    Installing a Fence

    If it is indeed on your property, you may remove it. But in lieu of throwing it away, why not toss it onto your neighbor's property where it belongs?

    Criminal Law Need help in determining if there's anything illegal in this.

    Shem, You are thinking too much into this. You need to get your mind off the Mike situation and back to your marriage. Report the incident to the police and then forget it. It is obvious that your wife waivered from you and your marriage. Even if it was brief and/or innocent, she...

    Criminal Law Need help in determining if there's anything illegal in this.

    Even to my untrained ear, this sounds like a big warning sign! Do as AJ says, report it all to the police and get counseling regardless of what your wife says. Let the police worry about Mike, and you worry about your wife.

    Credit Card deferred interest charges due to conflicting due dates

    When did you make the original purchase? I surmise that you made this purchase sometime in June. Thus the promotion would have expired 1 year from the purchase date in June. That would make the payment due date August 4th. This would explain the two dates you have been given as due dates...

    Personnel File Marked Not Rehirable

    That would have been nice of the employer, unfortunately there is no law that holds employers accountable for being nice.

    damaged property

    To be even more clear... If you had bought your telescope three years ago for $1,500, it may today have a fair market value of only $600. Thus that is all the camera shop is responsible for. By chance does the camera shop sell telescopes? If they do, or possibly can get, see if they will...

    Small Claim against Homeowners Association

    A homeowner's Association is indeed an entity. It is a corporation. File the claim using the registered agent as the address. You can find the registered agent by searching the Division of Corporations website for your state. In Florida it is sunbiz.org. Search for your HOA and then look...

    Problem employee

    No this is not harassment. I am surprised you only want to demote him. I personally would terminate his employment. If he has already been spoken to on many occasions and he continues to do so, then why on earth allow him to continue employment? Next time he may indeed do something that...

    Son threatening to sell daughter's car!!

    If the car is titled in your son's name, there is nothing legally you can do. This is indeed an unfortunate mess. Hopefully your son may realize that family is worth more than riches.

    Foreigner and forming a business

    Should you wish to not listen to Army's superior advise, your next best option is to consult with a US tax accountant/attorney. Much more detail would be required to give you the best advise. I can tell you that a S corporation would not be an available option. Nonresident aliens may not be...

    Car/Bicycle Accident in Crosswalk

    In Florida it is illegal to block an intersection. Many people glide through an intersection only to get stuck halfway through because of a backup. Wouldn't it be in the OP's best interest to file a police report after-the-fact? If the bicylist does so first, then I would think this could...

    Second Degree burn from hot coffee

    JP6044, Your response to the situation was perfect. It is a shame that more people don't handle similar situations like this. So many go off on a civil suit tangent!! Hopefully BK will respond properly and perhaps you will get an apology and coupons for free whoppers. :D

    Was fired from Michaels.. advice please.

    Tennessee is known as an "EMPLOYMENT-AT-WILL" state. Generally, this means that an employer may legally hire, fire, suspend or discipline any employee at any time and for any reason - good or bad - or for no reason at all. However, an employer may not discriminate against any employee on the...

    Damage to Motorhome at RV Park

    The mower has already denied knowledge. The best you can do is present your evidence to the mowing company and hope that they do the right thing. Be cordial yet firm. If they don't concede, then followup with a Demand Letter which details what occured, what you expect as a solution, a...

    Such an easy question to answer!! You locate $400 by emptying your bank account and/or borrowing from a friend or relative. You return to the salon and pay the bill. Get a receipt. Do this BEFORE they find you. Do Not mention about having received a phonecall from a detective...

    Corporate Law HS reunion: do we need to create a legal entity?

    If you feel comfortable doing so, the easiest would be to treat this as a sole proprietorship and report the business on your personal 1040. Provide a DBA name to the bank with your SS#. Just be sure to spend all you receive and keep records of all transactions. You might even want to keep...

    Mobbing in the Workplace

    Mobbed, May I suggest you consult with a local attorney to do the research for you? You may find that your research is fruitless due to not having merit. For instance: Here are my concerns regarding your "specifics". 1. Nothing unusual with that. 2. Nothing unusal or illegal about...

    Mobbing in the Workplace

    I briefed that article because I too was unfamiliar with the terminology "mobbing in the workplace". My own opinion is that most employees placed in similar conditions decide to find employment elsewhere. Only when they stay would things escalate to the "mobbing effect". The specifics...

    Custom unit - Not receive it

    There is nothing in your post that says the vendor GUARANTEED delivery of your custom cart by a certain date. Thus they cannot be held liable for anything relating to late delivery. The tardiness of the delivery could very well be due to something not under the control of the vendor. A part...

    off the books money

    I had missed the fact that this was disability SS. Did your sister just begin SSD recently? There is a trial period of nine months, not necessarily consecutive, in which the person may work without losing their SSD. After that period, the limit you speak of is presently $1,000 per month...
