Contra Costa CA Criminal defense, Litigation and Real estate -- eLawyers

I was just contacted by a new attorney representing my ex-husband who was convicted of 2 felonies with special circumstances for domestic violence against me in 2004. i was awarded full physical and legal custody of our now 9 year old son. It appears he is going to fit for full or at least joint custody. What can I expect in this situation?

My Husband and I divorced in Sptember 2009. In our final divorce papers it states that my husband had filed for bankruptcy and that all community debt has been discharged. This statement is untrue and my ex-husband did not file for bankruptcy and i have had to pay off creditors somewhere near the amout of $7000.00. Can I take my ex-husband back to court for reimbursement of these monies?

I had to break a one year rental lease and moved out early. I moved out after only 6 months. I received a bill from the landlord a few months later billing me for the rest of the lease term. They claimed they couldn't rent my apartment out for 5 months! The apartment is a large complex so I had a hard time believing they couldn't rent it out. They did provide me with the new tenant's rental agreement, however, I feel they didn't even bother showing my apartment, rather they just tried to rent the other apartments before mine. In the 5 months I did live there, I saw at least 4 - 5 people move into other apartments in the complex...
So my question is does the landlord have a reasonable time to rent the apartment out or can they just let it stay empty and then just bill me for the remaining lease period?

My parents own the home that my sister and her daughter live(d) in. My sister passed away in early September. She did not pay rent or have any type of written agreement. My parents asked my neice (who is over 30 yrs old) how much time she needed to move out. My neice asked to stay until mid-November. It is now early November and my neice has shown no sign of leaving. She rarely answers her phone nor does she ever seem to be at the house. She has two large dogs living on/in the property and often neglects to feed them. What should my parents do to get my neice to move out?

I have been letting my friend stay in my rental in exchange for babysitting. Yesterday, I noticed money from my wallet missing again, and went home to confront her. When I opened the door, I caught her smoking in my house. This is against my rules and is very dangerous to my family's health. I told her to take her property and leave. She wrote me a letter stating that she will take legal action if I do not let her stay 30 days. Is the 30 day law still valid if she is doing illegal activities and putting my family in danger? We are in California.

It has recently come to my attention that my neighbor has put up a surviellance camera, so that he can watch his pickup. But in the view of his pickup, he has constant view of my front door and yard. Is his violating any of my rights? If so, is there anything I can legally do?

I rented a 3 bedroom house with an agreement that the landlord could have approx. 30 days to remove "their" personal belongings from the 3rd bedroom. HOWEVER, I have been there 16 months and "their" possessions remain in the 3rd bedroom and their possessions still remain in 1/2 of the garage. So, in essence I have been renting a 2 bedroom instead of a 3 bedroom. What are my recourses against the landlord?
