- We owned a business and an employee stole from one of our clients. We had to pay the client back. The court ordered the employee to repay the business but she never has.

Any chance we can still recoup the loss?

My son has is currently living with me and the divorce was set in Kansas. What steps do I need to take to regain residential rights? Can the venue be changed?

- I have been paying on a hospital bill through a collection agency. On my last statement I noticed that the amount due had increased by almost $3000. I called the agency and was informed that the hospital had submitted another bill. I was also informed that this bill went back to 9/11/06. I went through my records and had no bills with that date. That remained unpaid. I also called my insurance provider and was told that only one bill was submitted for that date and it had been paid I did have record of this bill. I have requested a copy of the charges from the collection agency and as of yet have not received anything. They tell me this was mailed on 11/30. In the meantime, I contacted the hospital and was told that the bill in question was for my daughter and that they were unable to send me a copy of the bill because it was not in my name but in the name of my daughter’s paternal grandmother. What are my options at this point Can I refuse to pay this since it is technically not by bill and they should be collecting from the person the bill was sent to, or am I obligated to pay this in full since it is my daughter even though I did not consent to her having any treatments?

- When I was young my Grandmother was given a painting by her boss. It was always intended for it to be passed down to my sister and I. My Grandfather died about 5 years ago. Now his third wife and her family are trying to keep the painting. This is all part of a trust set up for my sister and I. The bank that is in charge of the trust just so happened to misplace the one page in my Grandmothers Will that states that the painting is to go to my sister and I. Furthermore, the bank allowed my Grandfather to cash in shares and move money around from accounts that he was not authorized to do so. The Bank in charge of the trust does not seem to be looking after our best interests as beneficiaries. Do I have any legal rights in Kansas to go after the Bank for mismanagement of the Trust?
|
- My son wants to come live with me. I want to know how old does he have to be to get to decide who he can live with.
