I was just at a family gathering for New Years with family from Ohio ( I live in Michigan) and we got into a conversation about underage drinking. The family member from Ohio stated that there was a law that said that as long as the parent physically hands the alcohol to minors then it is legal. Everyone from Michigan thought that was outrageous and he was wrong.
I've searched for it and the only thing I can find that has anything on that is in reference to Drug Free Alliance. This program appears to only be located in Ohio. We argued for about 20 minutes on this so I just wanted to know if anyone knew anything more about the Drug Free Alliance or if there was a law or anything?

I got an abortion a few days ago. My exboyfriend's parents want to give me a pregnancy test and take me to the doctors to confirm it. I just want to forget about this whole thing and formally asked them to respect my privacy. They keep contacting me and threatening me that they're going to have to police involved. I never asked anything from them. I never asked for money or anything. Can the police do anything? Can they make me take a pregnancy test even if I don't want to?

Ther is no definition for the age 21 in the constitution.There is no such thing as the young people, or the older people. It is not morale or productive to blur the line. When will we as Americans who crave a fair and just democracy understand that there is no groups within the people because the people, 18 to 100, must be one. We can never allow the people to be seperated into characteristics. Manipulating the definition of the people threatens democracy because people will forget to at some point where to draw the line for the sake of preventing oppression. Blacks commit crimes, put them in jail beforehand, Women can't take care of money, take away their credit cards, younger people drink and drive, take away their rights.When you turn a man or women into a stat, you forget that under the law they are men and women just like yourself. We commit crime, we mismanage money, we drink and drive. A society where a man can be punished in anticipation of a crime is neither fair nor just.

My mother is bipolar and sadly had psychotic breaks in the past.
She once locked me in a cellar, threatened to kill my grandparents if i left and year later tried to kill me in fit of rage. I didnt press charges. ran away from home and my grandparents gave me some financial assistance over last decade since i left home.
I moved home to help care for dying grandmother this year. She left a small trust naming my mother and myself as beneficiaries......it is set up at sole discretion of lawyer/trustee to dispense monies. my grandmother wanted me to have funds available if i needed help with bills.
well i do right now after losing my job suddenly.
the lawyer is ignoring my request.....i try to speak to my poor insane mother....she has told me the lawyer wrote her he is no longer in charge of her trust.he also failed ot pay her re taxes when he was still in charge. WTF ? could he dissolve it without telling me ?
Im trying to find good estate lawyer, but am wondering wildly about this.......

If you have never been arrested, own property, can you sign your on bond? This would be Federal Charges. If not, what options do you have.

I don't know what I was thinking. I' m a permanently disabled senior citizen. New Year's Eve I wanted to look nice, but didn't have any money. I took a total of $11.97 in merchandise. Nail files and two hair pins. First, the guard was a bit on the physical side; I apologized, offered to pay for items and, although it was my first time, she had me fill out paperwork. She neglected to include the fact that I was remorseful and offered to pay for the items.

What can I do about the fact that the paperwork wasn't correctly filled out (she kept telling me what it said and told me to just sign it).

Also, what will happen now? Is it always a fine, in spite of the preceding?

Thanks.

...I'm about to file for divorce from my husband who has assaulted me twice & broke the protective order. He has accused me several times of cheating, and says that he will bring it up in the divorce; since he has no proof(cause I haven't), since we have no kids together or property to divide (only married 3 months), should I hire a lawyer anyway since he's making threats but has no grounds or proof of them and since there's nothing to take away from me, such as kids, house, car (it was all mine before we were married)? I'm thinking & attempting to do the divorce myself. I've done it before and know how.

2&1/2 years ago, my husband and I lived in a trailer for 6 months while our new home was being built. We did everything that you are supposed to do when moving out, but to be honest I don't remember the details since it was so long ago. We heard nothing from the rental agency so we assumed everything was fine.

Yesterday we received a bill from the rental agency for $1400 stating that it was now in collections. I have been trying to contact both the collection AND the rental agency, but no answer from either one of them (could be because of the holidays).

What I really don't understand is that my husband and I used our cells during that period instead of having a house-phone. To this day, we still have the same cell #s. We filled out a change-of-address form with the post office, but even if the agency couldn't reach us that way, they could have called and we would have taken care of whatever the problem was.

Can't I just pay what I originally owed since we weren't contacted?
