I was a live-in sober house manager in RI for about 9 months, and did not get compensated aside from the free room. Am I entitled to some money?

You should contact a Rhode Island employment attorney to discuss your situation, as this situation will be highly dependent on the specific facts of your situation. While housing can be provided as part of an employee's compensation, there are special rules that must be met in order for an... Read more »
My school uses a Chrome-Extension called GoGuardian which they use to monitor a school computers screen and browsing data. However after logging into my school account on my personal device, I realized GoGuardian was connected and may be monitoring my screen. After looking it up I found out that if... Read more »
Providence unit, indoor, supposedly temperature controlled (but wasnt), a middle unit. And was told that there should be no pests or issues with our stuff because of these reasons. Went to clean it out today and mice or rats ate through EVERYTHING I own. It's all trash now.
It's a deli slicer. It was a little more than $1700. The company paid 800 I paid the rest. I was never reimbursed. I have the receipt and the check from the company for 800. Can I legally take it with me until fully reimbursed?
I used the full amount of my maximum benefits for my benefit year before the end of the benefit year. Now that that benefit year is over I reapplied but am being denied benefits because I'm still disabled for the same reason (surgery) even though I was originally told to reapply if I was...

Hello, My childs mother has been charged with 3 counts of felony child neglect and abuse. However, the court has awarded her unsupervised visits, despite me being in fear of my childs safety. What are my child's rights? Why is he being forced to be with his abuser in an unsupervised setting?
answered on Sep 1, 2022
Something seems amiss here. Did you bring all of this to your attorney's attention and/or file the appropriate motions to ensure the child is protected? From the way you present these facts, it would be likely that the state would be involved also through DCYF. Bring your concern's to... Read more »
Really good job offer and it’s required and I’m scared to get fingerprinted
Various people in RI have held the claim that any coupon issued in Rhode Island is indefinitely valid (even if the coupon is printed with an expiration date). Meaning that once a coupon is issued (via promotional material etc) it can always be used as long as that business is still running or... Read more »

Although opposing counsel may appear to be giving you legal advice, it is not a good idea to take advice on legal matters from your adversary. Your own independent counsel will cost you some money, but in the long run it may be well worth it. Rhode Island general law’s specify an equitable... Read more »
My brother has lived there most of his life, but never took over any financial or other responsibility for the house while my father was alive
answered on Aug 17, 2022
If your father conveyed his entire interest in his house to your brother then the house would not be part of the probate estate because the house was not owned by your father at the time of his death.
The paper road is woods and swamp, not even a path or dirt road exists. It probably could not be made into a road because of water table. It was platted over 70 years ago. Does the town own the land or just hold a ROW for the property? The other roads in the neighborhood are paved and maintained... Read more »

A paper road remains the town's property even if the town does nothing with it. The town does not have to build a road on it in order to keep it as a paper road. The town retains the option to build a road on the area of the paper road at any time in the future.
As for whether or not... Read more »
Phone and I said yes. They put me in handcuffs and took me to the station without ever reading me my rights. Is my statement I made in my house admissible in court?
answered on Jul 24, 2022
The answer is most like yes, your statement is admissible. The police will argue that you were not in custody at the time you made the statement. Miranda warnings (rights, as you call them) are only required to be administered when you are not free to leave and the police question you. You need... Read more »

This is a very bad idea. It will be interpreted as an attempt to connect with her, in violation of the order. Maybe you could argue that is not your intent, but I highly doubt that a judge will believe you. Don’t do it.

Division of assets, debts, and allocation of marital property are addressed in either a Bed and Board Divorce(Separation) or a "full" Divorce. Meet with your qualified local practitioner to review your options in confidence.
