What is the statute of limitation on vehicle repossession in the state of Florida?
"Statute of limitations for repossessed vehicles" doesn't make a lot of sense.
If you're asking what the timeframe is to get it back... it varies depending on your location, but it's really, really short. Like, a few days in most places.
In theory yes, however Florida statutes pertaining to liens against homesteads are difficult to enforce due to the fact that Florida has unlimited homestead exemption. The exception would be a Mechanic's lien.
Can a repo man go into a locked or closed garage?
No, they cannot enter the garage locked or not without a court order. Likewise police would not get involved in the issue unless such an order was in place or they were called due to a physical altercation or other violation of the law.
What can be done if a Tenant is late with the first rent payment?
Depends on your lease. If the lease says something happens, then it does.
If the lease is not in writing, one of a few things can happen. Nothing is one. If it's very late the landlord could ask you for something like a late fee, and you could agree or not. The landlord could threaten to terminate your lease if you don't pay some kind of late fee, and that's a dilemma, especially where you set up a situation where you start paying late fees, then the next time the landlord will expect you to pay it like an additional part of the (unwritten) lease agreement
Repossession laws of California?
California statutes are organized into broad titles (i.e. Penal Code, Civil Code, etc.). Finding the applicable law on repossession depends on the type of property involved. For example, laws regarding car repossession are set forth in California's Rees-Levering Automobile Sales and Finance Act, Civil Code section 2981, et seq.
What rights does your wife have regarding the house if she leaves?
It depends on the way she left? and the reasons behind her decision? Also, having children would make any hasty decision a reason for further regrets. Sometimes, people run away just to make a point or to express their rejection. A married woman should usually regret this, even if her escape was for another man. You should be wise and try to buy time and persuade her to come back. If she does, try to sort the problem and look behind the actions. It's your obligation to evaluate if this marriage is still good for you or if this wife is decent enough to be your companion. Anyway, think twice before you take the decision of divorce and try to warn her on the bad consequences of her actions

What does a court order look like?
A court order can also be called a decree, writ, edict or judgment, depending on the circumstances.
- - - - -

- - - - -
A Court Order, or the Order of the Court, is a document drafted by a Judge stating that certain events must or must not happen. The Order will be referring to specific individuals and if those individuals do not comply with the Court Order then they risk being penalised by the law, either fined or imprisoned. What a Court Order normally does is make something which is legal for most people effectively illegal just for the named individuals on the Order, for example, in a harassment case person A may be Ordered by the Court not to go within a mile of person B's house (a restraining order). So it's legal for the rest of the world to go within person B's house, just illegal for person A.

In more simple circumstances the Order of the Court can refer to a Judge's decision or ruling in a case the Judge has heard.

- might be charged if the hit and run caused bodily injury
- might be charged for faling to make a police report (it is required in some situations)
- the police will want your statement - remember, you can be charged also if you lie to the police-- better to say nothing until you consult an attorney if you're being charged

- You will have to pay all the tickets and court costs.
- you'll notify your insurance company who will want your statement

- your insurance rates will go up
- you still need to pay your deductible to get your vehicle fixed -- a high deductibe will be an ouch to your wallet
- you might not have a car to drive for a while while it's fixed---or until you can afford the repairs
- your insurance will pay for the damages to the other vehicle(s)
- if costly enough, your carrier could terminate your insurance
- you'll face embarrassment but better to get it over with
- If your parents' car, whatever punishment they decide.
If you don't report it, the police can still end up finding you or your damaged car. Better to report it yourself. But you'll still be dealing with all the things stated above.

Reports to police fall under criminal, not civil, since anyone unfortunate enough to have experience will tell you. When the police are called on a civil matter, they tell you to take the person to civil court. While a report may still be made on a civil matter (if the officer is kind enough to take the time to do it), it appears that the only time you can file criminal charges for false report made against you is when the report involves a crime being committed. Here is the law according to The Texas Penal Code:
Texas Penal Code - Section 37.08. False Report To Peace Officer Or Law Enforcement Employee § 37.08. FALSE REPORT TO PEACE OFFICER OR LAW ENFORCEMENT
EMPLOYEE. (a) A person commits an offense if, with intent to
deceive, he knowingly makes a false statement that is material to a
criminal investigation and makes the statement to:
(1) a peace officer conducting the investigation; or
(2) any employee of a law enforcement agency that is
authorized by the agency to conduct the investigation and that the
actor knows is conducting the investigation.
(b) In this section, "law enforcement agency" has the
meaning assigned by Article 59.01, Code of Criminal Procedure.
(c) An offense under this section is a Class B misdemeanor.
Acts 1973, 63rd Leg., p. 883, ch. 399, § 1, eff. Jan. 1, 1974.
Amended by Acts 1993, 73rd Leg., ch. 900, § 1.01, eff. Sept. 1,
1994; Acts 1997, 75th Leg., ch. 925, § 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1997.
I found this info here: http://law.onecle.com/texas/penal/index2.html, where it appears you can view laws for all states.
Yes, you can. Before reporting it stolen I suggest you record (with her permission and knowledge of recording) that you want car otherwise it will be reported stolen. If she refuses to give you the car then you can report it stolen. I would check with local police or county police as some will not care and do nothing but get your car back without arresting spouse. It depends upon the state you reside in and the circumstances under which the vehicle came into her possession. Simply because the vehicle is in one spouse's name does not translate into the other spouse being liable for grand theft auto or any criminal act.
Do you have to pay for a car if it gets repossesed?
Yes. The borrower is responsible for the entire loan amount. The car is considered collateral for the loan. This does not imply that the loan value cannot exceed the collateral value. In fact this happens on almost every car loan, especially with new cars. The lender can repossess the car and sell it. They are required to apply the proceeds from the sale to the loan principal, but any remaining balance is the borrower's responsibility.

The government may NOT take property without paying a fair price for it. And they must use due process to take it over.
Amendment V of the US ConstitutionNo person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
