warranty law

At a recent family event someone thought that if a car owner installs their own trailer hitch and trailer lights that they void the warranty.   Not true.

Pursuant to Magnusson-Moss federal law,  any thing you put on your car doesn't void the warranty unless it was the cause of a problem. Only that problem is not warranted.   So if you attach trailer lights wrong and that causes the right turn signal to not function,  only the right turn signal is not warranted.   If the transmission goes,  unrelated to the trailer lights,  the transmission is still warranted.

You know your marriage is dead. We know the law.

When you realize that your marriage is dead, all sorts of emotions start flowing.  Some find peace.  Others are depressed.  The person that you thought you were going to spend the rest of your life with, is no longer the person you married.

If you feel sad, depressed, troubled, or any of the other plethora of emotions, you should seek a mental health care professional.  Jeffrey Jacobson recommends a psychologist.  A psychologist specializing in marriage would be the best.  They are trained to help you with your new beginning.

One of the first things you need to do is give yourself time to grieve.  Research shows that the end of a marriage is like the death of someone.  One of the best ways to grieve is to set aside time to be sad.  This could be the whole weekend, or a few hours each night.  Also, journaling is a great way to handle all of the emotions.  Journalling is putting down all of the things that are bothering you and make you happy.  This journal will be beneficial to your psychologist and your attorney.

Then, you should immediately contact an attorney that practices in family law.  Jeffrey Jacobson has almost 25 years of representing people that need a divorce.  He understands the trauma and the future for his clients.  You are going to need financial direction, emotional direction, and to work through the maze of the law, you are going to need Jeffrey M. Jacobson to help you.

If there is a child, then you need someone that has been representing parents to protect their rights.  Jeffrey M. Jacobson has been protecting and advocating for parent's rights since he began practicing law.

When you are ready for the divorce, yes, it is sometimes a difficult word to say, you need to focus on five issues:  (1)  custody and visitation, if there are children, (2) Child support, if there are children.  (3) division of assets, (4) division of debts, and (5) maintenance.

Call Jeffrey M. Jacobson at 331-222-9529 any time you feel you need someone on your side.

Real Estate changes

While the new real estate laws were set to go into effect on July 1, 2015, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) changed the date.  It is now October 3, 2015 when the new Lender Estimate and Closing Disclosure are set to be required.

Once these new rules are required, the consumer will then have an opportunity to go over the lenders information before choosing a loan.  Also, if the financial numbers change for the closing, for example the interest rate changes by more than an 1/8 of a percent, the consumer has three days to think about the new information before closing.  What if the payments are too high for the buyer?

There are a lot more changes, which I will be discussing in my future blogs.
