    Naturalization, Citizenship Dual citizenship canadian/american

    it depends on which military you are in and from which countries your citizenships are. I assume you mean you are serving in the U.S. military. Many countries have a provision, that once you serve voluntarily in the military of another country, you automatically lose the citizenship in their...

    Well, first you only have to do what the subpoena says. If it is only a questionnaire then you fill in the questionnaire. If the attorney thinks he needs you as a witness in court, he will say so. You fill in the questionnaire thruthfully. If you never had such an employee you say so. It is the...

    Advantages of going pro se: You save the money for the attorney Disadvantages: -the courts still demand that you file all the paperwork correctly. The pro-se clerk at the courthouse might or might not be helpful, but you get no slack here: One missed deadline, one missed form, one thing...

    Alcohol & Drugs: MIP, MIC, Intoxication Confinscating False I.D. from bar/nightclub customers

    Unless there is a law in your state stating expressively that you have to, no. I doubt that there is such a law. If there is a law in your state that makes possession of a fraudulent or ficticious DL or ID a crime, and such a law exists in most states, then you probably could. A...

    Claiming health insurance

    No, I think you have a very weak case. 1) The blisters: You might have a case here, the insurance would have to show, that they in fact were caused by the diabetes. I am not a medical expert, but I have heard that diabetes can cause or aggravate this kind of affliction. So even in this point...

    Temporary Custody

    It all depends on your specific state law and your specific situation, so it is not possible to answer things in detail here. But one thing is clear: if she is not cooperating voluntarily it will mean that "her child is being taken away from her" as you say, even if you will end up being the...

    we had this question here just a week ago. The clerk is absolutely right, this is a minor mistake which definitely will not make the ticket unvalid. My advice: pay it.

    Proof or residency

    Hm, I wonder what they need that for. It is not really the CIS (former INS) job to certify that someone lives abroad. This would basically be the job of the British authorities. Can you get something from your city that looks official and certifies that you are living there? Actually, if the...

    German mother, American father

    U.S. court orders for child support are enforceable in Germany, too, due to international treaties both countries have signed. And due to a different way of organizing things there, it is much much more difficult to become a deadbeat dad there, than here.

    Consumer Law, Warranties Non Refundable retainer fees

    To an inexperienced reader it still might sound a little ambigious: What about a cancellation prior to a week before the appointment for which he already had paid the retainer? The way you write it the customer could hope for a reimbursement. Actually, from a customer-friendly business...

    Is This Libel?

    I didn't say it was. I just described the theory. One would have to know the exact circumstances to make an evaluation. You are right, he only has a valid case if he would reasonably be offended or his reputation would be damaged. If the circumstances do not show that this is clear, there would...

    Naturalization, Citizenship help when the citizen spouse refuses to file the petition for ailen spouse

    This is a little confusing. What is missing but important to know is: How was she admitted to the U.S. after they married, on what visa did she gain entry to the U.S.? You say she stayed illegally, but somehow she must have been admitted. And from what I read she now is in Korea again. For...
