Now, a year later, CaseNet continues to say 'case with PA'. Is this beyond the statute of limitations? When I called the court they said if there is no new date in a year I can forget about the ticket. True?
Not necessarily. The Prosecutor has 1 year from the date of the incident to file the charge. It is possible that the Prosecutor filed the charge within the 1-year statute of limitations, but the court clerk just hasn't set the case on a docket and notified you of the court date yet. If that... Read more »
In Missouri, a married couple taking title as husband and wife are taking title as tenants by the entirety.
We are in the process buying a new house. This home was listed as being an “as is” sale. We had a home inspection preformed for our protection as it’s an 110 year old farm house. The listing stated the product had a septic system. The inspection revealed there is only a discharge pipe that... Read more »

Missouri does not recognize Common Law marriage, unless the couple was living in another State where it was lawful. Beyond that, it sounds to me like they WERE married but had separated.

An attorney would need to review your lease. It’s unclear whether remained there on January 27 and you paid rent for the next month. If you stayed and paid and the landlord accepted the rent then you might be on a month-to-month tenancy. Any lawsuit that you file probably won’t get an... Read more »

Yes. She should be ready to prove to the border patrol officer that her visit to the US is only temporary and that she intends to return to her home country because she has strong ties there (ex: job, family, real estate, financial obligations, etc). Best wishes!

It’s unclear what relief you seek. Small claims court is only for money damages. Okay you seek injunctive relief, such as an order into remove the defamatory statements, you cannot get such relief in small claims court.

The order was canceled and I received a refund. It shows a zero balance for the item. Am I obligated to return the item?
A Missouri attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a long time. If you received a refund, then the company is entitled to return of its merchandise. That's a general legal premise nationwide. Good luck

There’s a bit more going on, here. You can be asked for evidence that the jointly sponsored alien is actually deceased. Otherwise, he may deemed as a dependent and you can be viewed as misrepresenting on the form I-864.

can it keep them from being placed with their biological father who is a deadbeat and will not take care of them and only wants them for my sister's social security? We have not yet found a will but still have some things to go through.
To get custody of the children you will need to file for a guardianship over the minors. If the father wants the children it would have to be a contested guardianship case. Either way you will need to hire an attorney.
