To the contrary, it would likely be an anti-trust violation if you somehow prevented those buyers from participating freely in the real estate market or prohibiting them from contacting certain agents. There is a grave difference between an anti-trust violation and an unfair advantage. It does not... View More

Yes, it is certainly possible. North Dakota Century Code Chapter 14-09 deals with child custody. The court heavily weights the twelve best interest factors as stated under NDCC 14-09-06.2. I hope this helps!

The prosecutor may still bring charges, even if your statement has been retracted. Why? Firstly, because you did not witness the incident. More importantly, because victims of domestic violence often retract their statement and it is in the state's interest to pursue domestic violence incidents.
How would one know if the court fulfilled agreement? ("the defendant's guilty plea be withdrawn, or the guilty verdict be set aside; the case be dismissed; and the file be sealed.").

To determine if the court dismissed the case, you can call the court.

From what you have stated, it appears that the sound is not coming from an upstairs neighbor, but from the building itself? If that is the case, then you may have a case against the landlord for breaching the implied warranty of habitability. Habitability is interpreted into all residential lease... View More

Dogs are treated like other personal property, and as such can be traded, given away, sold, and abandoned. I would need to discuss at length the particular details of your situation to determine to chain of ownership of the dog.

We tried to get ahold of the landlord many times and could not make contact. We never received a bill, and now, 11 months later, are being sued for the damages to the apartment. Also, our security deposit was kept.

Your first step is to check the specific terms of your lease. Even if an amount of time is set by statute, the lease may control.
I would like to get custody of my son and I was told by friends that they had an experience where the mother let their child hang around a sex offender and she lost full rights as a parent. I'm also in that situation and I was just wondering if it's possible.

North Dakota Century Code CHAPTER 14-09 PARENT AND CHILD deals with parental rights and when they can be taken away. I hope this helps!

The answer is "it depends." Is there a Judgment? What does the Judgment say? If there is no Court Order/Judgment, then the father should have as much of a right to the child as the mother does. You should contact an attorney as this situation is very fact dependent.

You should be very careful when discussing your criminal case online - please do not share more information about this case publicly, call an attorney to discuss instead. Most offer free consultations.
I also have serious health issues. Acollection agency is threatening wage garnishment. what can we do?

The way I see it, you likely have three options: get on Medicaid, declare bankruptcy or both. Although I am not a bankruptcy lawyer, bankruptcy can actually be helpful to many low-income people who find themselves with a stack of bills they are unable to pay.

There is not a specific North Dakota statute that requires a landlord to renew your lease. Generally, a tenant's best chance to challenge the refusal to renew is if the refusal to renew was based on discrimination. There could be a chance to prevent a refusal to renew if it is on public...
