Vocabulary word of the day: p-e-r-j-u-r-y. By the way, you should also stop sending money to your friend in Nigeria.

If you believe the threat is credible, you can petition for a restraining order. It is more important to protect yourself and your family than it is to quibble about what the DA is allegedly telling the police. If a judge believes the petition has merit, that there is a credible threat against...

Have you ever heard of "section 8 housing"?

This is not necessarily true. Some people just... steal. Winona Ryder, for example...

Losing your wife's ring is not the problem. Doing things that cause your wife to have reason to call the police is your problem. So stop doing things worth calling the police about. And if you want to stay with your wife (assuming that she doesn't already have a restraining/no contact order)...

That is not true. Read about the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act. https://courts.michigan.gov/Administration/SCAO/Resources/Documents/Publications/pamphlets/focb/PSA29.pdf Get your court order in Michigan. Follow Zig's advice. My ex lives in another state. The enforcement bureau in my...

I think that's the point: the louse was so soused, he couldn't tell a cat from a mouse.

I'm curious. Mom has established residency in Michigan. Why would she start in the ex-husband's state? Why can't she close the Chinese order and start fresh, petitioning for child support in Michigan, where she and the child (a US citizen) have residency, and have Dad served wherever he...

However, if he appears to be voluntarily unemployed (or even underemployed, if voluntary), child support can be based on what he could be making, were he employed, based on his training/work experience.

What your girlfriend should have done: 1) Not opened the door. 2) Called 911 to complain about the crazy person at the door. What you should consider doing: 1) Cease all contact with the "crazy ex". 2) Get a no contact order. Depending on the fact pattern, your current girlfriend may be...

OP stated that the other party's sole injury was a boxer's fracture. A boxer's fracture is, by definition, self inflicted - it's not like OP intentionally used his face to beat his roommate's hand. Additionally, with proper care, long term complications are rare and usually minor. OP can...

Well, thank goodness for that! As an FYI for the future: until your husband adopts your children, his income is not an issue in assessing child support. An imputed income for you (what you could be earning) can be assessed. Thank goodness your children are physically safe from their...

Bully for them. What do they reasonably believe were the quantifiable damages for their inconvenience? Ultimately, everyone went in, including the handicapped person. Were it me, I'd be more likely to have the lawyer write a stern demand letter stating the problem, mentioning the ADA, and...

There's also driving for Fedex. It never hurts, though, to have a plan B. Plumbers can have lucrative careers, for example. Ditto for electricians.

"The best revenge is living well." Your bitterness is poisoning you, and that can potentially blind you to greater opportunities.

Perhaps you should consult a lawyer. If a lawyer thinks you should be able to get a lot more, and is willing to represent you on a contingency basis, it might be worth it. Otherwise, take the $5K. Note: get some vocational training. There are many jobs that are fulfilling; there's more to...

Does it really matter? He owes over $30K in arrears. He's not going to catch up on that any time soon. Moreover, he's in jail for child abuse. Child abuse! Just be glad that children are safe from him, for the moment. People in jail are still obligated to support their children. Given...

Maybe. Whether the past conviction will affect how the current charges are addressed would depend on details best not shared on a public forum. He should discuss this with his lawyer.

Indeed there is! @Michael-Petrucci : Tl;Dr I suggest that you look into therapy... Not massage therapy, but talk therapy. You are in trouble, because you do not understand what are socially appropriate boundaries. You need to learn how to establish personal boundaries and respect personal...
