Choosing to Not Issue Shares to Founders with Consent

My question involves business law in the state of: Delaware.

We have a C corp in the state of Delaware. It is just me and my friend doing our tech startup as a hobby.

According to our Founder's Agreement the shares delegated to the Founders partially vest as of last year. Can we not issue shares if we both agree? If we issue shares as per the Founder's Agreement, there will be a huge franchise tax for Delaware (around 25% of 5,000,000 shares would partially vest). This would be a burden to our company because it doesn't yet have any revenue. Would the state of Delaware or the IRS object to us not issuing shares even though our Founder's Agreement said we were going to?

Transfer of Title: Transfer of Title After Inheriting

Greetings,

I am hoping that someone can help point me in the right direction. My grandfather passed away from lung cancer and he had a will and a trust. My Mother and my Aunt are the executors of his will. There was no probate because of his trust. He owned a vehicle outright that was not in the will or trust, however, there is a section of the will that explains any assets not in the trust or will can be given to whomever at the sole discretion of the executors of the will. He lived and died in Texas in Dallas County and the vehicle is titled in Texas. I live in Florida and have the vehicle here with me. I went to transfer the title here in Florida, they told me I had to have the title transferred in Texas in my name prior to titling the vehicle in Florida. I spoke to the comptroller office in Dallas county and the director told me that the state of Texas will not issue me a title because I do not own a residence in Texas. I feel as though there must be an error in the State of Florida. Do any of you have any experience with this matter? Thank you in advance for your response.

Custody and Visitation Issues: What Happens when the Gal Disagrees with CPS and Police Recommendations

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

Our GAL is not advocating for the kids.

Ex is abusive toward the kids. This has been documented by photos, restraining orders, police reports, CPS reports, and even some of Ex's own statements. However, Ex denies some of the recent incidents.

There are currently multiple CPS investigations and a police investigation open against Ex. CPS has tried to contact GAL repeatedly over the last few months. CPS wants to halt Ex's visitation until a new supervisor gets approved by the court. This is because abuse is still occurring during supervised visits.

GAL ignores this recommendation and states that she doesn't think Ex is actually abusing the kids. GAL's most recent argument for Ex's innocence is based on a link she found during a Google search about abuse (GAL says this - I'm not just guessing).

GAL has only seen photos of the most recent incident that Ex provided. She says the photos don't match the abuse photos in the Internet article. This is a random Internet article, not a specific article about my ex's actions.

I also have photos and so do the police - they had someone photograph the kids, so it's not like I just handed over my own photos. GAL has not seen or requested any of these although GAL knows they are available.

There are some witnesses available. The kids have also talked about the abuse with babysitters, coaches, teachers, counselors, and therapists. All of the CPS calls have been made by mandated reporters. The GAL has not contacted any of these people despite having their information. GAL has also not contacted any of my friends or family members. The GAL has only contacted Ex's friends and family members, and of course they all say wonderful things about Ex's parenting skills.

The kids have done forensic interviews and talked about the abuse. GAL says these interviews aren't good enough and that the kids need to personally tell the GAL what happened or the GAL is going to grant Ex more time. I thought the whole point of these interviews was the protect the kids from having the relive the abuse by telling their stories again and again.

GAL recently filed a motion to give Ex more time against the wishes of CPS/police. The judge denied the GAL's request and basically said the GAL needs to send more time investigating the incidents of abuse. (the judge gave specific requirements for the GAL to fulfill before filing another motion to increase Ex's time, but I don't want to put them all in a public forum)

CPS and police have repeatedly stated that the GAL should be advocating for the kids. Someone from one of the agencies involved told me off the record that they feel I need to get another GAL. They also said they feel my lawyer should be trying to get the GAL to behave better and said I may want to switch attorneys.

My attorney says we can't get another GAL because our state only allows one switch, and we already made a switch at the beginning of the case. That's how we ended up with the current one. Attorney has also stated that if we tried to switch, the judge would probably deny the request and that would make the GAL angry and vindictive toward me.

My attorney is friends with the GAL. I didn't consider that a problem at first because I figured it makes sense for lawyers and GALs to be friends. However, I wanted to get rid of this GAL from day one because this GAL represented another party in a court case against me. I had a different attorney at the time, and the other party's attorney (who is the GAL now) lost the case. So I thought there might be some issues with having a GAL who was not only opposing counsel against me at one point, but opposing counsel who lost the case.

Oh, and if it matters, the GAL remembers me from the other case. My attorney asked, and the GAL said yes.

This other case was a few years ago, so my attorney assured me that the GAL would not have any bias toward me and that everything would be fine. It hasn't been fine, and I'm not really sure how to protect the kids at this point.

I thought the GAL would help the kids, not ignore other agencies recommendations or accuse them of lying about abuse. I'm nervous about what will happen long-term if the GAL continues to ignore documented abuse and the recommendations of these agencies.

Or is it normal for a GAL to behave like this?

Auto Insurance: Getting Insurance Company to the Table to Settle

My question involves insurance law for the state of: WA

Friend was hit, from behind. His vehicle was totaled. He only had liability, so his insurance has stepped out of the picture.
The other ins. Company has paid for his vehicle.

Immediately after the accident, he didn't go to the hospital, but did, 2 days later, and had internal bruising caused by the accident (seat belt)
Because he has no insurance, and fears his credit will be affected, he has PAID each medical bill as it arrived.

Currently, the bills for the accident are easily at several thousand.

The insurance company is balking, trying not to pay...

They won't respond to his calls, and are giving him the run around.

We're trying to help... I know a letter (return receipt, proof they got it) is necessary, but I have NO idea how to get them to settle this so he can get his bills refunded...

I have had accidents, but the ins. companies always wanted to settle quickly... this is new.

Thanks.

Ticket After Accident Caused by Black Ice

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: New York.
Today my friend got into a car accident. I know she should be the one asking the questions but she can’t right now, but she is not injured.
The accident occurred after she attempted to pass a car that was frequently hitting their breaks. There had been a snow storm that day, and the highway was plowed. My friend was driving under the speed limit and was passing the car when the car swerved into her lane. My friend had to swerve in turn to avoid being hit and hit a patch of black ice. This caused her to crash into a concrete border. She stayed with her car after moving it to the shoulder of the highway to avoid being hit.
She received a ticket, as the officer claimed she should have known there was ice and she can’t prove there was another car that swerved. It was for unreasonable speed considering the circumstances.
My question is: what are her options for fighting the ticket. She is already having trouble paying for the car so paying for the ticket is a struggle. I know that doesn’t affect the judges decison. Her court case is in 9 days.
Thank you.
Edit: change of what the ticket stated.

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

We Valet parked our vehicle 3 weeks ago at a hotel in downtown Dallas. The next morning the valet was unable to find the keys or the car. Police were called. While we were looking for our vehicle the valet employee told myself and the officer that when he arrived to work that night, the valet stand was not secure. No employee was there and all the keys were left unlocked. This is the timeframe when my keys were in there. I have this on video from my phone and also the police body cam.
My insurance company has now offered us the value of the vehicle.... approximately 15K. We owe approximately 25K and have NO gap insurance. Since the valet company employee informed me on video that they did not secure my keys can I sue them for the remaining 10k that I will owe the finance company after my insurance pays the 15k? They say I will have 30 days to pay them the remaining 10k. Am I screwed??? I am not trying to take advantage of anything. I just want to be made whole. If not for their negligence, I would not be left standing with a bill to the finance company for 10K with no more car. HELP!!!!

Divorce: Divorce After Becoming the Resident of Another State

My question involves a marriage in the state of: NY

I left my husband due to domestic violence and fled from NY to CA. Out here I have an order of protection and sole custody of our children. My lawyer says I cannot file for divorce out here even after meeting the residency requirement now due to the fact that my husband has no ties whatsoever to this state. She says he would need to agree to CA holding jurisdiction. So I reached out to him and due to him not liking the results of the custody hearing he said he wouldn't agree and that I couldn't have any of the property that I left behind when I left. What do I need to do? Do I have to retain another lawyer in NY and proceed in NY or can I in some way proceed from here? I

Federal Taxes: Filing Returns for Past Unpaid Taxes

I received a $190,000 of a $300,000 settlement from a car accident in 2003. I was told this was not taxable. I've had multiple surgeries and it still effects me today. I took 50k and invested in stock through Scottrade and 3k into a Roth IRA. I was going through a really bad time and let a lot of stuff go. I drained the accounts in 2005 I think. I never filed taxes on any of it. The IRS has never contacted me regarding this. The state of Missouri did file a tax lien on me 8-10 years ago for 11k. I finally filed taxes for 2017 for the first time since all of that. The state took my return, which I expected.*

I am now trying to get things up to date. I met with a CPA. She is filing my returns from 2013-present. Before that, I only worked part time jobs making maybe 10-15k a year. The most I have ever made is $24k and that was 2018. I only had the stock account active 2003-2005. I made decent returns, 10-20%. I have tried to find my 1099s or any paperwork from those years but have not been successful. I contacted the firm and they can not go back that far. My CPA can only get transcripts from the IRS going back 10 years.*

My question is, should I just file for the last 5yrs and leave it at that and hope and pray the IRS never comes after me? At this point, I don't even know how to go about getting the info I would need to file for those years. How can I find that information I need to go back and file?

California Unemployment Insurance

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

I was terminated 8/2018 for missing days due to tendonitis (golfer's elbow) per doctor's instructions. I filed for unemployment. I was initially denied by EDD, but appealed and won the appeal through the Administrative Law Court in 01/09/2019.

It has been three weeks and I notice that from 11/2018 until today are being paid. But the months certified prior to the initial denial (9/4/2018 to 11/03/2018) are still showing as appealed in the "Certification History".

How long does it typically take to clear an appeal after a ruling is overturned? And am I entitled to back unemployment if the denial was erroneously decided? If so, how should I handle this case?

Any input is appreciated. Thank you.

Best,
Gary K.

Service Providers: Property Damage Done by Tree Removal Service

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

Here's the situation: I live in Florida, in a trailer park. I own my home but pay lot rent. A few weeks ago, a tree fell in my neighbors back yard. Yesterday, a tree removal service came out with a big crane to remove the tree. I know this because while I was at work a neighbor sent me a picture of this giant crane positioned out front of my house. When I got home, I discovered that one of the panels of the metal awning over my porch had been smashed in. Further, a step stool that had been on my porch had been unfolded and positioned underneath the damage as if someone was checking it out. This means not only did these workers damage my property, they also came onto my porch and used my personal belongings before leaving. When I asked my neighbor (the one who had sent me the picture earlier), she stated she witnessed the crane lifting big pieces of tree way over my house and that it's possible a limb had fallen.

My question is, what recourse if any do I have here? I have already emailed the company asking them to get in touch with me, but haven't heard from them yet. I did not hire these people and had nothing to do with the tree or the removal. I have no homeowner's insurance. No contact info was left by the workers and no attempt to contact me about the damage has been made by the company. The only reason I knew how to contact them was because the name of the company and their phone number was visible on the side of the crane in the picture my neighbor sent me.

Any and all advice is welcome. Pretty irritated by this, and don't feel I should have to shoulder the costs of the repairs.

Update: Tree service called this morning and said they were very sorry This happened and would be sending someone out to the house to "see what happened". As of 7pm EST this still had not happened.

Some Legal Questions About Purchasing Otf Knives

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


I'm thinking about purchasing an OTF knife or two , which is why I'm curious as to the legality of doing so under federal law ...


Now I realize that the Federal Switchblade Knife Act prohibits the shipping of switchblades across state lines , what isn't clear to me is whether or not OTF knives are considered to be switchblades under federal law . After all I've read that companies such as Schrade and Smith and Wesson ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliding_knife ) carry OTF knives that aren't proscribed under federal law . Furthermore I as a purchaser wouldn't be shipping anything across state lines , so the issue of breaking federal law becomes all the more murkier ...

So in short would I be breaking federal law if I was to purchase an OTF knife from a site like BladeHQ ?


P.S. I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong section or if this forum doesn't deal with the issue of federal law at all , I'm just curious and this forum was one of the first ones to pop up when I searched for legal advice forums . Oh and I didn't notice anything about issues concerning federal law being off limits in the " Using The Forum " section either FWIW . I suppose I might have not looked hard enough , but I hope that can be forgiven . :)

Custody and Visitation in Different States

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

I'm posting for my older brother, who has never used a computer before. All opinions, advise, etc are welcome.

He's lived with his much younger girlfriend in AZ for several years. Around two years ago, they broke up and then she announced she was pregnant. The child was born, and since then she refuses to let him take the child anywhere, he can only see her when she says ok, and only at her house. Now she's talking about moving back to her home state, CA.

He filed for custody and child support in AZ, and she's threatening him with an expensive fight. Is it possible the court will let her move the girl away? How will visitation work with a young child and parents in different states?

If it helps, they make about the same amount, and he's offered several times to split all expenses 50/50, as he wants 50/50 custody.

Thanks,

Failure to Yield Ticket at an Intersection That Has No Stop Signs

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Nebraska. I don't as heading north through an intersection that has no stop signs on any of the corners. I was over half way through the intersection when a lady heading west hit the my passenger side, at the rear bumper. Her car was completely totaled and mine had very minor damage.

I drive a Cadillac Escalade and she was driving a Pontiac G6. The impact spun my SUV so that when it stopped I was facing south. Her car was dented in the middle of the front of the hood. Her air bags deployed and she said she didn't see me at all.

The only damage my Caddy had was a crack on the hub cap and the rear fender slightly bent (it was fixed just by pulling it out).

I got a failure to yield to right of way ticket because of the directions we were going. I want to fight the ticket because it was not my fault. Now she is trying to get me to pay over $5000 for her car. I have pictures taken that day and the police report. However the diagram of the collision is incorrect.

What are my best options for fighting the ticket and fighting to not pay for her car.

Medical Bills

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Issued in MO, living in NE

My wife's daughter's father (they we're never married) recently put a medical bill in my wife's name. We have full custody of the child with the child seeing her every other weekend. Recently he took her to the hospital for some reason and out an $800 dollar bill in my wife's name. We knew he took her but did not know of the bill until it was sent to us weeks later. The custody agreement says he is the provider of insurance for the child and out of pocket expenses are paid by my wife and I at a rate of roughly 36percent. My question is, is it legal for him to put the bill in my wife's name even tho she didn't sign any consent to do so or any forms at the hospital? Would this be considered identity theft or impersonation?

Security Deposits: Roommate Not on Lease, Moved Out Without Sufficient Notice, Wants Deposit Refund

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

She is not on the apartment lease. Before moving in, I emailed her the roommate agreement without personal information filled in and and she agreed to it verbally. The roommate term is from 10/1/18 until 4/30/19. Here is what it says about the deposit: "roommate will pay a mandatory month’s rent deposit to cover damages and/or unexpected departures:"."Each roommate will receive his/her share of the security deposit if and when the landlord returns it after the agreed upon roommate lease term ends." For withdrawing we agreed: "if a roommate decides to move out, a two months’ notice must be given. If a roommate leaves without giving at least a months’ notice, the security deposit will be kept to cover the next month’s rent."

Mid Dec she asked if she could move out by Feb 28th, since its 2 months notice I ok'd it & starting posting ads looking for roommates to start Mar 1 and found someone. Then mid Jan she says she's leaving before Jan 31 instead (she paid full month). She suddenly moved out Jan 21st (left dirty dishes/food/comforter) and didn't return the keys. Since she left before our agreed date (Feb 28th), and I need someone to pay Feb rent, I lost the potential roommate that was going to move in Mar 1st. I'm having difficulty finding a new Feb 1st roommate.

According to our agreement, I have the right to keep her deposit to cover February rent as she left without proper notice right? I told her this and she got hostile and texted back saying "in that case I'm keeping the keys to use for Feb since you're using my money to pay for rent."
Can she do this? If I use her deposit to cover her early departure does she still have claim to the apartment? Or since her last rent payment was through Jan 31st, can I use her deposit to cover Feb and request once more for her to return the keys (or change the locks) since she's no longer my roommate as of Jan 31st?

The way I see it is that by not giving the min 30 days notice agreed to in the contract, she owes an additional months rent (Feb), and according to our contract I can deduct rent from her security deposit as it's the same amount.

Does it make a difference whether or not I find a new roommate quickly? If I find a new roommate by mid Feb for example, am I required to return in full or in part the deposit despite the fact that she still broke our agreement?

I'm quite worried of her and her boyfriend being hostile towards me while still having the keys to the apartment when she only has a couple of dirty dishes and expired food in the fridge left over.

If she had given me 30 days notice Dec 31st stating she's planning on leaving Jan 31st then she would've been entitled to her deposit refund. As it is she only gave me about a week and a half's notice which is why I believe I'm in the right based on our Roommate Agreement but would like to be sure. Thanks for your help! :)

Traffic Accidents: Victim of Hit and Run, but Found Them

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

We were involved in a hit and run a few weeks ago. Vehicle collided with our car, and then took off. We were able to follow them for a while, in a somewhat high speed chase, but they got away. During the "chase", we were on the phone with 911. We were able to describe the car, but it was a used car that was purchased more recently so there were no plates on it. We knew it was a used car because it still had the car lots plate frame filler thing, that says the car lot name and all.

During the chase an ambulance was dispatched to take care of one of the people in our car. They went to the ER, they have a history of injuries to their neck and brain, and were released at the end of the night with a concussion.

Talking to insurance, we are having issues. We were able to find the car that hit us on the dealers web site. We got the VIN number and everything from the site, then provided it to the police for the report. But insurance is saying that they may not be able to do anything.

So, what can we do??? I mean, how many hit and run incidents are people able to actually provide the VIN??? Shouldn't it be as easy as calling the car lot the vehicle was sold at, tell them the vehicle was involved in an accident and they need the new owners information, then go after them?

If they can't put the blame on the other car then our deductible applies and we have to jump through other hoops. We have a relatively low deductible, but it's the point of it and also to catch the people who did this!

Execution of Deed: Selling a Home with a Lien

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

Good morning, looking for some options on what I can do with a property.

My father passed away in 2013 and owned his home with no mortgage. At his death I became the personal representative of his estate. In 2014 the house sold at auction but during the closing process we discovered a lien from a judgement for one of his past credit card debts. The payoff for the lien is north of $50,000. The value of house is $20,000. The house has been vacant since 2014. The estate is insolvent.

My questions are

1. Can I sell the property with the lien to a cash buyer who is not interested in title work or title insurance?
2. Can I demo the property if a lien exists?
3. What steps should I take to try and resolve the lien?

Thank you

Agents and Brokers: Can an Owner Change the Property Assessment Mid-Negotiation

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

Hi. I'm renting a property that I'm currently in mid-negotiation to purchase from the owner. I've had about 6 inspections from various professionals done; the only one I'm waiting on still is the Independent Appraiser's report, but he's indicated to me that not only is the property a 2 BR, 1 BA, but also that he's planning on reducing the square footage GLA of the house by 30% due to non-permitted addition in back. The Owner doesn't know this yet. In addition, I've confirmed with my Contractor, Home Inspector, Foundation / Pest, Sewer Lateral and Plumbing professionals (with estimates) that there are a great number of repairs necessary to transform this 100-year old building into a permitted and habitable one. Meanwhile, the Owner's been driving hard to have this property assessed as a 4 BR home in contradiction to every online assessment available. He's done this all mid-negotiation, without an agent. Do I have any recourse to this bait and switch?

Ownership Rights: Removal of Unauthorized Vehicles from Private Lot - Responsible Party

My question involves personal property located in the State of: North Carolina, Cumberland county

Hello,

First things first, this may be posted in the wrong section. If it is, please help! :)

Background: My apartment complex contracted a company to tow my vehicle because the permit was not properly displayed on the rearview mirror. My vehicle was towed 18 miles despite several other towing companies with storage available within 15 miles.

Can I Sue if I Have Proof My Idea Was Stolen

A friend of mine came up with an idea for a business. I loved the idea and made plans to make it a reality. He foolishly shared the idea on his YouTube channel. A subscriber/viewer heard and stole the whole idea (name and concept). Unfortunately this person registered the name and got the biz rolling (online) before we could.

So is that video tangible proof that the idea was stolen and enough to get the thief to cease and desist?

I read that there’s no legal consequences if we were to still go through with our business as long as we’re not in the same state/market. But I had plans of eventually registering at the federal level but this situation blocks that. We aren’t registered at the state level yet though.

Also my friend confronted this guy via Instagram and the guy responded by blocking him.

After Installing a Fence in Backyard, Learned That Neighbor Has Sprinklers on My Land

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

I have some terrible neighbors with whom communication is impossible, and my backyard blends with theirs naturally (their side begins on a slope where I had learned--via an official survey--is partly my property). So after several nasty disputes, I went ahead and installed a fence fully at my expense, built a few feet within my property line, only to learn that he has about a dozen sprinklers installed on it (not sure how long it's been there). I was able to cap them since I no longer need them, but want to cover my bases and be safe of any potential action he might be in the position to take.

Any advice on what actions I could or should take to protect myself from potential headaches?

Wills: Does a Will Give Executor Power to Sale Real Estate

My question involves estate proceedings in the state of: California.
Does the executor of a will have the authority to sale real estate that belonged to the deceased person? I've had people tell me in California an executor can not sale real estate without it first going thru probate. I want my executor to be able to sale my house when I die and want to make sure I have things in order to allow him to do so without any issues.
Thank you

Copyrights and Ownership Regarding Videos by Someone Who Passed

My question is this: Who would hold the copyrights of content, mainly videos, after someone has suddenly passed away? How about if the user is a minor or under 13? Would any copyrights automatically go to the parent(s) of the individual? Does a guardian of an estate have any relevance to copyright ownership? I ask in regards to archived streams that i've seen on youtube under the search ᴋᴀᴛᴇʟʏɴ ɴɪᴄᴏʟᴇ ᴅᴀᴠɪs. Would those videos of their archived streams be violating any sort of copyright?

Rental Agreement for SSI when Recipient Doesn't Have Mental Capacity to Contract

I am located here in California and have been caring for a friend of 40 years who was diagnosed with a mental illness 10 years ago . He lives with me and receives SSI and SSDI , pays for all his living expenses . I've been his Representative Payee for 10 years . It looks like it might be a good move to create a rental agreement , but I am wondering how this could be done if he doesn't have mental capacity to enter a contract . This must happen fairly often , and it seems there should be a somewhat easy solution . The only thing I found so far was from the state of Hawaii , where a Declaration is made by the person renting attesting to all the facts of the rental , on behalf of the recipient . Also found an attorney from another state saying it was necessary to go to court and become the legal guardian before you could do something like that . I know that in the eyes of the SSA a Representative Payee is considered a legal guardian , so maybe they accept a something like this ? Also , are there no agencies that can inform or assist in these questions ? Thanks in advance !

Disqualification: Unemployment Eligibility for Medical Reasons in Nevada

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

My girlfriend currently works in a high-stress office environment as an eviction paralegal. She has Asperger's syndrome which makes it very difficult for her to do her job due to her inability to talk to clients, and her condition also makes her obsessively focus on work which is causing her health to decline physically. She recently had surgery and insisted on going back to work right away which delayed her recovery, and she has several medical issues as well which are being worsened from the stress of her job. She grinds her teeth at night which has worsened her TMJ, which a doctor said was severe and will likely need surgery. That surgery will keep her from being able to talk or work for 2 months, and she's been delaying having her medical issues taken care of (There are other procedures she needs done as well) because she doesn't want to let her company down as well as the financial stress that quitting would cause. Her company absolutely will not fire her as they are too nice to do so.

My question is, would she qualify for unemployment benefits if she quits in order to take care of her medical issues? The unemployment guidelines say that she will be ineligible if she quits without good cause, but good cause isn't clearly defined. I know if she had some sort of reassurance that she could get unemployment that she may be more likely to take care of the surgeries she needs done, but I can't find any information about this. Would it help if she had notes from her doctors explaining the need for her to quit?

Custody Order - Kids Not Following It and Ex Being Permissive

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

in the past we have treated it with some flexibility. However now the ex got the kids a pet and the kids go over there all the time on my time. The issue appears to be that he told them the cat was their responsibility - as parents do when the get a pet to teach "responsibility" or whatnot. SO now I find out that he will feed the cat on this time, give the cat water on his time, pet the cat on his time but solely rely on the kids to clean the cat litter on my time.

I see this as him pawning off chores of his household onto the kids during the time the kids are supposed to be parented by me.

In the past I allowed (well, found out there were going so I permitted it) them to go see the cat thinking I would really be a cold B*tch if I denied that. But I really object to them being ordered to do 100% of the dirty work with only 40% of the other stuff associated with a cat.

The main issue is that kids are kids and im not sure I can enforce it without following htem around. since the two home are within walking distances it's difficult to police. HOwever he is permissive - like the last time they went to do it he was sitting right there at home and let them in. but since they know his garage code really they can go change the cat litter any time.

I have emailed him to let him know my displeasure but not sure how much recourse I have.

Please dont attack me for being petty. I feel like he is assigning them unrealistic chores that they are not responsible for by the custody agreement. I mean, I dont make them come and clean bathrooms when they are his time.

ANyway, i was just wondering if I should do anything other than sending an email, talking with the kids. I feel pretty powerless even though the custody order clearly says who's time is who's.

lmaybe just ignore it? but I feel like I ignore a lot already and if I ignore it then I want to give up on everything and give up on parenting.

Repossession: Secured or Unsecured Debt

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

I bought a pickup about 3 years ago, and about a two years ago received a clear title in the mail. I thought not to much about it and filed it away, well do to financial difficulties I had to file chapter 7 bankruptcy about a two months ago. Well i wanted to keep the pickup so the attorney was going to have it reaffirmed. After about a month or so after attorney contacted the bank to see what hold up was, still no reaffirmation, the bank said they were having a tittle problem, i told my attorneys that is because they sent me the title two years ago. They then sent my attorney a reaffirmation paper for the pickup and a Release of Interest/power of attorney to be notarized. My question is this now a unsecured debt i can file on and keep pickup, my attorney does not seem to know for sure. And i do have enough wild card money to apply to equity to protect from trustee.

Thanks

Changing an Adult's Name: Amending a California Legal Name Change

This is a little confusing so bear with me. We’ll say my birth name is “Joe Jack Jim, Jr”. On the court documents I only put “Joe Jack Jim” because my father has passed. My new name is “Joe Jack”..obviously not my name but pretty much what I did. Now I can’t amend my birth certificate because the original has “Junior” and I left that out on the court docs. So do I have to do the whole process again.. change my name back to my birth name (with Junior) and then do another change to my current name?! 😂 please help. Thank you

Life Estates: Life Tenancy when Parent Must Go into Nursing Home

My question involves real estate located in the State of: PA
My father transferred his house deed to my siblings and I over 10 years ago. He has it set up a life estate where he is the life tenant. He is the only person living there. He takes care of ALL bills on the property. He is starting to decline, more forgetful than a physical health issue. If he would be placed into a nursing home permanently, and he runs out of assets to pay the bills, including the nursing home fees, we are concerned on how we would upkeep the property long term. Would we be able to sell the property? Or would we need to financially support the property until his death?

My brother and I have POA.

Thank you in advance.

Homeowners Associations: Who Owns the Land Under the Roads Within Our HOA

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

Our small (20 home) community was formed about 40 years ago on land that was once a hay field.

When the developers of our community formed the subdivision, they created and recorded a plat, which states, "That the undersigned, being the owners of the following described land [lengthy legal description of land] do hereby dedicate and convey to and for public use, forever, hereafter, the streets as laid out and designated on this plat..." We don't have a private, gated community.

I've been told by the County engineering department that our roads are "deeded public rights-of-way roads that are privately maintained" (in our case, by a Public Improvement District).

I've been to the Clerk and Recorder's office, and they don't have a record of any kind of deed that transfered the land from the developers to the County or any other entity/person. There were several other deeds from the developers, such as one that established a "common area" and another that established a "right of way" -- both for the use of the HOA.

I went to the Assessor's office and when they pulled up a map of our community, there was only a "question mark" on the road rights-of-way, which they said indicates they have no record of who owns the land.

I called the Road and Bridge folks at the County, and they could not answer the question of land ownership, but confirmed that our roads were "public rights-of-way created by the developer" and that the County can oversee what happens on the roads, but does not have responsibility for maintaining the roads.

Can anyone help with this question (Who owns the land used for our HOA roads?), or at least suggest where I might find the answer?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Expungement and Sealing: Sealed Record Hospital Background Check

My question involves criminal records for the state of: Ohio
I recently got 2 misdemeanor convictions sealed and one treatment in lieu of conviction removed. I will be applying to work in a radiology department at a major hospital. What will be seen when a background check is done? I was told that health care providers are permitted to see sealed records. Is this true? Is it mandatory that they request seeing sealed records? If I do an FBI check on my own my guess is that it wont tell me much since the records are sealed to the majority of requests. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Who is Liable for a Public Sidewalk

Our village board has enacted an ordinance whereby property owners are responsible for maintaining and cleaning the public sidewalks that adjoin their property. Thereby claiming the village is not liable for any "incididents". The village still owns the sidewalks. So who is responsible, then, if someone trips on a crack or slips on ice and breaks a leg, the property owner or the local government?

Can they trespass and treat you if you don’t consent to anything and say it’s always the first time and bring multiple medical professionals into your home so you can’t deny treatment no matter what you tell them and also after you tell them they are harassing you. I have never heard of these people and when asked for names they have given me nothing. I know they can’t treat me. I follow medical advice given to me from multiple doctors and never fail to do it. They have lied multiple times but say that they have been ordered in by a doctor so I cannot deny treatment by one and spam me and also they have made terroristic threats to break me if I didn’t change who I was. They have electroshocked me against my will and have asked me questions over and over even though I have answered it for a different answer interrogation style. I already know this is illegal and it was confirmed by a lawyer but I didn’t tell him every story they came up with not saying it was ordered by one doctor and they have lied about why they’re here multiple times. Can they also monitor me in any way before this happened without an jurisdiction or reason when it was not the treatment ordered by my 5 different opinions prior to this that were the same treatment course I still follow. I was not informed about monitoring though I am now sure they are according to what they are saying and suspicions. This has been nothing other than sadistic torture upon my life guided as help. They also being in random people I used to know as “therapy” and embarrass and degrade me infrint if them as a result of their abuse to my being.

What Proper Steps Can I Take Before Building a Fence

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

I will be adding a chainlink fence to my backyard to establish more clearly my boundary line with a neighbor below me on the slope who likes to play dumb and pretend that is his property since it blends into his. I do have a survey report showing the measurements and a printout from Department of Building & Safety clearly showing that additional space to be within my boundary lines. Also, since the neighbor likes to argue and get violent, I will be calling a cop ahead of time to be there for civil standby to make sure things go smoothly. I have not told the neighbor in advance because, as far as I know, I don't need to, and feel safer with him not knowing so he won't try anything clever.

Before building the fence, I'd like to cover a few other bases first:

1) The true boundary line gets a little strange near one end (becomes a thin sliver of land, which I can't really make use of, anyway), so I'll be building the fence a few feet inwards of the true line (meaning a subset of my total land, which I'm okay with). Does that mean technically I will own the fence 100% and can't enforce via good neighbor laws for the neighbor to pay his share?
2) Along the path of where the fence will go, there are tons of small bushes and trees in that area. I know if a plant is entirely within my line, it's mine. What about if it's 50/50 or a small section (say a fourth of it) is on the neighbor's side? What is the best way to handle that to avoid issues with getting sued over who's tree it is? Can I just cut my side of it?
3) In the area I am about to fence around, there is currently a long narrow black gate on the side that leads to a public drainage easement that I have with the city which lies on my property. However, the neighbor sometimes goes in there for cleanup purposes (if tree branches fall there from the rain or wind). So now after putting the fence, that means the neighbor will no longer be able to access that gate leading to the drainage area. I believe that means I would assume all responsibility to making sure that drainage path doesn't get clogged, which I'm fine with. Does my neighbor even need access to that by law? Because I suspect he might say something like "you can't block me from that gate, that's for drainage!"? His house is below the drainage area anyway, while I am above it. Also, the drainage is long enough that that black gate continues on for about 20 more feet towards an area that is no longer my property, just the neighbor's, meaning from his side, if he really wanted to, he could easily install a gate to access the drainage without having to get through my property.
4) Anything I should worry about that the neighbor could do to obstruct the building of the fence (such as by spitefully putting an object on the way to block the fence path once the fence guy starts) or if he tries to complain or say something that the cop would be convinced and ask me to stop the construction? My attorney really recommended I get the fence up ASAP, so I would hate for it to get delayed based on any tricks he pulls.
5) The neighbor is hard to talk to and stuck in his own beliefs (completely ignoring my survey report as an example). As he starts complaining in front of the cop, do I need to say anything in defense or really owe him no more explanation? How about if the neighbor bombards my fence guy with questions? Is it wise if I advise my fence guy to not talk to the neighbor?

Any other general tips for being well-prepared are greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Fraudulently Obtained Limited Power of Attorney by Credit Repair Organization

My question involves a person located in the state of: Washington State.. the company in question is located in Florida though.

Not sure where to put this honestly. I am disabled so I know I do get certain protections but this is with a credit repair organization.

I'm disabled on SSI and have a speech disability. I'm trying to repair my credit so I can get a student loan for University. I get offered credit repair services and sign up over the phone. The reviews for said company are very reputable so I felt comfortable about agreeing to the terms of thier contract and what they told me over the phone didn't raise any red flags.

They failed to mention thier fine print though. After I signed the agreement verbally over the phone they sent thier legal documents. There were 3 PDFs. I read the first one right after and everything sounded fine. I got sidetracked so I didn't read the other two until a week after. To my shock they omitted several terms while on the phone.

The most shocking giving them limited power of attorney to communicate on my behalf. They mentioned on the phone me allowing them to communicate with credit bureaus on my behalf but failed to mention I was giving them limited power of attorney. I know how power of attorney is legally obtained and they most certainly didn't do that.

I sent them my ID, SS card and proof of address at thier request. They are disputing every negative item on my credit reports so are signing documents on my behalf. Since I never gave them POA Im baffled unless they forged a legal document stating I did.

On the phone the salesman said even if I owe what on my credit report and pay it off, they can try to trick the credit bureaus and collection agencies into removing them which I have ethical issues about.

He also implied he would make more money in commissions the longer he was on the phone with me as a joke because it takes me far longer to speak verbally.

Several of the terms and conditions I wasn't told about involve highly manipulative tactics to prevent them being sued. Such as that by agreeing to the contract.. I cant start a class action lawsuit.. or that if I do sue and they win I pay thier attorney fees. And that if I do sue It has to be for legitimate reasons that they defined in the contract. The trial has to be in Florida and so on.

Interesting info. The credit repair organization owner has a doctorate in law from what I read.

I am so baffled by all of this. And feel very manipulated.

Business Regulation: Challenges with Naming a New Holistic Practitioner Association

My question involves business law in the state of: NC

I am starting a national association for people who teach a new biological science called German New Medicine or GNM. I have already discovered these terms are not copyrighted in the US. "German New Medicine" is copyrighted in Germany only.

The US copyright was not renewed and ran out in 2015 and it was only for "German New Medicine" not for "GNM." The physician who discovered GNM died in 2017.

Those of us who consult with GNM walk a fine line so we can't be accused of "practicing medicine." Most of us are holistic practitioners such as nutritionists, non-medical naturopaths, and herbalists.

My challenge is with the name of my association because I don't want to be misleading or have people draw conclusions that we practice medicine.

I've been advised by a paralegal not to use the full term of "German New Medicine" because that may be misleading because it contains "medicine" and could lead to civil and criminal issues.

Could I use "GNM" instead knowing it stands for German New Medicine, yet "medicine" would not be in the title or the URL. As in: USAGNM.com. I have also thought to use something different such as USANewBiology.com, however, it IS branded as GNM and people are starting to search for these initials.

I do not want to open myself or any of the practitioners who join the association to any potential lawsuits because of the name.
Thank you very much!

Establishing an Order: Tax Season with Children

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

My Ex-wife and I divorced in 2011 and in 2016 she decided to try and move out of state and take my son with her without approval. Needless to say this started a long 2 year court battle between us and I now have my son full-time! She has visitation every other weekend and during the summer when he is out of school, but he lives with me full-time.

With this said, In our Divorce Judgement, it states that we would alternate years with who got to claim him on their taxes as the dependent. This was fine for the first 4-5 years because we both had him a similar amount of time, however, now I have him full-time and yet she still gets to claim him every other year per our old agreement. Well this is just not right as I know her claiming him helps her get back a few thousand on her taxes when in reality I need that extra money. Its not right she can claim him and yet he doesn't even live with her and shes not the one that takes care of him full-time.

So the question is.....How can I change this? Can it be changed just in a motion to the Court? Would it have to go to a hearing? Could it be an Emergency Motion?

Any help would be appreciated!

My hearing is on Thursday (and I know it's not ideal timing wise) but thanks so much for any help. My question is:

1. Why does the officer mention his visual speed estimation capability several times ?
2. He has mentioned that he "checked the Lidar Unit's Calibration internally and externally using : internal self-diagnostic check, HUD aiming reticle alignment check , fixed distance check and delta distance check , before and after contact with the defendant. LIDAR unit was determined to be functioning correctly, before and after stop with the defendant." - DO they really do this after every infraction ? or is this a general statement that i Can argue against , "Functioning correctly" being vague ?
3. He mentioned LIDAR reading of 66 MPH at a distance of 374 feet" , Is this distance within the spec of Kustom Signals Pro LAser iii
4. Most recent calibration testing was done April 11th , 7 months prior to the infraction - But Kustoms Pro does only evrey 24 months. Any chance here ?

Do I have any arguments against the prosecution or do I plead guilty prior to hearing ?

Gmail Sent to Court Clerk

My question involves criminal law for the state of: oklahoma

I sent an email (gmail rather) to the court clerk in the county where there is an open domestic violence case against someone I know from years past to be a bit dangerous, mainly to women. I told them of the things he's done years ago, and that I didn't want to have my name known. I wanted to remain anonymous thru the whole thing out of fear for my safety. I mentioned that he had sex with a 15yr old years ago, and maybe another girl that age, but despite it being reported, the police at the time did nothing. It's literally not on their records ANYWHERE. As if it didn't even happen. (Small town, good ole boy police) I mentioned one of the girl's name. I am so afraid of this individual that I promptly deleted that particular gmail address from my account hoping the D.A won't contact me, so as not to possibly leak my identity. It took me weeks of weighing whether or not I should even get involved. In the end, I decided to do it because I felt I needed to speak up. Even after years.

My question: I tried the contact info given for the D.A in question, but couldn't get thru to anyone, so I left the message with the court clerk of that county. Will the court clerk likely relay the email to the D.A ?

Extending a Lease Estate Giving Notice on Behalf of a Deceased Tenant

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

My mother has been living in the same rent controlled apartment for 45 years and pays around 1/4 of the current market rent for a similar unit in her building. She pays month to month, her rent is current and a check was just mailed, paying her up through the end of February.

My mother is about to go on home hospice care. I do not expect her to last for more than a week or two at best.

I am her sole heir and the executor of her will. One of my concerns is the time it will take to clear out her apartment after she passes The time to sort and go through a 94 year old's lifetime of possessions will be time consuming, I live alone 50 miles away and am not in the best of health myself. I do not have room for her things at my place, and she does have many antiques and items of value that will need to be disposed of. At the rent she is paying, it will be cheaper to stretch things out and leave them at her apartment for several weeks where I can go back and forth as my health allows, instead of paying to have them moved to a storage facility near me and go through them more leisurely.

My question here is this - Section 1946 of the Civil Code requires that a tenant give 30 days notice prior to termination. However, when the tenant dies in the middle of a prepaid rental period, does the clock change and what are the Estate's rights or responsibilities in such matters?

For example, a check has been sent paying rent through the end of February. Let's assume my mother dies on January 30th. Must the Estate give notice then, or can it wait well into February, pay March's rent and give notice to end on March 31st?

Your thoughts?

And on another subject, can anyone point me to a checklist of things/tasks one must do when handling the death of another (forms, notifications, etc.) and when serving as the executor of a small estate (under $100k) where the executor is also the sole heir?

I'm sorry if I seem so cold about this, but when the time comes I know I will be overwhelmed, so I want to accomplish as much as possible now, while I still have my head on straight.

Thanks,

Custody and Visitation Issues: Extracir Activities and School

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: NC
I have been divorced for 5 years now and I have 50/50 custody of my 10yo with my ex. My ex remarried last year against my wishes because I think we should be the only adults parenting our child. I just found out last week that my son’s father has been having his mother put my son on the bus every morning and that his new wife has been picking my son up from his school at least 2/3 days. I don’t think he should be allowed to do this. He should be transporting my son to school not someone else. Can I file with the court to have an order put in the custody to prevent him from doing this?
Also, against my wishes he has been taking my son to karate. I don’t want him such a violent sport and now my son is asking to go to his classes during his week with me. This is crazy and I’m wondering if I can make this stop?

Custody and Visitation Issues: Unreasonable Vacation Time

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: North Carolina
Today my ex texted me asking if he could have THREE STRAIGHT weeks in the summer with our son for vacation to take him on a road trip across country. I told him no way and he then threw back that I would deny my son seeing national parks and the western part of the country. Such a guilt tripper This is too much time with his father. We have always done week on/week off in the summer. Even when I took my son to Europe for a vacation I made sure to keep it to a week. I don’t think it is reasonable to ask for this much time in the summer and my kid shouldn’t be away from me that long. Our order says we can have three weeks that are uninterrupted (i.e. no midweek visits) in the summer but i never thought he would do three straight weeks. How quickly can I get the court to move to stop this from happening?

Speeding Tickets: I Received a Speeding Ticket on Friday As I Was Getting Onto the Freeway and Trying

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: San Diego, CA
to get away from a guy tailgating me and following me into every lane I went into. A street sweeper flipped over in front of me a month ago and a guy behind me rear ended me really hard, just got my car back and am adjusting to being on the road again. I freaked out when this guy was tail gating me. the guy who i was trying to get away from zoomed past me and the chp officer pulled me over and said he got me going 90 on his radar in a 65 MPH zone. I looked at the ticket and it says the ticket was by MVARS, not radar.
I have never gone 90 MPH in my life. I was entering the freeway and switching lanes in traffic at 3:30pm on the 805N. I received a red light camera ticket in Sept, which the court reduced the fine for, I have not had a ticket of any kind for 20 years.
what can i do here? how can i fight an MVARS ticket? what can i do to keep these both off my driving record? Does CHP usually show up to court if I ask for a trial? what is his evidence?

Issues After Citizenship: Marital Status on Naturalization Certificate

I am naturalized USA citizen and i got my citizenship 8 years ago. During the naturalization process i filled up N400 form and mentioned that i was married to foreign spouse. However i was actually engaged during that time and was not married on papers. On interview/oath ceremony day the interview officer did not question me whether or not i was married because my naturalization application was based on the green card that i obtained through relative (i.e. my aunt who sponsored me). While it may sound that i am playing games but i am not. After i earned my naturalization certificate the girl that i loved got married with someone else and we moved on with each others life. Now after 8 years i want to marry someone who is in foreign country but if i file for her petition (Form - I-130) my naturalization certificate would state that i was married. The tricky part is that i don't have foreign marriage certificate to prove that i was married and apply for divorce. My only concern is what if i file I-130 would USCIS question about my previous marital status ? If yes, then is there anyway to amend my naturalization certificate. I know whoever would read this thread of mine would think that i am playing game and they would not buy my story but i swear on my loved ones i am not lying and whatever i did was an honest mistake. The only proof that i currently have is the photograph proof of my ex-girlfriend that she married someone else. I would appreciate if someone can guide me on what should i do now ?

Parking Violations: Parking on the Street for 3 Days

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: California. I haven't received a ticket for this, but a warning or two. I have two cars: One which I keep in my drive, the other parked on the street, because my family has two cars already in their garage. I drive the latter car more frequently. I had the car parked during Thanksgiving break, then I saw that I had a notice for keeping it parked in one place for more than 72 hours without moving it 1/10 mile. Since then, I've moved it about, frequently from one side of the street to the other. I've had to do this quite frequently as I'm still in between semesters at school (it starts up next Monday.) Is there anything else I should be doing about this? My current class schedule runs Mon-Thu, meaning that it'll likely be parked in one place for more than 72 hours.

Business Ownership: Use of Personal Property in Business (LLC and Partnership)

My question involves business law in the state of: Washington.

My wife and I are considering starting a business in the form of a LLC with both of us (and nobody else) as members. This would be an extension of our hobbys so we are looking to use some of the personal assets we have right now (equipment, tools, intellectual property) to achieve the business goals. In parallel, we’d like to continue using the same equipment for personal, non-commercial reasons (fun! :)). Is use of personal assets in business allowed or regulated/limited in any way? Are there financial or tax consequences? What are the differences in this regard between a LLC and a partnership?

Thanks.

Custody and Visitation Issues: What Are My Options if My Ex Keeps Making False Police Calls

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

I'm posting this under custody and visitation because the calls typically involve our custody schedule and the children.

My ex calls the police whenever I don't do what he wants. For example, he wanted me to switch days recently and I politely said I couldn't (which was true - we had something planned). He stated that if I did not show up at his home with the kids, he'd assume something was wrong and notify the police. I said, "The kids are okay, nothing is wrong. I'm sorry, but we are just unable to switch our visitation schedule today." He then called the police anyway and said he was scared, so they came out to my home.

Last year he called and said I poisoned the kids. That was a nightmare. Thankfully the police figured out he was lying after I let them read the texts he sent me right before his call, but before that, I had to wake up the kids and show the police they were alive and well. It was late at night, and the kids were pretty scared to be woken up by police at our house.

When I first left my ex - which was years ago - he called the police every day for more than a month. He made false noise complaints, etc. late at night when the kids and I were already in bed. The kids were babies at the time so they'd wake up and cry each time the police beat on the door late at night. My landlord also got angry about the constant police visits and said we'd have to leave if it continued.

During some of the visits, the police have mentioned getting another restraining order against my ex. This would be restraining order #3. Unfortunately the judge denied my request a few months ago so now I'm not sure what to do.

Should I visit the in-house officer and make a report each time ex makes a fake call? Should I keep trying for another restraining order? It's really stressful to deal with this.

I'm terrified to call the police myself because my ex told me that he contacted them to say I pretend he harasses me and abuses the kids whenever I'm mad at him. I have never done this and would never do this, but now I'm scared the police think I'm just some petty ex.

More details in case they matter: Ex is currently being investigated by our local PD for a child-related crime (I wasn't the one who reported him) and also has several active CPS investigations open against him (all of the calls came from mandated reporters but ex thinks they came from me). Because of all this our judge temporarily reduced his custody til our trial.

Promotion: Using a Promotion to Quell a Lawsuit

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

Very large employer. In my division there was a position posted for a next step promotion, I'm keeping the title vague but the promotion is to the next logical rung in the ladder.

There were 5 positions. On a certain day this month the 5 candidates who got the position were posted. One of these candidates was so absurd that got the promotion there was an audible gasp in the crowd. This person has had numerous peformance, attendance and communication issues in the last 6 months. In the entire field of candidates who did not get the position there are at least 10 others who are clearly better candidates.

It was found that the employee in question had a sex discrimation case filed against the company and the managers of the department. The day the promotion was announced, the case was withdrawn (this is not speculation, its available online).

Is this discrimatory against those who applied for the position who did not get it? In my view the company gave this person special consideration not available to any of the other candidates.

Thank you in advance,

Speeding Tickets: Ticket for Short Burst of Speed to Pass Wall of Cars (Pacing)

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

I was driving towards Seattle last November at around 65-70 mph, with the flow of traffic. At one point there was a wall of cars going exactly the speed limit that everybody was getting caught behind. Cars were squeezing through as spacing behind this wall would allow, and I did the same. I followed one car closely (admittedly a bit unsafely) and once there was enough space, squeezed though and accelerated to get clear of the wall. At which point I got pulled over.

Here is the discovery I requested: https://imgur.com/a/4uubtyY

Do I have any case against this? Not arguing that I was driving unsafely, and probably broke the law (as I was obviously going over 60 mph), I'm just trying to avoid an increase in insurance. I have a clean record and I'd like to avoid using a deferral if possible.

Thank you in advance.

Post-Discharge Issues Lien Holder Insurance Claims on Repoed Vehicle

My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: Oklahoma

I was discharged in Febuary of 2017, after discharge i was still paying on a car that was included and not reaffirmed. Well a few weeks ago i came out and the vehicle was gone, it was repoed by the bank. the vehicle had damage that was there before the bankruptcy. Now they are tring to file a claim on my insurance for the damages. One part was from a hit and run a year prior to filing and my insurance paid out, i didnt get it fixed as it was minor and didnt affect the operation of the vehicle and used the money to pay bills. Then i had an accident where the other partys insurance paid out, it was before discharge and i didnt get it fixed, as it was minor and i needed the money for bills. Tey are also claiming some damage that was not there when they repoed it. My question is can they make my insurance pay for the damages and can they come after me for anything?

Other Injuries: Bed Bug Bites While in a Hotel

My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of: NV While staying in a casino/hotel, I sustained numerous bed bug bites and they were so bad I needed to visit Urgent Care for prescription drugs for the infections and horrible discomfort. Reported this to management and security for a report filing. They now are offering me casino comps for the fees I incurred, and not even wanting to reimburse me for the costs I have paid out. I feel this is unacceptable, and wonder how to proceed with this. I am here on vacation, and have lost 3 days of it, with one entire day being at Urgent Care, being miserable and ill from the effects When I explained this to the front desk manager, she told me her boss was no longer going to discuss it...what was offered is what I would receive...PERIOD. Should I just let this go? I am still suffering from the results of these bites, and as the doctor informed me, new ones are still surfacing 2-3 days after the initial ones appeared. Thank you for any direction or advice.

Accident with No Insurance on Either Vehicle

My question involves an accident that occurred in the state of: La Crosse, Wisconsin

The accident/Dilemma:
I was in a motorcycle accident in December 2019. My motorcycle was registered in my name. My insurance was lapsed so I had no coverage. License suspended as well (did not know yet). I got tickets for driving on a suspended and failure to maintain control of vehicle. Driving on a suspended was dropped to driving without a valid license, failure to maintain was dropped totally. The boat I hit was not registered in the guys name and had been over a year since he bought it. Also he doesn't have proof of ownership before the accident. He also does not have insurance on it and it was parked on the street attached to his truck overnight. The person who was on the title on the date of the accident wants nothing to do with it. Boat NADA value is $1200. They are trying to get a little over $10,000 off me.

My questions:
They are sueing me for property damage. Is this just a big waste of time? Do you think I will owe them any money, keeping in mind the boat wasn't in their name. if so how much, $10,000 or the value of the boat? Is it worth getting a lawyer for or should I just wait and see what happens with the first court date? And also can I be arrested if I can't pay or would they just send me to collections like everyone else someone owes money to?

Title Ix University Issue

My question involves civil rights in the State of: Kentucky
I'm posting here because the Title IX division is overseen by the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department. I'm not positive if this is the correct place.
I am a graduate of a public university. My ex husband has a DVPO against him by me. He enrolled in this university, and I was supposed to be returning there for my Master's. I contacted the school to find out if they had procedures in place for this type of situation. They directed me to their Title IX office who asked for copies of the orders. I sent them over and then was sent a letter outlining lists of rules for me to follow about staying away from him, not speaking to him, not posting anything online about him, even if his name is excluded or I would be found in violation of the schools sexual misconduct policy. I don't go near him or speak to him as is, but I do blog about my experience as a DV survivor and speak with other women. According to the letter I was sent, this is a violation and considered sexual misconduct. I'm confused by this because nowhere in the DVPO does it say I am not allowed to speak publicly about my abuse or that I am under any obligation to be silent. I feel like the university is trying to enforce something that isn't any part of the order. As the victim in this situation, this feels unfair and like they are disallowing me to speak freely about a horrific situation that I lived through. I can understand if they don't want me to speak about it on campus, as that would be pointing out that one of their students was an abuser and may put them in a negative light, but to say on my own time, in my own home, I can't blog about my life seems stifling. I am 100% open to any feedback. I just need to know if they are allowed to threaten to put me in violation of a sexual misconduct policy for sharing my life story. Thank you for your time.

Arrest Rights of Convicts

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Iowa

What do police need to abduct a convicted felon?

Divorce: Marital Issues, Threats and Secret Phone Call Recordings of the Entire Family

Hello All,

I am a wife, a mother of 2 (5yo and 3yo) seeking an advice on below family issue. Location - IL, USA.

Husband works at a same job for last 8 years on H1b visa. I started working in 2017. Over the period of 6 years, Husband has sent huge amounts of money(direct transfers, credit card advances, loans etc etc) back to his family to his home country. It has resulted in a huge debt on our family. He forces me to pay for all of my monthly income on family expenses(to which I dot not have any problem) and does not want to be asked about his contribution towards his wife and kids. Does not want to be transparent at all about his income and expenses. His family also tortures me on this saying I should not be questioning his transfers and expenses.

While the disputes is on, he fraudulently tried to get my signature on Quitclaim deed for our house which is owned by both of us.

While arguing, various times he has threatened that he has heard/recorded our phone calls(with me n my dad, sister, mother and brother) and knows how I complained about him to my parents. And says, is going to defame us and my entire family for complaining about his and his family's behavior.

Multiple times he has threatened me to leave the house and kids and go back. His family as well does not want me to stay with him.

This has brought us a lot of mental torture to my entire family and has made me a serious patient of respiratory deceases. Visited ER 2 times by myself. He denied accompanying me to ER.

Would really appreciate if I could get with legal advice/opinion in this bad time.

Looking forward to hear back.
