Inconsistencies are not necessarily lies. Are you lying when you know you just went to a drug store, but say to someone later that you went to Walgreens when you really went to CVS?

Fraud and perjury connote intention, which is hard to place on an otherwise neutral witness. If it were any... View More

Yes, so long as it doesn't affect your tenancy. For example, it deprives you of space or use of common areas.

Possibly. The term "prostitution" is not defined in Michigan law, which means the ordinary meaning of the word applies. Right or wrong, prostitution is ordinarily defined as an act a female may engage in. Your question suggests it's the female setting the terms; she could be engaging... View More

Depends. How did they get the pictures? What are the pictures of? If they are demanding money or something else, it may be criminal extortion. You should probably consider filing a police report. Can they post the pictures? That's a different question. If they are true and accurate pictures of... View More

If I hazard to guess, I'd say the purchase agreement could be enforced to transfer the mineral rights. But you'd really want to deal with a real estate lawyer on this one.

As long as you meet the requirements to obtain a driver's license, it should not be a problem.

"On paper", yes. Your father should consider creating an estate plan naming and disinheriting these children - if he has reason to believe he is the biological father. Otherwise, one or all of them could petition the probate court for a share of his estate as omitted children.

Depends. Although, if we assuming the board has the power in the bylaws, I can't think of a superseding regulation or law that would stop the board from exercising that power and implementing the rule.

As to the landlord, you remain liable for the rent. Getting the deposit back - or your share of it - is something you'll need to work out with the landlord. Most landlords will probably want another person to sign onto the lease before releasing you.

You may need authority from the probate court to designate you as the funeral representative.

It appears as though this question is asked in the wrong State "ask a lawyer" category.

A couple things to ask as starting point when you ask an Ohio attorney:

(1) Does the will say "to my wife" (or similar) or does it provide her name?

(2) What form of... View More

If you're talking about applying for Social Security Disability, and not a long-term disability or some like benefit offered through the union, then sometimes claimants can be successful on their own. However, it is always helpful to speak to a lawyer before moving forward. Most disability... View More

What is your question? Speedy Trial is far more complex than what most people believe. Generally, it may entitle you to release pending trial on your own recognizance. The 6-month rule a lot of people refer to really only applies to people awaiting trial who are also MDOC prisoners, and even then... View More

A landlord-tenant relationship can be formed as you are describing your current situation: you pay $300 a month, and he lets you stay there. When that is established, the legal process of eviction is the remedy. That starts with either a 30-day or 7-day "notice to quit"; in rare... View More

Are you an adult? If so, I don't see why you can't petition for a name change with the probate court. But please note that if you have a criminal history, you may not be able to do so.

How old is your son? There is no requirement for the police to open a case if their investigation shows no crime or other action they can take.

That would likely be the case unless there is an estate plan.

Visit, no...unless there is some sort of court order. The landlord can certainly restrict you from having roommates. A good lease will detail what constitutes a visitor and a roommate (e.g. visitors cannot stay more than 3 consecutive overnights within a two week period). As you have previously... View More

You're right: there are different rules for 17 year olds. You can be charged as an adult. Seeing that your girlfriend is close in age, and I assume the cop didn't notice anything else out of the ordinarily except for a curfew violation, I think it was appropriate for the police to call...

I do not think you'll be stopped doing this, assuming that you two live in the same general area (i.e. you're not driving between, say, Lansing and Detroit for these rides).
