    Other Green Card Issue Please help regarding Green Card renewal

    Felony fraud is not a good thing. With that said, if he wasn't placed in deportation proceedings and the court was aware of his immigrant status, he may be okay. I strongly encourage him to get an attorney who specializes in CIMT (crimes involving moral turpitude) as soon as possible.

    Other Green Card Issue Please help regarding Green Card renewal

    Many - but not all - felonies result in revocation. Things have changed though, and it does depend (somewhat) on exactly what the felony was. The biometrics part has changed even since 2003. So..if you can share, what is the nature of the crime?

    truth is a defense against libel -- but what exactly has to be true?

    There is that, too :D Defamation cases = dirty laundry ALL OVER the place, accessible to anyone who'd like to know.

    truth is a defense against libel -- but what exactly has to be true?

    They're actually notoriously difficult for a regular person to litigate. And expensive. Think years (time-wise) and many tens of thousands (cost-wise). This is also why the majority of successful suits involve (ironically*) celebrities or other well-known figures, where a decent...

    truth is a defense against libel -- but what exactly has to be true?

    Given that you're not understanding the issue at all, I shall gracefully bow out of the discussion

    Our divorce says we claim every. Other yr , he's claimmed every,

    Yes, you're going to need to go back to court. Because he's the custodial parent, and provides the majority of support, in the eyes of the IRS, only he can legally claim them unless he signs a special form (form 8332, available here...

    Step Father Rights vs. Biological Father Rights

    No disagreement here, either. In fact - and I don't actually say this much online because it has absolutely no bearing on the legal reality - I'm a huge proponent of "it takes a village". We've become so embroiled in our own rights and self-importance that sometimes I cannot help but...

    Step Father Rights vs. Biological Father Rights

    There's no fog. Godparent is a religious designation - it has nothing to do with legalities. (I gave up being Godparent to my multitude of nieces and nephews when the numbers started to rise astronomically ;) )

    Discrimination in Hiring Process

    And not to put too fine a point on it, perhaps your interview style needs a brush-up? You mention too that you did get an offer but you declined. I'm sorry, but if it were me I wouldn't hire you and it would have nothing to do with your disability.

    truth is a defense against libel -- but what exactly has to be true?

    My thoughts are that you should be doing your own homework. :cool: But that aside, you're missing the difference between a statement of fact and an allegation (or report of same). Example: Alice reported that there had been an allegation against Bob concerning Flapjacks. Alice stated that...

    Can my husband force or throw me to get out

    If you're both lease holders, he can't evict you. However, the landlord can. If he changes the locks, or anything of that nature, you do have legal recourse.

    Step Father Rights vs. Biological Father Rights

    I'm still having trouble with the godparent idea. May I explain further? The godparents have as many rights to these children as every one who has answered the post. None. Zero. The child is currently with his legal father - as far as Dad is concerned, two people just turned up and...

    Step Father Rights vs. Biological Father Rights

    The godparents have no rights whatsoever, ever, at all. Even if. Now, dad may have signed over custody, but he didn't terminate his parental rights. That means that if he decides to keep the boy, your wife is going to have go back to court. A notarized letter is worth nothing, and...

    Sign your rights over

    You can't, sorry. He can't sign over his rights. If he cannot look after them, and Mom can't, the state will step in again. If that happens, there are options. They will sometimes try to find a relative, and that's where you can step in. If they prefer not to though, they...

    Other Criminal Charges & Offenses Elderly Neglect

    It's possible, yes, but much would depend on the circumstances. These are obviously serious crimes, and the state will generally do whatever they feel is necessary to bring those responsible to justice. She really needs an attorney, to discuss the possibilities. While double...

    Yes, the provider can win. Will she? Can't predict it unfortunately. Ultimately though, the daycare DID provide a service.

    Decline reimbursement on Business Travel: air ticket

    I don't recommend that at all. The company has done absolutely nothing wrong - disputing the charge is probably the fastest way for OP to labeled a "problem" and suddenly finding himself not employed there at all.

    truth is a defense against libel -- but what exactly has to be true?

    If it's defamation per se (which would generally be the case here), actual damages are not required before a suit can go ahead.
