We got the dog when his uncles dog had puppies. We didn't pay for the dog and she has always lived with me. I have had the dog since he passed away, almost 2 years ago. I'm looking into licensing her, I'm not sure if she already is or not. I just want to make sure that there's... View More

In Nebraska, a dog is personal property, just like any item in your home. Unless there are ownership papers that someone else owns the dog, the person who the dog lives with is generally the dog's owner. If the dog has ownership papers in one person's name but has lived with another... View More

Your question is too specific for a general posting board like this. The IRS has some of the most powerful tools of all creditors to collect back taxes. That being said, there are certain exemptions that they cannot garnish from. Even if your income is exempt, your assets may not be or may only... View More

You can execute a receipt for the amount owed which will cancel it out of the enforcement system.

Every parent has a legal duty to support their child; it cannot be eliminated simply by not being part of child’s life. As far as I am aware, every state requires a person seeking public benefits and assistance to also attempt to obtain child support from other parent. In this case state funded... View More

Social Security Disability (SSD) gets replaced by normal social security at retirement around age 65. So your mother will not qualify for SSD.
Your mother likely qualifies for Medicare. If so, they will pay some or all of the costs of assisted living.

To obtain custody of a child when you are not the parent, you generally need to file a guardianship action with the county court. Generally the Court is not going to grant a non-parent custody unless it is shown that the parents are legally unfit to care for their child. This is a very high... View More

However, my partner have been in my childs life since she was 1.5 years old and is the father figure since. And my ex has not had any contact with myself or my child since Feb 2018. As well my ex lives in another state.

It depends on a lot of factors. A parent's rights are superior to those of a non-parent. The Court can grant a non-parent custody or visitation rights in limited circumstances. These are generally through a guardianship action when a parent is unfit or a request for in loco parentis... View More

The Child Support Office is limited in what information they can provide to the custodial parent. You can send an income withholding to an employer on your own. You are not required to have child support send the income withholding. It is not uncommon for family law attorneys to do so. You... View More
