Violation & Enforcement: When Does Presence Near a Protected Person Violate a Protective Order

My question involves restraining orders in the State of: California

Not sure what it takes to prove violation of an RO - or if this type of violation will be taken seriously.

Got an RO in July against an acquaintance who was infatuated with me. He started getting very clingy and stalkerish. Always turning up at a public place I frequent - pretending it was a coincidence. Repeatedly told him I was uncomfortable. Found out he was married with two kids. Had also lied about some other big things. He comes across as very socially awkward. After I told him in no uncertain terms to back off and cut off contact he would just be there on the street near my house (nowhere near his house or work) at the time he knew I was going to and from work. I'd see him in his car on my way out of work and around my car every time I was at the place mentioned above. It was FAR too coincidental. Then I found a tracker on my car. I also suspect he was in my house. Can't prove it was him but he is the only one who kept showing up. Have tons of emails of email where he admits his behavior was pestering and sneaky. In the end, he stipulated to the order.

I still see him at a particular place. I began noticing that if I'd see him in one area, he is always right on the street as I am leaving (30 - 45 minutes later). The timing to enable him to HAPPEN to be there is not possible without a huge effort on his part. In other words, it is not a coincidence. In a correspondence pre RO when I was telling him to back off, he said "I am afraid if you don't see me, you are going to forget about me". He is deliberately making sure I "see" him.

So technically he is not violating the RO but I find this creepy and unnerving. After 4 months of this I have started tracking when this happens (currently it is happening almost every time I am at this place - 3x a week).

At what point should I report this? To whom (victims advocate with the DA's office)?
How long is reasonable to let this go on?
Should I be doing anything else?

Establishing an Order: Can I Be Sued for Retroactive Support of Unknown Child

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Georgia/Colorado

I was just contacted by a young man who claims to be my son. It's quite possible since I did date his mother 24 years ago while we were both in the Army. We were never seeing each other exclusively, and I did find out months after I stopped seeing her that she was pregnant. I asked her about it and was told that it belonged to her current boyfriend. She ended up getting married to the boyfriend and gave the child his last name. Now 24 years later he has contacted me via social media and states that his mother told him I am actually the biological father. There was never any attempt that I know of to contact me the past 24 years.

I am interested in meeting him, seeing his family and would like to start by having a DNA test done to confirm he is my son. My question is am I liable in any way for retroactive child support? He was conceived and born in the state of Colorado and spent most of his life with the mother in state of Georgia. Am I inviting risk of lawsuit by sending him a DNA test kit? He states that he wants nothing and is only looking to connect and ask questions, which I have no problems with. I have a friend though who found himself in a similar situation, with a woman showing up at his door with a 12 year old child who he'd never been informed of previously. Upon getting back a positive paternity test he is now requited by the state of Hawii to pay over $100k in back child support, interest and private school expenses. I understand taking responsibility for your actions, but this has destroyed him financially.

Is there a statute of limitations on Child Support? Do I have anything to be concerned about?

Thanks

Should I File a Complaint Against This Land Surveyor for Negligence

My question involves real estate located in the State of: Massachusetts
Ever since our neighbor, who lives right, found that our old backyard fence is not on the borderline between our property and hers, she had been trying to plot down unwanted plants on our property and verbally attacking us using bad language. Moreover, she was planning to extend her driveway, possibly into our property, and we are worried that after she extends the driveway, we can't even remove some unwanted trees on our property. Therefore, we quickly set up a fence after she hired a land surveyor to do a survey for her. The new fence was installed within our lot, 0.5' from the neighbor's survey mark.However, after we built the fence, she has attempted to push down the fence, leading us to call the police, who took notes on the situation but told us that that we need to go civil court to get the judgement.The fence is still wobbling because of the big holes after moving out base cements.We need that to be fixed.So we want to order a survey for our own lot.

Because of time issues,another neighbor across the street recommended a land surveyor who did their project one year before. We contacted this surveyor and got the contract form which said that the project will start in 4-5 weeks after contract signed and deposit paid.We did as requested and informed him. Three days later we inquired to make sure he received our mail. He replied as "yes, it arrived yesterday.i'll let you know when i have a time scheduled for your project" So we had been waiting for the specific schedule so that we could arrange an adult at home when they were doing the job, until one late afternoon we found all the surveying marks already set without any notice to us. We found that the marks set at the disputing site showing our new fence is outside border by 0.5 foot, this means there is one feet discrepancy toward our lot between our surveyor and neighbor's surveyor. On the left side our surveyor set the marks beyond an old fence (which was supposed outside our borderline 0.5 foot) by over 2 feet.
Then in the next couple of days, we e-mailed the surveyor
"Today we found that some wooden rods were staked during 2~3 hours my wife leaving from our home.Are these your final results you just got within 2~3 hours (actually less than 2 hours from our home security video), without looking for standard marks?Is this done by only yourself in person?" No response.
"Why not you inform us first for your schedule as you promised? Now we can only guess that you hardly did the actual measurement other than artificially moving our lot toward #(other than disputing) side!Actually if you used #(disputing side)'s marks as reference, those rods had been moved a couple of inches toward our side by the driveway paving workers of #(disputing side)'s. We strongly suspect the accuracy of those rods."No response.
Four days after we found those new marks, the surveyor sent us a stamped plan by e-mail with only"i determined the location of your lot lines based on an analysis of the location found survey control markers. this analysis showed that the corner at the right rear of your property is out of place by 0.86' we staked the lot lines accordingly."
Then we asked "Do you always allow such inconsistency?My plot is in a irregular shape, a small discrepancy at one point will cause much more difference at other side.This is not acceptable!Even according to your current data, the discrepancy caused 0.86x117.38=100.95 square feet difference at left side.How do you decide which one existing marker is correct,which one is not?Just does your license allow you to arbitrarily judge?The document #(X) from Middlesex Registry of Deed,Cambridge,Massachusetts shows that every lots are sealed without any space between.How would you deal with the 0.86'? "No response.
"When did you come to do the measurement?On which day(s)?How long did it take for you to do the field work?How many of your people came?Do you use any equipment at all?According to your logic,"this does not alter the size of your lot." , you could have moved my lot to Boston or anywhere else as long as the size the same, in such ridiculous case, should we accept it?" No response.
"Today our neighbor at #(disputing side) asked us to remove our new fence. According to your new rod, our fence is in her lot!In the plan you just produced, we found that you indicated "FOUND REBAR" at the northeast corner,R=40.00' and A=17.00', is actually underneath accumulated snow, which had been there before Dec 14. There has been no significant snow fallen after Dec 14. How could you find that "FOUND REBAR" and use it as reference without removing the thick snow there?" No response.
Three more days later, we got his e-mail only said "it is my professional opinion that the stakes show the correct location of your deeded property lines." without any explanation.
We carefully checked our home security video and found that 2 persons came and randomly set up their tripod in front of our yard near disputing side,moved only once toward rear end of our lot but still in the same side. They never moved it to our left side before leaving.
I'd like to ask every expert here:
Can the equipment on the tripod get reading round a building?down slope? behind fence?
Does all land surveyor refuse to answer questions to customer?
Any comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Dying in the E.r. for 2 Days. Treated Like Garbage Because Your Seen As a Mental Ward

My question involves malpractice and incompetent medical treatment resulting in psychological trauma do to the cruel way I was treated and a debilitating injury that’s a result of non treatment by the E.R. of my illness they actually gave the diagnosis of.. They called me an unknown newly diagnosed diabetic. But, because I was brought in for mental confusion and hallucinations, the Dr. that diagnosed me as a new diabetic, found it incidental I was diabetic even if I didn’t know I was. I was a mental ward patient not to be worried with. Treated me with mild, very slow acting type 2 diabetic medication that take weeks to effect glucose levels in the blood left me alone unable to walk, I was falling all over the place because I couldn’t walk, my legs wouldn’t work and right knee and ankle wouldn’t tolerate any weight being placed on it or contact with anything at all even socks! So after almost 2 days being stuck aside and not treated properly, I was finally shipped up to the dreaded 4th floor.. oh, by the way my incidental diabetic diagnosis not being addressed and my not being sent to the ICU for emergency insulin I.V. And fluids treatment didn’t cause my death, although I’ve been told by a w Drs. not affiliated with this hospital I was at, that I didn’t die probably because I didn’t eat or drink anything for 2 days because I was throwing everything up I could keep water down these Doctors have informed me that the new and permanent crazy painful Neuropathy I suffer from and will forever because of my near death high levels of glucose. If proper treatment of someone at a blood glucose level of 500 and an a1c of higher then 14 would have been given, I wouldn’t be in this pain and I could walk. Alos along with an ankle and knee injury I complained hourly about to the medical staff, they said I was fine and I could walk, well, I’m having an MRI in 2 days my new Pediatrist ordered because he thinks I have tendons damaged that they did not check for at the hospital!
Anyway, I’m having trouble translating all this info in a short post so I will stop.

I did end up being treated somewhat properly starting the 3rd day and I’m alive but, I want someone’s ass!

Property Division: Is Filing Separate Tax Returns Necessary with Income from Separate Property

My question involves a marriage in the state of: California

Income that will be reported on next year's tax filings also can complicate community property issues, so a join tax return or two married filing separately might need to be considered. An example would be stock in a company being sold which has a tax liability.

"Separate property can be transmuted into community property not only by agreement but by actions too. Seemingly innocuous acts, like one person making a mortgage payment on their spouse's separate residence, can have an impact."

Does filing cause an issue?

Pretrial Motions: Correct Title for Motion to Modify Domestic Violence No-Contact Order

My question involves criminal law for the state of: New Hampshire

I'm hoping someone may be able to help me title the motion I'm writing appropriately. Defendant has conditions of bail that include a standard no-contact order. The Court noted on the order of protection/conditions of bail that the Court will hear a "bail review upon request". Bail is set at $1000 PR. The Judge mentioned he will listen to a request to have the no-contact order lifted, but was not willing to do so at the time. He wished to have more time for both parties to "smooth out" and "calm down".

My main questions is: What should the Motion be titled? Is it "Defendant's Motion to Modify Bail Conditions", "Defendant's Motion to Remove Orders of Protection", "Defendant's Motion to Remove No-Contact Order", 'Defendant's Motion to Modify Orders of Protection", "Defendant's Motion to Request Bail Review", or "Defendant's Motion to Modify No-Contact Order"?

I'm thinking it would be "Defendant's Motion to Modify Bail Conditions" or "Defendant's Motion to Request Bail Review". I'm basing this off how the Judge spoke, and what he noted he will allow: "bail review upon request".

I'm confident in writing this motion, both defendant and victim want this to happen as the victim is homeless and living on the street because of this order. The only thing I"m not confident on is how to title it! Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you and Happy New Year!

Harassment: Interstate Text Harassment

My question involves criminal law for the state of: South Dakota and California

I live in South Dakota and the person harassing me lives in California.

Since July 2017, on 3 separate occasions, I have received vile and threatening (and very long and detailed) text messages from an ex girlfriend of a man I was dating. She has threatened me with slanderous and obscene name-calling (rapist, molester, thief, trespasser, alcoholic, drug addict). There have been threats to have me arrested for multiple reasons, and at times she has taken my ex's phone without his knowledge and sent messages from that. She has a history of doing this to others via social media, which I quickly found out with only minimal online research. The first time it happened, I responded. The last two times I have not. The first time I was still in a relationship with this man, the last two incidents came after we had split.

I have been told she is unstable by several acquaintances (including my ex himself and their son), and while I want to hope that she she won't follow through, I do not know that for sure...and that scares me tremendously. I felt forced to tell my four daughters about this woman's behavior because I was seriously afraid she would contact them as well. When this began my youngest was only 20 and this worried me and still does. Having to share her texts with the horrific language wasn't easy for me.

The bottom line is that this woman scares me to death. I am a church secretary and if she started to contact others with her slanderous statements, it would be horribly embarrassing for me. After receiving her latest text today, I instantly went into fear mode that she will contact those around me and most importantly, my daughters. Knowing I can't stop her sends me into a panic. Blocking her, which of course makes sense, will not stop her from contacting others. That is the problem. At least if she isn't blocked I can be ready in defense mode if she does more than just threaten. This is no way to live!

I understand that California has strict laws against text harassment and I am wondering how to proceed with some type of legal action against her. Without a serious legal response of some sort from me, she will not stop and that is why I need to press charges in some way. I feel like this is emotional and psychological abuse because she knows how these texts will affect me, and yet continues to send them. I should not have to live in fear of this woman.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Hit by a Driver Under the Influence

My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of: Ky

Last year, I was rear ended by a driver who was under the influence of drugs. He was arrested and taken to the local hospital where he refused a blood test and was then sent to jail.

I was at a red light when he hit me, going approximately 50mph. I hit the car in front of me, they hit the car in front of them. It totaled my car.

At the time, I got an instant pain in my stomach and upper back. I went to the ER, they did X-ray and CT scans, but the only thing they found was soft tissue damage to upper back.

I started hurting in my upper back for weeks. I saw my GP who referred me to PT. At this time, I contacted a lawyer at the advice of friends.

I went to PT 1-2 times a week from Jan until Aug (I didn't go one month because of a medical insurance issue). He released me since the pain finally started to subside. It still hurts time to time though. I've had to get regular massages since then too. I also got an MRI per the physical therapists recommendation, which came back normal. I don't understand how things are showing normal when I hurt.

My lawyer has kept me out of the loop on most things. When I call, he doesn't answer. When I do talk to him, he says he's waiting on all of my medical records. I've asked him one time how much compensation I should receive and he said that's unknown right now.

I have about 32k in medical bills (X-ray, CT, doctor visits, PT for 6 months). How much should I roughly ask for?

Title Loan Taken Out on a Stolen Title

My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Ohio

I entered into an agreement with a "friend" of mine for the sale of my car. The agreement was for them to make agreed upon payments for the car and while making payments they were allowed to use the car but the title was to remain in my possession until the car was paid off.

At some point they stole the title from my house and somehow took out a title loan on the car. They must have forged a bill of sale and whatever other documents they needed to transfer the title from my name into theirs.

The car is still in my possession.

Is there a way for me to get the title transferred back into my name and get the lien removed from my title. If so, what steps need to be taken to begin this process?

Other Injuries: Pedestrian Hit by Car

My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of: Virginia

Pedestrian is walking with traffic on a raining night after 7 p.m. Pedestrian is walking right on top of white line on edge of pavement. More to road than to shoulder (right foot on top of white line). There is no sidewalk, but there is a 7 foot grassy shoulder. The pedestrian is wearing dark (blue jeans) pants and a dark red hoodie. No reflective gear. Traffic speed is ~ 45 and speed limit is same. Cars are traveling in opposite direction removing option of serving. One car narrowly misses pedestrian and when second car sees him, has less than a second to stop, serve, etc. Second vehicle hits pedestrian with mirror. Mirror smashes into pieces, Driver stops and finds pedestrian in good shape. He claims he feels fine, doesn't want police called, shows his arm and moves in every which direction. Bare arm shows no scratch, bump, bruise, nothing. Police are called (by driver). Report filed, no charges on either party given.

If a claim is filed, is driver at fault? Is Pedestrian at fault? Is it equal fault?

Discrimination: Lost Hours to Teenagers

My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: MARYLAND

Hello All,

I am hoping someone can give me some feedback about this situation. It looks to me from things I have read, that I can make a valid official complaint. I would rather not have to file a complaint, but the management is being unreasonable with what now appears to be a pattern. I let it go last time, but I can't keep losing my work hours and income to teenagers.

I am 55 years old. I have worked at this job for 5 years, 3 days a week (now reduced to only 2). It is a part-time job at a government-owned recreational sports facility. Only one other person in my specific position has been there longer than I have, and he is also the only other person in the position who is over the age of 20 yo. In all positions combined for the entire facility, only 2 of them are older than I am, and they are retirees have been there for decades, one in a position that can't be done by teenagers, and the other in a position that doesn't involve physical activity. Sometime about a year or so ago, there was a woman in my age group and position who suddenly disappeared (rumor says was fired), who had been there longer than I, and the year before that, a woman in my age group was suddenly gone (rumored to be fired) who had been there for many years (she was in a different position, but still one dominated by young people). I am making a point of them, because management only rarely fires anyone, because having the kids there means bad employees will usually just leave on their own for school or other activities without any fuss (which is a point to the management's benefit of having only teenagers, which I had not considered until right now). The number of people in my position averages about 10, but it fluctuates a lot (between 5 and 15) with an exceedingly high turnover rate and kids who are on college breaks who only work twice a year. All of my reviews have been excellent, full of nothing but praise. I have never been written up for anything. I have qualifications to do certain tasks that none of the others currently employed in my position have the experience or formal training qualifications to do. Part of the job involves supervising customers during recreational sports sessions, so it is a very physical job. Part of the time the job entails helping customers with equipment, there is also cleanup to do at the end of the day, and then there are two assignments that no one currently in my position is qualified to do except for me (one of them the teenagers could learn but there is no time for them to train or practice, and the other one requires experience and investment into formal training).

This week, for the second time in 6 months, I discovered that one of my shifts is being given to a teenager. This time it is a teenager who has only been there a few months, who is so inexperienced that she has had to use rental equipment to do her job because she was hired to do a sport activity she had no experience doing. She has not had the training or experience to do the task for which she could be trained in-house but has not been, and she absolutely is completely unqualified to do the assignment I have been doing which is the provision of a government-mandated service (there was a big lawsuit). The last time my hours were cut, they were divided between two teenagers, one who was only on a break from college, and the other who did not even want the hours (she and I both, at the direction of the manager, signed a letter to get him to change the schedule, but then he still refused to change the schedule). When the college kid left, I got back half of the hours, but was never given back the hours the girl had, and those went to a different newly hired teenager instead of back to me.

The managers claimed both the last time and this time, that the schedule was changed due to budget issues. But they did not reduce hours on the shifts, just replaced me so that teenagers could have those hours. Both times, they had just added to the schedule college kids who were just on breaks, which meant less hours for me. In spite of the present claim of budget issues, over the last two months, several teenagers were hired for the position, and there are job openings advertisements for the position on both the facility website and the over-seeing government agency headquarters main website, with a closing date for February of 2018. The managers claim that the teenagers' hours were reduced, and yet the majority of them have more hours than I do. The managers do not even care that, by removing me from the shift they just gave to an unqualified teenager, they are denying mandated services to an individual who had to go through official channels to get those services.

The last time this happened, I could not do anything about it. There was no previous incident to establish a pattern (as there is now), and I did not know about age discrimination laws (which I spent the last couple of days researching). I have already lost income because of the hours being taken from me the last time in favor of teenagers, and now I will lose even more income to a recently hired inexperienced teenager. I asked management to re-consider, and explained why I believe it would benefit them more to have me filling those hours, but they still refuse to put me back in those hours.

I imagine that some of the regular customers and some of the coaches will be unhappy about the change as well, because they often complain when I am not the one doing the part of the job which involves supervising the sports activity (it is a dangerous sport even when properly supervised). I think when they learn that I will no longer be working those hours, they may complain to management even if I don't tell them anything. One of them is actually a lawyer who management sometimes makes changes for to avoid having him complain above their heads (which he has done multiple times over decades of using the facility). One of the coaches is always getting age-related comments made about her by the teenagers who work there; she often asks me if I am working and tells me she is glad when it is me instead of the kids (she complains about them a lot for not adequately enforcing safety rules, since most of them ignore a lot of unsafe situations). I think there is some support for me from these people even if I don't personally mention my problem to them.

I really love working at this place, and I have good relationships with co-workers, customers, and the coaches. I enjoy working with the teenagers because they have so much energy; it is not their fault that management makes changes to the schedules in their favor (my FT career and education have included working with adolescents in the mental health field). I have no intention of leaving the job regardless of getting the hours back. However, if I am still going to be replaced by an inexperienced teenager who is unqualified for all of my duties, then it needs to be for a "reasonable factor other than age" that is fair and logical enough to cause me to lose income without causing me to believe that the cut was an act of discrimination.

I'm trying really hard to not make any further comment to management. The last thing I said, in an e-mail, was that I was missing needed to do research of the entire over-seeing organization before drawing any conclusions about the practice of favoring of inexperienced teenagers over mature, experienced staff. I did not use the term discrimination, or mention anything legal or threaten to make complaints or to go over anyone's head.

Please provide constructive comments, feedback, or information about this situation. Let me know if I am missing something, play devil's advocate if you feel like it will help me think things through in a more objective way.

Thank you.

Debt Collectors: Got a Letter from a Debt Collector Today Addressed to Someone That Does Not Live Here

My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: Nebraska

Got a letter from a collection agency today (actually 2 letters) addressed to our daughter-in-law for medical bills related to child birth, 7 months ago. We are estranged from our son and daughter-in-law, strangely enough, due to money issues. Our son currently owes us over $16 K.

My question is how do you think our address got tied with our daughter-in-laws name? We have only lived her a few months and we have had no contact with them since early June. We have received no other bills or collections or anything with their names on it and since they have never even been to our new home I found it strange. You would think the same address the hospital had been using to bill them ( I assume they have been being billed monthly at THEIR address) would be the same address the collection company would be using?

Now, I'm not angry or upset about this, just curious how we got tied together. Have had several debt collectors over the years phone about about bills not related to us, recently one regarding late my father-in-laws estate. I understand the game, they call, get you hyped up so you reach out to the dead beat relative or neighbor and this is suppose to shame them into paying. Probably a good tactic but then why not in this case? Possibly they are using our address for something, maybe credit applications?

I am calling the collection company on Tuesday and look into and see if I can help them with current addresses and phone numbers :) I hope they stick it to my deadbeat son and his wife, maybe learn them a lesson.

The LA County Assessor office says the system is 6-9 months behind in assigning claims to an auditor, and my claim hasn't been assigned yet. I've already had to pay a 1st installment, and now I'm waiting for my claim to be approved. I want to list and sell the property. Does a pending tax dispute encumber a real property sale in L.A. County? Thanks.

Is Drinking Antique Coca-Cola Legal

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Georgia

Apparently, Coca Cola from the early 1900s contains cocaine. If one were to drink coke with the old recipe and get high off of it, would this be illegal or legal? Because the item would have been legally purchased. This is just something that I have wondered about, but I never really found an answer to it. I don't have it and am not thinking of getting it as I'm not into either drugs or antiques...... but it's just a hypothetical that I have sometimes wondered about. My friend thinks it would be legal because it is a legally available item.

Liens: I Bought a Vehicle with Forged Signature on the Lien

My question involves vehicle registration or title in the state of: Michigan

I bought a vehicle for $1500. It values around $5000. This car had a bad engine that I planned to replace. The person I bought it from operated a small towing company from his home. He gave me the title. I noticed the lien box was signed, but had no stamp or letter with it. He gave me a long story on how the bank came out for the car but saw it’s current condition & offered a payoff amount which he paid then, and they signed then which is why there was no stamp or letter. His name did not match the title so it looks like he flipped the title. The next day I bought a new engine for the car & took it to the repair shop to be fixed. To be safe I called the bank to make sure it was clear.... well it’s not. They wouldn’t give me an amount because I’m not the account holder. I didn’t get a bill of sale. I’ve tried contacting the seller. At first he said he has the proof that it’s paid & would get back with me ASAP. Well that was several weeks ago. I’ve called and text. I only got 1 text back & it said it was his son & he’d try to figure it out for me. The shop is hounding me because I’ve stopped all work to the car. At this point, I’m about $2500 into the car. I have Facebook screenshots (which is how I found the car) from our conversations before I bought the car. Trying to figure out what to do next? Contact the police? Do I have a case in small claims? Thanks!

Unemployment Benefits: Winter Layoffs

My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Pennsylvania

I am a small company in south eastern Pa. I have been trying to get a hold of the PA UC office for a week or so now. Nothing but a busy signal.
Anyway I would like to find out if I can estimate the amount I would have to pay if I was to put some of my guys on UC during the winter months.

I have a guy to makes $25/hr full time.
I have another guy who makes $15/hr full time.

My father would rather keep the guys doing stuff around the shop (just so they don't have to collect UC), But I don't know if that really makes good business. I don't know much about this so any bit will help.

Court Plead Guilty for Me Without My Permission

I was booked into jail for a traffic warrant. My uncle posted bail. I set up a court appointment and received an email from the court confirming the date and time. When I showed up to court they were confused as to why I was there. The judge told me they had already entered a guilty plea for me, I did not consent to this, and refused to issue my bail money back saying it would be used to pay my fines. It is my understanding that the court cannot plead guilty for you?

What's Considered Active Appreciation when Stock Trading with Separate Property Funds

My question involves a marriage in the state of: California

I own stock from a company acquired prior to marriage. No pre-nup. Considering selling my stock now and looking to buy other stocks and possibly day trade them.

I understand the definitions of active and passive appreciation, but as it relates to stocks it seems to be grey and open to interpretation. Where "market forces" determine if active or passive. I guess my question is at what point is it "market forces"? Generally it's always market forces. If I buy and hold for a year does that make it passive appreciation? What if I trade 100 times (buy stock and sell stock) a year does the appreciation remain passive? Is it 50 times per year? Or 10?

Deed updated 16 years ago as follows

From
Widow's name

to

Widow's name, for life; and two children, remainder man (using generic terms to protect identity)


witness that in consideration of $1.00 grantees in hand paid, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged; the grantor does herby grant and convey to the said grantees their heirs and assigns.

(Then it goes into the details about the land and property. )

Subject to all exception, reservations and conditions as are contained in former deeds in line of title.
This deed is a conveyance between parent and children.

(Gives the parcel identifiers)

And the said grantor will warrant specially the property hereby conveyed.

Then the grantors signature was witnessed by attorney.
and notarized, and notarized attorney signature, etc

My question is on inheritance tax.
The deceased did not owe any debts, she was in a nursing home last few years until her passing.
Had no existing liens or debts as there was no mortgage.
Had no other money or interests, was only living off social security which was going to the nursing home (all but the allowed small amount monthly).

If filing the inheritance tax (there is no estate and no probate from what I was told due to her not owning anything and having no money upon passing), should the total inheritance tax due by both remainder man be based on the total value of the property? or 1/3rd which was the life tenants portion?

I believe it would be on the total value (going on assessed value vs appraised value).

Thank you in advance.

Banking: Wire Transfer Problem

My question involves personal finance in the State of: Florida.

A bank in Florida was to send a wire transfer internationally, but the sending account holder made a mistake on the IBAN. I checked the IBAN which was used online and it is not valid, but supposedly the transaction was neither rejected nor returned. I do not understand how this is even possible when the IBAN was not even valid. Can anyone advise about this or where the funds may be? Both sending bank and the bank which was supposed to receive the transfer are further investigating. Thank you for your time and expertise.

Establishment: False and Exaggerated Claims on a Temporary Protective Order

My question involves restraining orders in the State of: Washington

I have a six-month lease with a former friend. Around three or so weeks ago, she and I mutually agreed to terminate the lease early. She wanted to issue me a 20 Day Notice to Vacate, but I reminded her that under a lease the tenant is the one who must issue the notice (which was confirmed by an attorney with whom she consulted); even so, I assured her of my intent to leave prior to our lease term. A week later, I receive a temporary protection order, alleging that I physically assaulted her and that she fears for her life. She also is trying to use my mental disorder against me by painting me as mentally unstable and violent (I have PTSD and Borderline Personality Disorder due to childhood trauma, as well as OCD). My medical records prove otherwise, so I'm honestly not too worried about this. After speaking with her regarding the my intent to move out prior to the lease end date (as the feeling was mutual), I no longer kept in communication with her. So in short, she is attempting to paint me as a criminal because she can't find a way to break the lease without me issuing it first.
I'm consulting with an attorney regarding this situation but I was wondering, if prior to going to my appointment if anyone has had any experiences with false and exaggerated allegations on a temporary protection order. Will I be able to sue her for defamation or slander, if the court decides not to grant her the protection order? I will be asking this to my attorney as well. I suppose I am not too worried about the outcome; if anything, I am livid with how she is trying to paint me as a criminal.

Any input is appreciated.

P.S. I have every intention of moving out as soon as I can, because of how neurotic this woman is.

Retail Fraud / Shoplifting: Telling Store Employees You Shoplifted for a Prank

Federal Student Aid and Claiming Single

Hi everyone, I’m not really smart when it comes to this stuff so I think I unintentionally committed fraud and I am freaking out.

Here’s the deal, I brought my husband to the United States about 7 years ago and he entered the country as my husband, we file taxes as married filing jointly, however, we have never legally gotten married. Neither me or my husband understand this stuff, I’m 25 years old and just now hearing that i need to be legally married to file taxes as married filing jointly. I honestly had no clue, neither me or my husband.
I know we don’t have a marriage certificate and I was told at the financial aid office that I put single on my fafsa unless I was married legally in the state of Washington so I have been putting single on my fafsa for the past two years. I was also told that as long as I am under 25, I file under my parents. We were also going through somethings and did separate for a while. However, we got back together and when I renewed my fafsa this year, I put married and put the date we got married on there. I’m not sure what is going to happen now. I’m extremely worried cause we never ever intended fraud, that would be a really stupid thing to do. I wouldn’t even need to. I don’t work and my husband only makes around $1000 a month. We have two children together.
He makes less then my parents do cause his English is really bad.

I worked so hard to make it to where I am. My goal is nursing school which I just submitted my application for and have a good chance of getting accepted.
I don’t know if I unintentionally committed fraud and what is going to happen. It’s been a couple of weeks and I haven’t heard back from financial aid. I am so incredibly stressed and worried. What should I say to financial aid? I don’t want to face fraud when that’s not my intention. Please please give me some reassurance. Thanks In advance.

Transfer of Title: New Jersey Resident Pennsylvania Dealer Avoiding Transfer of Title

My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Pennsylvania

Purchased a used 2014 vehicle on the 22nd of Dec. The dealer and I agreed I'd pay the taxes and they would handle the title and tags in NJ. I paid the full balance of 5300 and on the 28th someone from the dealer called me and said they needed my social security number to transfer the title. They told me NJ required it but, I told them I'm not comfortable giving them my SSN. I asked them to email me that form which I never received. I called the dealer today and completely got the run around, 20 minute hold times, disconnected a few times, said they transferred me but just put me on hold. (I'm in IT, I know when I'm on hold or transferred) Each person I asked for was unavailable and/ or they were busy. All they wanted was for me to leave a message or contact number.

I get it, I didn't leave with the title and that was pretty stupid. Purchase agreement and receipt was all I thought about. At this point, all I want to find out is how do I get the title legally? Can I just show proof of purchase to the PA DMV and request a duplicate? I start a new job on a military base and will need to have all my vehicle paperwork squared away to get a base decal.

Thank you in advance for any information that may be of help.

Defamation: Falsely Accused of Vandalism by Employers

My question involves defamation in the state of: Alabama.

I accidentally broke the key in the mode switch on the cash registar, I tried to fix it they fired me for vandalism also saying money was missing because I couldn't run my report, let me add I've never been short on money, we have cameras that they can check. I was called names, held against my will, my boss stood by the door and said I wasn't leaving till the money came up, there was no .money missing they couldn't tell me or show me how much was missing.

For an hour I was cussed out because they were gonna have to buy a new registar for 4400 they shut down for that day and said they have to close till Saturday because and that I had to pay also for the employees wages they were missing. Let me add I found a mode switch replacement that cost 35 dollars. They ask for thier key back, which I keep on another key chain in my car, they told me to leave my key and phone there so I would run, I had no reason to run, the owner came out to unlock my car with my key all the while calling me a piece of shit that he wasn't about to let me run.

After another 30 minutes of name calling on their part they told me to leave and never come back, they were calling the law to press charges for vandalism, as I'm leaving I'm called several more names, I do believe they were mad about buying a new registar, when in fact it could have been fixed and I would have paid for it. An hour later I get a call from a police officer taking my statement. What are my rights? I also want to add I was a good employee the 8 months I was there I never missed work nd filled in for other employees when ask. I have never been talk to so badly as they did.

Someone That Has Knowledge in Lemon Laws of Indiana

My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Indiana


My Grandma bought this 2005 Malibu from a local car dealership. She got the loan through her Credit Union. Anyways everything seemed clear, title was clean, carfax showed up clean. This was 2 years ago.

6 months ago, we find out from her insurance company that the car she bought was totaled in an accident and that the car should be totaled now. She asked them how can that be when nothing was reported, and they told her that some people don't report accidents and fix them themselves so that it won't show on the carfax or Title as Salvage.

She called up the dealer and he had no idea, and that he bought it from an auction. Her Credit Union refuses to give her a loan unless a dealer pretty much "eats" her car loan. No dealer is willing to pay her $2,500 loan when it's only worth $300.

Is there any laws that can help her get rid of the car AND her loan?

Please help!

Ownership Rights: Neighbor is Deliberately Messing Up Dirt Road to Make It Undriveable. Rights

My question involves personal property located in the State of: South Carolina

I live on a dirt road. There are 4 other homes on this road. The road is privately owned by the landowners which only includes one other family (my parents). The other 3 do not own the land they live on. Our neighbor whom we have to pass to get to our property is the only one on the road with a working tractor so he takes it upon himself to scrape the road whenever it gets bad. At one point he asked for people to chip in $ to help with maintaining his tractor. Myself & my parents agreed and we were paying him $50 per month each month. We did this for 3 months in a row. Then he decided he no longer wanted our money and wanted us to maintain the driveway. Unfortunately we do not have the money to buy a tractor so we have not been able to. He now takes his tractor and purposely messes up the road to make it unusable. My husband is not able to get his vehicle through it at all. And I only can bc I have 4WD. Again, this property is privately owned by the land owners which he is NOT. What rights do I have as far as destruction of private property? Or even harassment? We have ordered a camera and will be setting it up tomorrow to catch him in the act of messing up the road so that we have video proof. A big concern I have is that I have 4 young children. If there was any type of emergency, NO emergency vehicle would be able to get to us. This road is our only access point on/off our land.

Any help would be much appreciated!!!

Divorce: At What Point Can I Change Locks

My question involves a marriage in the state of: California

Hi and thanks in advance for any advice or comments. December 1st my wife of 7&1/2 years announced that she no longer wanted to be married. She requested a quick and civil parting. I've been in the house for 32 years and she stated that she wants nothing to do with "your house". Since we agreed on pretty much everything I used a highly recommended paralegal to get the paperwork started. Papers were drawn up, filed and she was served on the 6th. By the 8th we were working on our property declarations, etc. She doesn't even want to spend the money to file a response. We sent the rest of the paperwork off to the paralegal to draw up the agreement and it should be filed next week. So far, so good....

One day after making her announcement, she moved out to her mother's house. She has been out now for nearly a month and has filed a change of address with the post office. She texts me each morning to say either she is coming to get some of her stuff or that she can't make it. She is moving out a trunk-load at a time. It is becoming very difficult as it seems that she often times plans to come and then cancels at the last minute or says I will come after work. I am waiting around to see if she is coming or not. At this rate it is going to take 9 months for her to pick up her belongings. She is supposed to rent a U-Haul and hire a couple of guys to move furniture but when I ask her when she says "I want to move all of the small stuff first".

I guess my question is two-part: Can I change the lock on the front door to make sure she isn't there taking things when I am not there? Can I go out and rent a storage unit for two months, move all of her stuff and give her the key? I am doing my best to be cooperative and peaceful but I think she is intentionally taking advantage of my time.....

Sanctions: HOA Frivolous Litigation

My question involves court procedures for the state of: Idaho

I was sued by my HOA 3 years ago, for dues on a house I no longer lived in. I was foreclosed on, and wasn't aware I would be responsible. They never served me, and obtained a default judgment. When I contacted them, they chased their tail and lied to me (all of which I can prove) so that they could run up attorney's fees/costs. I filed to have the case thrown out, but in the end settled for an amount less than half of what they were trying to get me to pay. I only agreed to the settlement because my current husband and I were trying to buy a home and needed the judgment off my record immediately.

I paid the settlement in full - in fact, according to their ledger, I overpaid by $10.

Now, 2 years later, they are attempting to sue me again for more attorney's fees and even charging me $18 apiece for calls to my ex husband to verify his military status and another $90 to demand payment from him. They requested court records and audio files, which they are also trying to charge me for. They haven't placed a single phone call to me, and instead are trying to sue me for almost an additional $2,000.

The settlement agreement states that "this agreement constitutes a complete agreement of this matter. The parties agree that this agreement will be entered as a Stipulated Order." Since I fulfilled my end and paid per our agreement, how can they do this? What codes can I use to have them sanctioned? I have found ICAR 59, and also section 12-123, but I can't see anything about penalties beyond attorney's fees, which I can't afford. I have to file my response by next week, and it's going to cost me $136 to respond.

Any advice is appreciated.

Sale and Deficiency: Car Was Sold to Me, Vehicle Suffered Massive Failure After Just 2 Months

My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Maine

I purchased a vehicle from a used car dealer, taking a loan with my credit union to do so after my previous vehicle literally fell to pieces while in motion (passenger front hub assembly completely sheared off due to a rust issue).

The dealer assured me the vehicle had been repaired, and fully restored from any damages, and had been inspected by their 'neighbor' who runs an autobody shop. Being young and stupid, i relied on a basic vehicle title search, saw it had not been listed as a total loss, and thought it was a good buy (Toyota Sienna, 2008, no rust!).

I have GAP insurance, so if the vehicle winds up totaled out, i wont have the loan hanging over my head.

My concern lies in that this dealer sold a vehicle they knew was faulty.

Besides the massive electrical failure that occurred last night, which rendered the vehicle immobile, made the headlights not work, the dash flip out (idiot lights were having seizures) the rotors are rusted beyond belief, the tie rods are in horrible shape, and according to the tow truck driver, this thing couldn't have accumulated this damage in just 2 months, and these are all inspect-able parts that would have been needed to be replaced.

I need to know if i have a liability claim against this dealer for knowingly selling me and my family (children in the house under 15) a vehicle that could have potentially lost power steering and brakes while going down a highway (thankfully i was in a walmart parking lot when it died, and i was able to coast to a stop)

Traffic Accidents: Who is at Fault in This Scenario

My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of: LA

I had a very close call the other day, who would be at fault here in this scenario:

It is dark outside...I am about to turn right at a red light, I have my blinker on, I stop. It's a normally busy street, but there's no car coming. I turn right at the light and as I just almost complete the turn, I hit a pedestrian crossing the road. There was no cross walk and no signs. I was not looking for someone crossing the street, I was unable to see him until the last minute because it is night time.

This exact scenario happened to me the other day, only I was able to swerve at the last second and I barely missed the pedestrian crossing the street. So I am just curious, if I did hit him, who would be at fault.

Would the pedestrian be at fault? Or would I have been at fault?

Accidentally Reported Car Stolen when Possibly Not

My question involves criminal law for the state of: California

I parked at one location to work the area(I am a business to business salesman). When I returned to it, my car was not there.

After reporting the car stolen, it was discovered a few blocks away. Everything seems intact, which leads me to believe that I may have been so stressed out about missing my sales goals that I forgot about moving my vehicle.

If this is indeed the case, did I just ruin my career and life over a simple mistake? I read that I may face jail time, fines and a misdemeanor. I take this to mean that my schooling is in jeapordy.

Thank you for any and all assistance in this matter. I’m really scared about what results may come if I did move the car, but was too stressed to remember.

Can a Leo Write a Ticket Based Solely on Video Evidence

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: ANY

I am sure this Q has been asked before, but I don't know the proper search terms to enter :/

I grew up under the impression that in order for a LEO to cite a motorist for a moving violation, he/she had to actually witness the infraction. Now I am hearing of cases where the LEO did not see the infraction first hand, but issued a summons after the fact, once video of the infraction was presented. I am however, not sure of the legitimacy of these claims.

So, OOC, can a LEO write a ticket based solely on video evidence?

Roommate Broke His Door and Doorframe

My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of:
Back around Thanksgiving my roommate threw a temper-tantrum which resulted in him putting a hole in the door and ripping wood out of part of his door frame. Initially I did not think this would really concern me as it is not my bedroom door/door frame, and I assumed he would deal with it accordingly. Just before heading to my parents house for holiday vacation, I asked him if he was going to fix it and he said "no." Since then, I've messaged him with advice on how to fix it anyways and he said he'd just leave the hole in the door and use wood glue to put back the ripped out pieces from the door frame. He also said he is not going to tell our landlord.

We are not under contract with our landlord, just an agreed upon rent and, more or less, a trust based system. Our landlord also lives in another city, and would never know unless someone told her. I explained that none of us want to rat him out, but if he ever moves out a new tenet could notice the damage and tell the landlord.

Has he put us the people who live there at risk for legal trouble and/or eviction? Is there a way to avoid legal repercussion if he still decides not to properly have the door repaired?

Sex Offender Registration: How to Find a State Where You Don't Have to Register as a Sex Offender

Hi there. First, a quick rundown. I fought against a "possession of child pornography" case in MO for around two years before taking a plea bargain. I was given an SIS and completed the probationary period successfully, resulting in the charges being dropped. However, under Missouri law, taking a plea bargain (regardless of final outcome), results in a lifetime registration with no hope of ever petitioning for removal. So, despite thankfully not having a criminal record, I will always have to register which has resulted in countless rejected jobs and homes for the past 9 years. I've exhausted most all of my options within my state and am at wits end and am desperate to get some control over my life back.

So, at this point, I'm fed up with the stress and anxiety and am looking to move to a different state. My understanding is that, if you move to a state where your case would not have resulted in registration, that you would not have to register there (and if you move to a state that DOES require it, you'd have to register again). Are there states where I could move where this would be the case for me? If so, what are they? I can't seem to find any information on this after nearly a month of endless searching.

I can't even put into words how much I would appreciate any and all help.

Thanks

Runaways: Running Away From Home When You're Almost Eighteen

My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Ohio

My question pertains more to my girlfriend than to me, I’ll add details to get an accurate answer but I don’t know what is and isn’t relevant in deals like these. The basic plot here is that I am 18, my girlfriend turns 18 in less than 3 months, we’ve been together for almost a year now, we both have jobs, make decent money for our area, and are not in highschool, (she is finishing up an online schooling but is nearly done with it) and have been accepted into college.

Our main problem at this point is her family, they don’t want her to leave. They don’t like the idea of her moving out, going to college, anything like that. They’re extremely old fashioned, not to mention none of them attempted to go to college themselves, they see it as a waste of time and want her to get a factory job. This becomes a problem when they interfere with her trying to get things done, doing small little sabotages here and there like throwing away college letters or trying to get her in legal trouble claiming she’s “a deliquent” a few months back, even calling the police to try and scare the idea out of her head. The cops made a bunch of threats with the idea that she was the normal teenage delinquent threatening to run away from home, and not understanding the full scenario in play here.

The main influencers here are her elderly grandmother who is also her guardian and her uncle. That’s the basics of the scenario here, now out problem is we want to just move out now. College is getting closer and they’re getting harder and harder on her, throwing fits and screaming at her, just making her life much harder than it has to be, so we want to move out as soon as we can, but as I mentioned we still have 3 months before she turns 18. We have the option to both live with her biological mother, who lost custody of her at a young age but now has a home and is willing to help us, but as far as I know she has little to no legal power due to her not having custody.

My biggest question is, if we just left within the next few weeks, would the police or any court even bother with any report filed by her family since she’s so close to being a legal adult? This thread isn’t about running away for love or any teenage angst scenario like many I’ve seen on here, it’s just the daily stress and constant fighting in her house is effecting her a lot recently and she doesn’t want to go through it any longer than she has to. 3 months isn’t that long, but to go through screaming matches every day for 3 months makes it seem like an eternity. Also could her mother or even myself get into any trouble for being the ones “taking her away” from them?

I won’t try and pretend to be a legal expert, I advised her from doing anything drastic yet but she’s been anxious to get out of there for a while now and thinks since she’ll be with her mom that she won’t be in as much legal trouble. Any words of advice?

Valuation of Assets: Valuation and Distribution of Non-Monetary Personal Assets in Probate

My question involves estate proceedings in the state of: California.

My father is deceased and I am currently designated as executor-to-be of my elderly mother's estate. She currently resides in California. Her will basically specifies that her estate is to be divided equally amongst her 3 children. All of her monetary assets are in pay-on-death accounts that will also divide the proceeds equally between her 3 children.

The value of her estate for probate purposes is planned to be less than $150,000 in order to avoid probate. My understanding is that (in California) if the value of the estate is less than $150,000 probate is not required. So, essentially, her estate will consist entirely of tangible, non-monetary property. How will we value these tangible items for purposes of estate valuation in regard to probate?

We are basically talking about her personal possessions which have no value of consequence. Since there will be no liquid assets in her estate how would any costs of administering the estate (funeral expenses, asset appraisal, etc.) be funded? Would it make sense to create a $15,000 non-pod account in her name only (that would then be part of the estate) to fund estate administration expenses? Could those funds be used in that manner before the estate is settled?

How are tangible assets in an estate divided "equally", as stipulated in her will? Will we have to sell/monetize everything in order to determine the value of all assets in order to "distribute equally"? As executor, in order to avoid possible future disputes, will I need a formal, legal agreement as to who gets individual items?

Part of her estate will consist of a large number (3 or 4 canvas bags full) of coins that my father accumulated in his travels. Any suggestions on how to "equally" divide these? I can see possibly appraising jewelry and the like but hundreds of coins that have been randomly accumulated over the years? Also, how should an estimate of their value be determined for purposes of estate valuation? If we cannot agree on how to distribute the tangible items in her estate, does that mean that we would have to go to probate?

Since there will be no monetary assets how will court and legal costs be paid? Would the judge typically mandate each beneficiary to pay an equal share of the costs? And finally, how is the estate legally considered "settled"?

Undisclosed Shower Pan Leak

My question involves real estate located in the State of: Texas

We purchased a used home in August 2017. The home was built in 2002 and had one owner, who GC’d the building of the home himself.

First, when Hurricane Harvey hit, we discovered the balcony door was leaking. All indications were that it had been leaking for years. To repair we had to replace plywood around the door because it had been rotted out. The seller failed to disclose this leak.

Second (and this is the big one), we knew there was a power issue in the master bath before we bought the home. We had it diagnosed and determined that it was the whirlpool tub pump that was throwing the breaker. For this repair and a million others, we requested credit at closing (the seller had a previous inspection done and claimed everything was fixed, yet our inspection report was very similar to the first one, so his honesty was definitely an issue).

We opened up underneath the tub in October 2017 and discovered that the shower pan had been leaking into the area below the tub. There is black mold and wood rot. One plumber came out and said shower pan leak, and it had been leaking for a long time. The insurance company sent out another plumber, and during his inspection he determined no shower pan/liner had been installed at all. He also indicated that there was new wood installed under the tub, newer than the original wood, and since no liner was ever installed the leak started day one so most likely the wood is newer than the leak.

First, insurance rejected the claim due to a “prior condition.” My question on this is, if we didn’t know it existed, how can they not help us? Is this illegal or just bad business? If we brought suit against them would we win?

Second, the new wood under the tub indicates that the seller KNEW about the leaking shower pan and did not disclose. Is there a way to prove the age of the leak and the age of the new wood? If so I would like to go after the seller for not disclosing the leak. All indications are $23k-$26k to repair.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Friend Pays Bill

Just a question. A friend of mine and my husband saw that I made a post on social media saying our phones would be shut off since we could not afford to pay it. A few minutes later my friend at the time texts me asking how much our bill was, it was $187. She told me she would pay it and she did. After that I told her I would pay her back but she told me not to worry about it and that she was not worried about it. 6 months later, they send me a text asking when I could pay back the money and starts demanding I pay it back. So confused I ask her, "you said you werent worried about money?" She responds, "well now my husband and I need it back." I proceeded to tell her I cant afford to pay her because I litterally have have no money what so ever by the time I pay all of my bills. Now it has been 8 months and her husband has been messaging me telling me he would take me to small claims court over this matter. Would I have to pay this back? Out of good faith I want to pay it back I just cant do it at this time due to all of my bills and trying to keep food on the table. This is in California.

• Can company B file a fresh extension and If my current RFE results in as a denial, will that extension will save me from going back to home country,?
• Will it be a visa extension based on approved I140 or visa transfer?

North Carolina Self Storage Laws

I have been renting from a storage place for over two years. It has been a complete nightmare.

I have been in arrears which I take full responsibility for. My concern's are, I am being taken advantage of now. The District manager stated that I do not have insurance because of being in arrears. Yet, I am still being billed for it. Nobody notified me of this. I'm curious where the money is going, if not paying my insurance.

I also had a verbal agreement with the previous DM that when I got caught up they would wave the late fees. It was also documented to my account. Now I am getting the run around.

Any advice, where I can find the updated laws and which laws to look for, would be greatly appreciated.

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Wisconsin.

Is it illegal to “talk dirty” to a minor in Wisconsin? Had been talking to a girl, who claimed to be 19. Turns out she was only 17. No pictures had been sent from either of us, but we did talk about sex. Is that a crime?

Traffic Accidents: Is It Possible And/or Likely to Successfully Sue for Injuries After First Settlement

My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of: Pennsylvania. I was in a motor vehicle accident on August 1st of this year (2016) and have since hired a personal injury lawyer who filed a claim against the insurance companies of both vehicle owners involved and have already received a settlement based on the insurance cap of both companies. I have been told that my injuries are likely worth more than the amount of money I have received but that based on the amount of money these two people have, taking the case to court would not be wise. I just wanted to get a second opinion/more advice.

My injuries were a concussion and nine broken bones in arm, several in knee/leg and two surgeries. I am now having back problems that my doctor thinks are related to the recent accident. I'd be happy to provide any further information.

North Carolina Shoplifting -

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Shoplifting in Wake County, NC.

I am a homemaker and 46 years of age woman. No previous criminal record of any kind. Yesterday I went shopping with my husband to Belk, while in the store he bought me a necklace for $15, while he was paying I stole a matching ring for a similar price. LP apprehended me on the way out.

There they questioned me in an office, and I apologized that I had taken the ring. Later the Mall police came and asked if I had a gun in my purse. I said no and he said that he had to look through my purse. Inside they found a another ring and a pair of earnings, which I had bought from a different store and paid for a years ago. LP went out to the store floor and came back with a bunch of empty boxes and said that the ring and earnings belonged to them. They wrote a citation for 2 rings and a pair a earnings for $120 and said that I stole them. They made me sign a form, took my picture and said that I can never visit Belk for 5 years or the mall for 1 year or they will arrest me.

What are my options and how can I not get a criminal record. I heard of a diversion program, can I go and enroll in this. Should I goto to the local DA's office to see what my options are.

Thank You

Service and Repair: Car Was Repaired Without Permisson

My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Arkansas or Louisiana. I live in Arkansas, but the car was repaired in Louisiana.

The check engine light came on in my vehicle and it is still under extended warranty so I called the dealership that I bought the vehicle from and the service department told me that they didn't have the computer that was needed to "read my car" and gave me the phone number to the nearest dealership to call. I took my car and was told that the thermostat, oil pump and air bags needed replaced. I just assumed that my deductible would cover everything because I was never told different. They called me last week and said that car was ready to be picked up and the amount due was $460. She said that my warranty didn't cover any nuts, screws or bolts. Also there was a hose that wasn't covered. What do I do???

Probate Court Procedure: Request Partition of an Undivided Interest

My question involves estate proceedings in the state of Texas under a Probate Dependent Administration.

I am a pro se heir of an undivided interest to an 75 acres tract, together with other heirs.

I want to exercise my legal right to request the partition of my undivided interest on the whole tract (involving five other owners except the heirs who have also undivided interests) under UPHPA Act (effective from September 1st 2017 as Texas Property Code chapter 23A) which I understand that will not be settled by - but will be activated through - the Probate Court, without the need of filing a petition for an independent partition action.

The question: Can I request the partition from the probate Court without having a lawyer by just an email or registered letter ?

Thank you in advance

Parking and Access: Car Towed at Apartment Complex

My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Texas

I live in a private apartment and my vehicle was towed last night because I had parked in a parking spot that is not set as reserved but is now saying it is. There are a total of 4 spots with one being occupied by a broken down vehicle and the other by a motorcycle that is never used. The apartment manager knows it is my vehicle, but is using retaliation and had it towed. He also has parked his vehicle back there several times and there was a winniebago that was also parked on the side and was being occupied. I have spoken with the owner and she is trying her best, but the manager (her son) states that I can only talk with him and not herself. I also failed to mention that the manager pulled a gun on me, because he felt threatened. However, the police felt that he is emotionally inept and should not be in this line of work. I am considering filing harasment charges and also cease charges. I just want to live in a peaceful environment.

Disability Benefits: SSA is Framing Me for Fraud. How Do I Prove My Innocence

I have had PTSD for a long time now. It was made worse by the authorities God established over me taking my daughter from me and giving her to my rapist to raise. My rapist is a government employee and they worked to give my rapist the child he created in me.

Now years later the government is claiming I faked PTSD and that I merely have "poor impulse control" (which doesn't describe me at all). They sent people to follow me around and I knew I was being followed around because I have PTSD which involves hypervigilance. I didn't know who was following me and people said I was just being paranoid that why would anyone follow you around. Then I was accosted by attorney general's office.

Couple months ago I ended up with copy of fraud report and they deliberately deleted and altered medical records to make it look like I didn't have any health problems. For example, they took a paragraph from the urologist where I hadn't seen him for a couple years due to insurance mess ups (I was seeing a quack urologist during those two years instead and he messed me up and made me worse) and took out where the urologist says why I hadn't seen him for those two years and took out where he explained why and about my going to see someone else during those two years. They took out where my doctor was talking about my having problems. So, they submitted it into the fraud report that I had not seen him in two years and made it look like I had nothing wrong with me. It was obvious that it was deliberate. It reminded me of when CPS twisted things to justify giving my rapist custody of my daughter and stripping me of any right to even talk to her just so their government buddy could get custody of her.

They wrote up lies and exaggerations like claiming I went south for a bit of warm air when I was homeless and drove south during bad winter 2016 to try and keep from freezing to death with my pets (shelters wouldn't allow me to have my pets with me). They twisted what to me was a life and death situation and made it sound like I went on vacation. They claimed my food stamps were discontinued and left an innuendo that I did something bad to get them cut off when I was still receiving food stamps at the time. They kept harping on my leg/ankle injury and how I didn't use ambulatory devices and inferring that made me a fraud when I didn't ever say I used devices in first place and I had only mentioned the injury to describe how bad my dizzy spells are because I fall and sustain injury (plus the injury happened months prior to their following me around anyway). They went on about how they saw me talking on a cell phone in public couple of times with no signs of anxiety (I was upset at time talking to someone because I was being followed and being told I was just being paranoid). The whole ten page fraud report was filled with things like that with very little truth.

The past couple of months since I obtained a copy of this report I have been, when I haven't been having major sickness, trying to find ways to discredit what was said about me. I even went to the food stamp office where I was living when the report was done and told them what was going on and they provided me with documentation to show I never lost my food stamps. I've been going through everything like that trying to discredit the report with actual evidence so that it wouldn't be just my word against theirs. The stress has taken its toll though and my therapist even had my medication doubled.

The mental evaluation they had done on me showed that I hadn't got better. They didn't like that, so they paid someone else who never even saw me to claim I have "poor impulse control" instead of PTSD. I've been seeing therapists off and on since I was a child and not one ever said I had poor impulse control. I was criticized before for being obsessive in analyzing things, even small things, before doing them. My family is extremely toxic/abusive though and I got severely punished for even the smallest of mistakes, so I get extremely anxious when I am faced with having to make decisions. Always afraid of making mistakes. I don't even have much of an impulsiveness to have to control.

My family had helped set it up for my rapist to get custody of my daughter. They are also behind the anonymous letter claiming I am a fraud that set off this investigation in the first place. And the lead investigator used to work for a government commission to go after child abusers, so my family's lies against me that caused me to lose my girl are on record as truth even though there was never any evidence since it wasn't true. I theorize that he saw what I was accused of and is angry I am still walking the streets. I printed out from internet a news report where he did this work in his past.

I grew up being constantly abused. My family allowed me to be raped by this older man for about a year before I was forced to marry him. I was still a child. This man continued to rape me and beat me on regular, random basis. I never knew when for sure, but it was frequent. How could I not have PTSD from the life I was forced to live. Then, after I got away from him, my family and the government would help him locate me and I kept having to move around because he kept showing up. My biggest regret is not leaving the family behind too, but people kept quoting scripture about forgiveness, etc. and I'd been raised in religious abuse too so I was really broke down. Reading Romans 13 and reflecting on what the authorities have done to me though make me realize that God isn't a loving being, either. I know I can't ever trust anyone. I obtained some proof of my father's criminal past. He tried to murder his first wife and child and didn't serve much time with a plea deal. I grew up around someone like that. He'd threaten to kill me and abuse me on frequent but random basis. And the rest of the family was abusive to me as well. I've been suicidal since I was a little girl and have been locked up in a hospital before. How could I fake all of this for all this time?

My family found out I was talking about what all they did and I think that's why they sent the letter. My father and his new wife specifically.

If I lose my appeal I am dead. I'm so messed up I've never been able to hold down a job. And I've tried very hard to hold down a job. I tried very hard to be normal. I've had hard time dealing with all this stress and I think about killing myself often. My therapist doesn't want me to kill myself though and just doubled my meds.

Bought Truck from Aaa, Trying to Return Due to Missing Parts and Title Issues

My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Washington King County.

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, if not please move to the correct forum.

I bought a used service truck from AAA Washington. I was told it wouldn't start because the batteries were dead. After I took delivery of the truck I find an electronic control module missing off the truck. I contact them and find out they sold it to someone else who gave it back and they apparently stole the part off of it. AAA basically just told me tough shit.

So when I finally got the title for it, it was reportedly lost for awhile, turns out it's in the person's name they originally sold out to. So before I spent money on it I wanted to make sure there were no title transfer issues. Not receiving a bill of sale, as I suspected, I could not transfer title until I could show bills of sale from the name on the title to AAA to me. I let AAA know what I needed and gave them two weeks. I explained exactly what I needed twice and they never provided it so I towed the truck back to their fleet shop and gave the title and keys to someone at the front desk. I told them I would give them two weeks to issue a refund.

I have gotten zero responses from them since and it's been nearly a month. So I'm going to file a small claim against them. I paid $2,500 for the truck. But I have time and money into hauling the truck home and to their shop. I'm also going to have to take time off work to fight this in court.

So my question is can I include costs for my time and fuel to haul the truck and lost wages for time off to go to court in the amount for damages? Or can I only claim the actual purchase price of the truck?

There were a pile of receipts on the desk, what were they there for. We’re they tracking prior transactions I’ve made? Are they looking back at other days I was there to see if they can find something against me. I’ve never ever have done this and scared to see what’s going to happen next.

Hours: Legal Overtime Wage Question in Ohio

My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Ohio

I was hired at $11.90 per hour. At first I was working 8-10 hour shifts. All was correct with wages and OT. Then we started 12 hour shifts and were told it would be a flat rate of $125.00 per day. This is how my pay stub looks now.

Bi-weekly rate Hour/Unit Current Bi-weekly rate Hour/Unit Current
Hourly $10.20 64 $652.80 Hourly $11.90 80 $952.00
Overtime $15.30 32 $489.60 Overtime $17.85 16 $285.60
Total 96 $1142.40 Total 96 $1237.60


$1237.60
-$1142.40
= $95.20

When I inquired about the method they said I make $11.90 an hour with no mention of my not getting compensated for my overtime. Is this legal and should I just accept the explanation?

Background Checks: Sealed Conviction Came Back on My Background Check

My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Colorado

In March 2009 I was convicted of Misdemeanor Stalking in Oregon. I was "stalking" an ex of mine on MySpace and it got out of control basically. I served two days of jail (which was community service done on back-to-back Saturday's with the county sheriff's office and wasn't ever physically confined in a cell) and completed 18-months of probation. Since then I've stayed out of trouble aside from a ticket after getting caught riding a train without fare in Portland.

In 2013 I had the record sealed.

That leads me to now... I moved to Colorado for personal reasons in November and began looking for work. I applied at a major grocery chain and was interviewed and hired the same day. I went into the back office to complete my background check and was told they'd call me as soon as it cleared. This was December 20. I was given a letter of conditional employment and sent home.

Today I get a letter in the mail from First Advantage Background Services Corp with the results of my background check. The sealed charge noted above is listed on the back as having been reported to the grocery chain.

I have't heard from the grocery chain yet so I don't know if they're going to rescind my employment offer over the charge. It's been almost 9 years...

The fact is that the charge is sealed and they shouldn't have seen it to begin with. I didn't lie on the application because A: it asks if I've ever been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor in the past seven years and B: legally I don't have to report it since it's sealed.

If they rescind my employment offer do I have any legal rights?

What should I do?
