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

As a litigator, what I constantly have to remind myself is that judges don't care how good my argument is to give my client custody, or how persuasive I am about the good things my client is doing etc., if it's not in the child's best interests. This is thE ONLY factor that the... View More
I had two partial loss home fires 9 months ago and my insurance company sent over an adjuster then. Now nine months later when my contractor is already working fixing the damage they want to come assess the damage again because my original adjuster quit the company

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.

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

Your agent appears to be relying on a listing agreement that calls for her to be paid her commission even if the buyer she found is precluded from closing due to the contingency in the purchase contract. So there are two different contracts at issue. One is the "listing agreement" with... View More
I don’t want to go through child support to calculate,we want to solve our issues regarding financial support for our children amicably, can we go about that without further action from child support?

Nope. By applying for Idaho benefits, Idaho has a "vested interest," in making sure that whatever monies it has provided you, are paid back. That means that whatever you and your husband thought you had decided, may be okayed by the Court, but the Department of Health and Welfare,... View More

You have the right to step in and be concerned. The problem with Powers of Attorney is that they are easily drawn and signed, by the weak and feeble. A much more stable, unalterable instrument to have when your loved ones need help, is a Guardianship / Conservatorship. Nobody is able to get a... View More

Murder requires the government to prove that the actor killed another person, intentionally (not while asleep) and did so without being provoked first, and with malice. From your facts, it doesn't seem like any Sr. prosecutor would charge "murder," only to be embarrassed at court... View More

The short answer is "NO." If you will permit me to diverge. Idaho Law permits weapons to be carried without a permit, openly. A HOA might want to limit when patrons could carry weapons around. This would be an HOA decision. HOA or Home Owners' Associations, are throwbacks from... View More

"Bad faith," 2 words that lawyers enjoy bantering about and insurance companies loathe hearing. But, in Idaho, to show "bad faith," you must show that the insurance company's payment or treatment was "intentional" or based on gross negligence. Courts are fair... View More

What a horrible experience. I am so sorry.
While this may be malpractice, if you are fine now, the harm does not likely warrant a lawsuit.
But, Consult with experienced malpractice attorneys in the state where this occurred.

An Idaho attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. If you were hit in the rear while at rest in a permissible location, that seems to place liability in your favor.

Was a loan agreement in someone else’s name. Is this a valid suit/summons?
answered on Nov 16, 2023
If you were named as a defendant, the case is valid but you have a defense that it is not you that owe the debt. If it was simply a mistake by the attorney that could likely be fixed in litigation.
