A motion would not be the proper vehicle. The victim needs to contact the prosecutor's office, or if it has one, specifically the victim / witness coordinator. Some judges will want the victim to state it on the record, and usually during a plea or sentencing. But keep in mind that the judge... Read more »
If he is a witness or victim, then yes, he must testify. Be aware that if any information surfaces that you as the parent are discouraging or otherwise hindering him from testifying, you could be charged with witness tampering, and you could find yourself subject to a CPS investigation.
No. A minor guardianship suspends parental rights. If there is one legal parent without concerns that would arise to threatening his or her parental rights, then the court cannot make a finding of need for a guardianship. If there is one legal parent, and that person agrees to have a grandparent be... Read more »
Everytime i got him to call, he says my wife is listening on speaker too.. so i don't think there going to disclose any info. If its a privacy law Is there a way around it?
What information are you seeking? If the phone is in his name, then he has access to his records. Instead of involving the phone company, why does he not just download them and give them to you, or give you online access to those records?
If he is unwilling to cooperate, then you should... Read more »
Yes, your first step is to call the legal aid office that services your county. Most offices service multiple counties. They will require some information to verify your eligibility.
He’s been living in the house since the split, I wasn’t sure if I could afford at that time. But now I know I could and am struggling to find a 3 bedroom I can afford.
Have either of you filed a divorce? The home would be subject to division as part of the marital estate, but you'll have a tough hill to climb in getting the court to order him out since he's been there for all this time alone.
I got into a car accident on June 15 2020. I was leaving from my credit union. I was there to inquire about the discounted auto insurance that they offered. I didn't qualify So I was going to go home get some over the phone. As i was trying to leave out of a one way exit this young lady pulls... Read more »
I don't believe that's true. What you are referring to is often called the "mini-tort" statute. It requires you to have insurance, as it's intended to reimburse you for your deductible.
is it legal for him to be taking ownership yet? what are my rights? how do i get an attorney for this matter? how do you proceed to probate?
I agree with the advice given by the other attorneys. I would further add that you are unlikely to receive assistance from the police in this matter; they will likely tell you it's a civil matter, and you'll need to go to court to address it. And that's exactly where you should go:... Read more »
Father disgarees. School continues to mark them absent I am now charged with truancy. School states due to joint custody I need his approval first.
Assuming you mean joint legal custody, then yes, you would need the father's consent to any major education changes. Have you discussed this with him? If not, and if in fact you are charged with truancy, you run the risk of being on the wrong end of a custody change.
I broke up with my girlfriend. I wanted the bed that I let her daughter borrow back. She responded in text “have a lawyer draw up papers that you will never talk to my family and that if you do you have to pay me $10,000. Then you can have it back”. This seems illegal to me but I cant seem to... Read more »
Probably not illegal, but probably wrong and unenforceable. You might need to file a claim and delivery action in district court to get the bed back.
The schedule that the judge gave me now is alot of back and forth with the father.
Judges make decisions based on the best interest of the child; there is no "normal" parenting time schedule because every situation is different. That said, the intent is to create an equitable (not necessarily equal) parenting time arrangement. And with young children, the thought is... Read more »
States that participate in the interstate compact will honor the restrictions / suspended imposed by the initial state.
Have you satisfied all conditions imposed by Florida? Since 2008 is a rather long time. Michigan will keep your license suspended, though, so long as Florida says it... Read more »
Father lives in Florida son in Michigan. Child is seven years old has never had any contact with his father. Father has lost custody of two children in the past. One is in foster care. He also has a fourth son who is in Michigan and has absolutely no rights to. He has went to jail for a csc charge... Read more »
Highly unlikely. If anything, a period of time for your son to get to know this man may take place. That could be in the form of video conferencing. Then, depending on how that goes, the father may be afforded some parenting time to take place here in Michigan.
Is it legal for my estranged husband to take a vehicle that is from a buy here pay here lot registration and payments / contract is solely in my name leanholder did not even know the vehicle was in a differnt state did not authorize the transport of vehicle
Have you filed for a divorce? Until you do, there is little anyone will be able to do for you here.
And they dropped the charges when my husband and children left the state and now it shows up on my record but it says it's nulled how do I get that taken care of
What record are you looking at? It's possible and likely that an arrest record remains even when charges are dropped or expunged.
Is this a riddle? The son is almost assuredly not the biological son of the father-in-law. Otherwise, the father-in-law impregnated someone at the age of 8. The son could be an older woman's son, and that woman married a 19 year old, making him the father-in-law. That scenario would be legal.
They have footage of who took it and we made a police report, but I want to file a lawsuit against their neglected security of my product after taking custody of it, am I in good standings?
I'm not sure what you would gain from it economically. Generally, one party's liability ends upon another party's criminal action. If there is video footage of this, I'm unsure what other security measures Goodwill could be expected to take. Further, stores are usually not... Read more »
am listed as living daughter. Everything going through probate. Told me there is Exempt Property Allowance that I would be entitled in Michigan half of $15,000. He doesn’t think I am entitled because my “father” never had a relationship with me. He also says that if I take this money I will... Read more »
If there is a will, it must be submitted to the probate court, from where you may obtain a copy. You are also entitled to receive copies of everything your brother files.
Now, it's possible that the will disinherits you; in which case your brother would be right. Other than that, it... Read more »
time for another company in the State of Michigan, and I live in Michigan year round. I taught it 100% remotely over online tools. What taxes in PA am I responsible for?
You should discuss with a CPA or other tax professional, and you may want to consult with a similarly qualified person in PA.
it was denied on 08/20/2015. is that to long ago to appeal their decision and get the compensation i paid extra for out of my paycheck? it was an 80,000 policy and i received none. my bac was only a little above the legal limit. and the way they took it was sketchy and contradicts themselves.
You should talk with an insurance attorney, but I suspect 1) it is too late to now appeal that decision, and 2) even if you did appeal, I would imagine the policy allows them to decline coverage when they can point to a criminal act like this as the cause.
