AI-generated image of a young business owner.

I signed a non-compete years ago at my first job, and now my old boss is threatening to sue me for opening my own business. Can he really do that?

You were young and signed whatever paperwork was put in front of you to get the job. Fast forward a few years, and now you’ve moved on and started your own business. Suddenly, your old boss is threatening legal action, pointing to that non-compete agreement you barely remember signing. But after so much time has passed, does that old agreement still hold any real power, or is it just being used to scare you?

AI-generated image of a woman concerned about her name not being on the title to her ex's house.

My ex and I bought a house, but I just found out only his name is on the title even though I helped pay down payment and mortgage. What can I do?

You thought you were building something together. You helped with the down payment and chipped in on the mortgage...but then after the breakup, you find out your name isn’t on the title at all.
