My boyfreind is in cape town. His UK bank account was locked so he had me send him my own funds through bitcoin. Now he had a "client" send me a check to deposit in my account so he could pull it through Krakken. The bank closed my account and said the check is fraudulant. I called... View More

Ask the bank to verify it. But it sounds fishy. You should be able to get your funds out of the bank. You sent your money to someone in S.Africa whose UK bank account was locked? That does look like more than a few red flags. Your boyfriend didn't even pay but had a "client" pay?... View More

I got denied for unemployment and im not sure if i should file an appeal or if im just going to waste my time in doing so.

Well, to be blunt, if you are not employed you don't have much to lose except your time, and you have free time. Without knowing the case it's hard to say but it's certainly worth a shot. If you are not working check with legal aid if someone will give you a free consult.
My cousin was left with me 3 years ago how do I file abandonment charges on her dad
answered on Jun 4, 2021
your local bar association can give you names. Or you can ask the family court who seems to handle adoptions and similar proceedings.
My son's father is not listed on his birth certificate and my husband wants to adopt my son. I don't know who the father of my son actually is. What do i do to get him to adopt my son?
answered on Jun 4, 2021
You will need to hire an attorney, but it seems that what you would do is file a petition to extinguish the father's rights. The court will order that there be a publication in the legal notices, etc.
While it might be possible to get a court to treat your husband as a step parent,... View More

I agree with Mr. Grabow. Understand companies base your case on the medical records, what they say. You stop seeing a doctor or you only tell the doctor 3 out of 7 things, they will say "doesn't look like much."
her mother is scared i might get in trouble bc of us dating so i just wanted to prove to her that i won’t
answered on Jun 2, 2021
Assuming that you are only dating with no sexual activity you may date freely. However the age of consent is 16 so at that point, should you engage in sex, that would be legal.
Both of these devices used together would drastically improve the function of both devices. Is there a certain point I would have to hit to be considered improved enough? Or does the invention have to be significantly different than both? Thank you

you want to refile under patents & trademarks. This topic deals with who is at fault when a product malfunctions or is of an unsafe design and someone is killed or injured.
Patent questions are highly technical, and you need to look for a certified patent attorney and pay for their... View More
I can't afford a unit to live alone due to the prices in our area and is it ok to live with him in our apartment now but as a Single Mom?

Contact legal services or Catholic family services. The problem is that the "standard of need" tends to be artificial, and out of date. You need to find out what is available for you in terms of pulbic housing, housing assistance etc.

I was told some states require wrongful death awards to go through their court to disburse funds to the beneficiaries, over-riding the terms in the deseased's will.
answered on Jun 2, 2021
You should get advice from the attorney who represented you. In some cases part of the award goes through the estate and part does not. The wrongful death award does not get taxed. You may have other recoveries for medical expenses for which a deduction was taken and those would be taxed.

I assume you mean a 30 day notice to quit. If you got sued but no notice that would be invalid. You are required to get a full 30 days before your next rent is due.

Contact a member of the Consumer Attorneys of California (CAOC)--they give free consults. It's possible you have a case though I'm not sure if it is likely to cover the costs of bringing it.
I stayed at a friend's apartment, got there 9:30 pm and left 6:30 am. When i got to my car, there was a boot on the car. The paper said they put it on at 2:40 in the morning. Can they do that?

Not clear who the they are. If it was on private property, possible they could. If it's on public property, only the police should do it and thats for unpaid tickets. But in most states no warning is necessary. Speak with an attorney in your area who handles traffic issues once you know the... View More

Looks to me like the statute of limitations in Tennessee is one year. If it is over a year you can't proceed. Contact attorneys who handle "police misconduct." You need exact dates.

I'm not getting why your vehicle was towed. And from private property. Here's the problem--you can go after the person responsible, but in the meantime your car is sitting racking up storage rates at a lot of dollars per day. I suggest you need to talk to the tow people, be very polite,... View More

He has to respond. He can ask to substitute you, but as you defaulted which is why they are going after him, they may say "naaaah--we want him!"
