GeorgiaIn my divorce papers I have a lien against my exhusband. He is required to pay for a car that I have. He has not been paying and I understand his home has a levy for taxes and will be sold on Aug 3rd. I need to know how to make sure this car is paid for when the home is taken.
GeorgiaWe've sold materials to builders/renovation companies who haven't paid us and have become unresponsive. We didn't provide labor and the materials were picked up, so we don't know where the materials were installed. Do we have lien rights or other recourse besides taking them to court? If we have lien rights, do we file against the address of the builder/renovation company? Thank you!
GeorgiaWe have completed 4 retention ponds for a builder. Two were done in July of 2022 and Two were done in December of 2022. The builder is holding a 10% retaining fee. They are advising me the ponds that were done in July need maintenance before the civil engineer will sign off. That job was paid for in full. I am wondering if it is legal for them to hold the retaining fee based on a job that was paid in full 10 months ago.

GeorgiaI completed a project for a customer and She (Jessica) refused to pay the remaining amount. This contract was in an email and agreed to as 1/2 payment was given at the beginning. When I tried to collect the remaining, she decided to pay only a portion of the remaining. Still owed is over $1000. Before I began the project, she was asking for a discount. My suspicion is she was going to take the discount regardless.
GeorgiaWe are a Computer Repair business in Swainsboro, GA. If a customer fails to collect their computer and pay costs, do we need to go through the Georgia Mechanics Lien procedures before disposing of the PC to recover our costs, or is there a simpler more streamlined process?
GeorgiaIf the City is asking for a GC to pick to issue and pick up the Building Permit, and the contractor is an entity made up of a LLC Company between two entities, one a Metal Cladding Sub and the other being a "Qualifying Agent GC", is this type arrangement really classified as a GC Entity that can work on exterior improvements at ten levels in a HR Building if neither has HR Experience?
GeorgiaWe've sold materials to builders and/or renovation companies who have failed to pay. We don't know where the materials were ultimately used. Do we have any lien rights when the company fails to pay us? If not, is our only other recourse taking them to court? Thank you!
GeorgiaI am a homeowner. I was approached by a roofing company representative on April 2, 2023, to look into (inspect) whether I had enough damage to my shingles to file a claim with my insurance company. Unfortunately, I signed a paper that I was told was just to give the roofing company permission to inspect my roof and start a claim, if indeed there was enough damage. I realize now I should have read the paper completely through first. I wasn’t given a copy of the agreement until I asked for it specifically on April 20. They did inspect the roof and we started a claim. Once our insurance company inspected the damage, they authorized repair only, with a total payout (after our deductible) of $108. The rep from the roofing company then wanted to video document the damage to try to get our insurance to cover the entire roof being replaced. (The rep has continued to push for this, seeming to be more interested in getting a full roof replacement approved than what we want.) When I mentioned that we were thinking of contacting another roofing company for comparison, the rep stated that if we went with another company, the agreement I had signed entitled his company to 20% of the insurance payout. According to the signed agreement, it expires 1 year from the date it was signed. We offered him the entire $108 approved as the claim payout in return for a statement that his company waived any further money, should we go with another company to replace our roof. He refused this. We asked to speak with his supervisor and were given what appears to be a dead number. We were told by the rep that his company is so busy right now replacing other roofs that we were better off not doing anything about it, as his company wouldn’t do much to try to collect this, since we don’t want to use his company. I’m concerned that the company will try to come after us for 20% of the value of the roof if we decide to replace it through another company, regardless of any possible insurance payout. At this time everything is still in limbo. We haven’t finalized the claim, nor have we authorized any further work. Do I need to worry about being sued? Should I retain a lawyer to protect myself?

GeorgiaMy sub started a project and halfway through, informed me that he was leaving Georgia. I immediately informed client and advised that I had other contractors that would finish project but she refused. Now attempting to take me to court but I feel that she breached contract because I was not allowed to finish with another contractor. He was working 3 jobs and the other 2 allowed me to send another contractor to finish and both has referred me for other projects.
