They can hold it, but once it is proven that she was authorized to accept it, they should release the funds.
If your vehicle is 5 years old or newer and the damage was over 35% of the value you must disclose.
It depends on a lot of factors that can not be easily discussed on a forum like this. So you should consult with a DWI attorney. Some DWI issues are time sensitive so you should do that ASAP. Suffice to say - you should be more concerned about possible jail time than the lost of license.
He did not get his car taken or anything like that, he did not get a ticket on the spot, just a court date.
What will happen depends on what choices your boyfriend makes. If he continues to make incredibly bad choices such as driving 120/70 - bad things are likely to happen. So what he likely ought to choose is to consult with a traffic attorney ASAP. Typically at that speed, he will also be charged... Read more »
Being on the deed and being a borrower on the mortgage are two different things. Being on the mortgage is irrelevant but if your mom is on the deed to your house and she leaves her portion of the house to your sister in a will or dies without a will - then yes, it is possible you will sharing the...

My mom lives in a nursing home here in NC with advance dementia. I need to get guardianship to conclude her business in NYC? Will NY state accept it if I am deemed her guardian here in NC?
I think many (if not all) of my fellow NC attorneys would be hesitant to answer this question as it seems to involve New York law. You should probably re-submit your question in the NY area of this site.
It hasn't been took care of and I am afraid codes will fine me for not mowing property. Abandoned home in the neighborhood.
You have not stated what estate you and the Deceased owned (tenants in common, life estate/remainder, etc.). The Deceased's Heirs own his share, if any. Did he have issue? If so, they are tenants with you. What about your Parents? You probably need a competent attorney to record an... Read more »
Can they force me to take their menu off of my site and not accept orders from them?
A North Carolina attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for three weeks. As a general matter, elements of North Carolina law aside, they could sue. Whether they prevailed would be up to a court, but they could argue that they want association only with a given delivery service,... Read more »
For example, say the supporting spouse was making $50,000 as of the date of separation but got a raise 9 months later to $75,000. Should the alimony be based on the $50,000 or $75,000? Also, is this county dependent?
There isn't one answer and It is really going to be judge dependent. You would make the argument that it should be based on the $75,000, the other side will make the argument it should be based on $50,000, and most likely the judge would factor both of those amounts into their final award....

Improper venue- we live in different counties. I'm enrolled in a Native American tribe in ANOTHER county. My son lives with me.

I am going to give a total cop-out answer, but you really need to speak with a local family law attorney. There appears to be a lot going on in your case, and I am hesitant to give advice because I feel like I don't know the whole story.
I highly doubt that a motion to dismiss or a... Read more »
-dad adopted child
-child has no legal mother
-dad dies with no will
- daughter becomes executor
- other family member petitions the court to become guardian
Who legally becomes guardian of a minor child and their assets?
Guardianship does not happen automatically. You must petition the court to become guardian of the child. The court will most likely chose the person(s) who have a relationship with the child most similar to a parent-child relationship. If you want to be considered, you must petition the court...

We signed a contract 5 months ago, they installed everything but the gates and 39' of fencing. They are not communicating with us and have failed to finish the project. It's a safety issue to not have the gates and we'd like to install them ourselves at this point. Can we legally... Read more »
I am sorry to hear that this happened to you. It is good that you asked prior to doing anything. It is always important to look to the contract first. Basically, look at your contract and see if there are provisions governing when the fence must be installed, when your payments must be made, and... Read more »
Purchased a truck and less than 24 hours later started having mechanical issues. As of right now I still haven't had the vehicle for 24hrs. Is there a time frame where I can cancel the contract?
The first place you should look is your purchase contract with the dealership. See what rights and obligations you have regarding the purchase. If you have an option to return the truck, or have the dealership repair it, the purchase contract should outline your rights.
If the contract is... Read more »

Just making sure I understand the question: are you asking if you can sue your brother-in-law for failing to inform you that your sister was ill and later died?
Well, you can sue anyone for anything, even if the lawsuit is frivolous and has no chance of success. But I don't see how... Read more »
6,000. They offered a settlement of around 1500. I was able to send in $550 but was unable to settle as soon as they wanted. I continued to stay in contact but they voided the settlement. I am in NC but the loan originator is out of state. My question is will they automatically garnish my wages or... Read more »
More details are needed. Was this an internet "payday loan"? if so, they are unlikely to sue. If this was a local finance company or a bank, they might sue or they might not. We do not have wage garnishment in North Carolina. If this is an out of state lender they may sue you in that... Read more »

I recommend ordering a copy of your NC driving record, and setting up a consult with an experienced DWI attorney to review the record and see if you've complied with all of the requirements of your DWI conviction. Typically, to get reinstated after a DWI conviction, you must (1) obtain a DWI... Read more »

When a judge enters in money you owe to the court as a civil judgment against you, it basically means that you now owe the state that money. How it is usually paid back is either by you going to the courthouse and paying it directly, or if the state ever owes you money (e.g., a state tax refund, or... Read more »
