Every contract for the sale of a car, includes "small print" provisions. If you carefully read all of the "fine print" provisions of the "extended warranty" addendum to the contract, it SHOULD say somewhere that after four months, the company may raise the payment to... View More

I would go to the county courthouse and ask where the Recorder's office is. Once there, i would give them either an address or description of the property and ask to see all of the recorded documents on that piece of land. That will give you a complete look at the property's history, show... View More

Can his new 25 year old girlfriend get in trouble as well ? They both allow it even tho it's illegal in idaho

Your daughter is too young to have sex with a 21 year old man, period. IF the father permits them to live together, as "house mates," no foul. If the father allows them to sleep in the same bed, that is illegal and NO the girlfriend has NO liability, because she has NO rights to your... View More
Can the parameters of the protection still be enforced if in a temporary divorce order?

Yes, these two documents, Civil Protection Orders sometime continue through the divorce proceeding. However, the Civil Protection Order is a "stand alone document," and doesn't need a divorce proceeding to survive. The statute says that after the first continuance of the CPO, you... View More

What is your question? WA is a community property state, so is Idaho. The property you purchased is "presumed" to be 1/2 his.
You can "prove" you purchased the property with "separate money," but it will be your burden to prove. The fact that he signed a... View More

Idaho is one of 9 states which have "community property laws." This means that from the date of marriage until divorce or death, everything purchased, from cars to houses, belong equally to both husband and wife. Of course, parties often attempt to "over rule" those laws, as... View More

An Idaho attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. It's usually not a problem in most settings. You included personal injury as a category. If that means the question is related to personal injury litigation, you could specify which address is to be used for process... View More

Only an Idaho attorney should advise here, but your question remains open for two weeks. Most law firms that handle such cases offer free initial consults. Yes, every state has a time limit.

I have asked via phone, email, and text. What options do I have?
answered on Aug 10, 2021
If I were you, I would file a Motion for Contempt. This motion will put him on notice quickly, that you are NOT playing games and if he continues to play "keep away," he may actually end of spending time in jail.

She has been refusing me visitation with our son, i moved to idaho to be near him.
We got married but she didnt turn in paperwork
answered on Jul 30, 2021
Yes she can. At this point, until you establish parental RIGHTS to your child, the ONLY thing Idaho gives you are RESPONSIBILITIES! Financial responsibilities. However, just because you're paying child support, that doesn't bestow a SINGLE RIGHT on you. To get RIGHTS to a child, you... View More

Yes. Idaho has no statute of limitations for collecting child support. Suspending your DL is a Legislative creation. Chapter 12, Title 32. The limitation of 5 yrs. where did you get that? I have made a rather cursory check of the limitations of certain actions in Idaho, and unfortunately, I... View More

answered on Aug 2, 2021
The warranty that CANNOT be waived is the warranty that the "car will be fit for the purpose it was intended." If you bought the car "AS IS," did you ask any questions? Did you ask to have the car overnight to have a mechanic look at it? You also mentioned your question as a... View More

Are we required to move out? Is our lease being “sold” to the new owners? Do that have to hold to it?
If we have to move, can someone provide a source? I can’t find anything online about this.
answered on Jun 18, 2021
Sorry to tell you this but you have no other rights other than to move out. Hopefully, the new owner will give you thirty (30) days to move your things. That's tough, I know. Renters in Idaho have a tough row to hoe!
