Legal Answers
Q. Hello, Can a signed contract be changed or modified in any way?
A: Yes, contracts may be invalidated or changed for a variety of reasons. For example, contracts may be subject to fraud, mistake, illegality, duress, undue influence, novation, etc. But rather than pursue a legal remedy, why not write a letter explaining what happened and see if you can resolve the matter yourself? That might be all you need.
Q. What are my options if part of a Final Judgement of Divorce is dropping an FRO and it has not been done yet?
A: Not sure if you're suggesting that she changed her mind or simply forgot to drop the FRO. If it's the latter, try asking her (very, very nicely) if she could bring a copy of the Order to the DV unit, explain the situation, and request that the FRO be dismissed. She may still need to go before a judge to have it dismissed. If she does this and has the FRO dismissed, you should consider buying her flowers. Remember, your goal is to keep the court out of your life as much as possible. Otherwise, if she just decided to ignore the Court Order, you can file a motion to enforce litigant's rights. What you should keep in mind is that TRO's and FRO's can ruin your life with nasty collateral consequences. So address the matter ASAP. Good luck! ... Read More
Q. I purchased a defective piece of furniture (paid $6,572) from a furniture store, Ship Bottom NJ
A: Yes, you do. Sellers do have a right to cure any defect but only if their efforts are reasonable and don't amount to tinkering. New Jersey provides several remedies for unfair commercial transactions. These can be found in Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code, The Consumer Fraud Act, Contract law, etc. Which law applies however depends on the facts of your case. But you'll most likely need an attorney to get the problem resolved.
