You have good reasons to be worried. First of all, "common law marriage" is a concept that is not recognized in most states. Even in those few states that still recognize it, merely living together does not create a "marriage" and rights based upon that. Therefore, it could very well be that in...
You basically already know where the problem is. There is no easy solution. First of all, you have to make sure that she in fact has legal and physical custody. In Germany usually parents are awarded joint custody, but in cases of abuse or similar courts do award sole custody. Nevertheless, even...
Now I am no expert on the laws of California, so there might be some local laws pertaining to this. But generally this is not unlawful.
What happened here is that you formed a contract. The car wash promised to give you a car wash, and you tendered your money in exchange for this promise...
Well, it seems to me a lot of things are being thrown together here which don't belong together.
First of all there is the distinction between civil law and criminal law. Criminal law punishes wrongdoers but does not intend to "undo" the damage of the individual. That is the job of civil...

You should always be careful about what is written on a public forum. Not all the information is accurate.
If you want to clean up a criminal record obtained in California you can do that without a lawyer, though I would advise to let an attorney do it, because you have to be...
Well, your friend will have some difficulties if he wants to go this way. Of course, it always is a little tricky to claim things and defend against claims when there is no paperwork. But this is the gist of the law here:
A gift cannot be enforced, in other words, if someone tells me: I will...
Hm, that scenario surely raises a couple of questions you should discuss with your attorney.
First of all, a traffic stop needs a legal basis, which might be doubtful here if this law actually had not been enacted yet. But one would have to look at the exact citation and circumstances...
Read the instructions on the ticket. Otherwise, to make sure, ask when you call. But usually if they let people pay the fine by mail they do that in order not to clog the courts with these cases.
Yikes, this is a really broad question. But if you are a suspect, feel you could easily become one or even know that you did commit the crime, I would always want legal representation at every point in the investigation.
Yes, you have a contract with them: they did the work, you promised to pay for them. That they made a mistake in billing does not discharge you from your duty to pay. So if you don't pay, you would be breaching the contract and could be sued.
a "Homeowners Association" is just that: an association. So if there would be one, you would have to be able to find: a board, members, regular meetings, bylaws, financial reports, minutes etc etc.
You cannot just invent a phantom HOA
libel means that a false statement of fact was made. If you are in fact banned from using a forum, the assignment of that "title" would not be a false statement.
As to your question about making this a case, in law school our professors taught us to argue any side of any case. So I am sure...
We try to have a professional appearance in this forum, therefore I thknk this posting is not appropriate. We all have our opinions about the questions and cases posted here, but we keep them to ourselves.
I assume that it was a waiver to have an attorney present at questioning by the police. That by no means would preclude her to have an attorney at any other stage of the proceedings. On the contrary, if this is going to be a jury trial, she definitely needs to have an attorney.
Oh. And who are you, if I may ask the question? May be you could give us some info about your background. Which law school you have been to, for example, or something that tells me that you really have a vastly superior knowledge than "refusetostop".
Your statement concerning gun ownership...
I am not quite sure where the libel is in this. Libel is a defamatory statement of fact that has been published. Where is the statement the forum owner made?
If you would file a suit you probably could obtain a subpoena against the the web-hosting company to reveal the identity of the...
This is very difficult if the landowner does not want to get involved. Basically itr is the same as I have written above, the legal recourse is a suit for private nuisance, which can be brought against the neighbors and theoretically even against the landlord. But you must know if you want to...
since you have an attorney you should discuss this with her or him. If he or she doesn't really know, you might want to consult an immigration attorney, too, and BEFORE you go to court.
You are facing the risk of being deported, even if one of the counts get dismissed. It depends on the...
Hm, here we are reaching the limits of what this forum can do. We cannot give legal advise here like you would get it in an attorney's office in a regular client-attorney relationship. On first glance this sounds very much as if you could be held liable, for assault, and may be other things...
