    Unpaid medical bill sent to collection

    Because at some time the holder of those assets will likely need to cash in those assets, and once they liquidate the retirement investment and park it in a bank account or buy some non exempt asset, it would be fair game for the creditor to attach. Of course actually doing that is not simple...

    Premises Liability Child falling on personal property with negligent mother watching

    That depends on exactly what aspects of the property existed at the time that the owner knew or should have known may be a danger to others and whether the owner took reasonble steps to avoid that danger or sufficiently warn others of the danger. It's possible that both the owner and the mother...

    Personal Bankruptcy U.S. trustee hired a trial lawyer

    It's impossible to know. Court filings are only a small part of what goes on in litigation. They are important parts of the litigation, of course, but there is a lot to do behind the scenes to prepare each filing and prepare for each hearing or trial. At this stage the lawyer will be gathering...

    Do Capital Gains follow fund shares in an in-kind transfer?

    And the more gain you'll have per share sold, too. The two go together. After all, one share worth $100 and ten shares that are each worth $10 will both get you $100 when you sell them (ignoring any fees). Thus selling when high you do preserve more shares, but also you get hit with more capital...

    Darwin Award Candidate

    Not to the cats scheming to take over the world!

    Darwin Award Candidate

    Then maybe a former girlfriend's cat who liked to sleep on my face was field testing possible ways to do that. :D

    Darwin Award Candidate

    When I was much younger I didn't understand why older folks made those kinds of comments. Today, I do. There are some things that teens in particular do today that just make no sense. If I was a teen it'd likely make total sense, but I'm not so I'm left mystified.

    Darwin Award Candidate

    They are cute. But as everyone knows, when cats get together in groups like that they are discussing their secret plans to take over the world. Or what's going to be dinner tonight. It can go either way.

    Darwin Award Candidate

    The part of the video with the dancing white cat was pretty funny. The main video of the woman feeding a clowder of cats (of cats, only lion groups are called prides) as though she was feeding chickens was a bit disturbing. Everyone around me is telling me I need to get a cat for company. But...

    Warrants?

    Courts will typically seal search warrants in situations in which the investigation is still active so as not to interfere with the investigation. Obviously, they wouldn't want the suspects to know of the warrant as that may cut off the tapped lines as a source of information for the cops and...

    Does the First Amendment apply to social media moderation? The Supreme Court soon decides.

    If the Supreme Court follows its long standing precedent on the First Amendment Texas and other states with similar laws will be out of luck. It is not the legislature's place to decide what content is hosted on a privately owned forum.

    Here is my demand letter to Amazon, but also I want to sue for their policy.

    Any time you are buying from an unknown third party seller on Amazon you take the risk that the goods may be counterfeit, not as describle, nonfunctional, etc. Amazon does not screen each seller on its market place for their business practices. If the seller gets a lot of complaints, it'll boot...

    Being sued in oregon

    If you are representing yourself, take a morning or afternoon some day before your hearing to sit in the courtroom to see how the cases are handled and familiarize yourself with the courtroom. That should help you get a feel for what to do and relieve some anxiety about what the experience will...

    Warrants?

    A judge would be a fool to issue warrants that don't meet the legal requirements for it, and and experienced cop should know better to submit a false request for one because those are all records of the court and the warrant would likely also be a record of the ISP and cell provider too. After...

    Here is my demand letter to Amazon, but also I want to sue for their policy.

    That's one of the reasons why which state's law applies matters. Decisions by a CA court aren't binding on other state courts unless that state court is ruling on a matter of CA law.

    Divorce and keeping home

    She likely can assume title and keep the current loan. Divorce is one of the situations covered in the federal Garmin-St. Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982 (12 U.S. Code § 1701j–3). This law prohibits the lender from enforcing a due on sale/transfer law in several common situations...

    Naturalization, Citizenship Tax Question for Naturalization. N400

    If you had no taxable gross income then you have no federal income tax filing requirement. Since you have a green card, you are treated as resident in the U.S. for federal income tax purposes, which means that the rule that applies is that you are generally not required to file a federal income...

    Is eBay eller committing price gouging?

    Yep, one way or the other you are going to pay for the shipping. I've bought a number of items from both Amazon and eBay over the years, but avoid the third party sellers on Amazon and the foreign sellers on eBay. I've only had one problem on Amazon in over two decades, and one call to Amazon...

    Starting a Business Can I set up my own gambling business?

    Although gambling is legal in much of the state, it is a very regulated business. I'd suggest you consult an attorney familiar with the state gaming law to lay out exactly what you intend to and what state and local laws would require for you to do it.

    Survey Says, Texas DPS State Trooper Uniform Voted 'Sexiest' in the U.S.A.

    It would have to be the hats that make the biggest difference. Apart from that, IMO their uniforms are not all that different from what I see many sheriffs' deputies wear. I suspect that may have been intended, to leverage off the image and reputation of Texas sheriffs. The Colorado State...
