Neighbor harrassment

Over the last two years my neighbors have continually harrassed us by taunting us,slandering us to other neighbors,trespassing on our property,notifying the attorney handling the sale of the estate house next door that our fence is over the property line, and finally by calling animal control on us to complain that we have one too many dogs (dogs which are NOT nuisances-no barking,inside all the time except when let out to go potty,yard always kept pristinely clean). They have bought the house next door for their daughter and I fear it will only get worse now. I feel as if I am under siege in my own home. I cannot even go out in the yard. Do I have any recourse against these people to get them to leave me alone? Unfortunately moving is not an option at this time. The situation has caused me so much distress that I have had to start seeing a therapist and go on antidepressants and antianxiety medication.

Divorce civil suit

If my ex husband was found guilty of contempt and was also ordered to pay the mortgage on our house, and after a few months has decided to allow it to go into foreclosure, claiming that he is broke. However, I have actual proven documents as to the two substantial trusts he fraudulently omitted from the divorce and contempt financial statements (and is now seeking relief from judgment), it is my assumption that I can file a civil action against him for the damages of the intentional loss of the house. Would this be correct? Thank you for your time!

breach of verbal contract

My friend asked me to use my credit to purchase her engagement ring in June of 2007. My credit was approved and the ring was purchased with the agreement that her fiance (now husband) would make the payments. After many months of late payments, the wedding took place in June of 2008 and the payments stopped completely. The account has gone to collections. I've spoken with him and he keeps telling me that he's going to get the bill taken care of. I've suggested that they give me the ring back so that I can give it back to the Jeweler (or sell it and pay the loan) but they won't give it back. What is my legal recourse?

Supreme court Subpoena

Does the US supreme court (supremecourtus.gov) subpoena people? If they don't, which is the highest court that can do so in the country?

How would that court go about sending that subpoena out?

(Even though my location is California, I was wondering what the highest court that issues subpoena's is in the entire US.)

Awaiting your response,

NJ Judgement for a non-compete upheld in NY?

Will a judgement handed down by a the NJ Superior Court to enforce a non-compete restrictive covenant with geographical restrictions of not being able to be employed within a 3 mile radius of one's prior employment be enforcable in NY when the defendant is a NY resident and the business they have gone to is also a NY business which is located in NY?

loss of use

I took my car to get painted 10 months ago. I still do not have it back. Can I sue for loss of use of my car?

fee waiver

I had already asked about a fee waiver, If a Plaintiff is represented by a private attorney who agrees to take their case for a late fee or attorneys fees, is it up to the attorney to pay the filing fees and

other costs with the understand they get a percentage of the judgement if any? Why would the court agree a fee waiver if she is represented by a attorney, who is most likely going to be paid hansomely at some point. My point is why should the city or state absorb the cost of the suit if the attorney is taking the case. In the past every attorney I have ever heard of has paid the up front cost of the suits, because he believes they will prevail in the end. Or am I wrong?

Now What? Guy Vandalizes Girlfriends Stuff. No Proof

A friend of mine had been dating a guy for about 4 months, when out of the blue, she returned home to find it completely vandalized. Nothing had happened recently between the two of them (i.e; a big fight) to suggest to her that he had done it, but upon closer observation, she noticed that nothing of his had been moved or damaged.

She of course called the cops immediately after getting home (He was there when she arrived) to report a break in, and of course after she figured out that her boyfriend (who broke up w/her that same day) had done it, the police obviously can't arrest him for damages since there is no proof, and he has a key to the house, but can't two and two be put together.

The guy has been writing hateful emails, and she has been nothing but distraught throughout the whole time, and has remained polite in each of her responses to him. All of her stuff is basically destroyed, she has a laptop that has been completely smashed. Is there legally nothing that can be done? Isn't there any possible way that he could be held responsible for the damages?

Some more info that might help:

He is 37 years old, and she is 22.

When she got there, he had stuff packed, and was sweating.

Nothing of his was damaged.
