    Pregnant with troubles...

    I'm not an attorney . . . or a lawyer. Since the phone is yours, all you have to do is stop paying the bill, right? Then there's no harassment because there's no phone. You might want to talk to the company/bank you got the truck loan from and check what they suggest. Can they change the...

    You'll Never Believe this!

    I'm no attorney I'm a retired Caseworker. I concur with Duranie. Family Counseling might help here, too. If there was any type abuse before he left, your d-i-l could contact the local Domestic Abuse Shelter about housing, etc. Are these little children your grandchildren? If so...

    neighbor harrasment of a minor

    I'm no attorney Okay, I'm a retired Caseworker, but not an attorney. My suggestion is to document everything that occurs with this neighbor. My other suggestion will take some courage, but could you consider baking some cookies for you and your husband to take to this guy when his wife is...

    phone calls from an 'unknown'

    I'm no attorney So why can't you change your phone number? Yes, it's a hassle but cheaper than hiring an attorney. It's not as easy as the television programs have you to believe to obtain a list of callers to your cell phone. You know, it could be a child playing with a parent's...

    Domestic/Stalking

    neighbor from hell

    I'm no attorney Firstly, have you talked to this neighbor and explained your concern about the loose animal? Secondly, call the ASPCA or Humane Shelter and explain to them what's going on. In some places, they send out personnel to talk to the animal owner and give him a citation to protect...

    Harassing emails.

    Who's sending the emails? You're getting PETA emails or something similar? Do the emails use the same ISP? You can always configure your email not to accept emails from that ISP unless you also get other emails from the ISP. You could also consider putting a disclaimer at the bottom of...

    Dead Roach On My French Fry Container

    I used to work at a Fast-Food place I don't eat fast food any longer. The cooks where I worked would pick up dropped burgers and sausage and toss it back onto the grill. And the soft-serve machine had an open container inside and all sorts of roaches got in. I got fired when the manager...

    Old Boyfriend

    I'm not an attorney but I've had harassment and stalking from a former boyfriend. The quickest way to end it is to just pay up or give stuff back. And then there's nothing that reminds you of him and he's out of your hair. Document everything you do in case there is harassment after you...

    Help nedd advice

    I'm not an attorney but I am a retired Caseworker. Sounds to me as if you might want to look at some alternatives available in Maryland. Talk to your attorney and talk to a family counselor. Perhaps the family counselor could have some meetings with you and the other parent to help you...

    Mistaken Stupidity.

    I'm not a lawyer But I suggest you obtain some legal counsel and discuss this and hope for a good outcome. Your lack of any prior criminal record will probably be beneficial.
