Now I don't know what the facts are and it seemed that both were living in New Jersey. What I'm guessing happened is that she visited the US and that he has resided in New Jersey for a year or more. And while the wife is in New Jersey, he serves her personally with divorce papers and then she...

This is true and I should have clarified about state requirements, such as in New Jersey there is a one year residency requirement, etc. But in theory if everything aligns, it would be possible to file for divorce in New Jersey even though the marriage ceremony took place out of state. That is...

From what I know, if both husband and wife are living in the U.S. and the issue is whether one party can get divorced in the U.S. for a marriage that was created in India then the answer is yes. As long as the marriage was valid and recognized in India, courts in the U.S. should recognize the...

I can completely appreciate your frustration. But do you want a law school answer or a real world answer? Other than the man-hater pin, has this female co-worker done anything else to actually harass you? Her chatter about her periods and sexual partners doesn't seem to constitute harassment of...

Sorry to hear about your situation. Keep in mind that people may threaten all types of legal action when they feel it important to get their way. That doesn't mean they will do it, just scare tactics. It's not limited to domestic issues such as divorce and family law but also civil law, where...

I remember similar issues arising back when I was in law school many years ago and has crossover with live sports statistics and data feeds for pagers (back before the World Wide Web existed and became ubiquitous.) The earliest related decision was actually almost 100 years ago ( International...

If your friend went to India where the marriage ceremony was performed, recognized and filed then I fail to see why filing for divorce there is an issue and what U.S. law has to do with this matter.

He can certainly try a U.K. law forum but I'm guessing the answer will be the same. From a practical standpoint, cost is high and chances of success are low pursuing a lawsuit against a forum owner to compel access to the forum. This issue presented does not have any clear legal lines of...

Attorneys are almost certainly not lining up to take this case because so much time has passed since the incident and sadly (my condolences), the injured party isn't around to testify as to exactly what happened. The case you describe is highly fact specific. Unless there is video that clearly...

Many people are under the impression that since they participate a great deal and/or voluntarily contribute to a private enterprise they are entitled to something for their patronage. Let's use a tangible real world example. You frequent a bar, tip the bartenders well, bring in customers and...

But in this case there is full performance under the agreement and even partial performance acts as an exception to the statute of frauds up to the amount performed. Perhaps I should have made this clear as this would be an enforceable oral agreement as it has been fully performed by the lessor.

Agreed - assuming that such would fall under the statute of frauds and be unenforceable. Unless I read too quickly, I think the month to month agreement should be enforceable.

Congratulations on the birth of your new born. Your child's health is obviously of paramount importance and thankfully that is not in issue. Unfortunately there is no easy answer and question the amount of time and pain you're willing to endure. If you can get a substantial discount on this...

You're missing a critical step. The emails were publicized by another party. They have become public knowledge. If the Donald Trump campaign obtained Hillary Clinton's emails illegally there would be a question about using those emails that were obtained illegally. It's the same as the Clinton...

Just to add to @adjusterjack 's great post, if he won't get his stuff and you have proof, that may be considered abandonment. Make sure you've provided him with notice about the timing. If so, I doubt your ex will have any credibility in the very unlikely case he tries to take you to court. The...

More important than a printer and pen is a larger security deposit. Because if you don't have the money, all of this will likely be about a painful cost chasing someone to recoup it.

You have a legal agreement. It is called an "oral agreement" and it is just as enforceable as a written agreement. You appear to have a month to month lease. The legal reason you have to evict him is called "nonpayment of rent" or "holdover" - the former is for not paying rent and the latter is...

Many social media sites have legal terms of use that may prohibit posting photographs that include children. And if they do, there must be consent by a parent. But I don't think this is the case. The father seems concerned that the mother of his child is putting out "party photos" of herself...

He's wondering whether the store is liable if the only goods they provide of a certain type are placed on the high shelf. Without more, this seems to be the usual hope of finding liability where common sense and the "do unto others" rule would be easily applied.

Most of the time when I hear that a tenant wants out of a lease they usually greatly over-exaggerate the issues they claim. You do have quite a long laundry list of issues which you claim have not been fixed. If all of these have been documented and the issues are as bad as you say, it's...
