Someone has used my name to make food orders costing up to $1000 each and some indecent DVDs and have them sent to my office. The person has however used a different spelling of my name (e.g. Sean Burke spelt as Shaun Berg). Does it still considered as identity theft since the spelling was... View More

I am unclear if you are out any money. It sounds like harassment more than ID theft. Check your credit report to see if your ID has been compromised.
Can he go to jail for talking to me when I'm 16 and he's 20

Not likely, as long as you two are not doing anything illegal including him having you out past a city or town curfew, and your parents tell you that you can't leave the house but you do to go hang out with him, it is unlikely he gets arrested for you two simply being in the same vicinity of...

We live in Florida. We have been divorced for 6 years. We have always used email. Two months ago, I started getting responses to my emails saying that he longer accepts emails and to text instead. Do I have to comply? (I think that he simply does not want his email rants on the record.)

I suggest that you refer to the provisions of your parenting plan and/or final judgment that pertain to communication between the parents on the default communication methods. If both email and text were checked, typically email is used for long/substantive messages and texts are used for short... View More

No, it's not malpractice to give what are normal professional courtesies. If your former counsel gave the extension, and the other side relied on it, and they filed the answer in time, I suggest you tell them you will agree to vacate the judgment and allow them to answer--a judge will do it...

him opened the document without his permission and deleted it. Do I have a case against her for deleting and reading my private document to him?
answered on Jun 28, 2016
I don't see it.If they both had access to the email and he never changed his password, it's not the US mail she interfered with.
The document itself is an electronic copy so it's not as if she destroyed something irreplacable.

Talk to your attorney about the possibility of filing a suit for malicious prosecution, if that is available in your jurisdiction, or perhaps the jurisdiction that you were criminally charged.
DCS said a subpoena was signed by me to notify me of court. I had no idea about court & lost custody by default for FTA. No child abuse or neglect alleged or found on me, no failed drug screens by me, no misdemeanor it felony charges by me, how can they just take my children from me?
answered on Oct 26, 2015
You need to actually speak with an attorney who handles these types of cases, juvenile dependency. Without doing that, there probably is no hands on help available to you. Instead of asking how to get your children back, you ask only if you can sue them? I don't get it.

How was the web content copyrighted? If it belongs to the nonprofit, then it is theirs. I suggest that in order to avoid any problems in the future you just hand it over to the director.

I don't believe your father has anything to complain about. He created and used the account on company time. Thus the company is entitled to the e-mails. Your father really should have deleted the account before he left the company. But, any way, if they weren't able to access the... View More

You have to explain this a bit more so that I can understand what you are doing and what you are asking. It seems to me that this is your creation, no one else's. Why even tell someone how you arrived at the name? It makes no sense to me.
