You will have to speak to the Prosecutor about dropping the charges. You are not bringing the charges against your husband; the State is. Several factors will come into play, e.g., the severity of the injuries, if any, the circumstances of the assault, the history between you and your husband, your... Read more »
Also, there was nothing in Plain view, and there were no exigent circumstances.

It really depends on the circumstances. Typically, law enforcement can enter one's property without a warrant if, like you said, there were exigent circumstances or in pursuit of someone who the officer was notified was engaged in wrongdoing.

Hire a MS attorney to search the title and determine heirship. Then draft a deed from the other siblings over to you, with at least a proper derivation of title clause if not a recorded affidavit of heirship. Get them to execute deed, then record it.

You will need to redirect your question to an attorney licensed in Florida.
Whether it is Real Estate, an Automobile, etc. Does the spouse who holds title retain the property in divorce?

Mississippi is an equitable distribution state. The name on the title does not determine who will ultimately end up with the property. The Court will look at the Ferguson factors to make the determination.

The time for appeal of a bankruptcy court order, to the US District Court, is ten days.
Most creditors will wait to take action for that time to appeal to expire before taking any action such as a repo of collateral that was part of the bankruptcy estate.
I am 16 living in MS. My parents are non-abusive but I can not stand living with them anymore. Is there a way I can put myself up for adoption without parental consent?

answered on Jan 17, 2023
No. You cannot put yourself up for adoption, and you cannot be adopted without the consent of both of your parents, unless a Court has terminated their parental rights.

If you have access to a computer, you can start an application for Social security by going to ssa.gov. Then apply for benefits. If you get denied you will then need to contact an attorney to help with the appeal process. You can also call the social security office and set up a phone call... Read more »

It really depends on the situation. The failure to tell a person their Miranda rights does not necessarily mean that the case will be dismissed; however, it could mean that any confession or statements made by the person may not be able to come in. Once again, though, it depends on the situation.

If you are current on your mortgage, you can file a Chapter 13, if eligible, and continue to pay your mortgage directly to your lender.

The quick answer is that the money taken from your disability money in the name of your child is child support. You do not say if there is a court order in place and, if so, what it says. That information is necessary to say whether the apportionment satisfies any directive from the Court.

answered on Jan 8, 2023
Your question is confusing. Whose social security number are you referring to…the child or the parent?
Once a person is determined to be the biological parent of a child, that person can be ordered to pay child support.
In 2022 I suffered a sudden onset of anxiety and depression after a bout with corona virus. With no known cause I began to go to doctors to try and seek out reason.

Hello!
For your issue, it sounds like you would need to talk to someone like me who specializes in ERISA short-term and long-term disability claims. If I gather correctly, it sounds like your issue is that Sedgwick has denied the claim because the disability policy does not cover loss of... Read more »

Yes, likely. You definitely have injuries and damages and it appears medical negligence caused it.
Name was changed and all. DHS keeps taking money out of my brothers paycheck. If he was adopted after my brother signed over his rights, would DHS get a copy sent over once he was adopted to stop taking money out of his checks? And if not, how could they change the child’s last name without being... Read more »

answered on Dec 22, 2022
DHS would not automatically receive a copy of the adoption Order. If your brother has a copy, he should take them a copy or contact the caseworker and them that one was entered. However, if your brother was behind on his child support at the time of entry of the Order, he is still responsible for... Read more »

You don’t say which court found him guilty or give his age. If he was found guilty in Municipal, Justice, County, or Circuit, that tells me that he is not a juvenile. The Court will look to your son to pay the fine, not either of the parents, custodial or not. He committed the crime, so he pays... Read more »
