North Dakota Questions & Answers
Q: if a town make a rule change and they seize you personal belongings do they have to composite you for the money invested
Nicholas Nelson's answer
Further details are needed to adequately address your question.
Generally speaking, a law is not valid if it seeks to "punish" a person for an "act" that was previously legal. However, as I said, I cannot provide adequate legal advice without first discussing all the particular facts and circumstances of your matter.

Nicholas Nelson's answer
Your question has multiple factors that cannot be adequately answered without a full consultation.
However, general speaking, a parent may bring a custody dispute in ND if the child lives in ND. To protect your parental rights, you may want to file for a judicial order that gives you custody and prevents the father from taking the children out of state.

Q: Police came to apartment after girlfriend called claiming i hit hee but i was not there when they arrived but 2 warrants
Nicholas Nelson's answer
With active warrants you want to retain an attorney as soon as possible. If you truly were not there, you certainly would have a chance of beating the charges.
Your options are to either 1) continue absconding and wait to be either arrested or summoned to court or 2) get an attorney, then turn yourself in and hopefully get released on bail pending your trial - then gather witnesses that can account for your whereabouts on the night in question.

Q: If I'm a primary parent of a 4 year old am I able to move within the state of North Dakota?
Lucas Wynne's answer
You should consider the ramifications of such a move before making the move. Those ramifications are dependent on whether a court order is in place and whether doing so might give another party reason to bring a motion as to the current situation with your child.

Q: Is there a law that requires me to plow the snow on the sidewalk in front of my house? What if someone falls there?
Lucas Wynne's answer
Most cities have an ordinance that requires you to plow the snow. If somebody falls, you should call your homeowner's insurance company immediately and they should defend against any lawsuit on your behalf.

Q: My dad just recently died. I'm fourteen and my step mother is keeping all my dad's stuff. What do I do?
James W. Martens' answer
Presuming your dad died without a will and both of his parents are also deceased, your stepmother would be entitled to the first $150,000, plus half of any balance (i.e., anything remaining above the initial $150,000) of his estate. Not knowing more about the valuations of his property at the time of his death, whether property he owned was owned jointly with your stepmother, and other factors, it is difficult to say what rights you or any of his other children may have.
