Your should discuss the information with dad and see if you can reach an agreement and give him the information on the children's health. As long as the travel time or being with dad does not harm the children, Dad can decide if he should to have his visitation time when the children are ill.

The emergency excusing vehicle registration renewal in Texas ended April 14, 2021. If the stop occurred prior to that date, it was illegal and you should be able to get the offense dismissed.
It may help if you bring your current post-April 14 registration to demonstrate that you complied... Read more »

I'm not aware of any legislation that addresses the matter at this time. The issue has been recognized, and non-alcohol sanitizers have been implemented in some places. But it may be up to public health agencies or lawmakers to institute industry-wide measures. Good luck
If the airline doesn't require a proof of vaccination to enter the US, would a non-citizen have any issues upon arrival? Is there a CDC check at the airport? There wasn't one a few months back.

The right to speedy trial is within 180 days if you’re being held on another case. If you only have one case and you agree to continuances then you’re right to speedy trial is not invoked. You need to talk to your attorney. On circuit court trials they typically take 1 to 3 years. Covid has not... Read more »

My mom is able to sign paper work due to a stroke from COVID-19 in February 2022 her nursing home wants me to sign paper work I don't understand

answered on Dec 19, 2022
I would imagine the paperwork is standard admission documents, financial documents, and likely advanced care directive documents. If your mom is going into a nursing home and had a stroke, you should likely setup a trust or will if you have not already for her, and you should probably work on... Read more »

Even though as of today those various COVID mask requirements and executive orders in Minnesota have expired, can someone be still fined, if for example this person was recorded and identified on video visiting a bar or restaurant without a mask back in 2020, during 'Peacetime... Read more »

answered on Dec 16, 2022
Because Minnesota Statutes §609.735 CONCEALING IDENTITY, appears to make wearing a mask "to prevent spread of disease" (as opposed to "medical treatment"), in public, a crime; I would challenge any attempt to enforce an "executive order" to the contrary. I've... Read more »

I have been medically signpost with depression and many other health issues due to covid aftermath.

In the absence of a written employment agreement to the contrary, employment in Texas (and in most US states) is at-will. That means you can resign for almost any reason. It is almost certain that your former employer will not pursue any claims against you under the circumstances.

If you have no assets or taxable income (for example you are on SSI), or very low income, Chapter 7 may be a good option.

No. The covid emergency orders explicitly stated that you could NOT do this. If she is doing this in violation of a parenting order then you can file a motion to show cause.
The second one due to having covid. It took ages to reschedule that second interview. Now they want evidence for why I missed the second one, but I never went to the doctor and don't have evidence. I think it might be faster to withdraw my I-130 and re-apply. Can I do that.?

answered on Oct 22, 2022
Was there a concurrent adjustment of status application filed by your husband? If so, withdrawing could be costly both in terms of money and time. If this was a stand-alone I-130 petition, they don’t usually call for interview unless there is an issue with your personal background as the... Read more »

No one can force you to resign. Resignation is a voluntary act by you. However your employer can terminate you if you refuse to do what is required of you, including getting boosted. You would not have a meritorious legal claim if you are fired because you refused to follow the company's... Read more »
