In Boise, Idaho, where I practice, it is sometimes necessary for me to call repeatedly the Clerk and ask that she give me a court date. However, it is ALWAYS after I have filed a MOTION FOR DISMISSAL OF CHARGES, pursuant to URCRP Rule 42 for dismissal. Here's a suggestion:

The Idaho law on landlord/lessor law is that the lessor must provide you with water, power and heat. If the new owner wants to do away with the internet due to whatever reason, that's his prerogative. You should speak to the new park manager and document the damage to the assembly and ask...

ONE thing you can NOT do, is take the law into your own hands. IF you try to take your friend away from the abuse, you will be arrested, and I'm sure you know that. However, you could convince your friend to go with you to the police to report the abuse he's been suffering. That might... View More

She owes you $100, period. She proposed what we call a "counter offer," i.e., you get the dog if you pay $100 + cost of rehoming etc. This "counteroffer" was NOT accepted by you. The only offer and acceptance of that offer, was your acceptance of her offer to sell the dog to... View More

You should take her back to court to enforce the verbal agreement she made with you, re: child support in exchange for allowing her to move 3,000 miles away. Some courts would hold that this was an "agreement against public policy," because it is against the public policy of most states... View More

The Parenting Agreement IS relevant. However, it's relevance goes down, by the day. Because what the divorce court judge is supposed to do is decide what is in the best interests of the minor child. The Parenting Agreement is very relevant if it's only 4-5 months old when you divorce... View More

An Idaho attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks, and you have a looming statute of limitations. Only a local attorney could advise per state rules, but the basic general rule nationwide is that clients are entitled to their files. Some elements might differ by... View More

An Idaho attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. You could ask them to investigate through the SIU (Special Investigations Unit). This will require thorough investigation, and three years elapsing doesn't help in terms of gathering evidence. A local attorney... View More

Idaho has NO MORE common law marriages. Those were abolished more than 10 years ago. So this is more simple that community property law principles or even old, common law principles. Essentially you have a joint ownership situation. The departing partner is absolutely correct. He is owed 50% of... View More

Your question doesn’t give enough information to answer competently. Have you been sued for arrears already? Was the Support Order reduced to a money judgment? Do you have any paperwork concerning what happened 26 almost 27 years ago?

Generally speaking, child support is ordered by a... View More

An Idaho attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Until you're able to consult with a local attorney who could advise on state-specific law, nationwide it's usually up to the carrier and the PD adjuster's judgment with most claims today. Good luck

A Utah attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Until you're able to consult with a local attorney for state-specific law, the short answer in most places is that it's up to the carrier. For minor or moderate damages, they could go by estimates of a body... View More

The husband is guilty of manipulation and severe, emotional abuse of your sister and (probably) their son. Idaho, like most other states can give your sister a divorce for FAULT reasons, not just "irreconcilable differences" which is "no fault." IN a divorce, if your sister,... View More

No set time, however, the insurance company will do its “due diligence,” and get their “findings” to all parties in “due time.” Most courts will not criticize an insurance company for taking too long, if there are questionable issues.

Here are your options:

1. Call Child Protection Services (CPS) and complain that the parents are unable to care for the child. They will conduct an investigation. Once that is complete, CPS will call the police and ask them to assist them in removing the minor from the parents’ custody.... View More

No private party may require a non-party to do anything. If you believe the father is requiring a non-party to obey your Decree of Divorce, then please disabuse yourself of this belief. This also has nothing to do with how far your child lives from the father. The ONLY considerations you should... View More
