Idaho used to have a statute that said that a parent who fail to have normal parent/child relationship for over one year without just cause was guilty of abandonment and subject to having rights terminated. I do not know personally why that law was abandoned by the Idaho legislature but it has... View More

No. Restitution is not a "joint and several" obligation unless there are more than one defendants who create the restitution issue through crime. Restitution is personal. It does not pass legally like another death might.

Most states respect other states' laws, as long as judgments were rendered with die process. VA issued you a valid DL for 5 minutes. That's actually a much shorter time than I would have guessed, with high speed computers and other means of transmission. Once VA discovered your DL status... View More

Good afternoon,

Did you sue the debtor in California? or Idaho? Wherever you got your judgment is where you will file your "post judgment" motions. However, that's where the difficulty lies in trying to haul someone from CA to Idaho after the judgment. The subpoena power... View More

Your wife is entitled 1/4, as you have only 1/2 interest with your mother, so your wife is entitled 1/2 of your community interest.

There is no Idaho criminal law prohibiting an adult female from sharing a bedroom with a family member.

Its probably too late to answer this question? Did you get arrested? That is pretty typical, especially if you've been on Pre-Trial Release for a drug offense. Just be positive and, if this is your first PV, hopefully the District Court will agree to reinstate you on felony probation. Trick... View More

You have the right to hire an attorney, if you want to? You are the State's witness and a "victim" pursuant to the Victim's Rights Statute in Idaho. Under that law, you have the right to meaningful notice of how they're handling this prosecution. Be patient, and... View More

Are you writing as the child's mother? I got a little confused when you mentioned "him." In my book, there is NOTHING worse than an adult male abusing an underage female, period. That is, except a female who would manufacture a charge as serious, as heinous and hideous as lewd... View More

It's ALL in your contract. If they broke their contract with you, you can sue them for the reasonable value of your generator, less the money they gave you for pawn, plus the money you paid in monthly payments. Good luck to you!

P.S., sue them in Small Claims Court.

I would try contacting the local Chrysler/Dodge dealership and see what instructions they give you and follow that. I don't know of any law in Idaho, giving you the right to place a lien on personal property which you gave permission to store a pickup on.

I am a practicing member of the Idaho State Bar, my friend and have multiple lawsuits I can reference pleadings for if I need to. However, a "Template?" I'm sorry, no set of facts are the same; and, even the Rules of Civil Procedure have changed, just since my last suit. So, it... View More

Police can legally hold "evidence of a crime," for a long as it takes for them to prosecute the passenger and convict him AND for his appeal time (42 days) to run. After that, it should just take a phone call to the Sheriff's Property Locker, for you to retrieve your phone. Be... View More

You can separate without having a formal Separation Order. In fact, if you file for Divorce, the law gives either of the parties the right to ask the court for a sort-of "time out," where the parties will be prohibited each from filing any kind of paper for a period of ninety (90) days,...

It sounds as though she did trick you, in order to establish residency in Idaho. I don't know what was going on at the time she wanted to move back to the states between you two. But it doesn't matter now. She has filed for divorce, in Idaho. Here are some suggestions, with the most... View More

Your question has a couple of issues:

1. Restitution being taken out of his commissary money. This is probably per statute, so there is nothing that you can do about it. Your husband will get out some day and will hopefully have a little, less, restitution that he has to pay, because... View More

It doesn't matter if you sign the Waiver of Speedy Trial or not. The Idaho Supreme Court has just issued a new Order which says that NO JURY TRIAL SHALL COMMENCE UNTIL DECEMBER, 2021, anyway. So, if you do sign it, your trial will probably be held in April. If you don't sign it, your... View More

If the cop was a "citizen" and not a cop, the question would be the same: can someone tell a potential employer information, which later serves as grounds for the company to fire an employee for fault? The answer is: yes.

A better question would be: can someone slander an... View More

The fact that you closed on the property even knowing that the property did not have 50 years left on the roof, will be used against you as an "affirmative defense," if you sue to get out of the contract. You may have a breach of contract claim, if you can show that the 50 yr warranty... View More

The VERY WORST thing an employer can do these days, is to draft up an "Employee Handbook." Idaho passed a law, rejecting unions, and making all work "at will." "AT WILL" is the worst thing that ever happened to workers in Idaho, because employers can literally fire... View More
