I submitted paper work for my severance pay and waited the 10 days to receive the paycheck. It’s been 13 days and I’ve been told by my Employee Service Center that paperwork was never submitted. I have bills to pay and need that check.

Once he was transferred from the Whiteside County Jail in Morrison, IL to Menard his visitation rights expired. He asked me, a pastor, what he would need to do to get them reinstated at his new location.
If the prior visitation order was granted by an Illinois court, he'll need to have an attorney file a request to modify parenting time in the circuit court for the county that issued the prior order.

He sexually kissed my 16 year old daughter, but I never filed a police report. Also, he threatens to have me taken to jail if I don't let him in? I am married. We dont feel comfortable with him in the home. The police said I cant force him to leave, but can they force me to let him in?

Although you can seek an order of protection on your own, I recommend that you contact a lawyer about this. If it's worth doing, it's worth being sure it... Read more »

Can my neighbor forces me to trim my trees, bushes and vegetation overhanging his property line ?
Can my neighbor to call the police regarding this problem ?
Can I get a ticket from the police officer for overhanging trees, bushes, limbs and vegetation ?
The alternative to you trimming your trees and bushes is that the neighbor will do it. He or she can cut the overhanging vegetation right up to the property line -- which means he or she may do it badly and inadvertently harm your plants. Be a good neighbor, prune the stuff.
