I am unaware of any such law. However, you could likely find yourself with an animal abuse charge for keeping a dog out in cruel conditions.

Insurance can find out before any judgment is rendered on the ticket, so you're out of luck there. Best way to get the ticket dismissed is to challenge it if they, in fact, cannot prove you were speeding.

My boyfriend is the father of my two kids. We moved here 2.5 months ago. He had been sober but right after moving here started drinking again. We are not married and have no kind of custody agreement. His family is going to help me leave. Am I able to take the kids back to Minnesota legally?

No attorney can provide you specific advice on this situation without knowing more. Generally, however, no custody order means no rights have yet been established for either party.
And is there a state law protecting the name of minors?
answered on Nov 19, 2020
There is no such right bestowed upon you. Your second question is too vague.

Secondly, if this case is in North Dakota and you were denied a public defender by... View More

Maybe - here's why. When you say that you were "working" at someone's home, the question is too vague for me to determine whether this is a workers' compensation or personal injury case. Secondly, the homeowner must be negligent for you to make recovery. There's a big... View More
