Q. I am currently taking care of my siblings, but their father recently hinted that he wants to take them. What can I do?

A: Whatever informal arrangement might exist, formal custody is determined by the courts. You're asking questions that really would benefit from sitting down and consulting with a family law attorney who can go over all the specifics of your situation and the options to seek formal guardianship and/or custody. If you do not have the resources to hire an attorney there is some free help selecting the correct forms to file at family law "pro se" or "self help" clinics staffed by volunteer attorneys at the Circuit Court. In Charles County, Family Law and General Civil Practice Clinics are sponsored by the Charles County Bar Association. The Family Law Clinic is open on Tuesdays from 9:00 a.m. to Noon. A volunteer lawyer is generally available to offer some guidance on custody matters. The clinics are located in the Charles County Circuit Courthouse next to Courtroom F. While not legal advice I hope that this general information helps.

Q. I’d like to trade mark “Train Like A Freak.” I’d like to trademark it as a “lifestyle” slogan for serious gym goers

A: The law prevents attorneys from "price fixing" or agreeing to charge a uniform fee for services so this is not the place to get an answer on fees. That said, I can understand your desire to get a sense of what costs might be involved before you retain an attorney. Some firms might post fees on their own individual websites or you might privately reach out to a few different intellectual property ("IP") attorneys and ask about their pricing. While not legal advice I hope that this helps.

Q. My daughter has an issue with rodents in her apartment. After 3 wks of run around she gave 30 day now they want 60!!

A: Generally speaking the right to get out of a lease is set by the lease. That said, Maryland offers a procedure called "rent escrow" when a landlord refuses to repair serious issues. Although the landlord may not voluntarily let a tenant out of a lease early, if the conditions are bad enough the court could offer a variety of relief such as reduced rent. The extent of the problem may affect how the court perceives the situation and what relief is offered- for example, an occasional mouse or two might not render a property unfit for living, but an extreme and documented case of rodent infestation that a landlord refuses to address might. A rent escrow action is filed in the District Court for the county where the property is located. The courts offer a free informational video for more information: https://mdcourts.gov/legalhelp/webinars/rentescrow While not legal advice specific to your situation, I hope that this information helps!
