My sister is doing a medicine recidency and her program might be cut off. In case that happens she will be deported to Peru. Her husband would start the procedure for her to return to the states as his wife, but does not want the baby to leave the usa. What are my sisters´ rights, if she wants to... Read more »
That is more of a family law question. If your sister is awarded custody, or if the baby’s father allows your sister to take the baby, then she should have no issues.
My grandchildren are living in North Dakota with her father he has only had custody for 3 years prior to that they lived with my husband and I in Washington State. They are 13 and not happy or well taken care of by their father and stepmother there have been issues with physical and verbal abuse... Read more »
If they have been living in North Dakota the requisite amount of time, then it may be time for a child custody proceeding to be initiated.
I got pulled over for expired tags. when they asked to search me I told them I had a knife on me. The cop said he ain't going to ticket me for why he stopped me but arrested me for misdemeanor weapon concealment charge. Was that legal?
Maybe, it depends on the circumstances of the stop. Many lawyers, like myself, help individuals determine if their stop and arrest were legal.
They have dated almost two years he was 17 she was 15. They are still in school. But the mother to the 16 year old won’t let dad see the baby .
A father's rights are not there from the get-go. A child custody proceeding sounds necessary.
My ex recieved a letter from the court stating that they would not sign off on the child support because its lower than the calculated amount
You need to use the child support guidelines to calculate the correct amount and resubmit.
I have filed for custody of my son and the defendant has been served in the state of MN. If she does not respond after the 21 days given to respond, what is expected to happen then?
A default judgment could occur in which you are awarded all that you have asked for in the complaint. However, the judge is still going to review that judgment to make sure the requests are compliant with the law.
When he sells it i would get half. He's in the process of selling. He probably doesn't remember that at all. My name is not on the deed and the house is paid for. I can get a quick deed. Do I remind him of the divorce papers or what?
You remind him of the divorce papers. You then sue him for the money if he fails to turn it over. But I would suggest doing so quickly as a lawsuit is only as good as the money standing behind it.
There are some larger issues with a traffic ticket that old. Specifically, whether you have a warrant for that ticket and whether any evidence even exists anymore to prove or disprove the claim. As soon as the case is opened, yes, you could likely dispute.
Child support is difficult to modify, but a stipulated order may do the trick if you are now residing in the same household and sharing expenses.
I am married, household of three (my wife is not filing with me). I make around 72k annually and my wife makes around 35k. I run with all of the household expenses as she can only afford her debts and provides everything for her baby, she is left with nothing in her pocket after paying everything... Read more »
Highly unlikely, but you should contact a bankruptcy attorney immediately who can assess your complete financial situation.
My mother did a Contract for Deed on her house with my nephew. The house was paid for in 2014. The lawyer sent out the original deed to my mom's Personal Representative to get recorded. No one recalls ever receiving the original copy nor can anyone find it now. I have a copy of the signed... Read more »
The usual solution is the nephew needs to make a claim in your mother's probate case for distribution of your mother's share of the house to him. He will need to prove that there was a contract and it is now paid in full. It would be helpful to at least get a photocopy of the deed from the... Read more »
I'm getting married in May, and I am also graduating from my MBA in May (I have a F-1 visa). I'm planning on applying for the OPT soon and applying for the green card right after the wedding in May. How does it work if my OPT start date is in June, for example, and I apply for the green card at the... Read more »
First, it doesn’t make sense to apply for an EAD through adjustment right off, since you will have a current EAD. If your OPT EAD comes to within four months of expiring, and your green card has not yet been approved, you can apply for a new green card based on a pending adjustment application at... Read more »
I'm getting married in May and applying for the green card right after, but I was wondering if I can have issues with my future wife changing her last name to mine since on my passport, they put my middle name with my last name My last name on my birth certificate is different from the...

You need to show proof of lawful name change.
At what age can a child skip a visit. If they just don't want to go? She goes there every other weekend for one night. We have been divorced for 4 years. What is the ND laws on this?
The court order must be followed. Skipping court ordered visits is likely to result in very serious problems, including giving the other party potential grounds to modify the order.
You should check the city code where you live. If you cannot find the answer online then contact them by telephone.
Sorry, but this is not a question. Get more specific and try again!
A speeding ticket only? A lawyer may be a bit overkill in terms of price.
bringing me the paperwork to change the chip info on the dog. This request was made on behalf of the owner who also had 4 pit bulls placed with a rescue during this same incident. The owner, in possession of all my contact info, employment and knew where I lived, never showed, never called or... Read more »
Yes, but you may be able to sue them for expenses in caring for the dog.
I'm also on parole .. and am doing intermediate measure right now
Yes - but not in a good way. The judge will kick your dates back because you're not there, likely hold you in contempt and revoke you on anything outstanding, and you may be charged with additional crimes for absconding. I've helped a good number of people figure out their court date issues and... Read more »
I just want my dog back
The dog is property. You may have to go to the police station and report that she stole your dog, then see if they issue a warrant. They may tell you they're not interested in helping you, in which case you will need to file a lawsuit for the dog in the state where the property (the dog) is... Read more »
