In Germany you must have a civil marriage to be legally married. Church marriage has no legal repercussions, it is optional. Therefore your faith is irrelevant in Germany. You can marry and get divorced being Christian, Muslim or whatever, all under the same law. It is true that a divorce in...

Best way is to have a lawyer to do that. If not, ask the judge. Judges know that most people have no background in law, so don't bother about the correct terms etc. You might even ask the judge's clerk, sometimes they are helpful and tell you the correct terms. But rather admit your lack of...

Yes, like wolfmann said, it depends on the details. There are different rules for searches depending on the situation: -a simple check for the safety of the officers -search incident to arrest -plain view and so on. Their lawyer will have a look at the circumstances and find out if he...

Michigan has pretty tough drug laws. Have a look at this article and you get an idea: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/12/21/60II/main662293.shtml Simple possession of 26g will get him a prison term of up to 4 years. But if they convict him of possession with intent to sell it is up to 20...

No, you are mixing up several things: -You don't need to be arrested to be tried for a crime. Be happy that you were not arrested. An arrest shall only make sure that the accused will stand trial. If the system trusts you to come to court on your own, it will not arrest you. If you fail to go...

Probably yes, It depends on the contract and the details of your car, but most probably the garage owner was negligent in installing these things and not warning customers about their height if they indeed are lower than the waning sign at the entrance.

First: It depends on the law in your state and on what you signed there. It could be tough to fight that. Second: Good question. I always wonder how people want to prevent that ex-convicts commit crimes again when they deny them any chance of honest employment. But there is no law against...

Maryland State Code has this provision: (2) Except as provided in paragraphs (3) and (4) of this subsection, a person convicted of theft of property or services with a value of less than $500, is guilty of a misdemeanor and: (i) is subject to imprisonment not exceeding 18 months or a fine...

ah, if he worked for her, this is different, then you probably had the contract with her. Any way, the important thing is that she took the money and they did not fulfill their obligation, so they got unjustly enriched and have to restitute.

Yikes, this woman sounds dangerous. Just watch out for her. The next time she threatens you and you have that on record you might want to file criminal charges against her.

It was smart to withdraw the application, because the USCIS really frowns upon untrue statements. A first time conviction for theft usually falls under an exception from the rule that makes any criminal inadmissible to the United States under the following conditions: the crime for which...

that depends on your lease contract and your state's laws

His other child's mother? She has no rights to be around your child at all. If she harasses you, you can get a court order against her or file criminal charges.

May be. May be not. The answer really depends on all the details of the case. You should consult an attorney about this.

well, I cannot consult you on this without knowing all the details, documents etc. The forum is not the place for legal consultation, only an attorney with full knowledge of the details can do that. Generally I would shorten the letter and focus on the demand for restitution. Also it...

no he cannot. He is liable for child support and cannot just decide to "give this liability away." You might want to contact your city/county/state's department of family services (or whatever name it has in your area) and ask them for advice. They very probably have someone who will explain...

This is tough to answer. Suing them will be an inconvenience, because probably you will have to sue them in Wisconsin, in a court where they live. On the other hand, this is a lot of money. There might be some more issues, like if all legal requirements for the contract have been met etc...

actually your future premiums do not really depend on how much the judgment will be, but on how much you have increased the risk for them. And that probably will be considerably, in their eyes. So the rates will go higher. By how much nobody but your insurance company knows.

Your neighbor and her attorney are right. They can demand either cash or a professional repair. They probably will sue you if you don't pay. You might be able to demand another estimate from another professional shop and if it is lower, you probably would only be liable for that amount, but...

From what I read here you had a contract for sale of some goods between you and Chris and he assigned his rights to Carol. He breached the contract. Therefore he should be the one who is liable. So you probably can sue him. You probably can also sue her in a restitution action. The police...
