I live on a dead end block that due to the road's structure, you are only able to park cars on one side of the street, otherwise cars would not be able to drive down the block. A neighbor of mine has one of those signs that is sort of shaped like the AIM logo man that holds a flag. He puts this in the street, against the curb whenever the neighborhood kids are out playing, usually it is in front of my house. No one speeds down our block, and we already have a legit sign posted at the opening of our block that states "SLOW Children Playing" and a 'Dead End' street sign as well. This sign is not only an eye sore being as its bright yellow, but I do not like having it in front of my house especially since sometimes it will be right next to my driveway making it difficult to turn into and it interrupts the flow of traffic because although no one speeds, it causes people to go super slow in order to make sure not to hit the sign or the car parked across from it. He at times will also put it at the opening of the block, a couple feet from the curb, so turning into the block is not as easy.

Being that we already have a sign cautioning people that children play on our block, and the fact that he puts it in the street which is public property, do I have the right to get rid of it myself?

Mortgage Payments By Mistake

Hello, Last year, I asked a friend of mine to pay my mortgage for one month and one month only. That month was June 2006. He did everything online and, by mistake, ended up paying 7 or 8 months instead of just one. Now he wants his money. I paid him back for June of last year, but now he wants the rest. I am not employed and I live elsewhere. He is the broker handling the rental of my condo. What can I do? What steps can he take against me? Thank you.--name removed--

Separated but insured on spouse's plan

I am separating, and I have health

insurance now through my husband's

plan. Can he legally drop me from his

health insurance if we are still legally

married but no longer live together?

Thanks.

dividing property

My wife and her sister co-own acreage inherited when their dad died. They can't agree on how to divide the property. I understand that a partitioning proceeding can occur to solve this problem. How does it work?
