Hi.

Attorneys are prohibited from soliciting in the Ask a Lawyer section. However, a search in the directory based on your needs should help you find good options for this matter.

Thanks.

Ah, what an interesting legal area! Games-related cases date back quite a bit. On the analog side, you have Parker Brothers (now Hasbro) fighting to protect Monopoly by imitators like anti-Monopoly and Ghettopoly over decades. On the digital side, you can all all the way back to Pong for video game... View More

If you can agree on the terms of the divorce - e.g., equitable distribution, spousal maintenance, custody if relevant, etc. - through private negotiations with each other, then you may be able to proceed with the formal divorce process in an uncontested capacity. This can essentially amount to no... View More

This sounds like a “Garden Leave Provision.”

It’s not like you can be stopped from leaving, so the question is whether it’s enforceable, and if so, what are the damages they deserve for an employee breach of that particular demand.

An attorney would probably need more... View More

I'd refer you to Domestic Relations Law Section 230 for the residency requirements:

DRL 230: Required residence of parties.

An action to annul a marriage, or to declare the nullity of a void marriage, or for divorce or separation may be maintained only when:

1. The... View More

The answer to your question may come down to the extent to which each party is acting in good faith or bad faith. While it is impossible for an attorney to give you a fully confident answer based on the limited facts, if you have behaved in an honest fashion with respect to this marriage, and your... View More

The SEC may deem this "selective" or "privileged" disclosure, which would fall under the umbrella of insider trading. The concern here is the fact that it's an invite-only event, and SEC rules tend to distinguish between open settings and those to which "the little... View More

Hi.

Much, if not the entirety of this matter may have to do with the terms of that agreement. Other than that, existing law may afford tenants some rights and protections against landlords under certain circumstances. An attorney cannot properly answer this question, however, without... View More

In addition, law schools have law clinics that may take divorce clients.

Given the facts at hand, you appear to be on the right track. A seminal case is Lowe v. SEC, 472 U.S. 181 (1985), which essentially declared that an exclusion from the definition of investment adviser is available to any publisher of a newsletter as long as remains entirely impersonal and does not...

The first question you have to ask and answer is whether it has been a full year since the separation took effect. If not, then you will have to wait until then before you can use the separation as grounds for the divorce [DRL 170(6)].

After a year, you can "convert" the... View More

You may need to seek a custody order, assuming you currently don't have one. From the facts provided, I'm not sure if you have a formal separation agreement in place, and if so, what it stipulates. But establishing your custodial rights through a legal process may be your best option.... View More

I'm sorry that this is happening. Absent any court order, you have a right to live in your marital home. Furthermore, I cannot imagine an order that kicks you out of the apartment without at least ensuring that you are adequately accommodated. If your husband is attempting any actions... View More

While one lawyer cannot represent both parties (conflict of interest concerns abound!), an attorney acting as a mediator would be considered a neutral party in the divorce process; the parties would, in that situation, technically be representing themselves. You'd have difficulty finding a... View More
