A year ago my bf went to jail for online solicitation of a minor. I was wondering since my parents filed against him but won't share his sentencing information, how can I get that information as the "victim". I'll be 18 in a month and I was hoping to file a motion to drop the... Read more »
You can likely look up public access records from the court he was convicted in. It's highly likely that a no-contact order with you remains in place through his term of probation or parole. It is also highly unlikely, given your age and nature of the offense, that a judge will grant your... Read more »
A little over a month ago CPS (drug allegations and domestic violence allegations) cohorced me into verbally agreeing to a safery plan, placing my kids with my grandparents. Today I decided enough was enough and went to go get my kids. My grandparents wouldn't let me take them! Can they do... Read more »
I wouldn't worry so much about what your grandparents can or cannot do as I would what CPS will do. You run the risk of CPS filing a petition and requesting removal of the children - potentially into foster care, and exposing you to termination of your parental rights.

No contract tenant
The process starts with what's called a Notice to Quit. You'll likely need to serve that and wait 30 days before proceeding to the next step.
Was doing the posted speed limit. Tried to swerve out of the way due to lack of time to brake properly. Haphazardly told them (off record) that I would help them out but then reconsidered because they hit me. No pictures were taken of any damages. Only info given was my first name and phone number....

How do you know the other car wasn't insured? If you have received paperwork starting a lawsuit, you should consult immediately with a local attorney. It's possible to raise as a defense the fact that they weren't insured.
My son's school announced last year (before his Jr. year) that they would begin weighting courses on a 5.0 scale but would not retroactively weight the prior years for students (he took adv. & excell. courses then - as school pushed). Rather than begin this new system for the in-coming... Read more »
Your concern sounds to be more properly presented to your district's school board. I can appreciate your concern as a parent, but I'm not sure it's of a legal nature.
F1 student, is it legal to dep that check or not?
There are many facts that need to be known that you don't provide to be able to answer this question. You are best to consult with an immigration attorney. Many attorneys offer free phone consultations that may be very helpful for you to start with. Best wishes!
No. The penalty is 15 years , and the threshold is less than 10 years.
he gave me a 24 hour Eviction notice and took all of my property the next day. i was paid until the end of the month and got there in 2 days to save my property but he said he sold everything already! isnt this considered a burglary?
Burglary— no.
Perhaps a ‘civil conversion’ or improper lien attachment but without seeing the lease and notice it is hard to say for sure. ...

They gave me a bill of sale after I paid for it and told me to get an abandoned title from secretary of state the previous owner passed away but they have a son who said he couldn't find the title
So in essence they sold you something they didn't own ....
Under what authority would YOU have to apply for a lost title? That sounds like something the HEIRS of the previous owner could do, and if the park took an assignment from those heirs something IT might be able to do, but the... Read more »
I’ve moved my furniture out of the place, returned my keys, and have started the process of returning my deposit. Is there a written agreement in Michigan specifically that is required?
A lease is a contract. Generally, the parties are bound by the provisions of a signed lease. Turning in the keys is a unilateral step only. Without the landlord's release, you would still be obligated on the contract.
Yes, but you don’t ‘obtain’ it, you file it with the state’s corporation bureau.
The form is pretty self explanatory, but if you’re going to be renting property in Michigan it makes sense to hire and retain a lawyer in the area of that property to insure you comply with... Read more »
If the proceeds of the life insurance is over $5,000 then the law requires a minors money to be managed through the probate court conservator process. You would have to appointed by the probate court as your children's conservator. You will have to account to the court how much you start with... Read more »
June. We are considered over occupancy where we are now. What do we do?
Without seeing the purchase agreement it is hard to say. When was there supposed to be occupancy? At closing? Within c days of closing? Etc.
Also ‘over occupancy’ is not a term used in Michigan law. What do you mean? You’re ‘holding over’ on a previous lease? Oat one month rent... Read more »
50 percent, with the other 50% being split among the deceased child's children equally. This is called a per stirpes distribution.
Repairman left my dryer torn apart and refuses to fix it. He called me several horrific names and then hung up on me. I am a female veteran and he made it clear he doesn’t like that fact.
Reads as though there is more going on than just the repair person taking photos inside your house. It is possible there is an invasion of privacy issue here, but it might depend on what was photographed and/or whether or not the contract says anything about photographs.
I was sued for debt and received a summons and complaint. I settled with them and sent them a cashier's check certified mail after getting the settlement offer via email. They got it and say they have filed a "stop service" and that I will get something in the mail in 25-30 days from... Read more »
You can certainly check with the court to see what's been submitted. Otherwise, your answer could simply be "settled by agreement on such-and such a date".
Typically not; community service hours are ordered for a reason. Best thing to do is talk with your probation officer about what is expected of you and what you can do before it becomes an issue for the judge.
Can I still make a claim on my vehicle on others persons insurance?
Not for the vehicle; that's (one of) the consequences of not having insurance. You'd be responsible for your vehicle even if the other driver were at fault.
My brother has a power of attorney - it's long and lenghty
Actually, quite the opposite is true: his will is now the controlling document; the power of attorney is no longer effective. You would need to see the will to see what it says about distribution. Most of the time, the will express everything go to the surviving spouse. Even if the will says... Read more »
One parent in jail the other is addicted to drugs
Does the child live with the grandparent? Does the father have legal custody? Would the drug-addicted parent agree to guardianship? Is CPS involved? A lot of factors are in play, that you'd have to work through.
