Speeding Tickets: Trial by Declaration Defense for Violating CVC 22349(B)

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: California. I am looking for feedback on my draft of the letter that I plan to send for a trial by declaration that contests the ticket. Should I use a different defense other than "I was passing"? If not, are there other parts of the CVC that would help me strengthen my current defense? If it helps, the ticket says I was doing 72 in a 55 on CA State Route 166 (two lane road).

Here is my current draft:



I respectfully submit this written declaration to the Court pursuant to CVC 40902. I plead Not Guilty to the charge of violating CVC 22349(b).

The facts of my case are as follows: when the officer came into my view, I had recently passed another car. This car was going under the speed limit (their speed was fluctuating between 45-50 mph, and several other cars were also stuck behind them following me) given that the posted speed limit was 55 mph. I determined their speed by pacing them since I was stuck behind them for several minutes before I came to a passing zone. Once I was in the passing zone, I checked for oncoming traffic, saw that there was none, increased the speed of my vehicle, and passed the other car. So, the reason for my increased speed was because I had sped up to pass another car once I came to a marked passing zone and it was safe to do so. Soon after passing, I was stopped by the CHP Officer whose I.D. number is #### and charged with violating CVC 22349(b).

CVC 21751 states: “On a two-lane highway, no vehicle shall be driven to the left side of the center of the roadway in overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction unless the left side is clearly visible and free of oncoming traffic for a sufficient distance ahead to permit such overtaking and passing to be completely made without interfering with the safe operation of any vehicle approaching from the opposite direction.” I do not think it is fair to convict me for passing another vehicle given that I did so safely and in a marked passing zone.

The Basic Speed Law, CVC 22350, states: “No person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property.”

Where I was stopped, State Route 166 is a well-maintained highway, and is quite safe to travel on at a speed slightly above the posted limit given that the weather was favorable (clear, sunny, and dry) and traffic was very light at the time of my stop. Since I safely passed the slow vehicle in front of me, I contest that my speed in excess of the posted limit was necessary, reasonable, and prudent pursuant to the Basic Speed Law.

Section (b) of Speed Law Violations, CVC 22351, states: “The speed of any vehicle upon a highway in excess of the prima facie speed limits…or established as authorized in this code (includes the 65 mph max speed limit) is prima facie unlawful unless the defendant establishes by competent evidence that the speed in excess of said limits did not constitute a violation of the basic speed law at the time, place, and under the conditions then existing.”

The favorable road and weather conditions existing at the time and place of my stop combined with my safe passing of the car that I was stuck behind, made the speed I was traveling at the time of my stop Safe and Reasonable for conditions. As such, I know that I was not in violation of the basic speed law at the time and place of my citation and, pursuant to CVC 22351(b), contest that my speed at the time of my traffic stop was therefore not per se unlawful.

I trust in the Court’s fairness in this matter and believe that my citation should be dismissed in the interest of justice.

If the court does not find in my favor in this case, I request a Trial de Novo.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct.

Failure to Yield: Accused of Causing Accident

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

Hello, While at work one late afternoon in August, I was driving a van for my employer, driving disabled clients out to dinner. My co worker was in van with me, and a second van from my employer was behind us transporting a couple more clients. We came to stop sign. I stopped van. I looked both directions. I saw a truck up the road to the left; the truck was far away-I barely saw it it was so far away. I pulled out onto the road, taking a left, when the truck hit van head on. The truck must have been speeding very fast. It flipped 3 times and totaled the front of van. Thankfully clients were ok, my co worker and myself walked away with minor injuries.

The police came to the scene. The police man did not talk with me, or coworker. He did not talk with coworkers in van that was behind us. The policeman came to ambulance I was in with a ticket telling me he was citing me for speeding. I was not speeding. I told him that. He walked away. A police woman came over next and gave a citation, this time telling me I failed to yield. There was no yielding to do.

I have asked for trial because police wrote report starting accident was my fault, my employer received copy of report. Police did not ask or interview me, my coworker in van, my coworkers in van behind us. All witnesses to accident. I want to clear my name. I received a letter in mail from state, saying complaint on my Lisence next has been rescinded. I don’t know what means. Can anyone help me?

Traffic Lights, Signs and Controls: "Failed to Stop at a Stop Sign"

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

On my way home from school, I approached a stop sign that is commonly rolled through since it's at the bottom of a hill and traffic is usually only going one way especially after school lets out. I got to the stop sign, stopped behind the car that was currently at the sign - which made a rolling stop - then to my knowledge stopped at the sign, looked both ways, then made a right turn since there was no traffic coming the other way. I didn't see a cop car parked at all.

After the turn I saw police lights behind me and I wasn't sure if he was pulling me over since I didn't think I had made any infraction of the traffic laws. I continued past two other stop signs, of which are close to one another since they are at the entrances to the middle school, then I pulled over once I was past the no parking zone signs. The officer came up to my vehicle and informed me I didn't stop completely at the first stop sign. I didn't argue with him since I knew it wouldn't be worth it and handed over my license and registration. He processed the ticket and informed me that he could not give me a warning since he's on a special detail at the school for a "Click it or Ticket" detail. I already have 3 points on my license from a previous speeding ticket about 8 months ago. Because of this, I still have a Junior driver's license even though I'm 18. This ticket would give me another 3 points that would cause me to have my license suspended for 90 days. I cannot afford to lose my license as driving is my only available method of transportation to and from work. I cannot walk since it is illegal to walk down the highway where my workplace is located.

The officer recommended I request a hearing for the ticket so he can work with me so that I will be prevented from losing my license. My question is what are the legalities of the click it or ticket detail he was on, and how can I fight this case when the only witnesses are myself and the officer. Like I said before, to my knowledge I came to a complete stop and I know I did not pull out in front of any oncoming traffic.

Private Water Well Agreement Breach of Contact

My question involves real estate located in the State of: California
I purchased property in 2010 and signed with sellers of property a shared “Two party water well agreement.
Agreement states:
Both parties are responsible for one half of all well expenses,upkeep and taxes .
It is understood that both users of water system will share in the electricity bill.
(User is the one actually using water.)
This agreement shall be binding on all successors and assigns of both parties and runs
Pertinent to the land.If any party permanently cease and abandon their respective share,
That share reverts to the other share holder equally.
Grantor of the above described well and the well site, together with all water lines and storage tanks
Connected thereto will not be liablein any respect whatsoever for failure of
SUSPENSION,quality,purity,or diminishing of water supply service or pressure.

I have paid entire electric bill and have had well serviced at my own expense for over 4 1/2 years the renters
Have been given bills by certified mail and refused receipt.
Owner of property refuses to give me their mailing address.
Renters use water for a mobile car washing business and have over 4 people living there
Vs just me.
Based on well share verbiage
Abandon their respective share 4 1/2 years should indicate that have abandoned their interests in performance
Of agreement and I’m not liable for suspension of service.
It would seem to me that at this point a letter of intent to shut water off within say 30 days of pay in full would be fair and I’m not responsible for loss of income for their
Business or any damages .
If I’m all wet (pun) intended could someone chime in.
This has been very stressful and burdensome to say the least.
Thanks in advance.

Title Transfer from Owner's Son (Passed Away) to Me

Hello, well I'm kind of in a sticky situation. In July I bought a car from someone who was selling it because his Mother had passed away. This was back when I lived in CA, so it's a CA registered vehicle.

It went as followed.

When I bought the car from him we both went to the DMV and tried to get the title in my name. The CALIFORNIA DMV told us that we couldn't do the transfer because we have to wait 41 days after the owner passing.

The problem was that I was planning on moving at the end of the month to Arizona, so I wouldn't be able to do the title transfer there so he gave me an original copy of his Mother's Death Certificate to take with me. So I planned on doing the title transfer here when I went to go register the car and get Arizona plates.

Today I tired to do the title transfer with the title filled out and the death certificate. The Arizona DMV told me that because the person who owned the car died, her son would have to first apply for the title himself or if they have more than $50,000 in assets they can sign off as a representative and then I can transfer it.

I called him today, haven't got word back yet and scared that he won't call back, I'm fuzzy on the details as to the options I have.

Is their anything I can do? I have the original title with an original Death Certificate.

Thank you for your time!

Trusts: Individual Accounts to a Trust Account

My question involves estate proceedings in the state of: California

So after a living trust was created, I was instructed to change my individual accounts and my financial institutions into a trust account. This is because in case where I become incapacitated, my successor can manage the account.

I don’t understand why I’m not supposed to change the retirement accounts into trust accounts? If I become incapacitated, doesn’t someone also need to manage them?

Is there a disadvantage to putting the trust as beneficiary in the retirement account as opposed to naming a person as a beneficiary?

Title History: How Screwed Am I (Seller's Failure to Probate)

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

So I found this land I wanted to buy. It was a dream come true. The online data said the owner was local so I knocked on her door and got the story:

The land was originally owned by her "Father" and "Auntie", 50/50. "Father" gave "daughter" his half in 1993, 11 years before he died. That half is well settled and all is well. If you look up the deed today it says Daughter and Auntie own the property, except that Auntie died in 1996 without transferring anything. Her children (Cousins A, B, C & D) would or should each own an 8th but didn't feel a need to probate her will IF she even had one. Her oldest, Cousin A died in 2012, and even his will hasn't been probated. His "Wife" thinks she owns his 8th of the property. This is assuming either Auntie or Cousin A had wills. What little I have found about limits on probating a will say 1-3 years.

The property is just sitting unused at the end of a street with no buildings, no residents, and the family has no interest in doing anything with it. They've discussed selling it, but none of them really need the money, nor want contact a realtor and deal with the hassles associated with selling it because the property isn't worth enough for any of them to bat an eye at. The tiny bit of taxes they pay doesn't bother anyone's accounts, and they apparently just don't care to deal with anything that could be a hassle, like executing wills, probate, etc.

Now the question, since no one's been probated, who owns the second half of the property? If you look up the deed today, it says Daughter and Auntie.

Daughter clearly owns 50%. Is Auntie's 50% even valid anymore? If so, who owns it? They've all been paying the taxes, the lien searches have all come back clear, but my lawyer says it's been stuck in title search for two months now.

The choices are:
A: Daughter owns 100%, because no one probated Auntie's will since she died 22 years ago.
B: Daughter owns 50%, Cousins B, C & D also own 16.66%, because Auntie's will could still be probated, but Cousin A has passed before the will could be executed.
C: Daughter owns 50%, Cousins B, C & D and Wife own 12.5% because that's what they believe.
D: [Insert legal insanity here]

Thanks!

How to Get Sex Offense Removed or Expunged

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Maryland
My fiancee lived in Tennessee with his wife and her kids. (Not his children) his wife was on drugs and she really did not take proper care of her kids. She had a daughter and her daughter would constantly hang on my fiancee, follow him, say she was going to marry him, once she was 12yrs old. My fiancee told his wife she needed to correct her, because he never had say over her kids, but his wife actually did nothing if anything she pushed her daughter more on him. She would tell my fiancee to go give her daughter shampoo or a towel when her daughter in shower and he would tell her no you do it. His marriage was falling apart, he moved back to md, on and off for years. He finally went back to TN, only to be friends with his wife help her out with bills. He slept on sofa they had really nothing but a great friendship, but a disasters ready to start. Her daughter 17, one month from 18, still would hang, and follow him. One night a party happened drinking, drugs was present. His wife in her bedroom doing drugs with her daughter mind you a month from 18, finally the daughter came out to my fiancee, with bootie shorts on started to remove her shorts and sit on top of him. After the incident happened, the next day he told his wife what happened, she said she knew was going to happen eventually. He told her best he moved back to md, so he did. He told her to get off the drugs or she would die. My fiancee was not into drugs, but yes he drank here and there. He got to md trying to forget what happened, til a call came that the daughter was pregnant. They extradited him back to TN. They got him with rape and or insist. He got 6yrs probation and life on md state registry. The daughter had child but put up for adoption, he was tricked to sign up his rights, they said he had to. So he's never saw his child, or does not communicate with daughter. He's in md, and there's no communication at all. His wife died a year later from overdose. My fiancee takes full blame, he was older, he raised this girl. I been with him almost 6yrs, of course he has not reoffended. He's done his probation, classes and we have a very happy life together. But how can he be removed off the registry, and any one no of any one to contact to get his life time offense removed or expunged. We have hard time finding a place to live, due to the MD state registry post your pic, and address along with his charges. This is wrong, they make you a target not only to to him, but his new family. People do make mistakes, don't get me wrong, I don't approve of his past, but I made a long story actually short. But it's not right someone can have sex with a child of 2 and they get off the registry, but a girl one month of 18 can't. I have a daughter not by my fiancee, and he's been more of a dad to her then her own. He hates what he allowed happen. He has ask God for forgiveness. I just like names Iike name of groups or what I can do to guide him in right direction to get him off the registry.

Inattentive Driving Ticket; Contesting

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

I am not the ticketed driver, but a direct witness, asking for my brother who is the ticketed driver. We were in a car accident, he was driving, no injuries to any involved. Traffic came to a sudden stop and my brother rear ended the driver in front of us. He tried to stop, but his car does not have ABS and we were on a downhill slope.

The police officer on the scene (arrived after the accident) ticketed my brother an inattentive driving citation for $136. I was in the passenger seat and can testify that he was paying attention, he was not using his phone, and was not playing any music. Before we hit the back of the car we were even discussing the fact that cars were slowing down and may stop, while my brother began to slow down. We also had the police officer measure the skid marks my brother’s car left as he tried to slow down; they measured 81.9 feet.

He plans to contest the ticket and I am willing to testify as a witness.

His question is how much a citation has to be to be assigned an attorney, or if it’s worth hiring a lawyer for.

One Parent Won’t Allow Child to Get a Drivers License

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

My husband wants to let his child get a drivers license as she’s going to be 16 next month. His ex is refusing the only reason is because it’s “dangerous” And she doesn’t want the child to get hurt. Is this something that he would go to court to have a judge decide on ? We believe the true reason is to retain control of the minor and so it makes it difficult for her to see us any extra time that she may want to. We believe the true reason is to retain control of the minor and so it makes it difficult for her to see us any extra time that she may want to She is a straight a student going to AP classes has never been in trouble. We already told the X we would pay for drivers Ed classes but she still refuses. If this is something that I judge can make a decision on what types of forms Would we need to fill out?

Local Taxes: L.a. County Real Property Sale

In a conventional home sale in L.A. County, with a reputable escrow company used for the sale.....EXACTLY which entity is responsible for filing the new deed? Buyer? Seller? Or the Escrow company? If the deed is properly filed, does the name change from seller to buyer necessarily automatically occur?
***I ask because 7 months after the home sale the County of L.A. Tax Assessor's office is still sending me, the seller, tax statements. The County obviously hasn't made the name change and cleared my name from the property.

Utility Easements

My question involves real estate located in the State of: Michigan I have a 2003 deed that shows NO utility easements. I was shown a 1968 deed of the same property that has a clause that states :EXCEPTING & RESERVING all minerals, mineral rights and reservations, and any other rights, reservations , road dedications etc.of previous record of title. Also reserving the right of ingress and egress , to enter upon, construct , maintain and use roads , trails and transmission lines as a means of access and service to properties lying neighboring or adjacent. Title insurance Co. does not understand clause. Register of Deeds checked my property back to 1938 , showing NO utility easements. Register of Deeds also does not understand clause.

What to Do About Slamming Door Next to My House

My question involves court procedures for the state of: WI

I live in a house that I've owned for 19 years, and it's located just 3 feet from the house next door which is a rental property. The previous tenants had installed a makeshift door on the back porch where there wasn't one before, and it has its problems. It's just an old closet door that the people put hinges and an interior slide lock on. It has no doorknob, no latch and no handle on the outside. When the tenants leave, the door is left swinging freely, and the wind slams it against the door frame really hard--hard enough to make the dishes in my kitchen cabinets rattle. It also wakes me up early in the morning as soon as they leave for the day. To say that it really gets on my nerves to hear that door slam a couple times every minute for the whole day would be an understatement.

Normally, this seems like something to talk to the tenants about. However, they can't really do anything about it since there is no latch for them to use, and they wouldn't be able to lock it from the outside without locking in someone who is inside. Plus, they aren't authorized to make changes to the property anyway. The landlord would need to do that. So I emailed the landlord, politely describing the problem and suggested installing a magnetic door catch to keep the door closed when the people are away. It's been 2 weeks, and he never responded.

The next option I thought of was informing the police as an excessive noise complaint. It wouldn't be against the tenants since it's more of a defect of the property itself, which is the responsibility of the landlord to maintain.

A last option I was considering was to just go over there when they're gone and install a magnet on the door and a flat metal piece in the door frame to act as a magnetic door catch. Hopefully, the tenants would be happy and I would have some quiet. But then again, if they ask the landlord about it, it would be obvious that I put it there since I had suggested to the landlord that he put a magnetic catch in place. I could probably get in trouble for doing that since it's not my property.

So what is the law regarding a very close neighbor's door swinging in the wind and slamming all day because it can't be securely closed? Who is ultimately responsible for it?

Social Security Issues: Conspiracy

I qualified 2 years ago and got a lump sum of $20,000 and now its up to around $25k. My former payee barely gave me one monthly check and is sitting on the lump sum they refused to pay my rent or give me any of my deserved money. I have now switched to a new payee and it seems like they're doing the same thing. Ssi told me they have been freezing my account due to my recent incarcaration in prison. I have never been to prison. When i told them this they said it was a mental health facility. I have never been to that either. I think something weird is going on with the government and my money and this is all past due backpay that i am entitled to. I think i need help.

Moving Out: Getting Out of a Mobile Home : Month to Month

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

So 18 years ago I worked with a guy who said he'd do a month to month- rent to own deal on his mobile home in Michigan. I did that and bought the home years ago. I was basically subletting. The Mobile home park (Holiday Estates in Canton, MI - stay away from them) asked me after a few years if I wanted a lease and I believe I did one for 1 year per their request. and it ended years ago. I've been month to month there for over 15 years. The last 3 years have been a nightmare since this new manager harrasses everyone and I moved out. Now she says I cant sell my mobile home until I get new doors, new paint, new skirting, remodel it, etc and it will be thousands to do this. She complains it doesnt look new - well duh its older like most of them in this park. Its $2500 for someone to tear it down. In the meantime I have to pay lot rent she says until its gone. I want out of this thing wihtout spending thousands. Can she do this? Can't I just sell to someone or give to someone? What if I sell and its someone the park doesnt approve of - so what- what can happen to me? I'm not bound by any lease . I dont care about the house. I just want out without having an eviction on my record and oweing them a bunch of money. Any help is appreciated.

Establishment: Not Sure on Next Step of a Restrainingorder Judge Granted Our Son Against a Classmate

My question involves restraining orders in the State of: Minnesota

Hello. I posted this under Children. But as I researched this site more, I found Orders of protection. Not sure where this question should go (under Family Law or under Children) This is regarding my 13 yo and we filed a restraining order against a classmate of his.
We (Mom and dad) filed a restraining order against a classmate of our 13 yo. The classmate was suspended for school for 3 days due to his last bullying episode before we filed. (Bullying has been going on for about a year now). Another student also filed a restraining order against this kid. I will call him "bully'. Mind you, since the bullying episode that pushed us to file a restraining order, the Bully continued to harass our son, the other child, and even more children. Physically assaulting one (while they were all together), but that child did not press charges. A request by Bully's parents was made to move court date out. Finally went to court. The Honorable Judge gave three options for Bully's mom (no attorney's were involved). 1. Argue the case. Accept the Judge's ruling. 2. Admit guilty and accept the restraining order. 3. Not admit guilty but still accept the restraining order. Bully's mom picked 1. Argue the case. Accept the Judge's ruling. This was in our case and the other child's restraining order case. Our case went first, we argued the case, gave only one item of proof and that was enough, the Judge ruled Harassment and granted 2 year restraining order. The other child would have been next. The Honorable Judge continued to try to tell Bully's mom this is not a criminal case. He gave her 3 options and said he didnt know why on earth she wouldn't pick 3, as he kept saying Option 3. So she decided to pick option 3 for the next case (not admit quilty but accept the order). She then asked how to appeal our case where the Judge ruled Harassment/guilty. The Judge said it was her right. She can hire an attorney. However, it costs $500 or more to appeal and he has never seen one overturned. So that night, our son and the other child were served restraining orders (guessing retaliatory and unwarranted). Bogus accusations are in it, no physical backing evidence, all hearsay. Our order was granted based on solid evidence, proof, and admission by the child and mother that yes, it was Bully. So, to my question. We will have to miss work again, lost wages/vacation time, our son miss school, we will have to hire an attorney which will cost money. Can we ask for lost wages and attorney fees for when we have to go to court again on this bogus order and the appeal (if we would have to go for that as well?)? If the Judge already set the order of guilt and granted the restraining order of maximum 2 years, what do we do next for the Bully's mom filing a bogus order against our son and trying to appeal the Judge's ruling? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you

Our case went first, we argued the case, gave only one item of proof and that was enough, the Judge ruled Harassment and granted 2 year restraining order. The other child would have been next. The Honorable Judge continued to try to tell Bully's mom this is not a criminal case. He gave her 3 options and said he didnt know why on earth she wouldn't pick 3, as he kept saying Option 3. So she decided to pick option 3 for the next case (not admit quilty but accept the order). She then asked how to appeal our case where the Judge ruled Harassment/guilty. The Judge said it was her right. She can hire an attorney. However, it costs $500 or more to appeal and he has never seen one overturned. So that night, our son and the other child were served restraining orders (guessing retaliatory and unwarranted). Bogus accusations are in it, no physical backing evidence, all hearsay. Our order was granted based on solid evidence, proof, and admission by the child and mother that yes, it was Bully. So, to my question. We will have to miss work again, lost wages/vacation time, our son miss school, we will have to hire an attorney which will cost money. Can we ask for lost wages and attorney fees for when we have to go to court again on this bogus order and the appeal (if we would have to go for that as well?)? If the Judge already set the order of guilt and granted the restraining order of maximum 2 years, what do we do next for the Bully's mom filing a bogus order against our son and trying to appeal the Judge's ruling? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you

Medical Issues: Can Employers Question Your Reason for FMLA Absence

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

My employer has instituted a policy of questioning the purpose of intermittent FMLA leave AND whether the absence is for an appointment or an episode. They are also now requesting medical/ doctor's notes for all FMLA leave. Of course, depending on your medical condition and reason for FMLA, not all leave will result in a doctor's visit. Does this currently violate any FMLA, DOL, or HIPAA laws or regulations? Thanks.

Medical Malpractice: Misleading Treatment

My question involves malpractice in the state of: CA

Hello everyone, my question is about a medical bill. I had seen a specialist for cluster headaches and the doctor asked if I had a night guard and how old it is (for grinding teeth). She told me it was due to be replaced and she could get my medical insurance to pay for it so I agreed.
My next appointment she did the molds and I signed a paper agreeing to pay what my insurance doesn't.
I saw my dentist soon after and was told the night guard is fine and does not need replacing. I have since received a bill for the new one for $900 after insurance. I have yet to do the fitting appointment and pick up the new guard.
I feel upsold and misled, is that at all enough standing to back out of this? I have spoken to the doctor and she is not letting me out. I have never been in this position with a doctor before. What recourse do I have? Thank you

Subleases: Subtenant's Rights with Regard to (Purported) Master Tenant

My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California (Alameda County)

This one seems quite complicated -- but I'm sure you landlord/tenant attorneys hear that all the time!

My sister arguably** entered into a one-year lease on a house in Castro Valley, an unincorporated town within Alameda County. The lease allows for up to three people to live in the house. My sister (hereafter "Sis") inherited one presumed subtenant from a prior master tenant and, with the landlord's approval, rented a room to another subtenant. Everyone in the house pays their rent to Sis and she forwards it to the landlord (hereafter "Landlord"). Castro Valley has no rent control ordinance or provision for relocation expenses, as far as I can tell.

**I say that Sis arguably entered into the lease because although she initialed the pages of the lease agreement, she never signed it. Which leads to my first questions: is the lease valid and enforceable? Is Sis a master tenant?

Returning to the tale of woe:

Several months into Sis's tenancy, Landlord informed her that the "inherited" subtenant (hereafter "Trouble") had gone to the zoning board to find out if she was living in an illegal unit. Lo and behold, she is indeed -- and the zoning board has now hit Landlord hard with fines that accrue on a daily basis as long as Trouble continues to live in the unit. Trouble has commenced complaining to Landlord and Sis about mold in the unit (there appears to be none) and about people ostensibly using chemicals in the plumbing which adversely affect her allergies. She also appears to be sending herself certified mail with Landlord's return address on it. That shoe has not yet dropped.

Landlord, who is disabled and lives on a low income, went into panic mode. Landlord informed Sis that Landlord has no reasonable choice but to evict Sis and all of the subtenants so that Landlord can bring the illegal unit up to code. Several days later, Landlord suggested to Sis that Sis break the lease early without penalty rather than allowing herself to be evicted, as an eviction could ruin her credit and her ability to rent elsewhere. Based on Landlord's advice, Sis sent Landlord email stating that she "needs" to break the lease as of December 1st and that she hopes that Landlord will not penalize her. Landlord responded to Sis by email, stating that she "accepts [Sis's] notice"that she is ending the lease. Landlord also advised Sis to inform her subtenants that they must leave the premises by December 1st. Sis has done so, although so far only by email.

Further questions:

-- What rights (if any) does Trouble have against Sis?

--Would Sis be in better shape if she allows herself to be evicted? Can she still do so?

--Does Sis have the right to terminate utilities on December 1st when she vacates the premises
?


Both Sis and I would truly appreciate any words of wisdom that you can offer!

Heirs and Beneficiaries: Inheritance Rights of Biological Children

First time forum member/poster. Not sure of any rights and looking for feedback. Situation: My biological father (married to my mother at time of my birth and is listed as my father on my birth certificate) was never in my life. My mother divorced him after my birth (1-2 months old) in 1971. Born in WA State; divorce filed in CA. I finally found my biological father, but he passed in 2011. He remarried to the woman that became his widow. From what I know, everything went to her upon his passing. She ended up passing in 2016, and it is my understanding everything then went to her sister, brother and possibly niece and nephew. My biological father never had any other children than myself; thus, he and the woman he remarried (after my mother) never had children. I was able to connect with my biological father’s only two living relatives - a half brother and half sister (thus, my half uncle and half aunt). They informed me that his house had been paid in full and there was still money in his 401K that they felt I should get a portion. This has been all overwhelming (the entire process of reconnecting with my paternal side of my heritage and talk about inheritance). My only intent had been to learn about my paternal side. It is clear there is not a good relation between my biological father’s in-law family and his half siblings. I was told that my biological father’s widow did in fact know I existed, but the widow’s sister told my biological father’s half sister she herself wasn’t aware of me (which my aunt does not believe is true). I am unaware of any will at this stage, but even though I was told I was always thought of by my biological father...the nature of the divorce and me not being in his life was something he never wanted to discuss. As a result, I fully expect there was no reference to me in any will (if one even existed) and/or listed as a beneficiary of any kind. Because his half siblings say my biological father would have wanted to meet me (again; as he knew me my first month of life but not after) and know me (as he always wanted to)...they told me this about his inheritance. I have zero expectation of any inheritance (as finding out who he was and where I come from was my only intent), but I am curious if I would have any rights at this stage. The half siblings feel at a minimum I should be able to have his Purple Heart and Memorial Flag. I figure I don’t have any right as everything he had went to his widow...then she passed (and I hadn’t found my biological father at such time)...she was able to assign whomever she wanted to be her beneficiary of what she/they then had. In also figure there is a statute of limitation for this type of thing as well, but not sure if any potential contesting of any assets and/or belongings. Thank you.

Debt Collectors: Terminating Car Lease

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for some help.

In Jan 2018 I signed a lease with Volkswagen Credit for 48 months. Because I was an international student and I can only stay in US for couple years if I don't get a working Visa. I told my agent that I might need to get out of my lease early. He told me that there's a 'buy-in program' so they will take my car back. He said that there would be a little fee charged and it would be very easy to transfer/end the lease.

Because of my Visa, I had to exit US before Sep 2018. I went to my dealer in July before I left and they asked me for 8k for the 'buy-in program'. I couldn't afford it and wanted to terminate the contract. So they helped me listing my car in the market. I have been waited for more than 3 months but no one is taking over my lease. And I'm paying the monthly payment still. I cannot afford the payment and the insurance anymore.

The car is no longer beging used anymore since July and it has been parked in my friend's parking lot. I left US and my driver licence is expired already as I'm not able to renew it legally.

I just wanted some help. How should I get out of my lease quickly? Is that legal for the dealer to continue the lease contract with me (I'm no longer legally live or drive in US)? Is that possible for them to ternimate the lease in this case?

Also can someone advise on what will happen if I ask my friend to return the car to the dealer and I stop the payments?

I was so anxious. I didn't have any credit when I first entered US and I got a really good score after 4 years. I don't know how this will impact my score and my future life. Any suggestion/ advise would be appreciated at this point.

Thank you in advance!

Loan Agreements: Customer Asked for Her Money Back

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


So I had a customer goto Navy Federal Credit Union for a personal loan, they didn't qualify for a personal loan so they got an auto loan. At that credit union if you don't provide a title within 90 days the loan gets converted into a personal loan. They brought me the draft for 35k and said they wanted to buy a car that was 42k. On the paperwork with TTL she was going to have to have a down payment of over 9k. After the draft went through and it was in my account she came back up here and said she couldn't come up with the down payment and wanted a refund minus the non refundable deposit. After I gave her the refund she explained to me she had non intent of buying the car she just wanted to get the loan and that was the only way. I called and verified with the credit union that I was no liable for the money and that I should give her a refund if she wanted it.


I just need to know if this is considered fraud.


Had I know what she was doing upfront, would that have been fraud?

Custody and Visitation Issues: Stopping Visitation

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

3 years ago I won custody of my son and became the primary parent. Since then, my ex-wife filed for a re-hearing on the case and it was denied, so she then filed an Appeal and after a year in review it was also denied.

Also over the past few years my ex-wife has filed Numerous false motions with the court against me and all have been unfounded or denied and she is doing this just as harassment. Last year she also filed a false claim with DCF and that also was unfounded and dropped and found to have been filed out of malicious nature.

My ex-wife gets time-sharing every other weekend from friday night until sunday night, so about 6 days per month, however during this time all she does is leave my son to play video games and play in his room so its not even quality time spent. My ex-wife also brainwashes and talks negatively to my son about myself and encourages him to do bad in school and activities in hopes it reflects on me. Last year my ex-wife had basically all the holidays so my son ended up spending more time with usual with her, however, his school grades and attitude/behavior went way downhill. My son went from always on the A/B Honor Roll t getting d's and f's on his report cards and finally after 2 report cards of this, he confessed that he was basically threatened to do it by his mom so it would make me look bad and he will be taken from my house and put with her!! However, over the past 3-4 months, he has barely seen her and his behavior is awesome and he is once again back on the A/B Honor roll!! His mother (My Ex-wife) is the common issue here and I am sick of having to constantly deal with it.

My question is, with all of this going on and all the harassment and threats over the past 3 years, what grounds do I have to stop visitation completely and what should be my next move going forward?

Adoption of Children: Foster Parents for Children of Undocumented Immigrants

My question involves adoption law for the State of: Texas

Hello,

I have a theoretical question about a process of adoption. If undocumented parents had a child in the United States, and was therefore legalized by birth, is it possible for an arrangement to be set up with (legal) foster parents to take in the child if the parents are to be deported? Is there a way to bypass the federal foster care system that some of the children would be subjugated to? Thank you!

Towing Off Private Property

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

This morning around 4am i noticed someone taking pictures of my car with a tow truck backing up next to it. As i ran outside the tow truck had my car in the air and I asked what was occurring the security guard said he didn’t see my parking pass. I indicated that i am a resident and i have a lease so i am authorized to park in this lot. He indicated since he didn’t see my parking pass so he was allowed to tow it. I asked did he verify that my car is registered here within the system he indicated he didn’t see a pass so he didn’t have too. I advises my car has been parked here all weekend and i have been a resident for two years why is this no occurring at 4am? He gave no answer, I asked the tow company to release my car and they indicated it was $100 because my car was on the lift. I paid the $100 i also asked if they can confirm that no damages were done to my car. The two representative indicated he took pictures prior to towing. I asked you took pictures in the dark and that confirms there were no damages done? He was unable to answer, released my car and left.

I returned inside and reviewed my leasing agreement it does not indicate icate if a sticker is not displayed my vehicle would be towed and it also indicates only unauthorized cars would be towed.

While outside on my way to the gym I reviewed other cars in the lot and noticed other cars also did not have their passes displayed so i am unsure why my car was targeted. There was also no notification on my car or any of those that a parking pass was not displayed.

I wanted to know what my legal options are in this situation

Estate Assets and Debts: Can I Sell My Part of the Inherited House

My question involves estate proceedings in the state of: NC

When my father died, all four children jointly inherited the house where my parents had resided. My chronically ill brother moved into the house, and while he was alive all the siblings paid for household upkeep/taxes/insurance/etc expenses, evenly divided. My sick brother passed away last year, and the plan was to sell the house now that there is no need to keep it. My sister is the one putting the time in to find a buyer, and she is an expert in the field, so it is reasonable that she be in charge of that, but nothing is happening so far, and I cannot continue to be burdened with these expenses now that my brother has passed. Is it possible for me to sell my part of the house to another party who has an interest in real estate? Otherwise, how can I remove myself from this situation? Am I legally bound to pay expenses for a house that my siblings are in no hurry to sell (they are in higher-income economic situations). This whole affair has caused a lot of stress and I am eager to finally resolve it in a dignified manner. Obviously I would benefit from one-third of the money from a sale, but at this point I cannot manage the payments and there is no end in sight, and I have no choice but to find a way out. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Civil Rights Issues: Two Party Consent State vs One Party Federal Law

My question involves a law in the State of: Florida. I am aware that Florida is a two party consent state, meaning that it requires the consent of at least two people in a party for the recording of audio. To my knowledge, Federal law is one party consent. My question is: since the Federal government is above state law, can you simply appeal to the supreme court on federal law if you are prosecuted by a two party consent state for recording audio of another person in your personal proximity in a public place?

Juvenile Court: Violation of Curfew Ticket. City Law in Question. Wanting to Move for Dismissal

My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Ohio

Here we have, K.A, 17yr old student at MCCC. He currently lives with his sister, S.A and has been since she obtained guardianship of him when he was 8yrs old.He's currently a senior and is a merit roll student earning his diploma and certifications in Public Safety. This is his 2nd yr. He currently works full time at Taco Bell while attending school full time. He participates in extracurricular such as track through his school and our county Sheriff Explorers program. He has no criminal priors.

On the night in question, K.A was given permission by me, his guardian, to go to the laundry mat which is approx .9 miles from our home and approx 12:30am. Most days, K.A attends school then works until various hours ranging from 8pm-11pm. The night in question K.A attended school then worked until approx 10pm, napped until approx 12 and asked to stop at the corner gas station to get a drink and then to do laundry (our washer is broken so he washes at the laundormat and dries at home so he would have been gone approx 30 minutes) and was given permission by me. K.A was pulled over after leaving the gas without his headlights on. K.A has a minor speech impairment which causes him to mumble his words which made the officer suspicious that K.A. was under the influence of something. K.A was given a field sobriety test for approx 45 minutes which he passed and I was then contacted by the dispatch that K.A was currently pulled over and could go home if I followed him because he was in violation of curfew. From my understanding, curfew for teenagers 17yrs or older in Ohio is 1am-5am but apparently our city has their own ordinance and curfew starts at 11pm. I explained this to the officer that I had given him permission because I was not aware that our city has its own law. A ticket was issued anyhow.

Upon doing some researching, I found the following:

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 509.08 (B) OF THE
CODIFIED ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF MEDINA, OHIO
RELATIVE TO CURFEW.
WHEREAS: That Section 509.08(b) of the codified ordinances of the City of Media, Ohio
presently reads as follows:
(b) Curfew Hours.
(1) No minor shall be in or upon any public place Sunday through Thursday during the
following times of night:
A. Between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. for minors fifteen or less years of age.
B. Between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. for minors sixteen or more years of age.
(2) No minor shall be in or upon any public place on Friday or Saturday during the
following times of night:
A. Between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. for minors fifteen or less years of age.
B. Between 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. for minors sixteen or more years of age
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF MEDINA, OHIO:
SEC. 1: That Section 509.08(b) of the codified ordinances of the City of Medina, Ohio shall
be amended to read as follows:
(b) Curfew Hours.
(1) No minor shall be in or upon any public place Sunday through Thursday during the
following times of night:
A. Between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. for minors fifteen or less years of age.
B. Between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. for minors sixteen or more years of age.
(2) No minor shall be in or upon any public place on Friday or Saturday during the
following times of night:
A. Between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. for minors fifteen or less years of age.
B. Between 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. for minors sixteen or more years of age
(3) A minor shall not be in violation of this ordinance if:
A. He is accompanied by his parent, guardian, or an adult person having the legal
care, custody, and control of his person.
B. He is accompanied by an adult person having the permission of one of the persons
mentioned in subsection (A) of this section; or
C. He is going directly to or from any lawful activity, entertainment, or employment
with knowledge and consent of the parent, guardian, or adult person having the legal care,
custody and control of his person. All minors attending functions outlined herein shall be
required to be within the confines of their respective home sites one-half hour after such
function is ended.

SEC. 2: That it is found and determined that all formal actions of this Council concerning and
relating to the passage of this Ordinance were adopted in an open meeting of this
Council, and that all deliberations of this Council and any of its committees that
resulted in such formal action, were in meetings open to the public, in compliance
with the law.
SEC. 3: That this Ordinance shall be in full force and effect at the earliest period allowed by
law.
PASSED: _ _January 9, 2017__ SIGNED: _John M. Coyne, III___
President of Council
ATTEST: ___Kathy Patton_____ APPROVED: January 10, 2017__
Clerk of Council
SIGNED: __Dennis Hanwell______
Mayor
Effective date: February 9, 2017


If I understand this amendment correctly, K.A was NOT in violation of curfew considering that he was "going directly to or from any lawful activity, entertainment, or employment with knowledge and consent of the parent, guardian, or adult person having the legal care, custody and control of his person."

Is this grounds for dismissal?



Sidenote: This may be completely irrelevant but K.A told me that the officer was very rude to him during the traffic stop. Accusing him of being under the influence by making statements like "Oh, what's that in your middle console because I know that's not tea." and other accusatory and aggressive remarks like "why are you shaking?" K.A replied "because he was nervous". The officer respond aggressively "Well you must be doing something wrong if you're nervous." I understand that these laws are put in place to protect my child and others but K.A is a great kid, a great student and this just seems to go above and beyond what it was intended for. A 45 minute field sobriety test, aggressive behavior from the officer...seems like a bit much

My brother passed away last June and when he did his ex refuses to let anyone on his side of the family see the girls. I found out that the girls mother and there grandmother on their moms side is mistreating them. There mom locks them in the house and leaves them there by themselves when she wants to go out or she will take them and drop them off with their grandmother. The oldest gets treated like dirt. They both do but the older one gets it worse. I have begged and pleaded with them to please just let me see them for a little bit. They refuse to let me or anyone else in the family see them. My mother also passed away last December. They weren't even aloud to go to the funeral. I begging please someone help me.

Exclusion of Vehicle

Hi, I'm 22 and live in Wisconsin. Legal documents were signed in Minnesota though.

A month ago I got in a car crash and needed a new two vehicle. My family(using the term loosely) and I went to a local Volkswagen dealership. After some time it was decided that I could get a vehicle if my father co-signed for me which he did. Both him and I are on the car title as well as the loan. The real fun started two weeks after. I came home late one night and sometime in the middle of the night my mother took my keys from my pants her only objective was to take my set of the car keys. My question is what sort of legal recourse can I take to get my keys back? They also won't let me see the title or any of the documentation that was signed at the dealership. My mother told me my father called the bank to inquire about removing me from the loan and title but the bank told him that wasn't possible because the bank currently holds the title to the car as well and the only way to remove me off of any sort of legal documents would be to refinance the car (they can't afford to do that one bit) Again what options do I have here to get use of what is also my property as well. The car hasn't been used since the keys were basically stolen from me and just continues to sit in the driveway. I've paid both the insurance and payments for the vehicle on time as well.

I have a very rough relationship with my parents to taking legal action against them wouldn't be a problem (prefer not to) but I will do what needs be to have use of what is legal my property as well and only way to get to and from work. All I want is my keys back and access to legal documents which are also legally mine as well.



Any sort of help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Federal Taxes: What is the Cost Basis when a Life Estate Ends

My question involves figuring the cost basis for capital gains tax on a sale of an inherited farm.

In 1996 my uncle died and his will left my father a life estate in a farm with me inheriting the farm. Inheritance taxes were paid at the time by the estate.

In 2002, my father died and I became the remainder man of the Life Estate. I sold the farm in 2018 and need to pay the capital gains on the sale. Would my basis for capital gains purposes be the value of the farm at the time of my uncle's death in 1996 or my dad's death in 2002?

A similar issue was posted by Mbrother11 in 2013 but his question was'nt officially answered.

Discrimination: California Prop. Management Harassment of Long-Term Tenants in Rent-Controlled Unit

My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California (Los Angeles) My sister and I signed a lease 25 years ago at a rent-controlled complex in Los Angeles. We opted not to renew the lease many years ago with the current management company because we did not like the new terms. The L.A. Housing Department said we did not have to sign if we did not want to.

A few days ago, a notice appeared on the door indicating an inspection was going to be done the following day. This was short of the required 24-hour notice, but I will let that go. A man and woman appeared at the door stating they were there to do an occupancy check. The woman said they had to get inside the unit and aggressively moved her way into the apartment and asked if there were any pests. I said absolutely not. I asked what was going on, and she said since we had been in the unit a long time, that they had to investigate and make sure everything was by the book. She said my name was not on the lease and that my sister had another address listed somewhere. I corrected the woman stating that my name was in fact on all the leases we ever signed and I could prove it. The woman said they were a big company, were backed by a big lawfirm, and repeatedly used the word "investigate."

When I asked for permission to record this visit, she objected. When I asked if they were going to EVERY apartment, she said they were doing what they needed to do. We are quiet tenants who pay our rent on time every month. We are on a month to month under the terms of a lease of a previous management company.
Every few years, this current management company tries to scare us into signing their lease. I am wondering if there is anything we can do to stop this harassment. They are not going to all apartments. They want long-term tenants out and the woman said as much. Thoughts?

My apologies right off the bat, I don't even know enough about the law to know if this is the correct place to post this. So my apologies if this is the wrong place.

Filing a Complaint: Personal Property Stolen from Private Business Refusing to Provide Insurance Details

My question involves court procedures for the state of: Santa Ana, California

I had my iPhone X stolen from a patient room in a private medical facility in Santa Ana, CA. The patient room is behind a locked door and not in the waiting area. I used the GPS service to triangulate the phone and it showed up near the business on the street and that it had been turned off. I think an employee working at the business stole my phone.

Regardless, as the property was stolen in their private facility I believe I have a claim to have my phone paid for. I have requested insurance information from the business and they are refusing to provide it, so I cannot make a claim. They told me to call the police and that they will cooperate with them, but not provide me with insurance information.

I spent the last hour searching Google for an answer but all that comes up are driving related incidents where the opposing driver refuses to provide insurance, but what about if a private business refuses? How am I supposed to make my claim aside from filing directly against the business in small claims court? Are there any statutory laws that states they are required to provide me with their insurance information (if they have it).

Thank you for your help!

Daniel

Received Tow Lien Papers for a Car I Used to Own

My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of California.

Last year, my ex-boyfriend had our car towed, which was a circus all in its own right. I got it all handled as soon as possible and gave up the car, the car went to auction, and I paid the remaining fees after it got sold in March. But today, I got paperwork from another tow company for the car again. Apparently whoever bought it didn't register it, because it still has my old plates on it, and I'm still the registered owner... which I know is already a big strike against me.

I know absolutely nothing about the auctioning process. I can try to contact the company that towed the car when it was still mine, to see if they have the sale paperwork, or at least if we can see who bought the car. But in the event that that doesn't work, am I still held responsible to pay the lien? Can I go to court with this, either against the tow company or against the person who bought the car?

Webite Lottery

Hi, I've been inspired by cryptocurrency lotteries and run a small web site and want to do similar. It will be using a site based currancy that members can use to buy tickets.. their winnings will be in these tokens.. and they can contact the site admin to have their site tokens converted to either PayPal or bank transfer.. Participants can be world wide. There are some other details involved but that is the main bulk of it.. Can I do thos without getting in trouble? I realize I need to pay taxes on the money I'll be holding onto but I'm just making sure I don't need some kind of license. I don't know where I'd even get one considering the online and global nature of this game.

Landlord Entered Premises Under False Pretense

My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Ohio
I am looking for someone to sublease my house. My landlord has listed it online, and the other day he left a voicemail message stating that he had someone who wanted to walk through the property because they are looking to rent in the area. I agreed to the time frame he provided (4 - 5) and the landlord requested/demanded that I not be present. I have very little trust in this landlord; therefore, I stayed close to the house but out of the landlord's sight. The landlord arrived at 4:20 and left at 4:40. No one viewed the house. When asked about the viewing via phone, the landlord stated that there was interest from this "young couple" but they had five more houses to view. I requested via an email a timeline (what time landlord arrived/left and what time the interested party arrived/left) but have not received a response. Is there anything I can do in regards to this deceit?

Social Security Issues: My Husband Lied

I have 3 children, 2 are disabled and receive a small check each month (under $100 each). I had my income re eval today. Everything went fine, we are very low income and the administrator actually told me they had been grossly under paying me and that it should go up to over $400 each each month with a $9000+ Each back payment due. I hung up astonished.... and then 30 minutes later he called me back to say there is a bank account open in just my husbands name and it had $20k deposited in it last year and there is $3k left in it! I figured it was a mistake so he gave me the account number, but my husband and I have been on the edge of divorce for months so something was nudging me. I just pulled his entire closet apart and found a bank statement. I called him and he said it’s his uncles money, because his uncle couldn’t get a bank account because he has no social security number. I don’t know if I believe him or not, this might be the needle that breaks the camels back and he might be out of my house tonight... but regardless I’m terrified to call the administrator back tomorrow morning. If my kids loose there ssi benefits and thus Medicaid I would have to come up with $1000+ a month for medication and treatments which would easily leave my kids and I homeless. Any ideas on what I should do and what will happen?

How to Record a Second Mortgage

My question involves real estate located in the State of: New Jersey

Hi all. I have what I believe is a simple question. I currently have a mortgage on my house and I also have a promissory note to a private individual. I borrowed $140,000 and executed the note with interest over 10 years. I would like to record this as a second mortgage. I spoke to the county and they said they do not record promissory notes, only mortgages. So can I just find a mortgage form for NJ online, fill that out and bring that to the county for recording? Is that correct and does anything else need to be done? My main interest is to get this recorded as a second mortgage.

Thanks for any help!

Girlfriend of Ex-Husband Overstepping Her Boundaries

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: California. My ex-husband and I for the most part get along fine. We have very few arguments and for the most part are on the same page when it comes to our children. The issue lies in the fact that his girlfriend keeps showing up to things that are meant for parents. I don't have an issue with her going to performances and social type things involving the kids but I don't feel she has a right to be present for things like parent-teacher conferences. I have asked my ex several times not to bring her but she is always there. I have made it very clear that I don't feel she has a right to be there. She doesn't have a say in there education but has several times made it a point to speak her mind when it comes to my children. I have majority custody and they go to school on my side of town. I tend to their every need in general but especially their education. I work with them every day on their homework, I get them ready in the morning, I take them to school, I make their lunches, I do practically everything for them, why should she be present or have a say in anything of that nature? I doubt very seriously that there is any legal recourse for this situation but if there is please let me know. Even just some advice on how to navigate the situation would be helpful. I also have a boyfriend of going on 3 years that 100% agrees that he shouldn't be present for things like parent-teacher conferences, that it's meant for the actual parents.

Resignation: Threatening Emails from Ex Employer

My Question is -

My husbands ex employer has threatened him with Legal action from a company called Greystones Legal. They are starting that they have over paid my husband after his employment was terminated. My husband resigned from the company on 02 July. Still not received any form of P45 from the business or leavers letter. There has been no contact from the business to my husband. They refused to pay him his final salary after he left stating that he had caused damage to a vehicle and that his final salary was the amount it cost to cover it. (Which is hard to believe) The letter states that he has until the 30 of this month to pay the monies back that they paid him 4 month after he left they will take the case to the county courts and charge him court fees.
My husband has never received any letters emails or phone calls from the company he resigned from. We still believe the monies that were paid to him are in fact his final salary that we have been fighting to get paid to him. This is a franchise delivery company. They also stated that they only paid him because their is another employee with the same surname as my husband. Until very recently I worked very close with this company I can say that there is no one that works for NE Business solutions with the same name or surname as my husband. They have never tried to contact my husband and we were notified of this threat in an email from Greystones Legal which was sent at 20:45 at night. No hard copy of the letter has been sent to our home address either. Any help or advice would be greatly received.

Thank you

Settling a Debt: Removing Authorized User and Credit Score

My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: Wisconsin

Not sure if this forum is the right place for this type of question, but perhaps someone with more knowledge of credit scores can give me advice.

I am currently an Authorized User on a credit card, and had no idea I still was on the card. My parents added me as the authorized user back when I went to school the first time to help with emergencies and fuel, and for the last 15 years I was unaware I was still an authorized user and assumed they just took me off when I got a job. I had an unrelated identity theft issue recently that caused me to get more proactive with my credit records, and that's when I found out.

My question is whether or not having myself removed from this card at this time is a good idea or if I should wait.

Some additional information: I have never had a car loan or mortgage (pay in full for cars and rent). I had a student loan debt of less than $10K, but only carried the loan for a little while before inheriting money and paying in full before the grace period expired. My only credit is from credit cards, and my total max credit from my own personal cards is almost identical to the credit limit on the card in which I'm an authorized user (so it effectively doubles credit limit total). I pay off all of my credit cards every month, have never had a late payment, and very rarely ever carry over any balance in a month. However, the authorized user card is essentially maxed out, but it has been open for over 30 years and has never had a late payment, making minimum payments every month.

Will the sudden loss in total credit limit and the loss of a long-history card hurt my score overall when compared with having zero credit utilized every month? I am looking to get a medical school loan in the near future, should I postpone removing myself from this card until after that or do it ASAP?

Thanks!

Divorce: Divorce Consult in Pinellas

My question involves a marriage in the state of: Florida


I need to get some preliminary consultation in Pinellas County, Florida, via email.

The reason for this is a need to keep it confidential. I am retired and absences are noticed more than they would be were I going to a job, and could take time during the day. While divorce is not in immediate, as in ready this week, it is quite probable, after the new year (tax reasons).

I want to ask some preliminaries, especially devoted to protecting my interest, and not making any mistakes that would make the process harder down the road. I don't want to be blindsided as happened to someone with whom I do business and trust. He was plodding along in blissful ignorance, maybe the occasional marital spat, went to get the car's oil changed one day (wife's suggestion, Ha!) and came home to police with restraining orders. I'll be pro-active if I can.

In my mind, the questions are divided into three parts: financial to see if an afterlife is even feasible, background with discussion of obstacles, strategy and nuts and bolts procedure. I don't intend to make it long but, I think some things are best considered when in front of you in total. However, if the financials don't work, the rest is irrelevant.


No, I am not one of those looking for a lot of information free so I can do it myself; I'm willing to pay a fair fee for my questions. I would appreciate one free one, though, for a look at the financials to see if it is even feasible. If there is an issue of alimony, I'm likely sunk. The financials are simple, and there are no children. While I recognize there are no guarantees, I need someone with experience in the Pinellas system with a feel for how the judges react. I understand from my reading that mediation is required as a preliminary, so your experience with the mediators will be helpful.


Please, no-one from another state unless you have the experience here. Even though you are well meaning, I need to deal with the law here, and some issues are different. I don't mean to insult anyone but I can't be distracted.

Home Insurance: Missed Slotted Time to Serve Adjusters After Filing Suit

My question involves insurance law for the state of: Washington

I filed a civil lawsuit against my insurance company for breach of contract, bad faith and violation of the consumer protection act. I was able to timely serve the insurance company but unable to locate the adjusters who I added as defendants until only a few days before the time ran out. My process server did not serve the adjusters in time.

Can I add the adjusters to the existing lawsuit a second time to restart the time to serve only them?

If not what options do I have?

Fences and Walls: Building a Fence Along a Right of Way

My question involves real estate located in the State of: Michigan
I own a piece of property and right of way has been deeded to 3 other properties along the far east edge of the land. One party now wants to put a fence along the west edge of the right of way on my property not defined as right of way. That effectively cuts my access to the right of way portion of my property. Can they do that?
I hold deed to right of way across this property as I also own one of the other pieces of land that uses the access.
Upon my grandmother's death, I purchased her property so now own all of the original property granting right of way.

Probation and Parole: 4 Months Left on Parole and Got Hit As Absconding

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan, My fiance got a operating aid maintaining charge before we met, he was on the run he got caught, the abscond team surrounded my home( that's when I found out about the charge and some of his past) he went infront of the judge apparently he got sentenced the first time to classes and drug court which he absconded from for about 2 years. The judge told him she didnt know if he had changed his life style or was just good at avoiding police but she had a feeling he was bettering himself so she sentenced him to 3-20 in mdoc with 20 days time served with recommendation of bootcamp. He went to quarantine got sent to a prison up north for 3 weeks and then shipped to bootcamp where he completed the 90 day program got out and was put on parole for the remainder of the erd which was the 3 years he was supposed to get off parole on feb 25 2019 well with four months left on his parole on one report date he dropped dirty because someone had given him an adderall and he didnt think about it being an amphetamine he went to jail for one night (got out on a friday) and was suppose to go see his parole officer on Wednesday. well on tuesday he went to see his son and his guardians who came up from Florida and got stuck they couldnt bring him to report or to his house as they stated they would so he didnt have a way to report. his parole officer showed up at his home and of corse he wasnt there she left a note for him to come and see her the next day (a Thursday) he wasnt able to get a ride back home and didnt see the note till saturday he got scared and didnt go report last Wednesday either. so he has been an "absconder" for 13 days He is turning himself in this week. but we are scared and have no idea as to what Repercussions he is looking at. He has been a good parole for 2 years and 1 month with only 4 months left to go. and his parole officer even told him before this that she wished all her parolees were like him and what not. what punishment could he be looking at and what is most likely to happen.

Interstate Issues: If the Father Fights for Taking Child for the Entire Summer, is It Likely He Will Win

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Massachusetts and Virginia

Long story short: I live in Massachusetts with my son where we have lived since he was born 7 years ago. His father lives in Virginia and is a non-custodial parent, though we have no formal agreement. He is listed on my child's birth certificate as the father. For the past 4 years, we have had a good arrangement with switching holidays and his birthday up until now. The father wants me to take my son out of school days ahead of vacation so he can spend time with him because he has to travel. I don't want him to miss school because he was delayed in learning last year. He is now excelling and I want him to keep it up.

The father is also mad because I want our son to go to a camp this summer (for a week) that he is earning through a program he attends during the school year. My son is very excited for his first year of camp and is working hard to earn points for it. His father thinks it's his right to have him the entire summer and does not want him to attend camp. Thus, he is going to file with the court system to take him the entire summer. Does he have any chance of winning?

Traffic Accidents: Traffic Collision with Serious Injuries by Driver with Min Coverage. Any Recourse

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

Hi, a family member was hit as a pedestrian by a motorcycle half a year ago that caused her to lose her leg, and nearly her life.

We retained a well-qualified lawyer who did some investigation for us and found that the guy was still in college and only had the minimum $15k insurance coverage and no other signaficant assets. They also looked to see if the city traffic lights were functioning properly, whether or not he was working at the time or if he had any insurance under his parents but nothing good came out of it. There was suspicion that he was weaving and speeding through traffic and ran a red light before hitting her, but the cops were unable to find any solid evidence to say definitely.

Lawyer says that at this point, there is really nothing that can be done but to take the money. For example, there is no use in suing to garnish his wages due to the additional cost/time for litigation and he can just file for bankruptcy to wipe out his debts.

I just wanted to post here and in other places to see if there was anything that we can do before we sign the settlement papers. I just find it hard to believe that basically there was no punishment/penalty to the driver for such a horrific accident with such great injury caused (at least, how can he still keep his license after this?). I think the cops said that he has been in other accidents before.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Co-Workers: Manager is Sexist

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

Hi,

My manager is very sexist and ocassionally boasts about how he keeps his wife under control and is a rape culture propagator. I am the only female on an all male team in a top banking firm.

I recently got promoted as well and I feel my manager is envious of it. I am always sidelined at meetings and was excluded from many. Excuse being we didn't know. The entire team participates. I complained about his evident behaviour to his direct boss but wasn't taken seriously. HR didn't do anything because I had no witnesses.

What can I possibly do with my team against me?
