What you propose sounds a lot like copyright infringement. I don't understand your terminology--like what do you mean by "gear". An instrument, to me, is a horn, a guitar, a piano, etc., not something that reproduces pre-recorded data.
Hello. If I wanted to purchase a virtual synthesizer from a developer abroad that followed the sampling laws of the country it was made in, could I use that synthesizer in my music? In other words, if the sampling laws of that country were different than that of the US, how would that effect what... Read more »

answered on Sep 10, 2022
This would be a question for international law since you would need to have those orders also recognized in the country that he is in.
Also, because of the short duration of the marriage, a long spousal support order is unlikely.

There isn’t enough information for anyone to help you. Unfortunately, it’s a bit like giving someone the last three pages of a book and asking if it was a good end to the story.

There are animal law attorneys here who would have the strongest insight into legal issues with service animals, and you could reach out to them at this point. However, from an international law/health care law... Read more »
