q. Hired a company to do work on our home.. Satisfied with work but can't get company to send us a bill so we can settle.
- A: Send a certified letter to the company asking for a bill. Retain the amount of money you believe is owed in a savings account or other account that you are not tempted to use for a minimum of 5 years from the completion of the project. (If you think you might owe $5k, retain $6k, etc., to be on the safe side.) If you receive letters from a law firm/lawyer regarding this matter, respond accordingly.
