Very likely he will face charges related to this. Typically in this situation like this, the police would have a blood draw and will charge him based on those results when they come back. And obviously it will be easy to confirm driving without a license, which is a misdemeanor itself.

This situation is complex enough to warrant a consult with an elder law attorney AND a financial planner to help you all run through various scenarios and outcomes. In fact, there is so many products and strategies out there that you may just want to get at least two solid opinions because there... View More

Short of complaining to the pediatrician about the RN - which there may be some ethical violations related to her licensing, and certainly bad business in any regard, but I don't think there's anything else you can do about her. The wrongdoing here is obviously with your husband, and with... View More

I am sorry to hear this. I don't think this is a 1983 claim though. Has the defendant been sentenced? If you haven't already, you should ask to speak with the elected prosecutor. And if the person hasn't been sentenced, you can certainly speak at sentencing about this. Unfortunately,... View More

Assuming you are in the midst of a divorce, you should negotiate this arrangement now. Otherwise, you can later file a motion to change domicile if it becomes necessary to relocate. However, there is a whole host of criteria a judge would need to consider at that time other than just it makes... View More

"There was probate, but I wasn't told if the house was involved."

The answer to this will tell you what you're looking at. Several things may be happening:

-your parent deeded the house to your sister before death, had your sister on the deed as a joint tenant,... View More

Great question. To my knowledge, all supervision agencies would require on-site visits for liability reasons (they don't want their employees out some place they can't really control and in what could be a volatile situation). While not ideal (it costs time, money, and let's face it:... View More

Let's consider a few things here:

You pled to delivering or manufacturing meth with, presumably, a recommended sentence of no more than 48 months. Your guidelines otherwise call for a sentence exceeding 78 months. Those are prison guidelines, and if you get anything less than prison,... View More

Many agencies require signed releases before engaging with services. The reason being is that they need complete information about you to provide services, and don't want to be in a position where they give you inaccurate information or the misguided services based only on what you disclose or...

The time period to appeal is very short and is explained in your copy of the court order. There are several actions you need to take to successfully appeal, and they need to be done timely or you completely miss the opportunity.

A written agreement would be most helpful in this matter; otherwise, the terms in your lease would be controlling. Fortunately, those general provisions would favor you: any permanent / structural changes to the property generally stay with the property.

In short, yes. PTO and FMLA are not mutually exclusive. FMLA covers longer terms of leave for which you are ensured 1) your job upon your return, and 2) continued health insurance coverage. In relevant part, FMLA means you can't be fired or lose insurance coverage for protected periods of... View More

Sue them for what? If the house was sold, you have no insurable interest in the property, even if you are still paying premiums on it. You would essentially double-dip if you already received the sale proceeds, and now you were to receive the insurance payout. That's like insuring your... View More

Lots of risk...the cost to mitigate the risks may make it hard to turn a profit.

Let's start with business licensing / regulation. Going from house-to-house may mean you need to check multiple jurisdictions to ensure you are operating legitimately. If you have two clients on either... View More

In all cases where children are involved, whether as victims or witnesses, the police would contact Child Protective Services (CPS). That agency is responsible for the investigation, removal, and possibly placement of children in abusive or neglectful situations.

If a parent is arrested... View More

I understand what you're saying but look at it this way: probation is in lieu of jail. You wouldn't be drinking alcohol in jail, would you?

And if you're in veterans treatment court, the counter argument would be made that drinking is contraindicative of the treatment and... View More

No one can answer your question better than the lawyer you're talking to, who should have access to all the same details you do. And usually a lawyer would consider a contingency fee agreement for a case like this so rest assured he or she will definitely let you know whether it's worth it.

The property will not change hands until someone (usually an heir) commences the probate process. It is not uncommon, although unwise for a number of reasons, for houses to be held in a deceased person's name while family members continue to live there for sometimes multiple generations. As...

Can he file? Yes. Will it be granted? Hard to tell. Generally any restrictions would involve the kids.

I do not believe there are provisions exclusive to incarcerated individuals. I think he'll need to contact his student loan servicing agency, or have someone do it on his behalf through a power of attorney form. I would think it's a matter of certifying each year that he has no income... View More
