Questions Answered by Legal Eagle

I was groomed online at 15 by a 23-year-old on Discord. We had a romantic/sexual relationship. He lives in a different state. He was recently arrested for online solicitation of a minor after Discord tipped police; his devices were seized. Can they see our messages, and will Kansas or Mississippi police contact me?

In an interpleader case filed by Lincoln Financial Group involving a Living Trust, how can we use a notarized affidavit with evidence of fraud to oppose LFG’s motion for discharge, and is the affidavit admissible if no attorney is on record for the trustee?

I was in a class action lawsuit in a HOA and I understand the board members cannot be held liable. We do not have a property management company. Our board consist of seven volunteers. Long story short, instead of giving money back to the class members, it was decided to put the money aside and use for our private roads and ditches that are in desperate need of repair. I live in a small community of 450 homes and 1 acre lots. We have a bully for a president and he controls everybody’s opinion on the board. Yesterday he posted on a community website the statement: this is rich coming from a couple who have lived here for many years and have done nothing productive for the HOA. The only thing they have accomplished is to join the contractor lawsuit against the HOA resulting charge of $150,000 in attorney fee could’ve paid a mile of road or fixed and cleaned out a couple miles of ditches for stormwater. Speaking for myself I have done more for this HOA just today than they have done in 25 years. They are happy when they are sewing discontent or spewing conspiracy theories about how corrupt the current Board of Directors are. Listen to them if you must but whenever they post anything on here or their Facebook page know it’s to cause grief about things they have no idea about. Everything in the statement is false. I’ve only lived in the community since 2021. The lawsuit took three years and I never spoke to board members or residents because of the length they lost it. I’m very professional and keep my letters professional, asking questions that any resident in here would ask the Board of Directors.

If a professor described me positively in emails obtained through a TPIA request but also told others to contact campus police if I approached them due to ‘gender dynamics,’ could I have grounds for a lawsuit?

I need help completing PCOR in California.

Spoke to you recently on the general page. I feel it’s not slander—I can’t prove any slander—but the HOA president wrote a statement on our community website. Because he wasn’t upfront about a recent lawsuit, people I’ve never met are now haters, saying we’re harassing people (false). We only say “hi” to folks. I was told we’re not welcome in a resident-led “Community group,” and I got a Messenger note saying we’re not welcome to help with small improvements. During litigation we couldn’t correct rumors, so it stuck in people’s minds.

I need help with a lease agreement.

HOA fees turned into litigation.

My half-brother lied and said I sexually assaulted him. He filed a police report and got an order of protection. It was dismissed in General Sessions, but he appealed to Circuit Court and it was granted. I didn’t know about the appeal or court date. Now I’m in a database because of this order. I tried to sue him for lying, but the judge dismissed it without prejudice and said Circuit Court has to hear it.

I have a car that was purchased in my previous marriage. I paid the car off before the divorce and that is the car that I was using throughout our marriage since we got it originally. We got divorced and I continued to use the car as always. When it came time to renew the registration, I wasn’t able to because it was registered under his name at the DMV. I have asked him multiple times to transfer it to my name and he has declined every time. He is now threatening to report the car as stolen to get me in trouble. What can I do about the car situation?
