However, the legality of such actions can depend on various factors, including the context, the intent, and any applicable workplace... View More
I consented to a consumer report background check at my employer when up for promotion. An old active arrest warrant was discovered on the check. The employer did not notify me of the issue directly and instead contacted local law enforcement who then came looking for me. I do not believe the... View More

The situation you have shared is very concerning and may very well be a violation of employment background check compliance (such as through the Fair Credit Reporting Act) as well as a number of related obligations imposed on employers who order criminal history information reports from third...

Since you would be the person to have signed the power of attorney, you can review the documents you have signed to determine if any of them give your agent power of attorney over you (ie a durable medical power of attorney).
My parents asked what happened. I told them that I took the blame for someone else’s actions. They said they would call the school, and if the principal said something different, I would be “Beat the sh*t out of me with a belt, until my a** was so red, that I couldn’t sit down.”

You have not really asked a question so I will comment on what i think the implied question is.
If you legitimately are afraid that your parents are going to beat you up that would fall under the category of domestic violence menacing. You should report that to your school counselor.... View More

Wisconsin is a one party state. You can record as long as you are part of the conversation.

Maybe, but probably not. You are apparently in Wisconsin, and you refer to “a court order amount.”
If by this you mean a judgment, then the rate is set by Wisconsin statutes. The judgment interest rate applicable to civil actions is 1% plus the prime interest rate in effect on January... View More

Why don't you call the hospital and request you need to speak with the legal department. If they don't have one, ask to speak with the individual responsible for payments due to the hospital and tell them you need help finding out where to send the payment. If that fails, send them the... View More

Sorry to hear about your situation. You would need to file for divorce/legal separation and then seek temporary orders re: physical placement of your daughter if you want to have a legally enforceable court order to see your daughter or keep her from a harmful environment.

Hos status has nothing to do with whether you can move.
By the way it is "allowed."
He has stopped paying the mortgage and is a month behind, how do I legally obtain my house back? I am also the main borrower on the house loan, but both of our names are on the deed. He also stopped paying his half of the loan payments.

You most definitely need a lawyer.
If you also own the house, I cannot understand how he FORCED you out

You may file a complaint against the police department. The department should have an internal review mechanism. I will warn you, however, that that is unlikely to produce a satisfying outcome. Similarly, you can file a complaint against the bowling alley with its management. As with the police... View More

So if your month to month tenancy starts on the first of... View More

This is in terms of breath tests and other alcohol tests taken by police officers.
answered on Mar 18, 2019
The short answer is yes. Courts have consistently upheld implied consent testing against constitutional challenges. At least in theory, the subject person's "consent" for the alcohol test is given when they become (or remain) a licensed driver, such that the test does not constitute... View More

If you were read your rights and you declined a lawyer prior to taking the voice detection test, then it will most likely stand up. If you were not Mirandized prior to taking the test, then it should have been raised and challenged in the prosecution of your case

You should file a petition for the return of the phone under Section 968.20 of the Wisconsin Statutes. It is unclear whether there is a violation of the Fourth Amendment. You were told that you were not under arrest and voluntarily handed the phone over. You should have said no.
