Yes, attache a copy of your appointment. If you have any questions about the form, call the clerk of the Bankruptcy Court. Good Luck.
The contract was made by an independent contractor on behalf of the LLC, and the order for services (playing the gig), required acceptance by the LLC out of state (as it's based in VT).

How can I acquire these forms? Thank You

Go to the Connecticut Judicial Branch website. Under the Public tab you will see forms. Do a search for the forms that you need.

It depends on how close the walls were to the activity, and what the activity was, and whether there had been prior accidents where such protection would have prevented or diminished injuries.
Of the deed and the mortgage because im having problems that he does not want to cooperate
answered on Jan 15, 2019
There is no way to remove a joint owner from real property without them agreeing and signing a deed to transfer it to you/your grandmother. If he will not cooperate, my advice is to consult a family law attorney to see if they can advise how it might be possible to force a division of the property... View More
I'm in a dispute with my landlord over shared metering in CT. He doesn't not provide us with a split bill, and cannot prove how much electricity we use. According to CGS § 16-262e, he should be liable to pay for the electricity. As far as I know he doesn't have a PURA certified sub... View More

From the facts you've provided, it seems as though your mom is a co-borrower on the loan/mortgage but is not a co-owner of the property itself. While this is beneficial for you, it is less beneficial for your mom. I would recommend consulting with the real estate attorney that handled your... View More

Even though you know it is highly unlikely that she would ever be asked to bear arms for the U.S., in order to naturalize, she must be willing to answer that question "yes".

See if there were any intersection cameras or security cameras covering where it happened. Then if you have collision run it through that. If not, if you don't have someone to go after that's it. You may have a casualty deduction on your taxes but talk to an accountant about that.
second and third degree burns. Would it be the hotel we can sue for medical expenses?
answered on Dec 15, 2018
It could be the hotel and/or the lamp manufacturer, depending on the circumstances of how the wire came to be exposed. You could consult with a Connecticut attorney who could investigate the matter further and review the medical records.

You’re still charged with a dui; however, if you have a prior dui conviction, then the 2nd dui exposes you to 120-day mandatory minimum jail sentence and a felony conviction for the 2nd dui.

My boyfriend was arrested for leaving for work with a pass from the halfway house but not returning on time.
answered on Nov 19, 2018
It depends on what happens at court. If he's charged with escape, the consequences could be severe. If there's a good explanation as to why he didn't return on time, the matter could be resolved without any jail. Hard to tell. He needs to have an attorney representing him.
