In 2015, friends and I started a business. We allocated shares, and set up a vesting schedule. In 2016, we decided to allow the business license (Delaware) to lapse and operate with funds from an existing LLC business I own, however, the other partners do not benefit from the LLC business....

More information is needed to give you more detailed advice, but you have two basic options, revive the DE entity and sell the business or document the transfer of the business to the LLC and have it sell the business. The devil will be in the details. I would recommend you sell the assets of the... View More
My friend purchased extra rental insurance. Do I have a claim for pain and suffering?
answered on Aug 6, 2017
Yes. Contact a member of the Delaware Assn for Justice like Thomas Crumplar. Tell him I suggested you call.

Possibly. Did you take the photo and create the meme? If not, someone else probably had a copyright interest in the image. If you use it without their permission or a valid license, you could be liable for copyright infringement. Making money is not a requirement for copyright infringement.... View More
I was at a red light, in the right turn lane. My turn signal was on, and I waited for an opportunity to turn right onto the road. Assuming the opening was large enough, I made the turn. I was t-boned on the side of my door within 10 seconds after. I understand that this is my fault, but could the... View More

1) If you made a turn it wasn't 10 seconds.
2) I assume you reported it to your insurance. Insurance will provide you with an attorney if you are sued..
3)If you didn't get a ticket you aren't in court.

It is unclear what exactly you are asking, but I'm going to say 'yes' because regardless of how you interpret this you can leave assets to children, grandchildren, children AND grandchildren, or to Children first and then to grandchildren should something happen to the children.... View More
Knowing it is often said that the USA is a nation of laws, and knowing we have a constitution, I am wondering; if there was an official act, decision or proclamation that plainly says that the Articles of Confederation are invalidated? If not, do we Americans just pretend the Articles no longer... View More
answered on May 11, 2017
The very terms of the Constitution, ratified by 11 of the original 13 colonies, replaced the terms of the Articles. For example, Article 5 of the Articles of Confederation sets out the make-up of Congress, while Article 1 of the Constitution sets out a new, different way to make up Congress. The... View More
I don't have insurance now and I'm ok to work. But I'm not comfortable going over the road and that's all the company has and I don't want to risk my health. And I no longer have health insurance.

If you've been served with a judgment to that effect (or were in present in court when the judge pronounced his judgment), you are subject to that order or judgment. If you fail to move out, the next step will be to serve you with a citation for contempt of court, which will order you to... View More

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It's going to depend on a ton of factors, including what they knew when they conducted the search, whether you were the person who rented the hotel room, whether you're on probation, whether others were in the room, and the presence or absence of exigent... View More

Anyone can sue anyone if you pay the filing fee. Your question is way too vague. Yes, the operating agreement governs. So does what the claim even is, which you have not stated. Thus, if your real question is the success of such a claim, no one could know based on your post.
I'm in Delaware.

Does he want to stir up a counterclaim? If he has collision, run it through that and let them be the bad guys. Note--if it's 4 lanes, and he was doing speed limit, should have picked up moving something or other out there, slowed down, may have had chance to avoid. I'd advise to let it... View More
What would be the consequences for failure to give such notice?
answered on Nov 2, 2016
This is entirely a question of DE law. Call a DE lawyer.

Well, unless you were subjected to interrogation without benefit of counsel, or otherwise prejudiced, your only recourse MAY be a civil tort claim. Consult a criminal defense attorney on the criminal case, though.

I got into a altercation with someone and picked up a misdemeanor assault charge and have to turn myself in.

If you have to turn yourself in, that tells me you have an outstanding warrant. Better to turn yourself in with money in your pocket to post bond than wait to be picked up at an inconvenient time. Your work will find out no matter what.
My son is in the band at a local high school. During the summer they have band camp. He will make them march, in the heat, for hours with no breaks. If one of them makes a remark about the heat, he tells them, "It's not that bad." If they do take a break he berates them. I find this... View More

As the band camp is technically an option it should be covered by education law parameters governing school sports.
Perhaps the band director needs to attend scout leader training or training for any other youth activitiy. You can ask the department of education or whoever regulates sports.

It is most likely 10 years if she was ordered deported by an Immigration Judge while living in the USA. But I would consider talking with an immigration attorney because there may be a way to get her back sooner. Don't assume she has to wait 5 or 10 years because many times there are ways... View More
