This is not a bankruptcy question; however, it sounds like the Statute of Limitations has expired. I would suggest you speak with an attorney in your area and/or do a Motion to Dismiss, citing the Statute of Limitations. Keep in mind that the counting of the toll date goes from the last payment,... View More

This depends on the terms of the rental contract. Generally, ordinary tear and wear in the regular course of business may be borne by the owner. If storm was reasonably expected in the area and under the circumstances, this may be covered by the owner. Read the fin lines of the contract and consult... View More

In the U.S., trademarks exist, or not, without regard to the status of a registration. So, even if the federal registration has been cancelled, as I infer from your question it has been, if the owner of the mark is still using it, you would need to acquire the mark and the good will from the...

If your neighbor refuses to discuss the issue, your remedy would typically involve a claim to quiet title to the property in question. You would argue the land is yours and you have the right to use it. However you can expect the neighbor to argue that he has a prescriptive easement to continue... View More

Many factors go into the decision the prosecutor makes when deciding what charges to file. (For example, was it dark and was the person hit jaywalking? Was the driver texting or talking on his cell phone? etc.) If you are asking about your own personal situation you should seek an experienced... View More
I don;t know, i called the clerk at the court, but she said ask the trustee, they said I left SCH C totally blank, but, it was amended-How do i correct this? Is there a court form, or amendment i can file, even tho it is after my creditor meeting?
answered on May 30, 2012
You can still file an amendment. File an Amended Schedule C, along with a Declaration. These are standard forms, the same as you originally used, just add the word "Amended".

Unfortunately, the whole balance. Unless as part of your Divorce your Ex was to be responsable and it held that this was in the nature of support, then you can seek indeminification.

A Natural Person (vs. a business entity) can represent themselves in court; however, bankruptcy is a very complicated area of law, involving a combination of Federal Procedures and State Laws. So, an attorney is recommended, though not required.

If you do not show up for the Meeting of Creditors and have no unexempt property, you case will be dismissed with prejudice, upon motion of the Trustee. This means you cannot file an other case for six (6) months. If you have already had your hearing, you must motion the court to have the case... View More

I cannot comment on state law, but federally, the need to file return is necessary if income was generated in excess of certain amounts. Last I checked, the amount was $600. You may want to file a return to claim certain deductions even though a return may not be required.

Idaho allows for spousal support in certain circumstances. Idaho Code 32-705 says that support can be awarded if one party lacks sufficient property with which to provide for their reasonable needs AND is unable to support themselves through employment.
You can always ask for support and if... View More

Firstly, I think you should respond to their letter and tell them that their claim is unsubstantiated. You did not make or require that they purchase the tickets or the car rental in the first place. They did that on their own accord and for their daughter's wedding. I would also mention... View More
My phone company notified me that my IP address was identified in a subpoena in a civil intellectual property case; I have the option to object to the subpoena (thru Qwest, the phone company) before January 31st. What are the pros/cons of objecting? Does the fact that a subpoena was issued mean a... View More

Objecting in your own name may be pointless if the purpose of the subpoena was to discover your identity. You could hire an attorney to do a John Doe objection to protect your identity while objecting. Main drawback is the effort and expense.
Not objecting almost guarantees that your phone... View More

Assault is putting someone in fear of being actually hit.
Battery is the actually hitting of a person.
