North Dakota Questions & Answers
Q: I got a default judgement what can I do to get out of it ? I'm so lost I didn't understand the paper work served
Lucas Wynne's answer
I see that your question is in the North Dakota section but your location is West Virginia. These states have different laws. However, if your case is located in North Dakota, it can be difficult to escape a default judgment. Although you are facing an uphill battle, it would be wise to contact an attorney.

He cannot simply take your child. The child custody arrangement is up to the court. Usually, the court prefers to provide each child with parenting time.

Q: In north Dakota. Will my child support be raised on income I "will" make? Or is it based upon only past income?
Lucas Wynne's answer
The other party can seek a change in child support through the child support unit. Although the other party cannot unilaterally raise what you owe by simply telling you that you owe more, the state may.

Q: Is it illegal for a doctor to accuse parents for child abuse when the child was only disabled?
Lucas Wynne's answer
As soon as CPS gets involved, you need an attorney. You should ask Justia to remove this question because it could potentially be used against you.

You do not speak with the police unless your goal is to give them information that would hurt your case. You pay the bail and your boyfriend challenges the charges.

The bigger issue here is addressing why you feel pressured to enter into this arrangement. The only issue that would arise is if you agreed to a certain level of participation in the LLC or voided some other contract.

Q: In what states can a suicidal person be involuntarily committed, and for how long?
Lucas Wynne's answer
In North Dakota, 90 days initially. After that, a judge may issue an order for involuntary treatment for up to one year at a time. Treatment can be indefinite as long as the committed individual is given the right to periodic review and petition to discharge. Other rules apply. I am unsure how many lawyers practice in the area of disability law other than myself in North Dakota - I imagine it is not many.

Believe it or not, I have run into this problem being faced by my clients quite frequently in the past. A letter from a medical doctor or therapist is all that is needed to classify the animal as an assistance animal. Landlords must agree to a reasonable accommodation request if the disability claim is true and if the request does not create a hardship on the landlord or other tenants.

Q: An officer cited my age (24) three times when issuing ticket, said it is why I got a "higher" offense". Is this legal?
Lucas Wynne's answer
The simple fix is to hire an attorney. My usual approach is to assess the situation to determine if a client has a high probability of successfully contesting the ticket or cutting a deal. Generally, contesting a traffic ticket is not a high dollar case and the cost of doing so is well worth the investment due to the realities of insurance premiums increasing after a ticket. As to your question, the officer is not under any obligation to reduce your ticket. Because of this, the fact that the...
