My neighbors have complained to animal control that my dogs bark too much. The 2 neighbors on the right of me are related to each other, ad have been rude and harassing since I moved in 1 1/2 years ago. My dogs are fenced in, never outside when I'm not home, and when they bark I immediate bring them inside. They never bark for more than 2-3 minutes at a time while outside because I bring them in. Animal control said it's a valid complaint because more than one neighbor has complained and they have done it multiple times. The neighbors dogs are not fences or leashed and they are on my property a lot deficating. They also have noisy chickens that roam on my property. I always ignore the neighbors when they are cussing me out and go back inside. I have never compained about thier animals. I have done everything I can to avoid the conflict with them. I do not let my dogs stay outside barking all day.

I live in Cass county Michigan.

What are my options at this point to stop the false complaints and harassment?

A family member has dimentia.Without anyone knowing ,a relative convinces the family member to name them as sole beneficiary to a bank account.The family member dies and the relative claims their money. The family member lived in Florida but the bank account was with a N.Y. bank. Can the relative be sued in NY? What kind of law does this fall into?

This is a free question

I am the well secretary of a shared well in unincorporated pima county. One of our members is about to go into default and we are processing the paperwork accordingly. The well agreement states that after being in default for 91 days, without curing the default, the members in default forfeit their priviledge of using the water coming from the well. I take this to mean that we can install a locking valve and turn off their water.

I have been told, however, that AZ law prohibits you from taking away someone's water. Is this true?

Do I, as the well secretary, have the right to enforce the provision outlined in the well agreement to shut off their water?

Thanks!

Giving water for free....

Hi,

In Texas, or the United States for that matter, is it legal to keep a meerkat as a pet?

Thanks

In October of 2008 during a heavy wind storm a large branch from a neighbors tree fell and damaged part of my garage and destroying a small flowering tree. I understood at that time that the

"Act of God' term applied. My loss was about $250. What was left over from the storm was a two foot diameter and twelve foot long damaged branch. My question is can the owner be liable for any future damge due to neglect to the tree which still has the damged branch. The changing weather will surely weaken the remainder tree. Five owners are at risk of damaged property.

Estimated tree size: 75 ft. tall, 4 ft. diam by 8ft tall trunk, 4 main branches 2 ft in diam
