They are posting it everywhere on Facebook and getting people to attack us. The person who crashed into their parked car left a note and the number isn't my fiancé but somehow brought them to his Facebook account. What should we do?

Notify your insuance to be on the safe side. Have an attorney draft a cease and desist letter. They can also give you a couple of short sentences you can respond to. If they aren't getting a rise out of you, sooner or later they will find something else.

If your dad lived in Hawaii when he passed, then a probate action would be brought in Hawaii. You may want to repost your question under Hawaii.

The brief answer is that a non-custodial parent cannot relinquish/terminate their rights to their child, nor their child support obligation. The only two exceptions would be (1) the State (through Child Welfare Services/Department of Human Services) terminates the parent's rights to the child... View More

Hawaii law does not currently provide for series LLCs. If you wanted to use Hawaii LLCs, you would have to form multiple LLCs, which you could then stack under a holding company if you wanted. Alternatively, you could always just form your LLCs in a jurisdiction that allows series LLCs, e.g.,... View More

Short answer: yes. This can occur. The defendant would have to be indigent to have a PD. Private counsel would be there as a volunteer or pro bono and both counsel would have to consent to the dual counsel arrangement, as well as the client. Not an ideal way to proceed, but under that scenario,... View More

Depends on what the person is doing. For many aspects of engineering you don't need to be a licensed P.E.
As to "forensics" that will depend on whether a Court recognizes the individuals training, experience and background.
we live in nevada now and im wondering if i can set up the trust here in nevada.? i have not accepted any of the proposals yet.

That would make sense.You may want to set it up so that he doesn't get all the money by age 18, if the Court(s) will let you do that. Talk to an attorney who handles family law matters.It shouldn't be that expensive, so paying them per hour may make the most sense. Then when it's... View More
(one soon to be married) to come to the US, becomes a US citizen, will the change in immigration status of the petitioner affect the standing of the petition in regards to validity and place in the queue?
answered on Jun 29, 2016
Yes, your case will be automatically updated but it takes time for it to be done automatically. If you update your status yourself the process will be much faster. And the priority dates will also change after you become a U.S citizen.
All the best.

You usually have 60 days to leave the country after your I-94 expires. If it has been more than 60 days since your visa expired, you may have a ban.
All the best.

You do have a right to refuse a breathalyzer test, but the question is whether it is worth your while. By refusing the test, you can wind up being charged with your refusal (even if you are found not guilty for the DWI).
This is because when you obtained your license, you automatically... View More

No. If you are not on the account, you can't draw funds from it.
You need to file suit for legal separation (if allowed in your state) or divorce. Then you may be able to get a court order requiring him to support you and your children.
Does the executor of the will need to sign forms so the remaining spouse can get a reverse mortgage? Does this make the original will of the spouse that died first null? Does this mean that the heirs of the spouse that died first will not inherit after the property sale?
answered on Oct 27, 2015
It they owned the property as joint tenants with right of survivorship, the property passed to the surviving spouse by operation of law. So no,, the executor has no say in the matter. The will is not void, but the property doesn't pass by the will. And yes, the heirs named in the will get... View More

When you have a question you have to give enough basic information. You have not stated what type of harassment is involved here. Perhaps a personal injury attorney is needed, perhaps just a general practitioner. Actually going to see an attorney could be quite helpful.
Is there any legal action I can take? Any advice?
answered on Sep 19, 2015
This forum does not have many attorneys who answer questions in your state. Go see a local one.
answered on Aug 12, 2015
Any attorney with experience in this area. There is most likely a government agency that you can make a complaint with about this. The state attorney general or solicitor general might be able to point you in the right direction.
