DR Horton built its condos with fiber optic and has a contract with a phone service. In order to use the landline we must use that company that is expensive and I heard is horrible.This is preventing me from getting a work at home job because I need a landline. I want to use Bellsouth, what can I do as a home owner. I thought I had a right to chose whatever company I want.

Do I have to travel back my to home in Texas to file for child support on is there a way to file electronically?

At what point do people working from home need to worry about having a business?

drshorty asked:


Many people occasionally work for money at home. For example, business owners hire their neighbors to stuff and put stamps on envelopes. Neighbors babysit for neighbors in their own homes. Licensed cosmetologists occasionally cut hair for money at home. Massage therapists may give a massage in their home. However, people don’t usually get a business license or zoning changes to do this kind of thing. At what point does working at home become a home business? Are all these people breaking the law?

I’d like to know:
How do zoning laws and commissions feel about this kind of thing?
What do you think should be done?
