There probably is a legal basis for a suit here, it could be interference with contractual relations, but it probably would not be easy to prove this. You basically would have to prove that her intent was to get you kicked out and that because of her action you were in fact kicked out.

grin, the administrative purposes were to bill you. Most probably they have a law that makes you liable for fire department services. Most socialist countries have this, so I would not surprised to see this in Canada. You would have to check if they have a legal basis to bill you, it might even...

I have answered this a couple of times here in the forum. The basic steps are: apply for K-1 or K-3 Visa to enter the country, then apply for permanent residency by AOS and after 3 years he would be eligible for citizenship. More detailed you will find it in one of my many posts to this topic

This is the law: Texas Code of Criminal Procedure 104.002 Commentary: The Texas prisoner payment statute requires a county prisoner who receives medical, dental, or health-related services while in custody to pay for such services when rendered. This statute does not differentiate...

That is exactlty one of the reasons why people are better off having an attorney handle their affairs. The law says that each spouse has certain rights to all assets including pension funds etc., but the actual formula how this is established, the evaluation of assets, the assignments of funds...

this is tricky. You surely can ask him. But if he refuses you would have to bring legal action which would be time and nerve consuming, possibly expensive and the outcome would not be guaranteed. Or in shorter words: I doubt it. So I would try to negotiate it with him, showing that this...

I pretty much agree with lost, this sounds so fishy that I would not be too afraid of being taken to court. I woud rather watch my house for the next couple of days...

It depends on the state where the people file for divorce and where they live. Some states have a clear "community property" system, which basically leads to a 50-50 distribution of assets, others have slightly different systems, but also strive to come to an equitable 50-50 solution. In some...

Who knows? She could be stopped for a traffic violation right the first day and be arrested when the cop runs her license in the computer. She could also be able to live and work there for years until the same thing happens. Nobody knows. But the point is, does she want to live in eternal fear...

There is no legal issue here. You are not the employer, so it is not up to you to decide if someone will be fired or not. If the employer choses to ignore your judgment as a supervisor it is his right to do so.

Well, so far I don't really see any major problems in what happened. Under tort law you had a duty to exercise reasonable care in keeping your dog from doing harm, you failed to exercise that care, the dog got lose, and caused damage. You have never denied that. You might have contested this...

I don't even know where to start here. First of all, in every state a sales contract for real estate must be in writing. If it is not, it is often unenforceable, that means both sides can just walk away from the deal. Have you looked if these people have title to sell the building? Have you...

That depends on a couple of details: -did the seller know that it had been in an accident? -did he deliberately say it had not been, to induce buyer's reliance and the sale? -is there a written contract with any disclaimers or warranties? -were any warranties orally given in absence of a...

Normally a court needs in personam jurisdiction over the defendant. That means, it needs the power to force a defendant to show up, and that power normally ends at the state border. However, many states have broadened their jurisdiction with some legal constructions, such as claiming...

that sounds like a very good idea. A legal cause of action against the neighbors could be nuisance which is the infringement of the right to enjoy one's property. Depending on the circumstances there also might be a case for negligence or even for strict liaility because of keeping a...

since the American authorities are not involved in this, you start by getting info from the Canadian authorities. You should look at the website of Immigration Canada, they have pretty good info, and then contact the Canadian consulate for the proceedings.

It depends on the details, but from what you write the answer is probably yes. You were stopped for speeding, that is a valid reason to stop a car. Now there come several different theories that might be applicable and that all lead to the same result: He could have performed a Terry...

if you are subpoeaned you have to attend. I would not risk a contempt of court citation for something like that. It depends on the court what sanction they will give, it can be from a fine up to jail.

Practical first step: Make sure your fence is in order so that the dog cannot come into your yard. That is the most important thing you should do in respect to your children. If necessary replace or reinforce the fence. The safety of your kids should be paramount. Then I would lean on your...

Yes, you would most probably have to sue him in Texas, you have to sue where a court has jurisdiction over a person, and with private citizens that is in most cases only where they live. You cannot have someone else file a claim for you unless that someone is an attorney. Normally, if there...
