They've been very abusive, emotionally abusive, and have neglected her to the point where she takes care of herself to the best she can. But I just want to give her more, and teach her skills my parents should've. I have a good job and she was also thinking of getting a job so we'd... View More

You sound like an emotionally mature, young man and an adult by Idaho law. Idaho Title 15, Chapter 13 provides that you may apply to become her permanent guardian, even at your young age. If your parents object, so be it. It sounds like you have plenty of anecdotal evidence of your irresponsible... View More

It's called "Malicious Injury to Property," a violation of Idaho Code Section 18-7001. If the damage is over one-thousand ($1,000) dollars, then it's a felony and punishable by a fine of up to five thousand ($5,000) dollars and/or imprisonment of not more than five (5) years, or both.
The car was as is, but since March, supposedly aftwr this car was certified by ASC mechanics, the rack and pinion tore itself apart and the transmission separated.

"AS-IS" means exactly what it says. The only way this can be attacked if if the SALESMAN contradicted the "AS-IS" sign in the windshield and represented something akin to a "specific representation," such as mentioned "this car was certified just prior to you... View More

Police pulled over a vehicle with 2 individuals, the driver of the vehicles was detained on driving with out a license. A drug dog ran the car 3 times with no hit. The police told the passenger he was free to go, but then asked if they could search the passenger, passenger states a “terry pat”... View More

Kind of a weird answer for the passenger to give the cop I'd say, but I would definitely file a Motion to Suppress anything found on the passenger since the cop went ahead and denied a
"Terry" pat down and went ahead with a full-blown search without probable cause.

I feel I have been wrongfully alienated from my sons. They are now adopted by thier paternal grandparents, to which I know that my sons will have to seek me when they come of age. With that being said I feel they took advantage of me, had me sign my rights over unwillingly, and had alienated me... View More

Once the adoption took place, water passed under the bridge and there's no going back. Your desires to see them notwithstanding, you should not bother the paternal grandparents and NEVER make an attempt to see your sons. If they're curious when they come of age, they will seek you out,... View More
If a passenger is told he is free to go given the key to the vehicle as the driver is under arrest, after a traffic stop, then the officer comes back and asks before the subject leaves if he can search the subject. The subject gives consent to do a “terry pat” (Pat in outside of clothing for... View More

Hello, make sure you correct me if I summarize the facts wrong. So, the passenger is told by police that he is free to leave because the driver is being detained? The passenger then doesn't leave? Why not? Did the officer run up to the window and say, "hey, I want to search you or... View More

There must be two witnesses but I couldn't find a single, reported appeal to refer to. So I will just tell you that depending on how long you have been married you might be able to seek an annulment? But since annulment isn't guaranteed, but a divorce is, why not simply divorce him?

Real estate contracts are by nature, writings. As such they are governed by a 5 yr. Statute of Limitations. These cannot be extended and are absolute bars after the date that you signed a contract.

Whether the property has a loan or not is not the question. The Bankruptcy Court will NOT determine if a tax debt for property is "dischargeable" or not. Your bankruptcy attorney will do that and advise you. Section 502(c) says:
(C) the amount or legality of any amount arising... View More

Of course it is "legal," but shouldn't be. There SHOULD be a law prohibiting both parents from slandering or saying anything about the other parent to the children. This is called "alienation of affection," and it does more harm to children than any other kind of abuse... View More

Vehicle was advertised and sold as brand new with 3yr warranty. Manufacturer said it only has 2 years left as it was a demo model. This was not disclosed on the contract or verbally
answered on Jul 18, 2020
These are "contract-specific" questions. If the car was advertised as "new," be sure to write down any other, specific terms (promises) they made to you. Where did you learn that the vehicle came with a 3-year warranty? If this was verbally communicated to you, it will be much... View More

If you bought the dog then no, the dog is yours. If he left the dog with you to take care of for a period of time, then yes, the dog is his and he can ask for it back any time. More information is needed to answer this question.
