- Q. Can child support be taken from car accident lawsuit winnings in Florida?
- A: Your settlement payment does not flow through the Child Support Depository in your county or in Tallahassee. Nowif there is any sort of lien on the settlement proceeds placed by the State or the other party, then yes, that lien would have to be satisfied before your settlement could be disbursed to you. This is something you need to ask your attorney.
- Q. Is it normal for a lawyer to contact me about an unknown collections lawsuit?
- A: Collection defense lawyers do this all the time, everywhere. Whether its appropriate to do so by e-mail, I don't know. Washington State rules of professional conduct may permit it. You should be able to look up your name in your county clerk's website. Look for Court records, or something similar. Don't look in Official Records, or recorded documents, because you won't find it there.
- Q. Received cease and desist from HOA about tenant marijuana use; should I share proof of notification email?
- A: yes, you should share the notice to your tenants. There's no privacy concerns. As the owner of the unit, you are the one whose life the HOA can make most miserable, and financially difficult. It makes no sense to not cooperate with the HOA.
