- Q. Hello, Can a signed contract be changed or modified in any way?
- A: Yes, contracts may be invalidated or changed for a variety of reasons.

- Q. What are my options if part of a Final Judgement of Divorce is dropping an FRO and it has not been done yet?

- Q. I purchased a defective piece of furniture (paid $6,572) from a furniture store, Ship Bottom NJ
