There are no lemon laws in Kentucky regarding animals. Basic contract law controls. 2. Kentucky should have jurisdiction since you are here and the dogs are here. You can easily eliminate problem 2 by including in your sales contract that all disputes will be handled and resolved under Kentucky... View More

We are attempting reconciliation, and I feel that she should hold some form of responsibility as she was a willing partner. My lab bills were almost $300 and I see a therapist twice a month at $60 a visit.

Court ordered me to submit a finger nail drug test. It showed positive obviously because of my October failure. Since October I've not failed a single test besides the fingernail. My PO in IL received a random fax from the county attorneys office with the results of that nail test and stating... View More

No. Drug test results are not confidential to law enforcement and if you are on probation. She would have known about the test results by virtue of the courts ordering the finger nail testing in the divorce action.

The Lexington attorney is correct. If they agreed to hold it ( knowing the funds weren’t there and wouldn’t be there until later), it is a civil matter as you cannot defraud one who accepts a check knowing that the funds are not contemporaneously there.

I live in KY and one of my friends left for India a couple of months ago and asked me to sell his car for him. To enable that, we enacted a Power of Attorney in my name.

You should be able to sell it to yourself. One concern is that this would not be an "arm's length" transaction. You should document that your friend is satisfied that he is getting fair market value for the car. Pay him a fair price as purchaser.
