An Idaho attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for a week. I'm very sorry for your trauma. Although what was said to you would deemed by many as insensitive and heartless, it could difficult for an attorney to move forward with it as a case based on intentional infliction of... View More

Nope. Once a person gives something away, it is no longer part of his or her estate; it is now owned by the gift recipient. The person who gave it away can mention it in his or her will, but that will not do any good because it is not part of his or her estate any longer. And to mention it in... View More

If I were you I would file a Petition for Guardianship. The Court will require the mother to be there before it makes a decision. If the Court grants your petition, you will step artificially into the shoes of the bio mother in making all decisions on behalf of the child. Good luck to you!

To answer the first question, "Yes" you CAN adopt a child . . . without the parent's consent.

Here's the catch: NOTHING your husband or you have done for their daughter in the intervening 7 years has given you ANY PARENTAL RIGHTS. During the past 7 years you COULD... View More

Look for something in the escrow that you can claim is a "mistake in understanding" to void the contract. However, if everything: the "offer" and the "acceptance" of that offer, was done and documented properly, you're stuck and if you refused to sell,... View More

If what you say is correct, then you need to file a Motion for Disqualification under ICR 25.

It's possible to get it reduced but in no way guaranteed. The possibility depends on several factors, such as prior criminal history (not just prior DUI history), the facts of the case, what your other blow was (you should have two separate blows), cooperation with law enforcement, etc. If the...

Ask your case worker. You don’t want to leave the state or move across town or change jobs or get a piercing without speaking with your case worker!

Possibly. Grieving is not a legal reason to avoid a contract. What you should do is gently question your mother and find out why she agreed to the terms the buyer offered? Was your mom represented by a realtor or attorney? Why weren’t you there to help her in the closing?

This is going to be something you'll need to discuss with an attorney about all the pros and cons of trying to enforce the settlement agreement. While on its face there seems to be grounds for changes due to violating the court's orders, there are always consequences to filing and what... View More

Pleading guilty to not having insurance WILL suspend your DL. But all you need to do to get permission to drive is prove that you now have insurance. The plates is an infraction and is under $100 fine. Good luck!

You cannot "take" a trademark from the mark owner if it is still being used in commerce as a source identifier, regardless of the federal registration status. Applying for and being allowed a federal registration does not automatically prohibit a mark owner from opposing registration,... View More

Your friend had been doing "well" on probation, EXCEPT THAT HE MOVED TO IDAHO WITHOUT OBTAINING THE P.O.'S CONSENT! His P.O. MAY have had suspicions that your friend was moving without his consent and just wanted to see if your friend would do such a stupid thing?

My advice would have been EXACTLY what your Public Defender told you. Now the warrant may be 10x higher than it would have been had you turned yourself in like you had been advised.

Yes, that's exactly how you do it. Send her an email and attach a copy of the ortho bill and ask her to please pay 30% of it. It is not necessary that you have anything notarized. You simply need to ask your ex to pay it, by supplying her with a true and correct copy of the entire bill and... View More

I want to tell you what you should do.

First off, Idaho would not allow you to "sign off" rights to your daughter UNLESS there is someone willing to adopt her. In your case, your ex-wife did not give your daughter your last name and wanted to adopt her daughter as much as you... View More

Okay, if I understand what you're writing about, let me summarize: your sister owns a house and she's allowing you to live there? I don't know why she'd be paying YOU to live in HER house though? I will need a little bit more information. Can you provide that? Such as:... View More

I'm so sorry for you! After California designed the first "no fault divorce," every state that I'm aware of adopted the so-called "no fault divorce." This means, unlike in Hollywood movies gone by, where the protagonist would scoff at the wife and say,... View More

If you and he had no previous custody order in place, then strictly speaking, he is NOTHING but a sperm donor. Simply by having his name on the birth certificate gives him NOTHING but obligations to pay child support. If he ever wanted to become the "father" of this 6 yr. old son, he... View More

My legal opinion is that a 1-time gift money left by your brother's will, insurance or trust or is not "income." Child Support and Spousal Support are based on "gross monthly income."
