- Q. Can I legally kick out my 17-year-old daughter before she turns 18 in Florida due to behavioral issues?
- A: To remove an occupant from a home, whether they have a lease or not, and have been staying there for more than 3-4 weeks, a court order from landlord-tenant court is required. If the occupant is a child under 18, this may serve as a complete defense to eviction. A person cannot simply be told to leave the home, regardless of their age, without a court order. That being said, if this individual is physically violent towards the homeowner, then that may be grounds to get some type of restraining order and order that the child be placed in foster care if under the age of 18. Consulting a landlord-tenant attorney before taking any legal action is recommended.
- Q. Concerned about marrying Japanese citizen amid immigration policies and unwarranted deportations.
- A: You definitely are watching too much television and the fear migraine that they espouse. Your Japanese fiancé would be considered in the immediate relative category. Immigrants in this category are treated like the gold standard and always will be. So you have nothing to worry about as long as your relationship is in good faith and Bona fide. You should work with an attorney so that your case can be processed expeditiously and competently without any complications. Some of us charge a very affordable flat fee to handle the case from start to finish.

- Q. How to word an email to State Farm for bodily injury policy disclosure after accident.
- A: A written request for policy disclosure should specify a deadline for when the policy must be provided. This can be done via email or certified letter. Typically, insurance companies respond promptly without issues.
If you’re representing yourself, be aware that any medical treatment from third parties may carry a subrogation lien on part of your settlement proceeds. You are legally required to protect those liens, or you may face collection efforts for those debts.
A clever attorney will be able to negotiate the subrogation liens for pennies on the dollar. You should consider retaining counsel on contingency fee, which means you pay nothing unless you win the case.
