    Personal Bankruptcy Partner(exspouse) declares Bandruptcy

    Unfortunately, the crucial step in this process has already passed--the agreement that they made regarding how much he owed and how much of a stake she had in the company's assets. It sounds like he bought her out for some sum of money that he was to pay in regular installments. His personal...

    Copyright Infringement

    Contact the vendor and ask them. Most likely it is technically illegal but it seems rather ridiculous of you actually paid for the software at some point. But, like movies, I think it is illegal to make copies of the discs, even if they are for your own use. Like I said--ridiculous.

    What is a judgement?

    A judgment is the court saying that you actually owe 8,000$. The landlord would have to show that you owe some amount of money, but do not hesitate to show up to court, or you may end up owing whatever the landlord says you owe. You will eventually get a summons to appear in court. Do not ignore...

    Wage Garnishment of MD Judgment in MA??

    I don't think it matters if the employer is located in another state, but I'm not sure.

    Renting House in GA -Use of Pool

    I think that you are within your rights to do that, but a diplomatic solution would probably be more effective. It sounds like the neighbors may have formed an opinion about you that is disadvantageous to your tenancy. Apologize, take care of your lawn, make the place look nice, and promise to...

    Arrest, Search, Seizure, Warrant I will be wrongly arrested .

    Make a copy of your passport and visas and give these copies to someone. If you are not arrested when you arrive at the airport, turn yourself in. When you are questioned, simply show the authorities your documents and give names and contact information of people that can verify you were not at...

    security deposit not enough?

    You should check with your state's laws regarding what is acceptable. For example, in some states the tenant is not required to pay for normal wear and tear. This would include carpet replacement and painting, unless you have actually damaged something. There is generally a consumer protection...

    Landlord won't return security deposit

    You should have a copy of all checks, that way you can show what is deposit and what is rent. I would wait until the end of the month and then contact the landlord and say you have not yet received your deposit.

    Backbilled $3,000.00 Dollars

    If you refuse to pay the bill your credit will be adversely affected, and you will not be able to get service. I suggest contacting your state consumer agency and explaining the situation. Common sense says that unless you intentionally mislead the company then you should not be held...

    Fraud, Embezzlement, Bad Checks check fraud.

    How is your son? First, who is stating they are going to take criminal action? The bank, or the surgeon? Writing a bad check on purpose is bad, but it is not really "check fraud" in the same way that, say, forging checks, or counterfeiting checks is. Given your situation I doubt you would be...

    Your description of the situation is vague. Provide exact details of how events unfolded, including how your friend knows the assailant.

    Can landlord keep security deposit without a signed lease?

    It sounds like a classic case of a landlord taking advantage of someone after they have gotten her money. Good luck getting your money back. I would suggest contacting the consumer protection agency or whatever state agency that handles tenancy-landlord disputes.

    Can landlord keep security deposit without a signed lease?

    It sounds like you both acted in good faith. You had some kind of agreement to rent and then decided you were not interested. This process took a month's time. Understandably, the landlord is upset that he is out a month's rent. Legally, I would say that he is not entitled to the compensation...

    Landlord in foreigh country

    It appears that your landlord did not act in good faith when making the agreement with you. Did you sign a lease? What role did the realtor play in securing the agreement? The landlord is obliged to return your deposit and any funds since she did not act in good faith. The fact that the...

    Virtual Worlds and Minors

    It is illegal if it contravenes law. There doesn't have to be a precedent for something to be illegal. Precedence implies direction for judgment, but doesn't entail a judgment either way. In the scenario you describe, an adult engages in lewd conduct with a minor. Occurring on the internet is...

    Arraignment, Bail, Bonds, Pretrial Representing Oneself in Criminal Court

    Even if you were a lawyer, the judge would not allow you to represent your husband. I would say consult with a lawyer and use public defense if you cannot afford to retain a lawyer.

    I am not a lawyer. It certainly is illegal but it would be hard to prove intent.

    Being harassed and asked to quit because of illness.

    I think you should focus on future employment. Find people who can verify your skills that you are in good standing with that will serve as references. Take the twenty hours, but only do as much work as you would normally do. Express to them that you do not have enough time to perform your...
