Custody and Visitation Issues: Changing Visitation

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: indiana

my case was filed in indiana. i have a 6 year old daughter, i get her every other weekend and one day during the week. i would pick her up and her mother would pick up on return. Then mother decided she wanted to move to kentucky , approx 110 mile . I told her i didn't want daugher to leave indiana because i was worried about the hardship it would put me on financially and my relationship with daughter. mother promised me not to worry, she promised me nothing would change, i'd still see my daughter on her days and she would make sure to bring her to me and pick her up from me.

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

I am purchasing a very expensive (600K) RV in Colorado and I am a resident of Illinois. The RV will be transient, and will never enter Illinois. I am wondering if I am required to pay sales tax in Illinois. It will be a vehicle that never enters the state. I am researching Montana llc options bjtnu know that has some possible risk, but given how it won't enter the state, is wondering if it's a more appropriate route (Montana vs Illinois). Thanks

Modification of Custody: Custody Issue W/ a Convicted Felon W/ Mother of Child

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: North Carolina

I will try and keep this brief as possible I don't even know where to begin it's so mind boggling. I have a 10 year old daughter from a 10 year marriage ex is a licensed pediatric RN cheated while we were married multiple times now she's with some guy who has 22 felony convictions primarily B&E/Larceny/Grand Theft Auto stuff Habitual Felon DUI in NC, Habitual Traffic Offender in Florida, 11 DWLR's multiple stints in rehab several stints in county jails most recently 1.5 years in a correctional facility in NC got out in Jan 16 just so happened she was ready to leave 2 mos later. Guy was initially in a half way house program found out she was going to stay in the half way house w/ him on wknds I had my daughter she began transporting him out of his county to her residence in violation of his parole and DOC did nothing about it. Guy had no car so to beat that she gave him her car to drive knowing he had no license my custody agreement was made permanent in Oct last year in it specifically prohibited this individual from being in around my daughter communication banned telephonically verbally etc. and no overnights no cohabitation. As you can imagine all of this was quickly ignored and I have had to spend a fortune on PI's documenting contempt etc. We filed a contempt motion in February this case is still pending lawyers keep kicking it because of discovery issues etc. my daughter is now on her 2nd counselor. Daughter wants more time w/ me and wants nothing to do w/ the convict. Mother has formed an LLC w/ the Convict and gone into this illegal moving business illegal because it's not registered w/ the NC Utilities Commission. Mother has also went out and bought this convict 2 vehicles now to use knowing he has no license his license is permanently revoked. She sold it to me as him having problems with Alcohol come to find out he was a Heroin addict for many years and is now trying to sell her and the court that he is reformed and a changed man found Jesus whole 9 yards. Other problem I have with all of this is Mother and her BF have been shacking up in a nasty trailer park on wknds with a convicted drug trafficker schedule II principal. She has made my life a living hell the past year we go next week for a motion to force her into taking a hair follicle test I have already done mine she was supposed to but backed out and took a urine test instead. Both her and him took out numerous warrants on me last year AFTER the fact she came over and slept w/ me and would come over and try to befriend me etc go to pool and had extensive telephone contact etc. This has been brutal I want to know who has faced anything similar w/ Convicts proclaiming they are changed and what impacts it's had on their ability to obtain primary.

Thanks

Co-Ownership: How Do I Remove My Mom from Mobile Home We Purchased

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

We purchased a mobile home for my mom in a 55+ retirement community. We provided the down payment and we pay the monthly mortgage payment. She is only to pay the space rent and utilities. Now she is refusing to pay the space rent and if they don't receive it, they will evict her and take the mobile home. We will lose our down payment and the monthly payments we have been making.

We had to have her on the loan and the title because she is over 55 and someone over 55 has to be on there. We are not over 55.

Please advise.

Criminal Records: Record Correction Update

My question involves criminal records for the state of: CA

I made a post recently asking about how long it usually takes for DOJ to make a record update and correction once they've received court documents verifying a reduction under 17(b). I did get ahold of my attorney as I was advised and he told me that very rarely are you looking at anything past 30 days and thats in pretty extreme cases. Well, I'm into 6 months now and all I keep hearing from his office is how there could be a "complication" with the order or the case itself - Could someone out there elaborate on exactly what that's supposed to mean in plain english because the court order pretty much says what it says. I'm beginning to feel that the word "complicated" as it's being used here is just some kind of "buzzword" for there's something more to all this but I'm not telling you - like there's some sort of secrecy that surrounds it. Anytime I ask for clarification it just seems it gets ignored, so obviously yes, this does bother me on why all the vagueness. Can anybody help explain it that will make sense > Thanks in advance for your help.

Traffic Lights, Signs and Controls: Right of Way-Stop Signs Infraction Fight or Pay

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Utah.
I recently got a ticket for running a stop sign. I cannot remember as it was two weeks ago if I stopped to far behind the sign and got ticketed or it was a rolling stop, either way the amount of points this ticket will give me will take me over the limit for my driving points. Should I try to fight the ticket and hope the officer doesn't show up? Or is there any possible way that I can turn the ticket into something without points with a higher dollar cost? I am under 21 so the point amounts are ludicrous that they allow. Any help is appreciated.

Hearings and Trials: Speeding Ticket in Wisconsin - Puzzling Trial Outcome

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

I've fought a good fight, but I am a bit taken aback at what has transpired here and maybe someone can knock some sense into me. I made myself aware of the case law for Wisconsin (State v. Hanson being the kingpin, and two later cases State v. Kramer and Washington County v. Luedtke). I'm going to give the disclaimer that I am a technical person, and understand the workings of these systems incredibly well, maybe my downfall is that the uninformed judges and officers and prosecutors could give two shakes about details, even if I have tried to make them aware of their importance.

The standard is clear and convincing, the existing later case law has testimony from officers operating moving RADAR that testify to the input speed of the patrol car and the speedometer speed in exact figures. They also testify to the exact times of calibration. They range from 1-2 hours before the stop, and in both cases only minutes after the stop (immediately, for all intensive purposes). The present case in question had a calibration long before the stop but within reasonable proximity to established cases, but the post-stop calibration was around 10 times longer than any in the existing case law. The more important detail, in my opinion, was that the officer testified to improperly calibrating the device by striking the forks on a metal surface, in direct conflict with the operator's manual. I got him to recognize the manual and it was admitted into evidence. I read about the damage that can be caused and how minor damage affects the forks. He couldn't testify if the forks matched the unit. (In WI there is no need for independent calibration of the forks and unit, which is sad because these things really should be checked by someone independent to get the trust of the public).

Can anyone tell me why the judge took absolutely no objection to this gross lack of procedure? The manuals state it can cause inaccuracy/invalid calibration which I raised both in my closing arguments and questioned the officer about. The officer also couldn't testify in a clear way to his training and had no certificates on file with the department to prove it either.

The calibration timeframes required (that have sufficient value) in Hanson are very vague, to the point where I believe the only way to get clarity is an appeal. I can't see any judge(s), aside the supreme court, attempting to create precedent by clarifying an establisted standard, vague as it is. So I'm not terribly surprised that these arguments of mine were set aside.

What I would like to know is WHY the existing case law is so clear and concise (in my view) with specific details and why the present case requires no details at all. This was a trial de novo, and during the first trial the officer didn't even know what RADAR unit was being used when I questioned him about it!! There are no paper records or logs of anything, yet they stand even when questioned for more scrutiny. Am I misled by the existing cases - does clear and convincing evidence not require the standard of proof they are providing?

Finally, with the improperly performed calibration my argument is that it effectively wasn't done at all. Is the standard really this low where RADAR is effectively given judicial notice of blanket accuracy in Wisconsin even though the cases don't deliver it this way?

Or are the courts being self-serving or just ignorant of what is required because most people don't care about the law at this level? Or is this just how the system works and I need to appeal to get to someone who will say that makes no sense to uphold? Does anyone think I have a good case for appeal? I'm guessing at this point a lawyer might be useful.

I'd just like to understand if I have too high of expectations of scrutiny. Thanks so much for considering this long-winded set of questions.

If my boyfriend gets out of jail anytime soon, we are planning to get married. We had discussed this before and we have been planning it for a while now.

Contributing to the delinquency of a minor

My question involves criminal law for the state of: California. A few weeks ago I threw a party at my moms house, and when the cops came there were several people still in my moms house and 1 of them was 7 days away from being 18. I'm 20. They arrested me and charged me with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. I have court on Tuesday and I'm not sure what is going to happen. I have a clean record, and this was my first time ever being in jail. Can someone please tell me if I'm facing jail time? Or what I'm looking at?

Use and Enforcement: Easement Rights

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

Town (unincorporated, less than 200 people) was set up with alleys and streets. An alley was established sometime in the 1800's next to a town alley. We own the property next to the town alley. Sometime in 2002, unbeknownst to us, neighbor bought the alley next to the town alley from the original owner's heirs of the land where the non-town alley was. Our family has owned property in town next to alley since 1950's. The town alley was always treated by us and all previous owners as belonging to our property. It is grass and always has been grass. There is a structure (a brick wishing well ) sitting on it with a cement base that said it was put up in 1941. Our home was destroyed in 1965 tornado and a new residence built in 1966. However, when it was rebuild it appears that it encroached on the town alley. There is a circle driveway that both properties shared. We have maintained the town alley for years and stoned the circle driveway. Our mother who owned the property died in and 2011 at the age of 91. Other property owner died in 2016 at the age of 103. We wanted to buy some property from the estate to make our property more of a square shape. This is when we all discovered that the 2002 sale had occurred. This sell in 2002, it actually shut off our use of the driveway so we could not get out unto the road. However, the old owner never said anything about it or had a problem with us using it to exit our property.

the new owner blocked our use of the driveway to the road. They have put buckets, boards, boards with nails in them, and generally harassed us about using the driveway exit. They say we were throwing stones on their property when exiting. They are now blocking access to roadway. They have torn out the gravel access port on our side of shared driveway and dumped a load of dirt in there at the end of driveway in our yard. shut down that end of driveway. We have no other means to get out of our driveway and property. We would have to put in a new driveway thru our yard. EMS and fire trucks could not get in either.

What can we do? Can they legally do this since the implied use of this driveway/easement has been in use for probably a 100 years. At least 60 since we have had the property and we bought it that way.

Prison: Denied Judicial Release - when Can She Reapply

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Ohio

The woman that stole from my parents business was sentenced to 4 years in prison. She applied for and was denied judicial release. I was looking at the Ohio code 2929.20 and it said that if it was denied with prejudice, then she could not reapply, and would have to finish out her term. Assuming it was denied without prejudice, is there a specific amount of time that she has to wait before reapplying? I couldn't find it in the code that I was looking at.

Property Division: How Long Do I Need to Keep the Ex's Stuff at My House

My question involves a marriage in the state of: Pennsylvania

Pertinent Information:
Divorce finalized: April 2015
He moved out: April 2014

He signed a quit claim and I paid him half equity in the house, the house has been fully mine since May 2014

The division of property document stated that he had 180 days to vacate the premises. He is/was a mechanic and there are tons of car parts around the house (garage, and 3 sheds) and 1 car (I don't have keys or title for it). 3 1/2 years after he moved out he still has not collected his items. I am trying to get my house ready to sell, which means I need to get rid of these items. These are not items that are easily delivered to his house, or stored under the stairs. Some of them aren't even easy to slide across a floor (think engines and transmissions).

How long, legally, do I need to continue to keep these items. They are keeping me from being able to put my house up for sale.

Does this violate proper procedure for IRS?
And besides disputing with TransUnion, Equifax, or Experian, what steps can consumer take to remove the lien?

Probation and Parole: What Happens Next

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Louisiana

My ex husband was arrested in September for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, he placed bail and was realised. He didn't show up to court a couple of times and had a alias capias for $0 issued. He was arrested in March for the warrant, he then plead guilty under 893 and had his 2 years at hard labor suspended in place of 2 yrs felony probation.

He did not follow through with probation, or pay any restitution to the victim, and an alias capias for $20,000 was set into place. This past week, he was picked up for another charge of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, illegal possession of stolen things, warrant, and prob violation.

This time someone is testifying against him. What happens next? Will they see this as a repeat offence since it is within a year? Will he serve time this go around, or will he placed back on probation?
If he does serve time, how much? Min and max?

Is a Barbershop Liable if a Banned Person Trips on Their Shoelaces Inside the Shop

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

My boyfriend returned yesterday to the barbershop we were both banned from to ask for the ban to be lifted, even if they were only willing to allow him and not me back in the business. They said no and told him to leave or police would be called. On his way out he tripped on his untied shoelace and fell down, bruising his knee. Since he was still in the barbershop when it happened can he sue the shop?

Retail Fraud / Shoplifting: First Time, Last Time Offender. Wondering About the Process in Mississippi

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Mississippi

Got busted trying to steal about 60 or so dollars of groceries. Have a part time job with a small team of people, hard to get in full time unless someone dies or retires. So, hurting for money. Been trying to get full time in other places, but options are somewhat limited where I live. Got an exam date for a postal job just one day before the arrest. Guess that's screwed now... "Successfully" stole groceries several other times before being caught. Was wondering if they'll (Walmart), bring that up at court, too. Figuring the answer is, "yes".

Anyway, the thing that got me busted was a modem I stole from another Walmart the day before, I think. Still have it. Stole it so I could have an internet connection to do the first exam for the postal job, online obviously. Internet was down and I had a strict deadline by which to finish the exam. Couldn't trust Comcast to get it fixed in time, so took matters into my own hands. Stupid, I know. Police and loss prevention were waiting on me at the Walmart where I regularly went to filch groceries. Got cuffed, taken to the jail, photographed but never fingerprinted, got recognizance bond a few hours later to the tune of $225. Admitted to LP everything I had done. Figured there was no point in lying. Ashamed enough already as is.

Long story not too much more short: The only non-food thing I stole was the modem. Mom's an alcoholic so I've never taken a drink in my life. Too risky. Don't like being altered, so I've never taken any kind of drug that's not aspirin or aleve other than some god-awful pain killer thing I had after a surgery once. So, it's not as if I'm out there lifting electronics so I can go out and score some dope. This is my first time offense for anything, and I intend for it to be my last. Was wondering if anyone had any advice besides "Don't steal shit, stupid."

-Thanks

Patents: Can I Patent the Idea and Methods

Hello,

I've been developing software on my own for the past few years.
The software's purpose is used for doing things that you will currently not find anywhere else.

I am going through the process of writing a document for my patent on a networking method that the software incorporates, which my attorney says he is very confident it is patent-eligible.

My original idea was to patent the software, but my attorney wants me to majorly focus the networking system, and use my software as an example-use, which would be pointless for patenting my software.

My question is,
do I patent only the networking system I've developed? Or am I able to get protection on both within one document?

I could see where my software would fall into the "Copyright" category instead of for a patent, but because the software is innovative, I could also see how it is able to be patented.

Information would be appreciated,
Thanks

Defamation: Is Accusing Someone of the False Practice of Law Actionable

My question involves defamation in the state of: Michigan

My former employer and his agents have been systematically trying to defame and discredit me, alleging I have caused him death threats and released his personal information. He releases an email to former and current employees directing them them to call in and listen to a message. In which several times in the first few sentences he indicates that "some people" "who think they know everything" are running around "playing attorney" and providing "bad legal advice" the phrase bad legal advice appears over 3 times in the first minute.

He then directs those assembled to sue me and press charges due to the loss of income they would potentially sustain by listening to my inaccurate "legal advice"

The aforementioned advice being, not to sign a resignation letter saying you quit when over 100 of us were laid off, to pursue legal counsel or call the unemployment agency.

Not twelve hours prior one of his agents is accusing threatening me with litigation of slander for postings I made over the internet (even though technically it would be libel) and I advised him correctly Slander was going around telling people I assaulted him and barred his exit in his office. He then proceeds to threaten me by stating just as I told you that I wouldn't let you get away with them ignoring my sexual harassment claims you're "not going to get away with practicing law without a licence advising people of their legal rights"

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

And before you suggest getting an attorney I have been desperately attempting to however, it appears that it is difficult when you lack money.

Transfer of Title: Junking a Car Where the Title Has a Lienholder on It

Note this is about a car that is currently registered/titled in California (and I live there too).
My procrastination has got me in a big bind.

I bought my car in 1991, and it was paid off by 1995.
The bank sent me a letter confirming the loan was cleared (In 1995).
But the financial institution listed on the title is different than the one on the letter the bank sent.

I never went down to the DMV to clear the title.
I want to get rid of the car. I applied for the California buy back program for junking old cars.
It wasn't approved because of fact that the financial institution name of the lien holder on the title isn't the same as the one in the bank's letter.
They want a statement from the bank that the financial institution listed on the title is the same as the one in the letter.
In the mean time the bank have been acquired and changed several times.
At this point I can't find anyone that can send me a letter verifying that the two name/financial institutions are the same.

I don't even care about the buy back program/getting money, I just want to find a way to get rid of the car (junk it).

Can you suggest anything I can do?

Thank you,
Chris

Traffic Lights, Signs and Controls: Do I Need to Stop at the Line if Contruction Worker Gesturing to Keep Moving

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

I was stopped and got a ticket for "FAIL TO STOP AT LIMIT LINE WHEN RED LIGHT FLASHING".

In fact there were construction workers at the intersection and one of them was kind of regulating the traffic (stood on the road gesturing to drivers). At the time I was approaching stop line he was clearly gesturing to me to keep moving. I did not do a full stop and kept moving.

So am I guilty?

If I understand it correctly, only the prosecutor can offer plea bargains?

If so, how do I speak with a/the prosecutor and work out a offer like "Pay $300 and do not get another ticket for 90 days and the ticket will be dismissed without showing up on record."?

Both Parents Paying Child Support

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: NY
My child is currently in legal and physical custody of her aunt. She has applied for public assistance so they are taking me to court for child support. I have been paying support to the child's mother and am current with my payments. I am aware that I do not need to pay both people and part of the court hearing will be terminating payments to the mother and paying the aunt. But I am also wondering if my child's mother will also have to pay support to the aunt since she does not currently have physical custody of her.

Speeding Tickets: Pleading Guilty to a Lower Fine, Community Service and Traffic School

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

I was driving at 80 on the 5 freeway. Since the 5 freeway was empty on that day with no car in sight, I, incorrectly assumed that I could speed.

Within a few minutes of me driving at that speed, I noticed a car a quarter mile away in my rear view mirror.

Within 10 seconds, the car turned on its lights and I knew I was in trouble.

Since I committed the mistake, I took responsibility for the error.

Now I need your help in figuring out how to:

1. Pleading guilty and request a lower fine
2. Request the ability to settle the fine through community service instead of paying it. I am hoping to provide my paltry retail job paystub to show the judge that a full time student like myself would appreciate this
3. Request traffic school with the assumption this would not affect my auto insurance rates. My current auto insurance is through an extremely cut rate insurance company called Wavanesa and they only insure drivers with a clean record.

I currently have a 100% clean record and this is my first ticket in 10 years since I touched the wheel of a car.

How do I go about this?

Drug Possession: Drug Charge + False Info + Fleeing Scene

My question involves criminal law for the state of: North Carolina
So this situation occured a few days ago and it involves several poor choices I made due to panicking and not thinking it through. An acquaintance and myself planned on smoking a blunt (a cigar that is cleared out with marijuana put in its place) so we went to a gas station near my university (but off campus) to pick up cigar wraps. I had about 3 grams of marijuana with me in a smellproof bag, and I was riding in the acquaintances car. I went inside the gas station and purchased 2 cigar wraps, and walked back out to his car. I got in and he waited there for a minute (not sure why) but in the meantime I pulled the cigar which only had tobacco in it out to look at it and smell it. A few moments later, a guy in plain clothes with a badge was knocking on the window on my side and prompted me to roll it down. I attempted to do so, but it wasn't working. He continued knocking, and finally opened my door himself. He said that he saw me with the cigar in my hand, and said that it looked like a blunt and asked if we had weed with us. My acquaintance was ready to throw me under the bus from very early on, even though he had planned on smoking with me. He said we had nothing on us and that the officer could search the car. I started freaking out because the kid obviously knew I had weed on me and was ready to screw me over, plus the weed charges are harsh in the state of NC. The officer asked me my name, and I made one up off the top of my head. He then told me to get out of the car and asked to pat me down, which I said was fine. He found the bag I had with the weed in it, and at this point his partner in a different car rolled up and watched us while he searched the car. I waited there for a second, and when they were distracted I took off and ran probably a half mile away, they yelled at me but did not pursue. At this point the acquaintance said that the officers told him to call me or they would put out a warrant for my arrest. After this, the officer asked him for my number, which he gave to him. At this point the officer called me twice, I didnt answer either. I'm assuming that they then went to the school directory with my phone number, because the next call I got was from my mom who said the officer called her and that I needed to go back right away. I then called the officer, who said to come back towards the gas station. I walked back and met them in a parking lot near there. I tried to be very polite and respectful, and just explained that I panicked and made a mistake. While he threw a lip of tobacco in (very professional) he wrote me 2 citations (both misdemeanors), plus I got a student conduct violation from my university. Other crucial details include that they were not actual police officers, but a part of the ABC unit that is tasked with patrolling ABC liquor stores in the area. Also both of their cars were completely unmarked. My family is planning on hiring an attorney and fighting the case in court, and I am wondering if I have a realistic chance of getting it thrown out. Ive researched it pretty much nonstop, and the things I think could work in my favor are
A) Emptied out cigar wraps/loose tobacco is not probable cause by itself, and what I had was a full cigar filled only with tobacco
B) The State of North Carolina has an ordinance at work to reduce the power and jurisdiction of these ABC officers
C) When the officer was on the phone with my mom she asked how he got her number, and he replied "we have our ways" so he was beating around the bush. I have a feeling that it is frowned upon/illegal for them to go to the school records to get my information
D) I did not think officers were allowed to just open a car door without permission
E) They used scare tactics with both me and the other kid to try and get information out of us

This is my first ever criminal charge, so I will likely have an option of a class to at least get the drug charges off. I'm devastated that a dumb decision 2 weeks into my freshman year of college could cost me my future and career. I appreciate any input or help anyone can provide. Thanks.

Sales Agreements: Flooded New Car Due to Hurricane

My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: TX
We recently traded in our car to get a new one. Had some features installed as part of the agreement so didn't take delivery of the car supposedly a day or two later. Well, hurricane Harvey hit and flooded a lot of places, including the car dealership. We are worried that the car dealership will make us claim insurance for this new car when we haven't take possession of it. Are we liable for that new car or is it the dealership?
Our traded in car is totaled due to flooding for sure. So now we are without a working car and don't even know when we will get a new car?

Eviction Notice

My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Oregon (Portland,OR)
My roommates who I had asked to get on the lease when they asked if they could move in, did not get on the lease. They have been here for a year and the apartment management has been turning a blind eye. I had given them a termination notice that I had written two months ago, but it wasn't a proper notice and now they refuse to pay rent.
I have received a 30 day notice from my apartment manager that states I have until 9/8/17 to remedy the situation or I have to leave as well.
The couple living with me finally got approved for an apartment that will be ready on the first. I have been calm and cordial throughout the situation and keeping in communication with them about them ultimately leaving.
Last night I went in to use the bathroom grabbing my book like I usually do before I sit down, from underneath the sink, and that is where I noticed a phone that was recording. Let's just say I felt to sick to use the restroom afterwards! I looked through the phone and the pictures to figure out who it belonged to, turns out that it belongs to the male that is supposed to be moving out in a few days! Where it was positioned it was recording the toilet through the crack of the cabinet. Unfortunately, I didn't sit down and get recorded before I found it, otherwise I wouldn't be asking the question;
Due to the fact that I received the notice of termination, (and I am so tired of being disrespected by these people!) can I call the police and have them escorted out of my apartment today, because they are not supposed to be there? Also, what should I say to the police? As well as, how do I confront the people living with me about this gross invasion of privacy?

Divorce: Recourse for Damaged Property

My question involves a marriage in the state of: FL

On Oct 11, 2016, I signed my portion of our settlement agreement. On Oct 22, 2016, my now ex husband defaced the vehicle that I was to be awarded in the divorce. I was told that since I'd already signed the paperwork, there was nothing I could do about the damaged vehicle. Off record, he agreed to compensate me for the KBB value of the truck at the time it was damaged. However, I lost my job and he held off on giving me the money since he wanted it to go towards a new vehicle and not household expenses. Since that time, he had decided to not give me the money at all saying it went to attorney fees (he retained counsel bc of the possible criminal charges, I was pro se due to being unemployed) despite we each being responsible for our own per the settlement.

What are my options if any?

The vehicle was registered solely in his name at the time he damaged it so he was never charged with vandalism and the AG's office opted out of pressing charges for stalking and trespassing.

Can I take him to small claims court or file a modification to our divorce settlement or am I stuck with a truck that has vulgarities carved into it on all sides?

I was caught shoplifting in jcpenney. I gave no information, no name, address, phone number, literally nothing. I also didn't sign any papers.

Relocation: Moving from Va to Az

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Virginia/Arizona

Due to the high cost of living in my area and the huge amount of debt I am working with, I will not be able to pay rent for much longer. Because of that I decided to move in with my friend and her family. They are exited for us to move in and so are we. I spoke to my ex and he is fine with me and my daughter moving to Arizona. I would like to get something that he needs to sign in case he changes his mind in the future. I will move back to Virginia in summer of 2019, just before school starts. In addition, I would need to know if I need to contact the child support department in Arizona or if the one in Virginia can make adjustments to the child support order since my income as well as daycare expenses are going to change.

Thank you.

Traffic Lane Violations: Ticket for Making an Improper U-Turn From the Curb, VC 21460.5

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

Got a ticket today and I am not sure if I am guilty or not. I was leaving for work this morning. My car was parallel parked on a curb facing northbound. In the center of the road is a Two Way Left Turn Lane. In order to get to work I needed to get onto the southbound lane, opposite side from where I was parked. I shift my car around and angle it to get ready to leave my parking spot. I look left, right, and left before making my move. No incoming traffic from either direction. I proceed to turn left and initiate a U-turn from where I was parked on the curb.

I drive across the Two Way Left Turn Lane, and complete my U-turn while on the southbound lane. I thought that crossing the central Two Way Left Turn Lane in this scenario is ok because the lane itself has broken lines inside the solid lines. However, a couple seconds later a cop on a motorcycle is behind me with his lights on and pulls me over. I pull over to the curb to my right and park. He said I made an illegal turn. I said I thought it was ok what I did because the lane in the middle of the road had broken lines. He said, yes, that was ok, but I did not use the middle lane.

I still did not get why I was at fault at that point. In my mind I was thinking there was no need to stay in the middle lane at the time as there was no traffic to yield from either southbound or northbound lanes. Did he mean I should have completed my U-Turn on the center Two Way Left Turn Lane First first and then proceeded to the southbound lane or did he mean I should have made my way to the Two Way Left Turn Lane first while facing northbound still then proceed to execute a U-turn from there? I tried to ask him questions but he said he couldn't spend time explaining and that he had a whole bunch of other complaints to deal with. "WTF?!" I was merely asking to clarify about the violation he is accusing me for.

Anyways, he proceeds to write me a ticket for VC 21460.5 (c) and wrote down next to the code, "U-turn from curb failing to use center most lane." I look up the vehicle code later in the day and it states:

"(c) A vehicle shall not be driven in a designated two-way left-turn lane except when preparing for or making a left turn from or into a highway or when preparing for or making a U-turn when otherwise permitted by law, and shall not be driven in that lane for more than 200 feet while preparing for and making the turn or while preparing to merge into the adjacent lanes of travel.  A left turn or U-turn shall not be made from any other lane where a two-way left-turn lane has been designated."

Where here does it mention the requirement to use the center most lane? Am I reading something incorrectly?

Furthermore section (d) states:

"(d) This section does not prohibit driving across a two-way left-turn lane."

After reading this I still don't see how I am guilty. Can someone please help clarify? If I am guilty, I'm ok with it. I'll take the point on my record and pay the fee. I just want to understand why I am at fault to justify this ticket. However, If I do have a case against this ticket please let me know and I will proceed to take it to court, something that I have never done in my life.

Repossession: Car Repossessed Over Lack of Insurance, but it Was Insured

My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: New Jersey.

I financed a car in february. My car was repoed on thursday because my insurance was cancelled. I had no idea that the repossedsion was taking place because i was at work come out after my shift to no car. I never missed a payment nor been late on my loan. I immediately contacted the deler they said I had to wait till the next day to speak with someone specific because they had no information on my car being repoed.


The next day I speak with the propper person advised that I already had proof of insurance she stated That that 95% of the time the bank doesn't return repoed cars so if i wanted i can cancel my policy. Contacted the bank they said they don't have possession of my car that i would have to speak with the dealer. Contacted the owner he states that he had no problem on releasing my car if i provide proof of insurance but however he is not happy about the miles that i put on my car so far (less then 10 thousand) so he doesn't want to give me possession back.

No where in my contract says that anything about miles nor miles limit. What can I do? Is this legal? Also read their reviews and I'm not the first person they have done this too.

Pleadings: What Happens if You Miss a Filing Deadline Because You Can't Find a Lawyer

My question involves the 61st district court procedures for the state of Michigan.

I was recently laid off with 100 other coworkers with 0 notice through a voicemail. In response to the former owner's insistence that we sign resignations to collect severance. I advised everyone not to sign a resignation and potentially waive their rights.

The Friday following another recording is released to the same hundred or so people in which the Owner accuses "some people" of practicing law with out a license so poorly that they should be sued and criminally prosecuted. "HE," thinks he knows so much about this and that...(yes I noticed the change too)

Shortly thereafter opposing counsel sends out another email essentially in an attempt to defame my character.

In short, I have been gathering evidence since at least February for an EEOC, UIA, and DOL complain regarding several seriously disturbing practices at the company, I had been in contact with the EEOC in mid June shortly before the companies "closed" the company was aware of this and I feel that the lawsuit I am currently under. Is merely an attempt to silence and or thrawrt those potential investigations.

I am actually being used for conversion of company property and interference with a business relationship and threatened with criminal prosecution as well under MCL 750.411s

http://ift.tt/19PcGkT(S(w2q...0AND%20contact

I have attempted to go to legal aid which will not assist me, they advised me of Lawyer referral service which requires 25.00 which I do not have since my employer is illegally withholding my last paycheck and yes I have already filed a complaint with wage and hour. I went to the legal assistance center located at the courthouse for assistance and was advised to secure counsel.

I attempted to secure counsel and due to lack of funds was unable to do so. Yesterday I was permitted access to a private law library by a very kind securing guard under the watch of an angel of a librarian. It is there where I learned about affirmative defenses and my utter lack of ability to coherently form one due to my inexperience and not being a lawyer.

After many hours, I was interrupted so I could go to the police department to inquire regarding the status of "alleged" criminal complaints that had been filed as expressed to me by opposing counsel.

Today I attempted to the best of my ability finish my complaint, however, I misunderstood the clerk as saying 4:50, and not what she actually said 4:15 which was when the office closed today.

I fear I now have a default judgment against me and have no resources for legal counsel nor any means or method to pay the judgment. I merely want to request more time so I can accurately articulate my defense so I can have my day in court.

ANY thoughts or resources I might not have attempted would be greatly appreciated.

How Do You Protect 3 Year Old Victims of Sexual Abuse

My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: Louisiana

This is one of the most serious areas of deficiency in our legal system - protection of the very young from sexual abuse - - - A single mother realizes that her 2 year old child has been sexually abused during an agreed to unsupervised overnight visitation with the father. The child begins exhibiting extreme sexual 'acting out' behaviors and expresses verbally on many occasions that these are things she does for 'poppa'. This continues over the course of a year and the child is now 3 years old and continues to sporadically display these behaviors and verbal expressions including to imply that her fingers would be cut off if she did not keep it a secret from her mother. The Audrey Hepburn CARE center has recently provide a report after interviews with the child that overnight visitations should not resume until after the DCFS review has been completed, which will be in mid-September. The DCFS therapist has told the mother verbally that the report will include that the therapist does believe sexual abuse has occurred. Meanwhile the presiding family court judge (Amacker) has ordered that the mother comply with the father's lawyers request that unsupervised overnight visitation resume on this Friday Sept. 1, 2017. The mother's lawyer who has limited experience in such unique and difficult areas only tells the mother to not express her concerns because she will be accused of false allegations and possibly lose custody of her child and to just do whatever the judge says, in effect to hand the child over for 2 days of unsupervised overnight visitation, in the same situation where the child clearly suffered sexual abuse 1 year ago. The first question is - in this situation is it not in the mother's best interest to refuse to comply with the court order in order to protect the child from further abuse, and how to do this in the most strategic and advantageous way. The second question is, when is it time for a mother in this situation to 'go public' and make the rightful accusations against the abuser even facing the risk that it could be used against her.

Chapter 7: LLC Discharge

My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: Texas

I was the sole owner of a small business (LLC) and I stopped doing business several months ago. I am now working as an employee at a medium-sized corporation.

My business bank account, which was my LLC's only asset, has been depleted. However, the LLC has numerous liabilities that I have been unable to repay. These creditors have turned everything over to collection agencies, who are now calling me constantly. In addition, I was just served with a lawsuit (naming my LLC as the defendant) from one of the creditors. I don't dispute the validity of these debts, I just can't do anything about it right now. I really don't know what else to do. Should I file a company bankruptcy for my LLC?

Can I Travel Yo Canada What Options Do I Have

Hello gents

I would like to introduce myself first, i am an Egyptian engineer, i have an american wife and four kids all americans, i overstayed in the US for about 1 year and the reason will be explained later, i was married to my exwife and filled for green card, before my interview day i had a fight with my exwife and led to charging me with domestic violence [she said i threw a book at her head] and led to a divorce, after this i recived a letter from immigration sateting that i had to leave, by that time i already overstayed my entry visa, i have met my beautiful current wife during this time, called my lawyer he said just stay and when the divorce case get done i will just marry my pregnant GF and correct my status because if i went outside of the country i will not be able to get in again, the divorce case took about 9 months, my GF was 5 months pregnant with my lovely daughter, One day i was driving home after couble of beers and got pulled over and charged with OVI not DUI, my GF came to bond me but they told her that i had ice hold on me, the OVI case ended up with a fine, it was the hardest time of my life, after three months in jail trying to get bonded but to no avail, my divorce case was done, we tried to get married while in jail but it was so hard as i was in ice detention,i decided to pay my own ticket and leave with voluntary departure, the immigration judge decided to include my traffic record in the case as he saw i had many speeding tickets but all paid, i left to Egypt and my wife followed me, we got married in Egypt and had my daughter there, after that i had my handsome son, we filled again for me to be able to come back to the US but with a deffirent lawyer, he said may chances are good, my case now at the National visa center, waiting for the interview date in the US embassey in Egypt, the last email i got from the NVC was about 6 months ago, They say the case will be closed in a year so how long it take to get the interview date??
I am facing a really hard time me and my wife financially and emotionally as she is away from her family and Egypt is not that great to be in, she feel she is stuck with me even she dont say it... there actually more to it, after what happened in egypt and after the army have staged a coup on the legal president and threw him in prison, any person will say even "what happened in Egypt was a coup" he will end up in jail, my dad is a muslim brotherhood member and the Egyptian gov wants him, he can seek assylum in many countries but he just prefer not to do so, i had no anything to do with the Muslim brotherhood and since i graduated i am out of Egypt, i just visit every now and then which was big problem when i came back with my wife as i had nothing tying me to the country except my family, finding a decent job there is kinda impossiple even living there is impossible, why? Because the Egyptain gov wants me to get to my dad, so i am wanted by the ISF internal security forces but i can not get any papers instates this so i can not seek assylum anywhere, i want to ask if i can do that based on my dad's situation??,
I do not have any criminal record in Egypt, they even did not charge me with anything but i guess they with deal with that after catching me or just kill me or torture me to death instead and this literally happened to many people I know. They keep raiding my home every now and then to look for me and take whatever they like to take, computers, phones, money or anything that have value, they even took my passport that have the American visa. Now even when they come they do not ask about my dad, they just ask for me like seriously they totally forgot about him but they want me and the more they keep coming for me the more i know its God damn serious and no joke, at first i decided to go to their place and simply tell them i have nothing to do with my dad's business, i never was a fan of politics. But lawyers told me if i went there i will never go out alive as they will torture me to know where is my dad, they said the best case scenario if they well treated me that they will let me rot in jail or put my name in any opened case then i will face military court to get like 20-25 years or death sentence like many others. After some bribes i managed to get out of the country to Malaysia and had to leave my family in Egypt, trying to make it work but its not enough to bring my family with me and its not even enough to support them there. On top of that i have to pay about $3000 each year just to be able to stay in the country.
As an alternative, is it possible for me to go to Canada after all what happened in the US?
What is my wife and the kids situation if they entered canada? Can they stay there permanent or they gotta go back to america and if so how often? Is the schools free? Do we get any gov help?
Can you please give me a good advice or help me to find the right way out of this nightmare!
and if canada is not the right option, what should i do? Can i seek assylum? Where and how?

Sorry if its too much, Thank you for reading this long post, please wish me luck and pray for us to come over this bad situation.

Assault & Battery: My Landlord's Husband Got Charged with Battery

My question involves criminal law for the state of: IL

My background:
No criminal record
Student
Works 8-5 mon-fri
26 years old 230 pounds (pudgy, but athletic and strong)

Others involved:
Landlord's husband (70 years old+, retired, drinks all day, 170 pounds or so)
Roommate 1 (40ish? 240 pounds, OTR trucker, hangs out with landlord's husband and brother all other times, brother to roommate 2)
Roommate 2 (40ish? 180 pounds, does not work, brother to roommate 1, hangs out only with his brother and/or landlord's husband)

My landlord's husband and roommate 1 assaulted me. The only people present were roommate 1, roommate 2, the landlord's husband, and me. I called the police and explained my side, and roommates 1, roommates 2, and my landlord's husband explained their version of the event. The only injuries were my bloody nose. No one else was hurt or injured or sought medical treatment. The police charged the husband's landlord with battery and arrested him. Roommate 1, roommate 2, and the landlord are best friends so roommate 1 and 2 are willing to lie to the benefit of the landlord's husband when it comes to trail or whatever. The arresting officers witnessed that my landlord was taunting in-front of them, he even hit me on the side of the head with an open palm.

The problem:
I don't have any witnesses.
My landlord's husband has a friend that works for that specific police department so that friend might have asked the arresting officers to make the police report more neutral.
I'm currently under DACA.

Should I drop my complaint? Is it possible for me to end up with a record, even though they don't have any evidence of harm or injury? How should I proceed from here?

Selling a Condo and Assessment Delinquency

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

I am selling my condo and have a closing date in two days.

I am also treasurer of the condominium association and
have been filling out the paperwork for the association
for this sale.

We are a six unit building, and unfortunately, one
of the owners is behind on their assessment payments
by three months. I filled out a questionnaire for
the lender three weeks ago in which I stated that
we had one owner behind on their assessment.


The buyer's lender just called me (in my capacity as treasurer,
not seller) and said that the loan would not be approved
because one of the owners was delinquent.

He told me that I needed to fill out a new questionnaire
stating that all units in the building were paid up
and also write a letter explaining why things changed.

In short, he asked me to lie. He said "look, the buyer
wants to buy your condo and you want to sell it". He
also said that the buyer is "a good friend of my wife".


So, do I fill out a new form/write a letter in which
I lie and say that the delinquent account has been paid
up? If I don't, I won't sell my condo to the current buyer
(who made their offer on July 20), and have to start
showing the place again.

If I do lie, how much potential trouble can I get in?


I am in Illinois.

Initiation of Charges What Does It Mean when a Detective Swears in Charges

My question involves criminal law for the state of: MI

Recently I was reading a police report where formal charges were initiated against me, but subsequently withdrawn after my defense lawyer said the prosecutors had reviewed the case. This completely confused me because I though prosecutors had the sole power to file charges, and the review process is something they do BEFORE charges get filed. The report stated that the detective had 'sworn in' charges with the magistrate. Does this mean the detective was somehow able to bypass the prosecutors authorization process and go through a magistrate instead?

Repossession: Financed Audi for G/F. Shes Never Paid a Dime. Recording of Her Admitting to Default

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

I bought/Financed a used Audi for my then G/F. Loan is solely in my name. I bought the car from a private seller. G/F was present with me at time of purchase. Ohio title was only partially filled out, :explanation: Private seller signed and properly filled out seller portion of Ohio title. The buyer portion of the title was left temporarily blank as we did not have a notary with us. The intention was to complete and sign the buyer section of the Ohio title in front of a legal Notary within the follow week (car was purchased on weekend)
HOWEVER approx.: 48 hours after Audi was purchased & paid for by me. G/F left me, blocked me from all social media, & changed her cell # taking off with my Audi, Both sets of keys, And the incomplete, partially filled out Ohio car title locked in the glovebox.

She drove the Audi around for 3 weeks on illegal tags, from her previous vehicle. At that point she placed her name into the buyer section of the car title, lied about the vehicle purchase price on the title ($5,000 actual purchase price was $12500) and had a family member notarize the illegally filled out title, and illegal purchase price of $5000.
My ex. g/f was successful in getting the car title transferred over into her name. However the car loan is in my name and I need to car title to be sent to my bank as collateral for my used car loan. She stole the car, and the partially blank ohio title before I had the chance to sign it, and mail it into my bank.

I have now paid 3 months worth of car payments to protect my credit score. She has not paid a single dollar to me.
I was able to record her on the phone admitting to not having paid me anything for the car, and admitting she knew that she owed me money for it every month but is unable to pay bc.. she lost her job. This is an 5 minute audio recording. Long after she default on payment to me.

I have two attorneys working the case jointly. We have been unsuccessful in locating her to subpoena her to court. She continues to dodge the legal system. Willl driving my Audi daily free of charge.

What can I do, will I ever get my car back?? Or will all she ever get charged with is default of payment?

Custody and Visitation Issues: Vague Agreement - Question Re: Late Pick

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Fredericksburg VA
I'll give bullet points to keep this easy to follow - I am the mom in this situation.

58/42 shared custody arrangement.
DAD works FRI/SAT/SUNDAYS so majority of year MOM has kids on weekends, DAD has MON-THURS but every other Saturday 5 months of the year.

Custody agreement says first parent to choose, "Dates are to be selected by April 1" and second, "Dates are to be selected by April 10"

Parents can choose 3 weeks of vacation, up to 7 days (could be three 7-day periods but no more than 7). Language not clear about putting these days next to custodial time, making vacation up to 12 days in some instances.
Agreement says children cannot miss school.

Some Details:
First 5 years of agreement we always chose summer dates - sometimes staycation, sometimes travel - but all during summer. This year Dad didn't pick his dates until after summer was over. His late requests is for all of my weekends in SEPT OCT NOV DEC (Even though I know he works weekends). I will only see kids a few evenings for those months. This feels wrong, and, while agreement is vague and looks like it's legal for him to do this - I have plans for several of the days he's requesting. I said YES to some of his dates and NO to others.

More info:

I was first to choose this year, but chose all vacation dates by April 3 instead of April 1 -- 2 days late **this is because I was trying to work with DAD about signing up daughter for camps and sports. In past years I had to take vacation time in order for child to attend a Mon-Fri camp (as DAD said "NO" to camps, would not pay for half, and also would not take child on his custodial days). That is his right (even though it is wrong) so I usually just register/pay for/take daughter to activities as work-around (point it out but don't not fight about it).

So, if I have dates already on calendar and could only accommodate some of his dates can he force me to give him all dates? He is threatening me with filing a petition or complaint.

QUESTIONS:
Am I required to accept his dates?

What happens when parents pick dates late and the other parent already has plans?
Does parent whose year it is to PICK FIRST have ability to move ahead with making plans on calendar if SECOND PICKER waits 3, 4, 5 months to choose dates?

Is there any implication after several years of choosing summer vacation dates, that he is just trying to change the custody calendar by taking my custodial weekends during school year? The kids don't want to be taken to the daycare - where he works an hour away.

DWI Charges in Two States at Once

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Missouri/Virginia

I recieved a DWI in the state of Missouri and did everything i needed to do to get my license back. ( court costs, improvement class, carried special insurance, reinstatement fee) but as i went to get my license back i was told there was a hold on my license in the state of va. I did live in va and had a valid driverse license there. I had a suspension in the state of va and surrendered my license over to obtain my missouri DL which is my state of residence. I called the va dmv about the hold on my license. They informed me that my va license was still valid and i recieved a dwi therefor i have to go through their version of an improvement class, carry their special insurance, and pay their reinstatement fee. I recieved my dwi in the state of missouri with my valid missouri drivers license. I no longer had a va DL. I have already completed everything i need in the state of Missouri. I didnt think my va license was still valid. It has a stamp saying void on it so i thought it was invalid. I dont have time to go to va and take another 50 hour class or pay another fine. I dont understand why i should have to do everything again for the state of va.

Debt Collectors: Pay Check Garnishment

My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: FL.

Hello to all, In late July I received a letter from one of the payroll companies I receive paychecks from (I am self employed so I receive checks from various entities through different payroll companies) the letter stated that they had received court order to start garnishing my pay checks. I then contacted the payroll company to get more information and all they could provide was the name of the legal firm that was representing the collection agency that filed to garnish my checks. I attempted to contact the legal firm and was not able to get to a live person so I left a voicemail with my contact info, it has been close to 3 weeks now and no response from the law firm. I then start to do some research to try and get information regarding the collection company and I find out that the company is infamous for bad/illegal debt collection practices. Trying to get a hold of them was impossible, I couldn't even acquire a valid contact number.

I then Start to check the County Courts system and finally came across some information regarding the case that passed the motion to garnish. The case had taken place in late June and it stated that the court date notification letter was sent to an address that I have never lived at. In addition it stated the amount of the debt that they are collecting (over 3k) and who their client is (Major Bank). With this information I then checked my credit report to see if I could find the debt that this major bank is trying to collect and my credit reports states that I have NO ACCOUNTS in collection. At this point I am little worried that this may be some sort of fraud.

So today I contacted the major bank and explained the situation ... to several departments. I explained that I have never had any affiliation with that bank but somehow my wages are being garnished for a debt that no one seems to be able to tell me about. One of the reps actually searched the database to see if they could see anything and did find an account under my ss# and that was pretty much where it started going downhill once they noticed that the account was in collections the transfers started and ended at a rep telling me I had to contact the collection company that is handling the account so I ask for the number and he states he doesnt have one to give. I then ask what is the address on the account? I was able to get that out of him and again it was that address that I never lived at I then asked if there where any other names on the account and he then put his guard up again and did not answer. I backed off a little and then asked what type of account was this? He gave me an indirect answer saying "I can not give you that information but I can see that the call came in through our credit card department, but I can not tell you what type of account it is" so it seems like it may be a credit card debt. I thanked him and started to search for the collections company that he told me which was different than what was listed on the payroll garnishment letter and found nothing under that name.

Since contacting any of the involved parties directly wasn't leading anywhere I then started to check the legal system and find FL. State Statute 222.11 (a) and (b) that in lack of better words state that any head of household can not legally have his wages garnished with out giving consent. I then start looking for the forms required to file for the garnishment exemption. Once I find it I read a disclosure that states that the exemption form must be turned in 20 days after I received judgment for garnishment or said rights are forfeited. Well that judgement notice was sent to an address that I don't live at, not to mention I did not even know that this was all in motion until a month later when I received notification from payroll company stating that they have been court ordered to garnish my wages which by then it was too late anyways to do anything anyways.

I am now in a position where believe that the fair debt collection practices have been violated in the sense that 1) I was never legally served for this trial or action. 2)My wages are being garnished even-though I am the head of house hold without my consent for an unknown debt that can not be verified.

I have dedicated 2 complete days just trying to figure out what exactly is the cause of all this and still have no definite answer or solution. I have exhausted all my resources so I am turning to this forum, any ideas or recommendations are welcomed.

Thank you for your time.

Grandparents and Third Parties: Can Biological Mom Legally Restrict a Stepparent from School/Public Events

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: CA

My husband and I have been married less than a year, and I'm still settling in to the role of stepmom (what to say, what not to say, when to get involved or step aside, etc). It's especially difficult as we only see my husband's son every other weekend. Even with the limited contact, my relationship to my new stepson is progressing steadily, and we've really seen him blossom in this new home and family dynamic in the past few months.

This past summer was the most time we've spent together with my husband's ex wife, occasionally doing soccer practices and games together. On the night before my stepson's first day of school, my husband got a call from his ex wife saying that I have been overstepping my bounds and trying to "inappropriately assert myself" over her in front of other parents at his soccer game the previous weekend, and that she has the legal right to request that I not be present on his first day of school, and that she is restricting me from being involved in events until I've proven that I can be trusted by her. His ex wife works in a marriage and family law office (I believe as a paralegal), so her communications are much more centered around what she has "the legal right to do," but she's also been known to lie or bend the "legal" truth in order to manipulate a situation (telling my husband that if we move in together I'm legally obligated to undergo a background check for her, that if we get married I'll be required to pay child support to her, that he is not allowed to have his son overnight on holidays granted to him in their parenting plan if it interferes with her schedule).

To respect her feelings and concerns, I agreed not to be present on the first day of school, but I haven't been able to find any example of a parent legally having any right to restrict a stepparent from being present at public and school events, unless the school has made the choice to restrict them. I'm thinking now that while she may obviously have the right to make any request, she may have no legal right to enforce it.

I understand that it's going to be a long and messy road to get to a place of cooperation and stability with my husband's ex, but I also don't want to set the example for my stepson that I'm absent or don't have an interest in his activities, especially when he's still learning who I am in his life. Is what she's saying legal?

Furniture from an Out-Of-State Purchase

My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Georgia and Texas
April this year we made a deal with a small business in Texas for 25k in furniture to be delivered May 26.

We used this company because there's a family member of a friend.

We paid cash via wire transfer. On the delivery day there was no calls and no delivery. After finally getting a hold of them we were able to get some furniture delivered about 30 days late. Furniture that was delivered arrived damaged, and not what we ordered.

There was about 7000 in items not delivered. Last week they sent an employee to delivery some items, again wrong items. They removed some of the items that were defective.

We have asked for a refund but they are not willing to end the contract. Do I just have to wait them out or can I sue them for a refund. Do I need to sue them in Texas

Copyright Law: Recordings Who Owns What Rights from My Front Yard

Sorry, but joined forum just to ask this question after a discussion with a friend.

Background: I live in a very rural area, have a pond with frogs, birds etc. Someone mentioned that I should record or stream my normal 'daily' sounds and offer them up for sale as ringtones/sleeptunes/ambiance noise etc. At first I thought that it may be fun, then after a few test runs, I realized that since I live fairly close to the parking area for a popular party spot, my 'ambient' noise recordings often included the music played by whoever happened to be driving by at the time.

So, that's why I am here. Who owns the rights to what I record in my front yard?

Adverse Possession: Adverse Possession Rules

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

Town (unincorporated, less than 200 people) was set up with alleys and streets. An alley was established sometime in the 1800's next to a town alley. We own the property next to the town alley. Sometime in 2002, unbeknownst to us, neighbor bought the alley next to the town alley from the original owner's heirs of the land where the non-town alley was. Our family has owned property in town next to alley since 1950's. The town alley was always treated by us and all previous owners as belonging to our property. It is grass and always has been grass. There is a structure (a brick wishing well ) sitting on it with a cement base that said it was put up in 1941. Our home was destroyed in 1965 tornado and a new residence built in 1966. However, when it was rebuild it appears that it encroached on the town alley. There is a circle driveway that both properties shared. We have maintained the town alley for years and stoned the circle driveway. Our mother who owned the property died in and 2011 at the age of 91. Other property owner died in 2016 at the age of 103. We wanted to buy some property from the estate to make our property more of a square shape. This is when we all discovered that the 2002 sale had occurred. Because of size of property needed to be in our county, we could not purchase what we wanted to because it was too small and we were not adjacent owner because of the town alley. Attorney suggested that we vacate the town alley, it would be split in two and they could then quit claim the 8 feet of that alley to us and then small piece of property could be sold to us and incorporated in our land. BIGGEST mistake we made was to not get this in writing. Our owner decided to sell the entire property before we could get surveys, legal descriptions, the vacation of the alley, etc. done. Proposed buyer said NO problem, they would agree to everything to be done like we said. We would pay for all the work that needed done and give them $500 for a small wedge of land (mind you, this wedge of land was so small that the county wouldn't let it stand on its own for us to buy). (Or so the surveyor told us). Now also mind you that the attorney we were using represented all of the 3 parties, now and in the past. Oh, and in this sell in 2002, it actually shut off our use of the driveway so we could not get out unto the road. However, the old owner never said anything about it or had a problem with us using it to exit our property.

After town alley was vacated and half given to us and half to the new owners, the new owners decided that they wanted $1500 for this small wedge of land PLUS the 8 feet of the alley they were given. Upsetting, yes, but we could live with it. Took us some time to come up with the $1500 since we already had a $2000 bill from the surveys, attorney fees, etc.. In the meantime, the new owner blocked our use of the driveway to the road. They have put buckets, boards, boards with nails in them, and generally harassed us about using the driveway exit. They say we were throwing stones on their property when exiting. We have told them that we have the money to purchase, will move the driveway so it is not next to theirs and exit at a different place. They are now refusing to sell and blocking access to roadway.

We need to know if we have a case to, in hindsight, go back and claim adverse possession of the old town alley and what are chances might be on that? Or to go forward in adverse possession? Our driveway could then access the roadway. We have pictures, can probably find witnesses, and the cement base with 1941 stamped on it to show that it has always been grass and never used as a alley. The attorney that we used (who is also the new owners' attorney) said that he did not think we could claim adverse possession because in theory it was a government property (town alley) that we are trying to claim.

Any thoughts? And suggestions? Thanks.

Auto Insurance: Will Insurance Cover Accident Damage to a Car Driven by a Suspended Driver

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

I have a tenant in my home who is on my insurance as a driver. The car he was driving yesterday has full coverage. The accident was clearly the other drivers fault and he was sited as such by the police. Come to find out my driver has a suspended license and had no idea since he had moved to a new address (mine).

In this state you can put a sticker on the back of our license instead of going down to get a new one to update your address.

His license was suspended because of an unpaid fee.

Me car is totaled. The other vehicle is a company pick up truck not totaled.

I spoke with a lawyer but he wants to talk about the drivers injuries. His complaining of stiffness and pain in his back and neck.

So the question is...is my car covered and if he goes in for medical treatment is that covered if he had a suspended license. How was my insurance company not notified when he got suspended....I'm lost.

I want to know if my car is covered before I make a claim and it goes against me and my insurance goes up.

Thanks

Sales Agreements: Can a Dealership Sell a Damaged Car as a Certified Vehicle

My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Illinois (Purchase made in Illinois, Buyer Registered vehicle in Indiana)

I purchased a vehicle in April of 2017 that was advertised as a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle.

When test driving the car I noticed slight vibrations which I was told are just flat spots on the tires from sitting and that they would work themselves out, otherwise it will be fixed because the car is certified. I returned to the dealership the next business day to have them review the vibration. I was informed that the vehicle had 2 bent wheels and blown shock absorbers.

They fixed this issue temporarily until I could return to my home state dealership as I needed to return for school. When I took the vehicle to my home dealership I was informed that there was condensation in the headlights due to the front bumper being pushed into the headlights. They noted that the car appeared to have been in a collision and that this is what likely caused the shitfing of the bumper. The home dealership refused to fix the headlights under warranty and I had to have the selling dealership pick up the car and fix it as well as some unfinished work with the suspension.

I visited another dealership with the vehicle to have it checked out. They informed me that the vehicle had previously had body work done and that the two same wheels were bent. They noted that the alignment and balancing done previously was done wrong and caused major wear on the tires.

The car was sold to me with issues under the promise that it was a certified car of higher quality. The issues have been noted by other dealerships and refused by the selling dealership. The selling dealership confirmed that a vehicle with suspension problems and bent wheels would still be considered certified and would pass the checklist.

Civil Rights Restoration: Denied a Concealed Firearms License Over a Possible Domestic Violence Misdemeanor

My question involves criminal records for the state of: Georgia

Hello,

I applied for my WCL in the state of Georgia, and i was denied for the history pulled indicating a Battery (Misdemeanor), Disposition: Informal Probation; Additional Information: "Need final disposition and police report, possible domestic violence.

I do not recall this event. I was 17 years old when it apparently happened. I was never placed, to my knowledge, on "informal probation" for this event or went to court. (I was on information probation for misdemeanor possession of marijuana which I completed as a minor).

The denial letter is initialed by the judge indicating that "the applicants criminal history information is incomplete' therefor the court cannot determine whether the applicant has met all the qualifications required under Georgia Law and the Applicas is inlegible to receive a weapons carry license pursuant to the following provision(s) of law: ....Any person who has been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence."

The only thing i can think of is that my father is extremely bipolar and the cops have been called multiple times in my teen years for verbal abuse reasons, and I'm not sure if my father accused me of violence towards him in one of these events. He always because extremely deluded and manic in his fits of rage. He has a history of domestic violence, abuse and resisting arrest. He and I had the same first and last name - is it possible his records where pulled? I have since changed my last name as an adult.


Is it possible to appeal this case to the court in Georgia? I have a federal background check i received this year when applying for a passport and it does NOT show this charge of battery. I am now successful and manage my in-law's family retail business, married, and hold a clean record for the last 5+ years as an adult (i'm 24 now). I don't drink, smoke or do any drugs and It's really a shocker to see that my background has this life effecting flaw.

Any suggestions are deeply appreciated.

Creation: Do Neighboring Property Owners Have the Right to Use a School Playground

My question involves real estate located in the State of: California.

For over 20 years (which is how long I've lived here so it has probably been in place for much longer), our neighborhood has had access to playgrounds and fields at an adjacent school. The property is owned by the local school district and used to be a public school (but it is now leased and used by a private Christian school). Our nearest park is over a 1/2 mile away so we have traditionally used this space as park space during non-school hours and events. This means, use of the playground facilities for neighborhood children to socialize and play and use of the basketball courts and fields for exercise and play.

Recently, the private school decided to install a gate that blocks the access to the playgrounds and fields from our neighborhood. They have stated that they have done this for safety reasons but I think there could be a solution that addresses all concerns (e.g. a gate that is locked only during school hours).

Is there any legal recourse for the neighborhood to claim a prescriptive easement for access to the playgrounds/fields?

Thanks for any assistance as we are sad to lose this benefit for our family and neighbors.

Child Neglect: Is It Considered Neglect

My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: WV


I know someone who's boyfriend is a trucker and she has 2 children fifteen and thirteen, she has been leaving the children all week by themselves and only coming home Saturday and Sunday and leaving again. The children are missing school, and doing whatever they want, "smoking, running the town" something which she already allows them to do.. last week they had the water shut off and the kids went all week without a shower, or working water in the home. It's still off it's been a week and a half. She's been leaving them alone all week every week for at least 3 weeks. I'm not sure if CPS would do anything even if notified.. I personally consider it neglect and have been especially bothered because the children come to my house asking for rides from my husband, and wanting us to wash their laundry. We do this for them, because they have no other way of it being washed..

Keeping Mail Out of Reach for Disabled Person

My question involves a person located in the state of: Nebraska

I'm a disabled vet and I'm living back at home with my folks for a lack of any other options. Usually it's ok, but now my step-father who is often at home with me is refusing to go outside to get the mail. I can't go outside to get it on my own. The mailbox is like 4 feet from the door but he just lays there on the couch and tells me to get it myself, which isn't possible for me and he should certainly know it. I paid for fast shipping so needless to say this is pretty frustrating.

It's not so much that I'm going to take legal action, but I thought it was an interesting predicament to be in from a legal standpoint. Also it might light a fire underneath him if I could say it's a federal crime!

Use and Enforcement: Utility Encroaching into Easement

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

I have just moved into a property where one side has a 15' easement for public utilities. Next to one part of the easement is a pumping station owned by Cal Am Water utility. Recently they've been making changes to their pumping station as new homes are being built in the area, and as part of the change have encroached about 6' x 25' into the easement on the side of my property with part of a building and a barbed wire-topped fence (they extended their existing fence down the property line out into the easement).

Now I know they have a right to use the property because of the easement, but do they have a right to actually encroach and fence off part of the easement to include it into their pumping station? If not, what's my recourse?

Thanks
