Question

Hi, I am having an issue about money that is owed my husband. My brother-in-law (my husband's brother) sold the family homestead in June of 2009. At that time my husband was promised $3,500.00 from the proceeds. He gave my husband $1,500.00 with the promise that he still owed him $2.000.00. We still haven't received the money. There wasn't a legal contract written because it was his brother and he trusted him. Do we have any legal? Thank you, Sandy



Answer

Why did your brother-in-law promise to give your husband the money? Was it an inheritance? Did they both own the property? Did they agree to split the profits after the sale? Assuming that your husband has some entitlement to the money, then you can sue in Small Claims Court. Of course, if it was simply a promise to pay which was unsupported by any entitlement or claim (what we lawyers call consideration) then you may not have an enforceable claim to the money. In other words, the $1,500 was a gift, unless your husband had a claim to the proceeds of the sale.





Question

Child Support and Medical


My husband has paid child support for my stepdaughter in the amount the court ordered 10 years ago. He also has been paying an additonal $200 that was requested by her mother for at least 2 years. We have always paid half of medical bills that were given to us and half of any childcare costs. And this has never been a problem with her mother. Now since my stepdaughter has turned 18 her mother is saying that my husband is responsible to pay 100% of the medical bills. Is it possible for her to go to court to recover all the cost over the last 10 years?



Answer

Re: Child Support and Medical


The general rule is that he is responsible only for the court ordered child support. Once a child turns 18 the duty to support ceases, unless the child is a full time high school student.

Question

personal injury


I was in an car accident in October, The other driver has accepted liability. My car's bumper and right side were minimally damaged. The impact was very hard. I am under the care of a doctor and have been for the last 3 years because of exposure to advanced nanomicrobic materials, mold and other enviromental toxins. I was in remission for 2 years.According to a toxicologist The impact from the accident caused these toxins to dislodge from both my brain and spine and as a result my health abruptly deteriotated. I begin to experience MS like symptoms all over again. I felt the same way I did right after my exposure to the raw sewage.I also lost my hair, I began to have infections in both my eyes, in the past the eye infections resulted in the loss of my eyesight. I had no choice but to take 5 months off of my studies I was also unable to continue my chiropractic treatment because I was too tired. Could you please give me an idea on the amount I should settle for? What is fair?

Re: personal injury


What I find puzzling about your question is that you give a very complex fact pattern which if your damages could be proven, could result in a decent outcome. Then at the end, you simply ask what you should settle your case for. Given the complexities, do you really feel that you would be able to negotiate a fair settlement on your own. Some people get lucky, but your case sounds very serious and I feel it would be best to seek counsel. You can contact me for a free consultation at 1.877.505.INJURY. If I am not close to you, then I urge you to contact a local lawyer because this is not something that you should attempt on your own.



Answer

Re: personal injury


You want case value? Answer: You don't set the value. It is worth whatever the defendant is willing to pay in settlement, or whatever a jury awards at trial. Such 'fragile plaintiff' claims are generally difficult, and yours is quite 'exotic' to say the least, but they are do-able if handled right. To do so, you'll need excellent support from qualified medical experts to prove the industry 'generally accepted medical basis' of your claims and damages. I doubt settlement is possible at a value you would think is appropriate, based upon your theory of damages. You'll likely have to fight and win at trial on this case. If you are serious about handling this right, and can get the expert medical testimony to support your theories, feel free to contact me for the legal help you'll need.

Question

In NJ, would the township prosecute a petty disorderly persons offense under 2C:33-4A or do I have to get an attorney, or do it myself, because the defendant is sending me letters saying I have to get my own attorney to prosecute this?



Answer

I am guessing that you wrote the charge. If so then it depends on the court. Some judges allow a citizen to prosecute their own claim, some require the town prosecutor to prosecute all complaints. You are going to have to check with the court administrator in the town where you wrote the charge what the judge's policy is.
