It says deposed on a guilty plee

answered on May 16, 2022
It means just that: the criminal case ended because the defendant said "I did it", eliminating the need for a trial.
I've read that in Michigan it is required that police vehicles have identifying markings in order to do routine traffic stops and that it is unlawful for an unmarked police vehicle to initiate a traffic stop. Is there any written law to indicate this? Must they call in a marked unit to... Read more »

What do you mean by "marked" cars? Some police agencies conduct traffic enforcement with cars equipped with lights / sirens, but no other markings. Those are not "unmarked" cars.
You have a potential defense to a fleeing and eluding charge if the car was truly unmarked... Read more »

You potentially have an uphill battle. You need to show a change of circumstance or proper cause. You can move to PR, but it's likely going to come at the expense of Mom gaining primary custody, and you having parenting time in summers and major school breaks.
I want to claim leftover proceeds from 2017 tax auction. I owed $1,500 selling price was $29,000

answered on May 16, 2022
I'm not sure you have a claim after so much time has passed, or if it would be financially worth it for you to pursue. Generally, when houses are foreclosed and auctioned, the taxes get paid and the bank or mortgage company get what they get. Sometimes they win big; sometimes not.

First thing is that you would need to establish his paternity. Until then, he is, as you expressed, just a stranger to the child with no legal right whatsoever, except what you've been allowing for.
Think of it this way: if I (a complete stranger on the internet) called you and asked... Read more »
I recently found out that an employee who works in a health center (located within a high school) currently has a student living in their home. There is not blood relation to the student and no legal documentation indicating the employee has guardianship or can care for the student. The student is... Read more »

answered on May 16, 2022
My first question is what does this have to do with you? If you are not the employee in question, or that person's employer, or this now adult, I'm not seeing a question. It's possible the employee has (had) a power of attorney signed by the student's parents. Of course now that... Read more »

No, police don't need to hear or listen to your side of the story. Take what the cop said for what it is: a warning. Now you know, if you didn't before, that woman doesn't want anything to do with you, so don't call, text, write, draw pictures, or anything else about her.
I attend a private christian college (Cornerstone University) in Grand Rapids MI who has bi-weekly chapels (like a christian lecture/sermon thing). Normally 15 of these are required a semester but if you have a work conflict you can be excused. I do have a work conflict, but recently they added the... Read more »

Your general sense would be right if you were attending a public school. You are attending a private, religious school. I would assume not paying the fines, and certainly continuing to not attend or watch chapel services, will eventually result in the school asking you to leave. The school has... Read more »
When someone punches another in the face, reportedly triggering a seizure and the individual dies does this constitute murder?

answered on May 13, 2022
There are several statutory forms of murder: 1st degree / felony murder, second degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, and involuntary manslaughter. The facts of the case determine the degree.
In the fact scenario you provided, the person could be charged with involuntary manslaughter,... Read more »

I got behind a few months on my rent and finally told her that I'm just gonna have to move. I can't afford the place any longer. Now she wants me to pay the 3 months back rent plus an additional $50 a day late fees. The late fee totals are $4500. I understand the back rent and even a few... Read more »

I would suggest moving as soon as you can. If she tries to evict you, I doubt a judge is going to impose that much in late fees as at first blush it seems excessive. But there is a lesson in this: read closely what you sign.

You should consult an immigration lawyer for specifics on any nuances you may be subject to - particularly whether you need to declare a new location before moving. But generally, residency is prospective and intentional, determined by the place you intend to reside going forward. You have a lease,... Read more »
If yes - How do I determine damages?

answered on May 10, 2022
Mr Geers is exactly correct, and I would add, if you don't know what your damages are, they likely won't 'stand up' in Court. The FIRST thing you need to think about when litigation is possible is 'what are my damages and how much might I expect to recover?'... Read more »
I settled back in the fall of 2021 The court order is to repair the easement and install a colvert so the water can flow back in to the drainage ditch like it before they changed it How long do i wait or do they have to do this court order before i have a letter or refile back in court

answered on May 9, 2022
It will depend on what the court order or settlement agreement (if applicable) requires. If there is not a time set to complete the work, then it should be done within a reasonable time frame. However, most court orders will have a set time for a party to follow the court's requirements.... Read more »

It's impossible to say without reviewing the complete transcript to determine context. Also, without know what the judgment of divorce says, it's impossible to tell if the judge abused his or her discretion.

You're in a quasi-legal jam. I'm not sure how someone moves in four times uninvited; you may have a tenancy issue and find that you need to formally evict this person. She could file a claim and delivery action for her stuff. Will she do that, who knows. Likewise, I'm not sure how... Read more »
I'm not sure what category to put this in.

answered on May 5, 2022
Your question depends more on where the cop was on your property, and your standing in the action. Cops can lie, and so you, they can say they are someone's landlord.
I assume you are asking about a situation that led to an arrest - and not your own. In that case, you have no... Read more »

I assume you contacted the police? If so, you'll probably need a copy of the police report to show fraud on any of your financial accounts. Other than that, let the police do what they do.
To be more specific what taxes? how and when are they taken out? do I do them for employee? and for such a simple job will I need to give the employee any benefits? get insurance(s)? anything?
What else should I know? Anything and everything helps. Thank You!
