That will depend on the rules of the prison, but the process would be to call the prison and ask if a person would be able to use a foreign passport as a form of ID during an inmate visit.

Chances are she has a lot of other cases which are crimes as opposed to crashes. General attitude is "let the insurance companies fight it out."
So give the screen shots to the prosecutor.
and we must finish paying on our lease for another 6 months. Can we file for bankruptcy and would it be helpful

I would speak with an attorney as soon as possible because the solution will be very specific to your situation. In general, the landlord may be able to utilize company assets to collect on unpaid rent. Bankruptcy may be an option, but depending on which chapter you file, if the value of the assets... View More

Well, she now owes me over $600 and there has been multiple instances where she has left me overnight alone with my 5 younger... View More

Courts in most states would construe such an arrangement as a gratuitous promise, unsupported by consideration, and therefore unenforceable at law. In short if you attempted to engage in litigation to recover the requested sum it is unlikely that you will be successful.

It costs $100 and can be done through the Idaho Secretary of State's website.

This is a great question and one I am addressing in my business law class right now. Although about 60% of businesses in Idaho operate as sole proprietorships, there can be a great benefit in operating as an entity. The primary reason tends to be that you can limit some liabilities if you operate... View More

I was recently addressing this very issue in my business law class. The short answer is yes, anytime content is put down in a tangible medium, including social media, it receives copyright protections. The interesting twist is that some social media sites have tried to claim that they hold the... View More

Under certain circumstances, yes.
For example, if there is not enough money to distribute ALL the specific bequests, each would be proportionally reduced. Or if there are 'priority claims' such as probate or funeral costs that exceed the amount that would allow a full payout of... View More

No, it doesn't. There are, of course, exceptions like if you're talking about some forms of Social Security Disability.

This is a question for a criminal defense attorney, and I would seek a consultation with a one as soon as possible. But the prosecutor cannot have your children taken away if you refuse to testify. That can only be decided by a judge.
If there were signs of physical injury, the prosecutor... View More

Your question isn't exactly clear, but if you mean 'do I HAVE to act in my husband's estate' the answer is of course, no. You can simply not ask for or refuse the nomination if you feel that is better, but you should consult with a local probate attorney to insure you know the... View More

The partner that contributes intellectual property to a business does not necessarily own the intellectual property. An attorney would need to review the partnership agreement to determine who owns the intellectual property. Although, business contacts, supplier relationships, and business... View More

That's going to depend on what identification documents the prison will accept. Call the prison where your boyfriend is being held and ask them what forms of ID would be accepted for visits. A foreign passport should be sufficient for them.
Of service, add charges that SHOULD not be there and have the same excuse each time and why they are not responsible even after you run their test prior to using their services (test runs speeds and connections) comes back good.. ive lost enough money to this company swindling their customers i...

Contact the Idaho Civil Liberties Union and ask if they have a prison rights division --this has been litigated.
Depending on charges, you may find it easier to get your family or whoever you call an 800 number so you can call free.

Yes. You will not need to worry about the one year deadline because of a change of circumstances, and because you are in current lawful status. Consult an immigration lawyer for specific direction based on your specific case.

If you were stopped or driving at a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, there would not appear to be fault assessed against you.
