As you have been told before by me and other attorneys, you need to hire an attorney if you have been charged with a crime. You cannot represent yourself on this by asking questions online. All cases are very fact specific and there is no silver bullet to defend you. Please call an attorney.

There is no "law" on this issue. It is a matter of what the parties agreed to at the time of divorce. Your decree should indicate how the children would be claimed on taxes. If there is no provision for child support for the adult child, then you would be entitled to claim the adult child... View More

This is a better question for your accountant, but normally the estate will issue a K1 to each beneficiary that received cash distributions from the sale of the house that year. The house appreciation from the date of death will be attributable to the beneficiaries to whom it was distributed to at... View More

Hello,

I am sorry for your plight. If this is in Utah and it is a Will, then your husband as a beneficiary is entitled to a copy of the will. Legally they are and the PR / Executor has to give him a copy as well as the inventory when it is completed. The only real stick you have in order to... View More

Your relationship is defined by the rental agreement. If this specific amenity fee is on the rental agreement, or if the total fees you pay is stated in the agreement, then you have agreed to that amount for the time period of the agreement.

If you have been charged with a crime, contact an attorney immediately. Your theory is wobbly. No matter what, I would think moving somewhere else may help as well.

Don't talk to the neighbors. If the police come around, don't speak to them without an attorney present.

I would not advise it. I almost always include language in my parenting plans which require both parties to provide an itinerary and contact information whenever a child travels out of state overnight.

Additionally, it is difficult to overcommunicate where children are concerned. Try... View More

I believe what you actually need is a conservatorship. You are already the child's guardian by virtue of your status as surviving parent.

Be forewarned: as conservator, you will be responsible to the Court for every cent in your daughter's account. You may only spend funds from... View More

Yes, you can. The police can cite you, but the individual who claimed to observe the driving would need to show up and testify at the trial to convict you. It sounds like you have a commercial driver license. There are federal laws that only apply to CDL holders and you should contact an attorney... View More

It sounds like whoever set the disposition hearing was under the impression you were ready to change your plea. If you have been arraigned (which is to say you have formally entered a not-guilty plea), that would be the only reason to set it for disposition. Don't worry, though. Unless you go... View More

The short answer is "yes." Prior precedent within the state is referred to as binding or controlling, as lower courts are required to follow it and appellate courts (simply put) would have to overrule it to depart from it. Authority from other jurisdictions is considered... View More

Yes, you need a lawyer. A lawyer can review the case and first make sure that you don't have a defense. Then they can help you get the best possible outcome. You can actually be charged $1,000 plus a 90% surcharge on all class B misdemeanors. It is unlikely that they will do that, but... View More

Of course you can get charged. Proving it is another question. You need an attorney right now. You can't defend this on your own.

It is not necessary to register in two states. In Utah, you can register a new business without revealing the names of the owners. To do this, you will need help from a third party like an attorney or registered agent services.

The newly created company will need an address, contact info,... View More

In order to establish a child custody, parent time, and child support, you need to file for separation or divorce and request temporary orders. You should act sooner rather than later, the longer you hesitate, the weaker your case will be. You truly need the assistance of a competent family law... View More

On those simple facts, no. You marry the partner, not his/her premarital debts. You would only become liable for the debt if you consented, e.g., by assuming the obligation with a writing signed by you for some new consideration.

But, if, for instance, you somehow participated in your... View More

If an item is legal for you to have in your possession and you feel that you are in imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury then you may use that item to defend yourself. If you cannot legally possess a handgun, you should not be in possession of an "air gun" either.

If... View More

Generally speaking, you need to be careful when tying to use copyrighted pictures, images, characters, or real living third party persons in your NFT's. I know this is a new area of technology, but traditional principles of copyright law still exist. Unless you are making a COLLAGE, for... View More

Probably. If you have been residing there he must follow eviction procedures to have you removed; he cannot just change the locks. If you have that address listed as your residence on your government-issued ID, the locksmith will likely open the door for you (less likely if you mention that your... View More
