Yes (and, in regard to response #2, the sanctions would be court-imposed, and the defendant would have nothing to do with it). Possibly. However, it's unlikely - particularly because various court rulings over the last couple decades have made it almost impossible to prosecute a malicious...

As phrased, the only possible answer to this question is yes, but it's not a very useful question. The debtor's estate is liable for the debt. Whether the debtor's spouse is liable depends on facts you didn't include. The spouse isn't liable solely by virtue of being married to the debtor...

It depends on the cause of action, which would likely be malicious prosecution, abuse of process and/or defamation, all of which are subject to the two-year statute in Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1.

Yes. "In order to prevail in a malicious prosecution action, a plaintiff must establish that: (1) an original criminal or civil judicial proceeding against the present plaintiff was commenced or continued; (2) the present defendant was the legal cause of the original proceeding against the...

At a bare minimum, you father can made a widower's election/elect against the will and receive a share of your stepmother's estate. At the very least, he should seek a consultation with an attorney. He should be able to get a free consultation, and he can then make an informed decision about...

I would imagine that googling these words (except that, as one of the prior responses pointed out, the correct word is "creditor," not "debtor") would lead you in the right discretion. That said, money spent for medical treatment for a spouse isn't a debt that can be recovered from the deceased...

Just FYI, "etc." doesn't tell us anything in this context. Who was this "official"? What agency? How did he/she have any knowledge of your parents' (in)ability to care for themselves? Presumably, it wasn't just an FYI call, right? What did this person say was going to happen as a result of...

None whatsoever, and my inclination is to email her and say that I can't help because I don't have any knowledge of their relationship at any relevant time. That said, I'm a bit curious if she's even on the right track with this.

Hey all...might be the first time I've started a thread. My brother was a veteran of the Navy, and he died in October 2023. He and I were not close and he was not particularly close with the immediate family for the last 25 years or so. He got married in the mid-'90s, and his wife got him to...

Huh? Huh? You're free to try and fight the ticket if you want. There's no way to discern from your post what your chances of success are.

Her husband? So...she's married? Or did you mean ex-husband? What does "keeps dragging her to court" mean?* What does "he wants the kids" mean? Wants physical custody? More visitation? Something else? * - I'm contemplating an answer along the following lines: "Over the past [period of...

I'm not sure I completely follow what you're asking. I'm unaware of any types of checks other than regular checks and cashier's checks. The owner or other authorized user of a checking account can write a check at any time. The writing of the check will have no impact on the account's balance...

I have no idea. Do you have a legal question for us?

Before I answer your question, I have one for you: What do you think "uncontested divorce" means? FYI, your "fiance" (or, if you prefer, "fiancé) is the man you intend to marry. A woman you intend to marry is a "fiancée." Also, when you refer to "her ex," I assume you mean her husband...

Where did you read this? What are the documents? Perhaps the answers to my questions will hit at other options, but if you can't convince the doctor to give you the documents, your only other option will be to sue, and there's no way to opine intelligently about your likelihood of success...

If your contract was with an LLC, what do you mean that you're suing "him"? If you meant that you are suing the owner of the LLC, did you also sue the LLC? None of this information, without a lot more, would be useful in an effort to sue the LLC's owner under an alter ego theory. Single...

"So the property we were renting without a written lease agreement just a verbal agreement got sold to somebody we knew and that person had told us that we could continue renting from them that way we didn't have to move because we had a baby and a lot of stuff to move with no vehicle and...

What EXACTLY does it say? Also, your family member may want to consider whether he/she wants to remain in a building where the landlord neglects basic maintenance issues.

This question makes zero sense. First, the officer did testify, so it is obvious that he could do so. Second, "proof" is nothing more than a quantum of evidence that persuades someone (in this case a judge) that something is or isn't true. Third, testimony is evidence. I'm guessing what you...

Why "allegedly"? What significance is the recommendation of probable cause? What do you expect to happen? When did this happen? What about your phone calls? What about a visit or visits to his/her office? Please also answer the extremely important questions that "adjusterjack" asked...
