In early 2022 I purchased a vehicle in New York. I had an active order of protection against my estranged husband at signing and explicitly stated I needed the vehicle in my name only. I made 5 to 7 loan payments. The title was issued solely in my estranged husband's name. The dealership engaged in bait and switch, obtained signatures on a second vehicle that never appeared on the contract, failed to provide copies citing a jammed printer, and used DMV complications on a holiday Friday to place my estranged husband's plates on the vehicle, temporarily, they said, though that became permanent. In June 2025 the DMV unilaterally issued a corrected title adding my name, confirming it always should have been there, with no changes to any other facts. Documented consequences include stopped loan payments due to inability to legally register the vehicle, 6 license suspensions across 5 jurisdictions, a bench warrant that was resolved through a dismissal by the district attorney, criminal charges with $850 or more in fees still partially owed, 3 active license suspensions, multiple tows and storage fees, job loss due to lack of transportation leading to loss of my apartment, a medical episode in March 2022 that resulted in suspension without pay, and a leave of absence for severe anxiety. My estranged husband's refusal to surrender his original title may block an upcoming re-registration. All evidence is preserved, including text messages, the contract, the title, a letter from the lender, security camera footage, and court records.

I'm a Plaintiff Pro Se in Civil Court litigation under FCRA violations. I'm going to file a Motion for Summary Judgment pursuant to NY CPLR 3212. My goal is to have my motion reviewed to see if there are any flaws within my motion and what should I add or omit from it.

I'm an RN in NY, my coworker has recently been put on leave and will most likely be fired for acting out of his scope. Is it okay for me to contact him to ask if he's doing alright or is it best for me to not?

Hello. My fiancé has joint custody with the mother of his child, who is 8. She told him today that she plans to move to [location redacted] and take the child out of school to be homeschooled. The court order states that the child cannot be taken out of the school district unless agreed upon by both parties, and any education decisions must be agreed upon by both parties. What can we do to ensure the child stays in the school district and the court order is followed? We already wrote in a text stating that dad does not agree. Next we were thinking of filing a petition for an enforcement of the order, and placing a petition for a change for the child to be placed in our home, with visitation with mom if she wants to move.
