I live with my grandparents who are my legal guardians. My mother was abusive mentally, my family including my mother is trying to take my baby when I give birth, I live in Idaho are there any laws saying they cant take my baby?
answered on Nov 17, 2020
No, there are NO laws which say that your family cannot take your baby. If you are under 18 yrs. old, you are considered a "child" in Idaho. If you had sex with a young man prior to becoming 18, he could be charged with a number of crimes. However, if we look beyond that now, since you... View More

Hello,
You are either "next of kin" or you're not. It has nothing to do with where you are physically or legally right now. If you were in prison, you would still be "next of kin." If you were across the world, you'd still be "next of kin." The... View More

The person who is harassing you is REALLY CLOSE TO being charged with a Felony, entitled "Intimidation of Witness," and if he comes anywhere near you, I would notify the police immediately. He cannot legally harass you or bother you because you have testimony that will hurt him.

A "Motion for Temporary Orders," is difficult to achieve; there will be notice give to you of when the hearing is. You should hire legal counsel to respond to this. However, if you are unable to do so, you need to prepare for doing it yourself. File an "answer" to the... View More
Long story short... We had a flood in our home. The contractor we hired tore out most of the inside of our home and then took off with the insurance money. So.. we had no other choice but to take a loan out on our other property, which was fully paid off. We hired a new contractor, who suggested a... View More

Okay, if I understand what you've complained about, you have several issues and I'll take one at a time:
First: the first contractor basically started tearing the inside of your house apart and then split? In Idaho you have the right to require the first contractor to either... View More

You don't lose any rights by being forcibly removed from your own home. The frustration you feel is felt by every, single male who is removed and now has to pay for two (2) residences. If you own it outright without your mate's co-ownership, simply sell it out from under her and buy a... View More
My husband's ex moved out of state thousands of miles away to follow her new husband in his career in the air force. We're trying to come up with a parenting plan to allow as much time for her with the kids as possible, but she's wanting the kids to miss 2 weeks of school each year... View More

Are these consecutive or contiguous weeks? Second question, two weeks is not a terribly long time. They can also take schoolwork home and study remotely so why are you willing to spend thousands of dollars on attorneys for something simple that you should be able to work out in emails?
Qe have a daughter of 2 years old o rely on the vehicle for transport if she takes it i would be out of work.

She needs it because she has primary custody of the child, right? You "need" it because you have mostly made the payments on it, right? You don't also happen to own a pickup that YOU drive, do you? I'm sorry, this sounds S E L F I S H to me and a divorce judge will... View More

Hi there,
Yes you need to have a co-signer, not because you may not have good credit but for the same reason that you may NOT title a car in your name, until you're 18 yrs. old. So, right now you can titled it in yourname/co-signer's name and then in one year, re-title it in just... View More

More information is needed to answer your question. Idaho is an "at-will" employment state. You are not guaranteed your job back. However, you might have a case if you believe your (former) employer refused to hire you back for a discriminatory reason (i.e. race, gender, disability, age, etc).
What can I do?

I would like to withdraw a portion of it but was told it needs to be held there for ten days due to possible money laundering???

It depends on what your customer agreement states. Most firms have broad discretion to hold onto funds if there are AML issues. You may want to be very active with your broker to find out what is happening.
I returned to the dealership within a month of driving and complained about the tire locking up when I turn left. They suggested it could be the hub which I paid them to replace and the problem has not only continued but has gotten worse. They told me to just turn traction control off every time I... View More

Dear Robbed,
Please correct me if I misstate the facts you've listed.
First, you purchased a vehicle from a dealer? Was the car new or used?
Second, if it was used, did it have a "AS IS" sign on the windshield?
Third, if it was used AND it had an... View More

Your son will be an "adult" probably by the time you read this and you won't need to do anything. However, if you're aching to pay a lawyer to do something, you need only make a phone call to the grandmother and say, "hey grandma, since we have agreed to let my son come... View More

Typically in a "rent-to-own" situation, there isn't a "mortgage" or other debt-guarantee instrument. A home owner generally enters into a "contract" whereby the "renter," makes a certain number of "rent to own" payments or a certain,... View More

It sounds like personal property by gift, if it can be substantiated, and therefore, NOT community property!

Yes it is legal. You always have the option to file bankruptcy and this creditor will get ZERO. They should know this, but . . . stupid creditors are born every day!

IF I were a smart-ass, I would say "is this worth $3,500 to figure out?" But, since I'm not a smart ass and want to be very "real" with you, let me say that you should consider a few things, as follows:
