Without going into the details here, because to do that one would have to see the contract you signed and what the issues are, so much to your general questions: American and Canadian law is very similar, so a dispute about a contract probably would be handled in almost the same way in both...

I am sorry to hear about this. Actually the case is relatively straight forward: Since you both (or three) have been living in Germany for three years German family law governs. Under German family law there is no way to keep this out of court and to avoid hiring a lawyer. A divorce must...

Probably not, but hey, it's the French, you never know... :)

From what I can see you had a valid contract. What kind of reasons has this lady given for not paying?

You are right, this does not sound like a legitimate transaction for the sale of a car at all. A legit transaction should sound like this: I give you the money - you give me the car. Period. I would drop this thing as I would drop a hot potato...

This is probably a category VI weapon under French Firearms, ammunitions and weapons of war law. That would mean you need an import permit ("autorisation d’importation de matériels de guerre - armes et munitions") which you would have to get five copies of and apply with at the customs office...

I definitely think you should go to small claims court. This basically is either a contract for a sale or a contract for a service (I am not familiar with what you actually tried to buy there), but the main point is that he took your money and did not deliver. In small claims court the good...

Well, it depends on the details, but you most probably have a contract and can sue for payment. The details that are important to know is: how did the whole thing start, what was offered, when and who accepted the offer, what details were agreed on between you and the lady and so on...

Well, a carreer in law is a great choice, especially because there are so many different ways to work in law. The one thing all carreers have in common, I would say, is that you need to have fun working with words, with language, you have to love to read, to play with speech. No matter if you...

you see, in German there is a pretty old saying: "You went with them, you will hang with them!" This is exactly why I advise you to seek legal counsel soon. The prosecution must prove intent. Of course you say you had no intent. But try to be a juror who has never seen any of you...

That is serious stuff you are looking at. You should definitely get an attorney and plan a defense. Conspiracy is a crime in itself, so it is not necessary for the underlying crime, here this would be the larceny, to have succeeded. Conspiracy basically is when two or more people agree to...

the main question here is if they consented to the search of the car. The police officer probably asked them if he could search it.

The rules at least on the American side have changed. Since you were born in the United States you are an American citizen. For quite a while now following some Supreme Court decisions the U.S. government accepts dual nationality. As long as you don't explicitly express your desire to give...

hm, now it would be important to know exactly why the petition was returned. Usually the "Petition for Alien relative" governs, if this is not accepted, all the other applications cannot be accepted. In the affidavit of support your husband must prove a minimum annual income that is 125% of...

Before we go on: When did you enter the U.S.? What forms exactly have you sent where and when? What exactly has been returned? One thing you definitely should do regardless of the answers to the American immigration problem is get a Canadian passport as soon as you can. Contact...

Don't panic, help is on the way :) Let's see: you are a Canadian citizen and you are married to an American. The first question is: How did you enter this country? If you are here on a "visa waiver", that means as a tourist, you need to apply for an adjustment of status within the time...

The basic rule is: If you are convicted for a crime of "moral turpitude" you will not be allowed to enter the United States again and will not be able to receive an immigrant visa. If the crime involves controlled substances the alien is also inadmissible. Now, there is an exception to...

she should go and see an attorney, there are a lot of issues involved in this: child support, custody, questions about his mental state etc etc. She also might consult with either your city's children services department or some nonprofit group who consult in these cases as to what rights...

well, it is not quite right that they cannot do anything any more since you already quit: Yes, they cannot fire you any more because you quit yourself. But, they can sue you for the damage, this would be for the value of the stolen item, and they can file criminal charges against you...
