If you are in Oregon, why are you worried about Idaho CPS? How would Idaho CPS even know about the birth about to occur in OR? In order to get your child back from Idaho CPS, you need to get a "case plan," and follow it to the letter. If you do, you will get your rights in Idaho back... View More

The dealer is unscrupulous and should give you your money back. They lost the title or hadn't received it when they sold it to you. Idaho gives the owner of the bike 30 days to get the Title to the new owner. Your options now are: begin litigation against the dealer, you will win. Or, go... View More

An Idaho attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. Don't lose any more time waiting for a response. Reach out to attorneys without further delay. Nationwide, the timetables for filing appeals tend to be short, within the order of days. Good luck

Q: What if a bondsman sells the collateral even though payments were being made or that you were not informed of his intent

answered on Mar 9, 2021

Look at the contract between yourselves. Really read it closely. If the bondsman sells collateral even though your payments were current, it is either in the contract giving them the right to do this, . . . or it is a breach of contract and you will have a cause of action against them.

You may have the right to hold your ex-husband in "CONTEMPT," for refusing to abide a Court Order for him to pay bills that were assigned to him by the Court. However, the creditor was obviously NOT apart of your agreement with your ex-husband or a party to your divorce, so when the... View More

From your question it seems like you may be disabled? If so, you certainly may ask the court for "alternative sentencing" options, such as "home detention." Usually reserved for those who have some physical reason why jail would be too difficult, home detention typically nets 2... View More

Q: Does my ex get to tell me that my fiancé cannot watch my kids? That he right to watch them is revoked?

In our agreement it says that “work related child care” is decided upon both parties. Does this mean that we both have to agree or that we can decide on our own childcare during our own weeks?

Parents often get in fights like this and I always tell them that they're welcome to change what they want and as long as they're getting along but if "push comes to shove," then the "default" is ALWAYS going to be to follow the last order to the "Tee."

Nope. If you have sole "legal custody," you have only 1/2 of the "bundle" of rights that parents have. The other "half" is "physical custody rights." You can file a petition to move, listing all the factors you believe are important and let the judge... View More
