An Indiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week.

Searching old Indiana Code and can't find anything. Example - IC 28-13-10-1 references the above. IC 28-7-1-16(d) and IC 28-13-10-1(b) are similar except the latter states "Unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws provide otherwise...." I need to find which IC controls, if... View More

What does that mean? Once a bill is passesd by the General Assembly, it is called a Public Law and assigned a number. P.L. 14-1992 Sec. 163 refers to Section 163 of Public Law 14 signed by the Governor in 1992, but that's about all you can tell from the number. Public Laws are difficult to... View More

It has my husbands co-defendant)
My question is why is that like that?

answered on Jun 14, 2021
It really depends where on the docket you are looking, but case captions are generally limited to one name. So you'll often see USA v. John Doe, et al. The et al. stands for everyone else. Some cases have lots of defendants and it would make things awfully cumbersome if they all had to be... View More
My husband filed a petition for dissolution of marriage behind my back on 10/23/2020 and it looks like his lawyer submitted a bunch of stuff to the court. I haven't talked to anyone, hired a lawyer, or talked to his lawyer AT ALL. It shows that a notice of discovery with the "filed... View More

It may have been an error by the clerk. You can try to contact the court to have them correct the CCS entry.
Also yes, effective service is required on you in order for the divorce to proceed.
Hope that helps.

Maybe. In order to obtain land by adverse possession there are several things you have to be able to prove.

Medicaid sent a letter to recover from my deceased mother's estate. Mom spent 3 years in a nursing home, with Medicaid paying all but the last year of her life, which she paid for. My sister receives SSDI and is disabled. Does this prohibit medicaid recovery in Indiana?

answered on Feb 12, 2020
If the decedent is survived by a child of any age who is blind or permanently and totally disabled, Medicaid recovery is delayed until said child dies or regains ability (though the latter is rare).
I filed for child support again and was approved His support started in December and comes right out of his check to me . Will IRS intercept refund or is it too early . The court sent a letter in late December stating he owed That amount otherwise I wouldn’t have known

Based on your question it is a possibility his tax refund could get intercepted.

The short answer is no, however, if prior arrangements are made with the city or town to have a police escort then most likely it would be yes.
The judge sentenced my boyfriend to 3 years do 18 months if he doesn't get into the drug program, which he didn't. But his release date has the full 3 years and the court told him he needs to file a modification. He needs to know what proper case logs he could use to put in his modification.

case log or case law?
Without knowing the facts and circumstances, there are hundreds of books of case law and it is impossible to identify any in particular

You can sue them, but the chances of that suit being successful are quite low given the immunity granted to government entities in Indiana. You'll also have the Indiana Tort Claims Notice to deal with. The best route is to pursue an insurance claim and possible a lawsuit against the at-fault driver.

The requirement is based on where your domiciled, not moved. If you are merely going to college in IN but still a resident in AZ and pay AZ income tax then your AZ license is sufficient. However, if you no longer have ties to AZ and would be required to file taxes in IN then you must change your... View More

I am indigent with 4 kids and a suspended license and need to try and get my $500 reinstatement fee waiver somehow.

answered on Dec 6, 2017
If you have not yet gotten your reinstatement fees waived you can go online to in.gov and find the information and the forms. If you do not have a computer, then consider the public library.
My license are suspended. I need to pay the fee to the bmv but im indigent and can't afford to pay it or hire a lawyer to do it for me.

answered on Sep 27, 2017
Go to in.gov and you will find a link that will give you the affidavit for indigence and documents for the petition as well as instructions to file. If you do not have a computer, I'm sure you local library has a computer you can use.
It even says online that the papers were returned because no one was there to sign.

The best thing to do is contact a criminal defense attorney who handles cases in that county. If there is an active warrant, or a pending case, the attorney can help your friend from there.
