It is incorrect to say that "there is absolutely no proof"; another student's word IS proof (or evidence). As you indicate, "It is their word against hers". So, it depends on who they believe. If the school's rules and regulations allow suspension or expulsion for... Read more »

You do not mention whether you have been to court or not. If you have never been to court then you can file a paternity case (assuming that you are not married).

Separated from husband, he just had to get new car insurance due to his accidents. He has listed a friends address as to where my vehicle is being kept., Is that legal or should I call the insurance company?

That is a matter of the terms of agreement with the insurance company, and those terms are contained in the written policy. If the address listed for the vehicle is not the correct address, that most likely violates the policy, subjecting the policyholder to cancellation of the policy. So... Read more »

Generally, if both of your names are on the title one party cannot simply remove the other party. You need to look carefully at the title. If you have the registration it should show both of your names. If it does not you need to look further. Ultimately you may need to go to court to resolve this... Read more »
Can the judge revoke the misdemeanor and reinstate the felony?
answered on Feb 2, 2023

The State has power over the charge and the judge power over the sentence. Depending on what type of misdemeanor you pled to you can still receive up to a year... Read more »
Since my money pays the attorney why is that not a conflict of interest if I sue the HOA.
answered on Feb 2, 2023

now 18 and state of Fl sent father letter saying he no longer had to pay child support. Mother filed again in Puerto Rico since they recognize a child until age 21. Does father still have to pay even though FL said he doesn’t because the child is now 18 and considered an adult in FL?

You need to look at which jurisdiction (state) issued the child support order. If the original order was from Florida and it has terminated because the child has emancipated then you can use that as evidence if there is a new action filed in PR. If the original order is from PR then you are subject... Read more »
