Yes, the usual statute of limitations regulations apply. In criminal law it will be for a theft crime and in civil law probably for conversion, depending on the circumstances. Depending on the state you are in this time can be pretty short, for example one year or relatively long, like 5 years...

This will be a tricky issue. If he does not earnestly pursue an education he may lose his entitlement of child support. While parents are responsible for support during the education they cannot be forced to pay for children who do not really make any effort in achieving the education. But as...

This is not really a legal problem, I fear. This is an issue of trust, love and growing up. You realized that your mom loves you and is concerned about you because of that. You also feel that you can handle the situation so far yourself. You two need to come to an understanding with which both...

This sounds very much like scare tactics. While the courts will always decide custody based on what is best for the child, fact is that in the overwhelming majority of decisions physical custody is awarded to the mother.

It depends. You have to answer all questions on immigration forms truthfully. If the question is: have you been arrested... then you have to answer yes, even if no conviction resulted from the arrest. You will be fingerprinted by the USCIS and they will be able to access all records...

Shoplifting is a crime of moral turpitude. If the maximum possible sentence is one year or less (which it probably is in your case, since you say it is a misdemeanor charge), then you probably are lucky if you don't have any other record

Hm, I posted this lately in another thread: http://www.safetyed.org/help/stalking/stalkusa.html#B If he lives in another state it might well be some of these federal laws are applicable. In a civil action I was rather thinking of intentional infliction of emotional distress, invasion of...

Many postings here ask for rules, like expungement of records, statute of limitations, minimum and maximum sentences etc etc. It is impossible to answer those questions if we do not know which state you are talking about. Yet, most posters here do not offer this information. Therefore...

Well, even if people usually call the crime "identity theft" usually the obtaining of the identitiy information is not the issue (in your case you obtained it by his own volition anyway), what is a crime is USING it for fraudulent purpose. And since you don't do this, there is no case...

Most of the questions have been answered several times in this forum. Just read some of the other postings in this section. If an American citizen and a Canadian citizen have a child together, in most cases the child will have both citizenships regardless of the country in which he or she...

A Hauptschulabschluss is comparable to a High School Diploma here, it is basically the minimum requirement for a job, only very few mostly minimum wage jobs are available without. Therefore it is pretty reasonable that he tries to get a complete education now, comparable to the American GED...

I would say this is a good compromise: You want to get out 4 months early, the company could insist on 4 more rents, so they offer a compromise where you pay two more rents. While you might have a case in court, consider the aggravation of being sued and having to defend and all that and...

Yes, not under a theory of ownership, but under the theory of invasion of privacy.

They will probably look at the total picture including the findings of the immigration judge.

If there is a valid judgment against you and you ignore it the plaintiff who won the judgment can come and collect. Depending on what it is about he can come with the Sheriff and take some of your belongings, or garnish your wages, or otherwise try to get what has been awarded to him. You would...

Have a look at the IRS website, they have some information about the difference between employee and independent contractor. It mostly depends on the measure of control the employer exerts and the means of the work and the duration of the employment. Example: If you "contract" only...

Hm, it depends on the details here. If your mistake was unreasonable, then you have to bear the consequences. But if your mistake was reasonable for a person of your background and/or it was actually unreasonable for him to let you do the work for which you were not qualified, it might be him...

Hm, I remember there are two different kinds of "outside gardening center" areas: some which are enclosed by a fence and can only be entered from the store and others which are open to the parking lot. In those you actually have to pass through a checkout first if you enter from the store. This...

It depends very much on the provisions of the contract. But even if the contract says that you cannot terminate early, there might be issues of breach of contract on the side of the gym. Since it is about a pretty big sum of money you should invest in a consultation by an attorney and have him...

it has to be fgured out. If you are in a no-fault state, the insurance company usually pays your own damage instead of the other's damage, and his will pay his. If you are not in a "no-fault" state, the insurance company will have to try to figure out who was to blame, or spoken more...
