She hired me back I never signed anything when I moved back . Also now that she has let me go she is say I owe her the... Read more »
If you were an employee, and the money she gave you was for work you performed, it is not likely that you owe the money to her. If you were an employee, and it was not for work you performed, she might have a claim. If you were an independent contractor, the answer to the question would depend.... Read more »
I'll be 18 the month after my son is born and my partner of 2.5 years is 20. We are not married and would like to wait for marriage. I'm curious because I'm a minor by technicality. Will he still be allowed on the birth certificate? Will they still allow him to sign it saying our son is his child?
Yes. He can sign the Affidavit of Parentage, and be listed on the child's birth certificate. To legitimate the child, however, he will need to adopt or marry you.
I just moved to North Carolina from California and I have an existing custody order, which states I have joint legal custody, and visitation for the summer, my son is suppose to be here in Clayton, Nc with me at this moment but he's not and his father is keeping him from me. I can't get... Read more »
If your joint custody is based on a court order, you would need to file for contempt in the court that granted the order. If its based on an agreement that the two of you had, you'll need to file an action for custody in the home state of the child (most likely where the child has lived for... Read more »
My parents immigrant visa petition has been approved by USCIS and send to NVC. They are in USA on visitor visa and I am thinking about filing i-485 so they dont have to travel back and forth in this environment.
Yes, you should be able to file for their adjustment of status. However be sure to contact an attorney to discuss in further detail.
He wants to leave the house to his kids but stipulate that I can stay in the home after his death if I so chose. Can they force me out? I would rather refinance so the home is in both of our names and to give me security.
He will need to either title the property to himself, with you having a life estate, or state in his Will that you can remain in the house until you die. Otherwise "yes" you can be forced out, with proper notice. If you are on the loan, you should be on the title, but that doesn't... Read more »
I was at university during the spring and once covid took over, I was online, it was difficult for me to resist the temptation to quickly get an answer. I tried my best to learn the material correctly but knowing I could just look it up made it difficult for me to learn properly. I blame covid... Read more »
I don't have a direct answer at all. But, just so you get a sense for how school staff treat students involved in disciplinary actions (these mostly deal with a spectrum of sexual behaviors) check out all that I regularly blog about. You may well come out with a view that whether or not you... Read more »
I am not sure I follow your question. It seems like you are saying husband had a child with another woman and wife at one time did not know. However, wife now knows and wife wants child support. If that is the case, wife is not entitled to child support if the child is not hers. Regardless,... Read more »
the rental agreement is now on a month to month basis
If you are no longer looking to proceed with the eviction, you can file a dismissal of the action. The clerk of court has a form that you can use.
Well, assuming the grace period has already expired and there's no common law use or federal registrations/pending applications for anything identical or similar then you could attempt to register the mark. I'd recommend hiring a trademark attorney to search both the USPTO records and... Read more »
Husband works 2 full time jobs and a part-time job. I work part-time from home. Aug marks 11 years of marriage. We have 10 yr old with autism. We rent a townhouse and everything is in his name. Should I move out? If I do, can I get financial help before the actual divorce? I just don't have... Read more »
Generally it is best to resolve your marital issues before moving out. The easiest and least expensive way to resolve all your marital issues is to be fair with each other and have your agreements put into a formal written Separation and Property Settlement Agreement. This can be done very... Read more »
A NC resident dies with a will but the adult child in poor health dies before the will is processed. The child has siblings, a spouse and children of their own.
It depends on what the parent's Will states. In most cases, the property would go to adult child's heirs or the persons/entities the adult child left property to in his/her Will.
I ended up in two separate mental health facilities. I was hit in the head by another patient at the second facility. A police report was filed, although I never got the opportunity to speak with the police. My husband had to threaten to contact the news to be able to see me. I want to sue the... Read more »
I'm sorry for your ordeal. This is something that a North Carolina attorney could advise best on, but your post remains open for two weeks. A first step here might be to reach out to an attorney to discuss the matter in detail. If they felt you might have a good basis for a case(s), they could... Read more »
The contract you signed may have a "force majeure" clause that explains what extraordinary circumstances void the contract. If the contract has no such clause, you may still argue:
- Frustration of purpose: when the purpose of the contract (for you) is destroyed by unforeseeable... Read more »
"Charges" is a criminal law concept. Only the government can press charges.
If what you mean is that you filed a lawsuit in civil court, you can file a withdrawal.
If you really did mean charges, and you are the alleged victim of the crime, you can contact the prosecutor... Read more »
You are likely going to have to take care of the ticket in some fashion. Paying it off is usually not a good idea. If you don't know what you are doing, paying the ticket off could suspend you further and / or cause an insurance increase. Your best bet is to hire a traffic attorney in the... Read more »
To clarify is she an ex. We both are on the loan and deed. Were together 8 years. What is needed to be done to sell or buyout?? I no longer care to own house, want to sell. However, she will not have an adult conversation with me about it. What if she cannot obtain the house in her name only?
If you are not married, you are likely tenants in common. If so, there is really no need to 'discuss' it with her - she doesn't really have much choice, so you can essentially just tell her how things are going to be. If you want, her choices are pretty much limited to either... Read more »
What can o do to make that happen
First, I would find out WHY. Unless there is already a court order in WA or your daughter was born in WA, if the child has lived in NC for at least 6 months, NC would be the home state of the child, and you would need to petition the court here to modify the custody arrangement (unless your ex...

His mom keeps telling him all this bad stuff about his dad and calling the cops, making threats and he is tired of it. He is so unhappy when he has to go home, he acts out.
You are caught in a very difficult situation. Based on what you've shared, it doesn't sound like you would have standing to sue for custody, and I'm assuming that his father is not apt to sue for custody. If you think he might, encourage him to at least meet with an attorney, to see... Read more »
Will they dismiss the charge
That is kinda like saying if I kill someone will they dismiss the charges if I throw away the gun. They would likely consider dismissing the charges if you got the car fixed and got the tags and inspection squared away. Maybe even if you got a new car with current tags. However, they are not...
