Q: I don't get my full order of child support can I request more if I feel it's not enough I only get half what they order
Neville Bedford's answer
If you are getting cash assistance and food stamps, you may not receive any of the child support as the sate will likely intercept it to reimburse themselves for monies paid. Talk to your social worker and case worker.

I just reread the second posting of the same question. You were tricked BUT you legitimately purchased ITUNES cards. That is a problem. Contact the Itunes seller and see if they might be able to reverse those charges and cancel the cards. It is possible you may have no recourse as you were duped into believing that law enforcement is now accepting ITUNES payments. Much like the bitcoin - western union and other scams that are operating.

Q: Would credit card bank have to return money you charged to pay someones bail then found out you were scammed?
Neville Bedford's answer
Contact your credit card companies dispute resolution department and let them know you would like to dispute these fraudulent charges. Report the scam to the attorney general's office to help protect others.

Q: If i get back together with my husband but have a custody order do we have to go baxk to court
Neville Bedford's answer
Talk to your lawyer about the necessity of modifying the court order to reflect the actual circumstances. Depending on what it says, they will best be able to advise you what changes are necessary, if any. If you don't have a lawyer, consider contacting one of the fine attorneys here on Justia whom offer Free, in person, confidential consultations.

Q: Just a question. Yesterday i took my 2007 Lexus is250 to in-skip Lexus. The Catalytic converter needed to be replace. T
Neville Bedford's answer
I am not a mechanic but I suspect these two items may be related and suspect it is possible that they were unaware of the O2 sensor problem before the very expensive Catalytic converter was replaced. Hopefully, you came to some arrangement to keep your car on the road, This fellow seems to have figured out how to do it himself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEoCVvhi0Xw Of course, I am not recommending tearing your car apart yourself unless you have the skills and tools to do that.

Q: ongoing mouse problem in apt, Now exterminators are baiting my apt while I'm here w dog. Can I vacate without penalty?
Neville Bedford's answer
You say you are in Brighton MA but you posted your question in Rhode Island. If you are able to negotiate an early termination of your lease, you will be most easily able to move and terminate the lease. If you are not able to come to an acceptable arrangement with your land/mice lord, then meet with a local attorney to review your lease, the evidence of the infestation, and all communications you have had regarding mice and men.

Q: My ex husband has sole legal custody of my 3 year old son but left the state without my permission. What can I do?
Neville Bedford's answer
If you already have a court order for visitation, you can file a contempt motion with the court. It will be important to get him served with the motion so you will need to find out where he is living. Many family lawyers face this problem regularly and have some methods of discovering the address of "Departed parents". Meet with one and explore your options.

Q: If your mans kids are in dcyf and you have a kid with him will dcyf take your kid or get involved at all?
Neville Bedford's answer
That is difficult to predict based on the thin facts you present. Meet with a family law attorney to discuss the particulars in PRIVATE. I expect you do NOT want to discuss your man's personal affairs on the open internet - nor should you.

Q: If my car passed state inspection can they still give me a ticket for my car ? Even if the exhaust is after market ?
Neville Bedford's answer
If the car is complaint with all state regulations and has a current inspection sticker, it is not likely you will receive a ticket for the offense of having a non-complaint inspection. However, If your aftermarket exhaust is found to violate local noise ordinance, you may receive a ticket for that offense - varies by town/city.
Here is a snippet of the COVENTRY RI ORDINANCE: http://ecode360.com/6647191

Q: Do we need a lawyer for aggressive driving hearing in the state of Rhode Island?
Neville Bedford's answer
A lawyer could be of significant assistance as the prosecution has NO interest in your disposition and is primarily interested in increasing their convictions. Yes, they are often lenient on first offenders. BUT, depending on the FACTS, you may well have a case that could be presented by an attorney to increase your chances of receiving a more favorable result.

Q: what happens if the person seeking child support misses the court date
Neville Bedford's answer
Meet with your Child Support Enforcement Officer or Attorney that is representing you. They should be able to look into your case and see if the matter was continued, or passed. Often child support cases do not address custody, so you may have to open another case - to get the court to address issues of custody and visitation. A family court lawyer should be able to help you. If you are not the custodial parent, you may not be entitled to child support but this is best discerned after...
