If you are a personal guarantor, you remain obligated to pay the loan even if your boyfriend files bankruptcy. You aren't required to file bankruptcy too, but you remain responsible for paying that debt.
I filled out the application completely and re-read multiples times before mailing the package last week. But I just looked at the pdf application for form I-130 and I might have forgotten to fill out a part. It's part 4, Item 46a; "He or She arrived as a (class of admission): ... We are... View More

Did you also fill out an I-130a? Errors on these applications can lead to delay or denial. That is why it is best to consult with an experienced immigration attorney prior to filing.

answered on Feb 11, 2019
As long as you have been in Sioux Falls for 6 months (180 days), you can file in your current state, otherwise, you have to file where the business was. As a sole proprietor your business goes where you are
My son attended and played football for a SD University until recently. In March of 2018 he began having problems with his disability, and in turn, issues with the head football coach.

Yes. The maximum amount you can possess is 30 grams, and 2oz is closer to 50 grams. If you leave you will likely have trouble returning to the US.

I live in South Dakota most of the time but my vehicle remains here and I insure it through Mn. Is there a problem with this, because I do plan on getting a sd license but the car will remain in mn.
answered on Dec 21, 2017
If you regularly drive it to South Dakota that should be noted. However if it's only used in Mn, is kept there, I don't see a problem.
Beer" is already trademarked by a company in FL, who only does business in FL. Could we trademark ours and be safe? Would we legally have issues or is this allowed?
answered on Nov 17, 2017
You may be able to register a state level trademark, assuming the other company has a state level trademark and not a national level trademark. It is also possible that there may be an error in the other company's trademark filing or that you have superior rights to the mark based on prior... View More
Please remove Q&A.
answered on Nov 16, 2017
This would most likely lead someone to confusion between the marks and as such, you should probably find a different name.
As always, please read the disclaimers below.

The parents are technically responsible.You may want to pay it if you can. Start by figuring what the bill was (I'm assuming you are at fault because you say so). If you pay you want a release of all claims.
I am fixing to start getting my wages garnished for hospitals bills totaling over $21000.00. Is there any way to check my credit report so when I file we make sure to do it all. I have student loan debt and know that can't be taken off and I will still have that. How do I go about filing... View More
answered on Sep 26, 2017
Get to a local bankruptcy counsel asap. Perhaps he/she can get you an emergency or "bare Bones" filing before the wage garnishment starts. Fees vary in regions. Most counsel will import a Credit Report to make sure everything is listed on the Petition.
Then I want him to sell me the house to me for $1. Problems
Is there a tax problem based on the real value of the property?

Dan has a business. Does the 28 year have any right to it?
answered on Aug 1, 2017
All of the above potentially. It depends on how much value there is in Probate and who else might be owed money.
The laws of intestacy in the state where "Dan" lived will govern, and most states provide spouse and minor children are first in line, but if there are LEGAL children... View More

Your question doesn't make sense. Once a lawyer files your bankruptcy case, he is stuck with you until he officially withdraws from the case or the case is dismissed or discharged.
He can't just retire and walk away.
Anyway, assuming your case is dismissed, you need to... View More
