Contractors

We are a Homemaker, companion and CNA placement agency. Can we employ our staff as independent contractors? If so, which Service Agreement can we use to cover our employees in the homes we place?

Our construction company registered a Materialman's Lien for material and labor against a home located in Flower Mound, TX in Jan 2004. In June 2005 Wells Fargo sold the same home to another homeowner without paying us. As the lien was a substantial amount, $760,000 what rights do we have regarding this lien, as we never released Wells Fargo from their obligation, never collected from the current homeowner who was the original purchaser from the bank. What is the statute of limitations in the state of Texas to collect against a M & M lien, and did we have to do anything more at the county to keep it current?

In Virginia, I am a sub contractor filing a warrant in debt on a contractor i did work for, My question is, can I subpoena the records of the home owners or the home owners showing that they have paid the contractor for my work?

The General Contractor has been paid in full for an addition to a home. A subcontractor has not been paid by the GC and has filed a mechanic's lien against the home owner. In NY State, is this legal?

A lien claimant must bring an action to foreclose on a lien within one year of filing of the lien statement. So as long as you start the court case within the year period the lien is good as long as the action is in court?
