This seems odd that a pre-existing property that pre-dates this copyright registration by an American company would be at any risk for legitimate lawsuit. How can an existing intellectual property be registered to a company whom has no legal contract or agreement with said owners, and furthermore... View More

You ask a very interesting question, but unfortunately, it is laden with too many factual issues to provide a clear answer. Your best bet is to study copyright infringement, and when derivative works are insufficiently indistinct from the original source material. There might also be contractual... View More

There are 2 types of restraining orders. One is typically called a CPO or Civil Protection Order. This is started by someone who swears under oath to a clerk of the court, usually in the clerk's office, that the man has threatened violence to her or her children or has battered her and/or...

All you need to do is go to the County Recorder's Dept. and look through the property records on file for that parcel.

It could go several different ways, unfortunately All Bad for you.
First, the State will employ their cadre of so-called “victim witness coordinators” aka MAN HATERS, to speak to you, let you know of ALL the shitty, scary things that men can do to women. If that doesn’t work they... View More
My government teacher told me that there is no need for jury instructions if the criminal confesses to the crime, which he did, and I need 3 precedents to prove my case to the class on how there is no need for jury instructions since he confessed.

We want to get all we can for these orphaned kids. But I the mother would also like to sue for wrongful death. Comments. Kids are most important period.

First, I am so sorry to hear of this tragic loss. As to the law, wrongful death claims in Idaho are controlled by Idaho Code section 5-311. Under that statute, the children and you as parent all have wrongful death claims that can be pursued. Generally claims can either be brought by the... View More

You're probably fine with the word engorgio, but once you include any symbols from Harry Potter, you'll run afoul of trademark laws.

Not automatically. If you’re a citizen of the United States you won’t give up the 14th Amendment rights you have simply by being convicted of a felony. However, to be certain that you haven’t been “required” to give up your 4th Amendment rights, particularly for drug crimes, by the court... View More

Child support and custody are thE two issues in any divorce. If the Court asked you, "maam, what is your monthly income?" What would you say? Are you treating the "settlement money" like an annuity? I.e., taking a monthly sum every month? The Court will want to so a CS... View More

Yes. As long as it is strictly traceable and NEVER commingled.

There is no mens rea for strict liability crimes. Nobody asks “did you intend to run the stop sign,” you either DID or you DIDN’T. Anything more serious however, requires a progressingly more guilty mind, upto the crime of 1st Degree Murder, which requires the State to prove that the actor... View More

As soon as you are back in Idaho, your next hearing will be your initial arraignment hearing, probably the next day. Your District Court Arraignment will be set in the following 14 days and you will have your District Court Arraignment on your PV. The Court will then set your Admit/Deny Hearing... View More
Their insurance needs a statement from me of the accident what can happen to me if I do give it? Can I go to court for not giving their car insurance a statement? Or for lying ?

You really ought to think about using punctuation in your sentences. I understand the question except when you say "I took fall for him," do you mean that you were trying to keep your step dad from having to write a statement about the accident, so YOU pretended that you had been your... View More

Your sister is full of it. You don't need to give her dog back, she abandoned it. 90 days, whether or not it is raining or snowing, is plenty of time to come get a dog that you claim you want back. So, if you don't want the dog, just take it to the pound and tell sister that I DARE HER... View More

Everything you have stated tells me that there is NO court order for child support, correct? If there is NO order then you would have a case in Small Claims Court to get back the difference between what you've actually paid and what the child support calculator says, but a different judge...

Married in Idaho, Moved to Texas, I moved back to Idaho with our Children.
answered on Mar 14, 2019
Are there children involved? That answer would dictate where to file anything. If there are NO children between them then just file in Idaho. Idaho only requires the Plaintiff's residence to be in Idaho for at least 6 weeks prior to the filing.
I want her to become permanent resident and know the big difference in USC vs PR waiting time and rules. So I do not want to endanger her chances to become PR.

If you petition a spouse as a PR, and then become a USC while the petition is pending, you can change the visa category. So I would advise you to start both the petition and naturalization processes now.

I think I understand what you're trying to explain. If you apply for a Civil Protection Order under Idaho Code 39-6304, you will have to allege that there has been sexual abuse or domestic violence against the Petitioner. This is a VERY SERIOUS allegation and will spark the interest of law... View More

Your defense is not good unfortunately. Short of getting a signed confession rom the person who lifted the bar that allowed the dogs to escape, I’m afraid that you’re absolutely 100% liable.
