I'll add this. If you worked for a private employer then your termination is only wrongful (and thus illegal) if the reason for your termination was because: of your race, color, religion, sex (including sexual orientation, gender identity, etc) national origin, citizenship, age, disability, or...

Ok, I'm a bit confused about your facts. You said that you were terminated from a "human resources role in the federal government" but then refer to the manager saying you were fired "because I lost the business a lot of money". That latter statement, and several other statements you made...

That's why I included the term "restricted by contract." If the lease contract prohibits what the tenant is doing then it doesn't matter if there isn't any law prohibiting it. But being in breach of contract is not a crime and thus not "illegal". That's what my last line of my prior response was...

But that's the problem, isn't it? You assume what others say about the guy, even the anonymous posts (which apparently are the majority of the original posts) and if any others in that group see him, they'll treat him as though those statements were true. But, especially with anonymous posts...

But unless you are in the OP's city/county that experience won't necessarily match what the OP's state and locality require. That was the point of explaining the IRS rule. Every jurisdiction has its own rules for this stuff, and there is no substitute for looking at the actual law or regulation...

If there is any limit it is likely to be found in your city or county ordinances. If your county/city might have those online you can look at the ordinances to see if any of them apply. Or they may have a set of them available at a city or county office where you can look through them. Apart...

The creditor typically must first initiate the action to stop the wage garnishment. Until it does that, the employer may well be obligated to keep deducting the garnishment amount as the garnishment requires. For example, while IRS wage levies will state a total amount due as of a certain date...

For federal income tax purposes, the $100 is your gross income from self-employment and the fee is a deduction from that. I suspect that SSA uses the same approach. But either way your net income from self-employment is what SSA really cares about. You can read about how SSA does that in federal...

Some mortgage lenders won't go for an arrangement where the down payment is funded by some other debt. Doing that does increases the credit risk of the borrower over a simple cash downpayment because there is now a new debt that must be paid along with the mortgage. The other common...

Very few states have a gift tax. You can probably count them on one hand. Many states in the last decade have repealed their estate tax because the federal government took away the state death tax credit for the federal estate return that effectively resulted in the federal government paying...

Perhaps it's because I'm a skeptical person by nature, but I see the potential for abuse in these kinds of groups.

There are a lot of important facts to know before writing up a partnership agreement (or whatever the foundational document is for the type of business organization through which you will operate this business). In what country will the business be organized and what kind of business entity will...

I think you need a contract attorney to read the exact language of the contract and tell you how the state appellate courts ruled on similar cases (if indeed they have one come before the court). The problem I see with what you presented here is that there is potential ambiguity in the contract...

It may matter more than you think. If you don't do a good job with completing the gift tax return with the right information that can screw you later even though right now you think you'll never have to worry about actually paying federal gift and estate taxes. Consider, for example, that you...

If you think that then you'd be surprised what some people with money do. You may be giving the person too much credit for being prudent with the wealth he/she has. Just because a person has a lot of money doesn't mean they know squat about what to do with it or how to handle it. Especially if...

Your plan to give $18,000 to person A with the understanding that person A will then give it to Person B doesn't work. The tax law treats that as though you made a direct gift of $18,000 to Person B with the result that you will have made a total of $36,000 of gifts to Person B if all those...

The federal government only redacts from discovery those things that the law or the court requires. It does not blank out everything in a document unless the entire document is classified or privileged. The government won't even bother to submit an entirely redacted document as its own evidence...

That's a good idea, but most of those systems I've see show mostly what is ahead or behind the car and would not show someone standing on the side banging on it.

You can't force them to disband. But there are things you can do to get them to back off. If they are doing this stuff on private property have the property owner tell them to get off the property, that they are barred from returning, if they do they'll be cited for trespass. Things like...
