Noncompete Agreement
Delaware
Employee contract, such as non compete/non solicit, could having this contract ever result in criminal/jail time?
If someone accuses you of fraud, because they believe you never had intended to honor your employment contract such as non-compete/non-solicit. Could this ever become a criminal case, resulting in criminal/jail time?
Matthew S.
No, at worst, it is a breach of a contract which is a civil matter to be handled in civil court.

Could someone go to jail if they are accused of fraud for never intending to not breaching his or her non compete non solicit contract?
I am really curious when employment contract can become criminal. Is it criminal to ask you coworker to come work with you, considering if you are accused of fraud for breaching non compete non solicit?
Matthew S.
No, this at worst is a civil matter and not a criminal matter. F
Landlord Tenant
Residential Lease Agreement
New Jersey
As a landlord, am I obligated to agree to a demand or a request by a tenant to modify a written lease agreement in order to remove the other tenant from the lease?
Tenants are unmarried couple. The decision to rent was based largely on the man's income. After 1 year of a 2-year lease, she demands to modify the lease to remove him from the lease. I asked for a new application and NTN Decision Point Plus Report. She submits only the application showing her alimony and child support income and social security disability income for her and her 3 children. What are my rights as a landlord with an existing written lease?
Matthew S.
No, you can enforce the agreement you entered into.

How do I exclude a child from my will?
I want to write my will and exclude an estranged son. Can I just have a paragraph stating my son's name and that he is to receive nothing whatsoever from my estate? Should I leave him $1.00? Is there a preferred approach to make sure he can't contest my will and receive anything? We've been estranged for years. Thanks.
Matthew S.
Yes, you could structure your will in that way. You don't even need to leave $1.

I want to leave my house to my grandson but give my daughter the right to live there as long as she lives. What kind of wording is needed in my will in WA State?
I want to leave my house to my grandson but allow his mom (my daughter) to live there through the end of her life. How do I word this in my will? The three of us have always lived together; my wife died recently.
Matthew S.
You would leave the house to your grandson while granting your daughter a life estate in the property.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
