I would have to read the municipal codes for Raleigh to know for sure, but as a general rule, you are allowed to defend yourself if you reasonably feel threatened. My strong suspicion is that you would be fine as long as you could reasonably claim you were defending yourself, sister, or your dog.

A North Carolina attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. As a general matter in virtually all jurisdictions, courts will allow corrections of basic information to be made. If it involves something of deeper substance beyond a clerical error, such as extrinsic evidence... View More
On 8/9/20 she was buried in the church cemetery where the plots are free to members who were in good standing, so there was no contract. She's supposed to be next to her husband.

I am very sorry to hear that you are going through this, contact a local lawyer, and get their advice on how to proceed. It is unlikely that you will need a lawyer that specializes in these matters.
Hello I have a mother who is borderline emotionally abusive, she tells me i make everyone miserable constantly, blames me for everything that goes wrong and more. I am 16, can I move out and live with a friend legally. Can i get emancipated from her?

Maybe, but these aren't easy actions to 'win' and it would be something you wouldn't be able to do yourself. To able to file, you have to be 16 (check) and have lived in the same county for 6 months (don't know). To successfully emancipate yourself, you are going to have... View More

I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing these problems. As for ensuring the landlord does something, the first place you should check is in your lease.

They do not require the wearing of masks even though it is state mandated. They also do not have hand sanitizer for the works at the cash registers. Although there is 6 feet apart labeled, people are invading the space of the employees and most aren't wearing masks

I'm afraid I can't help you very well as I don't understand the various relationships and don't think I comprehend what you are asking. That said, you are unfortunately only 16 and don't seem to have a lot of legal options at this point. Perhaps things would be different... View More

A criminal court can add "restitution," but that only works if the no-good has money. Some states have crime victim compensation acts. Ask the DA's victim assistance coordinator about that.
You can file a civil case, but unless the person is covered by insurance that is... View More
