    Neighbor attacked my child

    interesting story, there are people who are upset about the war in Iraq, but the more I read here, the more I think there is a war going on in our suburbs. But I don't see any question in your posting, so I wish you good luck in all your litigation.

    What recourse do I have?

    freebird is right, basically you have no recourse against petfinder. You only have recourse against the person you sent the money to. So you would have to sue that person for breach of contract. The bad thing is, that virtually all courts have decided that you have to sue him, where he lives...

    Percentage Relevant Re Boundary Tree Disposal?

    There are conflicting court decisions: in some cases courts tried to apportion the value or costs, in others they simply decided: if the tree is on the boundary line, each neighbor pays half, even when the tree was not exactly 50-50% on the line.

    My neighbor butchered my trees! What can I do?

    Depending on the state you live in there is ample case law for cases like this. Usually the rule is this: if the tree is on your side of the property the neighbor has the right to trim all the branches and roots that are invading his property but he is not allowed to do it in a manner that kills...

    boundary tree question

    This question comes up very often. Usually it is very important to be sure exactly where the tree grows, where it was planted (for example it was planted fully on one side of the boundary and only later grew over it or if it was planted right on the boundary line) and the like. But there are...

    Day Care Payments

    it depends on the details of your child support agreement or court order. But I agree with the posting above, it probably is good for the child to be at the daycare.

    Criminal Law criminal conviction

    the law says, that it must be the penal law that provides not more than 1 year of imprisonment for the crime you would be charged with. So you better want to check your penal code. It could well be that this was tried in this specific court because the law imposes no longer sentence.

    International Issue Spouse of American: Neither living in the States

    What are your questions? Basically the answers to the visa process questions are as I stated above: You have to file a petition for your husband, once it is approved he can get a green card, giving him the privilege to live in the U.S. There are the three ways to acquire that described above...

    Other Immigration Law returning resident visa - what counts?

    There might be some problems. You should have applied for a reentry permit. The Green Card is a privilege that gives you the possibility to live and work in the U.S. If for whatever reason you do not use this privilege the law assumes you have no more interest in it, abandoned it, and takes...

    Is it wrong to hack into a system without intention of damaging the system?

    it depends on what they had permission for. I am not familiar with that case or with what happened there, but if I understand correctly, there was a "contest" to hack a system, so there was a permission to do that. Now back to my question: I make a contest: See how cool my security...

    Trampolines

    hm, this is a very tricky one. The case hinges on the foreseeability of the elements here: -was it foreseeable that the storm occurred -was it foreseeable that the trampolin would cause damage Usually the rule is: even if the defendant is negligent (here for example by not securing this...

    Is it wrong to hack into a system without intention of damaging the system?

    Let me ask you a question: is it wrong when I break into your apartment or house not to take anything or do any damage inside but just to learn how you place your furniture, where you put your dirty laundry and what books you read?

    Disorderly Conduct - plead not guilty

    hm, somehow I have the feeling you haven't gotten the message yet. If you walk into the courtroom with such an attitude as you display here, the judge will be very happy. It is not the park manager or the witnesses who have done anything wrong, it was you who broke the law.

    International Issue Spouse of American: Neither living in the States

    No, the citizen petitioner does not have to live in the U.S. to file a petition for an alien spouse. You basically have these possibilities: Your wife can file an I-130 petition for you at the U.S. consulate in Canada. Now you can wait in Canada until the processing for the green card is...

    100+ mph in 65, California CHP, Juvenile

    this is a little tricky since you obviously have no witness for the "chase" and by telling this story would admit a whole lot of more offenses. On the other hand there might be a really hefty fine, points and skyrocketing insurance rates if you plead guilty. I guess you should consult an...

    Not wearing seat belt

    Robbie has a point here. In most states the traffic code contains a rule that you have to use the right lane except for passing slower traffic. Now from your description it looks like you were not passing anyone. The officer pulled up to you from the right, that shows that he was potentially...
