Hos status has nothing to do with whether you can move.
By the way it is "allowed."
He has stopped paying the mortgage and is a month behind, how do I legally obtain my house back? I am also the main borrower on the house loan, but both of our names are on the deed. He also stopped paying his half of the loan payments.

You most definitely need a lawyer.
If you also own the house, I cannot understand how he FORCED you out
I was in a bowling alley around 9 p'cl9ck and asked to leave in a shouting violent matter by the female bartender. I left immediately and an officer was outside on the premises.

You may file a complaint against the police department. The department should have an internal review mechanism. I will warn you, however, that that is unlikely to produce a satisfying outcome. Similarly, you can file a complaint against the bowling alley with its management. As with the police... View More

If you have a written lease for a term you may certainly stay through the term of the lease. If you are on a month to month lease, then the landlord may terminate the tenancy with 28 days of notice before the start of the next rental period. So if your month to month tenancy starts on the first of... View More

This is in terms of breath tests and other alcohol tests taken by police officers.
answered on Mar 18, 2019
The short answer is yes. Courts have consistently upheld implied consent testing against constitutional challenges. At least in theory, the subject person's "consent" for the alcohol test is given when they become (or remain) a licensed driver, such that the test does not constitute... View More

He has an attorney. He should be discussing this with his attorney.
If he does not like his attorney's advice, then retain a different one.

If you were read your rights and you declined a lawyer prior to taking the voice detection test, then it will most likely stand up. If you were not Mirandized prior to taking the test, then it should have been raised and challenged in the prosecution of your case
My phone was seized without a warrant on November 13th 2017 the investigating officer came into the neighboring county (where I live and work) informed me I wasn't under arrest and I could go back to work whenever.

You should file a petition for the return of the phone under Section 968.20 of the Wisconsin Statutes. It is unclear whether there is a violation of the Fourth Amendment. You were told that you were not under arrest and voluntarily handed the phone over. You should have said no.

While you do have rights of speech as you clearly articulate, those rights of speech must be contextualized. You must remember that the school as an institution has rules and regulations governing the conduct of students like you. Schools usually design their rules and regulations on the basis of...

You do not have rights, as the law defines that term. However, the situation is ridiculous and you should expect the charged to be dismissed.

I am not sure there is any specific type of lawsuit you may commence against your ex girlfriend. If you are trying to recover money for stolen items, you need to make sure that the cost of litigation is not going to outweigh the benefits. Above all, you also must make sure that when and if you... View More

An officer can follow you for as long as s/he believes a crime is being committed has been... View More

This does not appear to be a criminal or civil rights question. Does management know of your presence for care? Make sure your state status and length of visit complies with their rules. Then when a complaint is made by a neighbor they will be told they are wrong and your presence is allowed.... View More

Do you know whether the court cancelled the warrant? That is usually the case, of course. You should check the court file to make sure that the warrant was properly cancelled. If so, the arrest would be clearly unlawful--as opposed to accident because the clerk's office made a mistake. You may... View More
