Addendum - I just noticed that your post makes no mention of a surgery date or other timeline references. Please be mindful of timelines and statutes of limitations under Kansas law - that's one of the first things you could learn about in a free attorney consult. Case or no case, a local... View More

You have no obligation to pay your parents’ credit card bills. Resist their attempts to convince you otherwise. If credit card companies want to be paid they must open a probate case then present their claims and then get paid out of estate assets. But first they will research whether there are... View More

Addendum - very important. A moment ago, I advised being responsive to communications from your attorney (assigned by your company's insurance carrier). To avoid any possible confusion, this DOES NOT apply to communications you receive from the OTHER attorney suing you. The opposite applies.... View More

A Kansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. I'm sorry about your accident. I hope all involved are okay.

I agree, but the issue may ultimately be whether there is enough documented proof that you entered the marriage in good faith based upon a relationship of love and mutual moral respect. We ought not assume that there is! This can take effort.

Your wife can submit an immigrant petition on your behalf. The issue is going to be when you apply for a visa or adjustment of status. Will her income be sufficient to meet the requirements for an affidavit of support? If it is then you have no problem, otherwise you can obtain a joint sponsor if... View More

I wish I saw your question sooner. A Kansas attorney who has knowledge in animal/dog law should answer, but your question remains open for a month. You may have already taken action by now. Animal cruelty-related legalities aside, this is a terrible approach - if done improperly, it could cause... View More

A Kansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry for your accident and your injuries.

Expungements generally do not impact immigration processes and procedures. While it might be a good idea to go through the expungement process for many reasons, an applicant for immigration benefits is required to disclose all criminal matters to DHS and USCIS. It will take a deep analysis of the... View More

In almost all states, your employment is "at will" which means that you can quit or be fired without cause or notice. Just because you give 2 weeks notice does not put you in a "safe harbor" period for the 2 weeks and you can still be terminated without cause or notice by the... View More

A Kansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. There is no direct "quick fix" answer to your question of what you should do that would fit in a Q & A forum response. The short answer is that you should consider setting up a free initial consult with a... View More

You should consult with an attorney. If your father lived in one state and the real estate was located in the same state, that state would be the state in which you would seek legal counsel. If the real estate is in one state and your father was living in another state, you may be dealing with the... View More
