I looked bad things on the internet and the FBI ended up investigating me, I'm from Spain, and I have no criminal record, only the FBI has investigated me, can I still emigrate to the USA?
answered on Apr 13, 2022
This is in immigration question. As regards the FBI, at one time or another everyone gets investigated by them, I think. In fact, before you would be allowed to immigrate, I am sure that a background check would be done, and probably by the FBI.

first of all, go see a good bankruptcy/financial distress lawyer. It sounds to me like the statute of limitation might have run. If that is the case, then you have an action against the law firm.
That aside, bankruptcy could be your solution, but only a good local lawyer can give you that... View More
I’ve been told the court only excepts payment through Bitcoin. I find that hard to believe. Is this a scam? My friend hit a parked car but didn’t stop. There was no injuries. He is under house arrest now. I’m not comfortable paying that way
answered on Apr 12, 2022
That is a problem.
I would contact a solicitor in Sydney and ask for advice in that regard.

What is the subject of the outstanding warrant?
Bankruptcy does not address criminal matters, so I don't see the connection.
Go see a local bankruptcy lawyer for assistance and explanation
They want me to set up payment or go to court. I can’t go to court it’s 7 hours away can’t take off of work. Is there anything I can do or can I just ignore it?

Talk to a bankruptcy lawyer in your community to help you evaluate your options.

I make 1635 a month for 2 people and I have 4 loans that total 700 per month and my home and utilities are 600. Im not behind yet but i just can't keep up. I know it would damage my credit but can I alternate payments every other month or would bankruptcy be my best option?
answered on Apr 3, 2022
It certainly sounds like an option.
You should visit with a bankruptcy lawyer in your community to go over the details and your unique situation. Most good lawyers do not charge for the initial conference

I am glad you recognize your mistakes, but my advice is to seek out a GOOD BANKRUPTCY LAWYER, not a consumer office that handles consumer bankruptcies on a large scale.

You didn't ask a question directly, but the implication is whether you can file under your facts.
The short answer is Yes, but you may not qualify for the automatic stay--your lawyer will have to file a motion to have that granted.

I am not so sure you are correct. Have you talked to a Bankruptcy lawyer where you live now? To have jurisdiction where you now live you have to have lived "the greater part of the last 180 days".
Go see the lawyer

You live in Wisconsin, and it is a community property state. As a result, you probably have a different set of exemptions.
Here in Florida that IRA might be exempt, but you need to talk to a lawyer local to you to figure out your situation.

Jurisdiction to resolve custody issues lies with the court of competent jurisdiction where they are domiciled/living.
You need to see a solicitor in your area that specializes in family law.
