You do not provide enough information for anyone on this forum to answer this question. Presumably child services was called because that was the closet relative placement and the fact of your arrest did not allow you to care for your son. If you are out of jail then you might get him back but... Read more »
Not sure of your question. Usually the plaintiff signs the Complaint which is filed, then served on the defendant. In an Irreconcilable Differences Divorce, noone is getting a divorce until all agree and the Judge grants it.
If a contractor has done shoddy work and has not yet finished the job or fixed the issues - Can I bring them to small claims court? How long do I have to do so? Can I seek a refund on monies already paid? They have stopped returning my calls. They are also way past when they promised the work would... Read more »
Yes. You can file a claim in Tennessee's version of small claims court- called General Sessions Court. You would feel out a pleading called a Warrant. You can also report the contractor to the state licensing board.
The landlord was notified over 60 days ago and is threatening eviction although repairs have yet to be made.
No, that would be a breach of your Lease Contract. You probably need to look for another place to live because ultimately you will lose possession.
If the Party is the sender or receiver, that evidence can be admitted. He must authenticate the transmissions.
My fiancé got physical with me and threatened to kill me so I call the police when they arrived we were outside and my firearm was in the house de cocked and unloaded she asked to see the fire arm then took it claiming it was for safekeeping then I was arrested on a domestic charge and I was the...

Yes... You need a competent attorney immediately. That Charge is worse than some Felonies. If this does not go right, you will have a permanent Firearm Disability.
I have encountered people who maintain that driving the speed limit in the left lane is illegal because it doesn't permit them to drive 15 mph over the limit.
No, it is not illegal.
Can they do this? this is the terms of the lease
"1. No signs, notices or advertisements shall be attached to or displayed by Lessee(s) on or about said premises.
2. Nothing shall be placed or kept on the outer sill or on the outside of any window and nothing shall be thrown... Read more »
File a protest, and also notify the press, the American legion and the Tennessee Civil Liberties Union.
If enough press is thrown on this, could make them back down.
Note however patriotic would be the American Flag. Signs promoting one candidate or belittling another are not in... Read more »
The party without the 401k does not want any of it. In leu of dividing it, I took on more debt and he received more physical items such as furniture, etc.
I see that the online forms available state they cannot be used if a party has a retirement account; however, I also have been told that... Read more »
If the party without the 401K wants any part of it, a very good lawyer will be required even if there is an agreement. QDRO's are very stringent and few attorneys (and Judges) know anything about them. Knowingly giving up a marital interest in property is a serious thing.
This code 40-39-211 mentions whose victim or victims of offender was a minor
What is your question?
Yes, I am a 30 year old man who has been married to a 65 year old woman who is a very successful financial advisor for around 2 years now. On March 20th of this year, I immigrated to the United States. She is also my sponsor to the United States. As I arrived in Utah, United States where she is... Read more »
It's a little difficult to answer your question, because there is a lot of information that is missing. I am assuming that you have a two year conditional green card. I don't know if you are divorced yet. If so, you may be able to petition to keep your green card.
I would... Read more »
I'm curious about changing an age of consent law in TN.
Run for the Legislature. I doubt any Senator or Representative is willing to sponsor your proposed Bill.
Father left house to one of his kids and lifetime residence to spouse via a will to avoid probate. Assets on the property were not addressed in the will. Lawyer said assets do not belong to the child who inherited the house and should be divided amongst spouse and other children. Is this correct?
If the Will is not probated, it has no effect. And the purported Will probably does address both real and personal property. Without the Will being probated, the Heirs At Law own the real property and the Next of Kin (same as heirs) own the personal property. With no Will, the Heirs are all... Read more »
Unless there is a protective order in place your lawyer should provide you a copy.
Generally speaking, yes. But 30 % refers to when you are eligible for your first Parole
Board Hearing, which you may or may not be successful at. Many Prisoners go at least to two Parole Boards prior to being released. Remember Parole is not easy either. You will want to closely... Read more »
The boyfriend can be prosecuted for Statutory Rape.
There is no perfect way to protect assets, but the sooner the better. Consult with a competent attorney about risks and Deed options.
The officer who pulled me over didn't state on the ticket that it was reckless, but I'm afraid I'll be charged as such. This is my first ticket ever but I'm afraid I'll be subject to jail time. Is hiring an attorney my best bet?
Apparently you handled yourself well when the stop occurred. The Citation can be amended, but I doubt it will be anything worse than the 29 MPH over. That Violation will add 5 points to your MVR, so you must be careful for the next year. An attorney might help, especially as nervous as you... Read more »
Cumberland county Tennessee is the location. Seller resides in FL
I recommend hiring a competent attorney to sue for possession. A Detainer Warrant may work if the SOL has not run, but an Ejectment Action in a Court of Record may be necessary. Publication Notice may also be necessary. This could be difficult, or it could be fairly simple. Hopefully it is no... Read more »
Yes and no. Waiting a year will have minimal to no impact on secured creditors. They can always foreclose on their collateral even after a year has passed from date of death.
Also, the one year statute of limitations does not apply to Tenncare and most other government... Read more »
