An Idaho attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. It looks like you were paid the $2,100 you requested. It's not fully clear what the damages you're claiming would be - (1) is it interest on the money, (2) or damages suffered as a result of the delay? Without... View More

YES YOU CAN KEEP HIM: if you and your son agreed that you could.
NO YOU CANNOT KEEP HIM: if your son did not agree that you could.
It's as simple as that.
Do I have the right to know what evidence was given to establish probable cause submitted to the judge in order to obtain a search warrant? Can a police officer just tell a judge that he believes illegal activity is going on at so and so's residence with no basis or evidence for probable cause?
answered on Jun 18, 2021
Yes you have the absolute right to know exactly what the police had given the judge before asking the judge to issue a search warrant. Your lawyer will make a Request for Discovery to the State. The State will send your lawyer the Affidavit of Probable Cause, which was typed up and given to the... View More
I was the closest person to this child. He has a bedroom in my home and spent 5 days a week with me. I have never been arrested and have a stable work and homelife.

What do they tell you as their excuse for not considering you? Do you have any warrants or possibly living with someone on probation or parole? If you can't afford to hire a lawyer then go into the Court Assistance Office and ask them for a Petition for Guardianship and file it with the... View More
A previous employer mailed me a printer and requested it back after I left their company. I have no vehicle and had no means to bring it down. I lost contact with them and just got into my email to find a threat to sue that has passed. I arranged a way to return the property and just want this... View More

An Idaho attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for four weeks. No one here could predict what they would do. It's good that you made arrangements to return the printer. If you haven't already, let them know about the arrangements you made so they don't move forward... View More

Yes, you should have a simple addendum or amendment to the trust to document this change. Do not do this on your own or cross out the first name and add in the second name.
The victim of the registered offender is now married to the offender and it has been 20 years since the offender conviction. The children involved in the custody case have never been harmed by the offender.
answered on Jun 3, 2021
Short answer: no.
The custody court's decisions are appealable. If the Magistrate Judge said "on the record," that she was ignoring ALL EVIDENCE produced by your husband, then the judge's decision is likely to be overturned. On the other hand, recent court decisions... View More
Does it fall under the same regulations of "concealment" as other weapons? Such an item normally used for defense. Will one be prosecuted for having it concealed even though no license laws exist for such an item?

MRS 45-8-315, defines a "Concealed weapon" as a "means a firearm that is wholly or partially covered by the clothing or wearing apparel of the person carrying or bearing the weapon."
Other Montana Revised Statutes define "weapon" depending on your age and... View More
I totaled my car and when the tow truck came to get it, the driver told me that he would tow it free of charge in exchange for the vehicle. I agreed to that, but now I have a bill in the mail along with a release of interest form from the towing company. Does signing the release of interest form... View More

An Idaho attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. It could be difficult for an attorney, even an Idaho attorney, to advise on the operation of the form you describe, sight unseen. But as a GENERAL matter nationwide, a release of interest form is used to convey ownership... View More

Hi, I'm sure someone else will probably ask you to clarify your question, but let me first ask you to ask it more clearly please? IF I understand your question, you said that you were arrested? For what were you arrested? In a car? Park? While walking?

If you were ill and left your daughter in your mother's care while you recovered, then your mother probably bonded to your daughter, her granddaughter, while you were in Portland recovering. The ONLY thing keeping you from going to your mother's home and walking up to the door saying,... View More

I received money for the sale of my home in December 2020. I was married in February of 2021. Just added him to my checking acct 2 weeks ago (May 2021) and the state took almost $30,000 of my money for his back support and without any notice.

My daughter was told that the reason she makes less than a new hire (having worked at her job for 3 years) is because she was hired as a HS junior and the new hire was a college freshman, and college students automatically start at a higher wage. She was then reprimanded for discussing salary with... View More

While this situation seems unfair, as long as your daughter is being paid at least minimum wage for all hours worked, then this policy is not unlawful. Employers have a wide degree of discretion regarding employees' pay, and while federal age discrimination laws exist, these laws only protect... View More
My 10 year old daughter wants to change her last name to her stepfather's. Her biological father has not been in her life since she was 8 months old. We have a child support order against him but he hasnt paid in 7 years. What can I do?
answered on May 13, 2021
The fact that her father hasn't had any contact with her since she was 8 months old, DUE TO A NO CONTACT ORDER, against the father, is problematic. The fact that he hasn't paid CS in 7 years is irrelevant to your question. Idaho has a statute regarding name change. It is found in Title... View More

Unfortunately, Idaho has NO law of emancipation. Idaho law requires all kids to attend school through the 8th grade, so my advise to you is that you attempt to 1) mend fences, stay in school, it won't be too long till you're on your own, yada, yada, yada; or, 2) seek permission to stay... View More
