my ex (who has been to prison twice) is trying to get 50% custody of my daughter. he never paid attention to her while we were together, but has now taken an interest in her. he has never even supported her! during the relationship, i tried to get out. he was manipulative, and had even made threats to beat me if i cheated on him. (he also made threats to kill some friends of mine) i have made it known, to the court, that he had been emotionally abusive to me. I had no idea that emotional abuse was considered domestic violence. It turns out that one of his old girlfriends wrote a declaration stating that he had hit her while she was pregnant and that she did not want him around her and her unborn child. there are also other violent crimes, in his record, against women. i want to know if the judge, at our next hearing, is likely to give this man supervised visits with my daughter. i don't think they should be unsupervised

If I were to take a stranger's picture, and the stranger were to approach me and ask me to tear up or delete the photo, do I have a legal right to refuse? Does the other person have the legal right to force me to get rid of the photo? This is assuming the photo is clean (non-nude), of course.

(Irish law) I wanted to sue someone for setting up a message board [visible to the public] ridiculing me for having mental health problems. I've been old that unless they have libelled me I can't sue them just because I'm upset about it, and that if I am upset I should tell the board administrator ...
And how will that help, exactly?
I've complained to the website people who told the BA that I'd complained and she told the members of the board and subjected me to more ridicule ...
Has anyone in Ireland every sued someone else for emotional distress??

Why is it that our American legal system contadicts itself in many areas, but so many people believe the "system" works?
Examples:
1) It is illegal to commit murder, but states can justify sending someone to death row.
2) We are protected against "cruel and unusual" punishment, but a convicted felon will ALWAYS be turned away for jobs, Apartments, etc. even after they have paid their dues to society.
3) In divorce and child custody proceedings, the courts claim to seek what is in the best interest of the child. 95% of all child custody cases are in favor of the mothers. How can this system be balanced when the odds are so heavily out of balance?
4) In criminal cases...a ***** is 85% more likely to be put in prison than any other race, yet the goverment has strict laws against discrimination.
5) In American law...it is illegal to extort money from people. Why then can one lawyer charge 2500.00 for a case, but a lawyer across the street can charge 25,000.00 for the same case?

I was contacted by a person who stated she was a major Hollywood start. Conversations got to telephone exchange. Then she accused me of stalking her. She initiated the contact on several occasions before and after the stalking accusation. Now she says she is a 12 year old who has contacted the police. I have told this person to stop contacting me on several occasions. Since being accused of stalking I have told her to leave me alone each time she contacted me. How do I protect myself form this threat? If their are any law enforcement who see this post --- please contact me to help. I do not want any contact with this person and will turn over what I have of the conversations if you are law enforcement. I just want this predator to go away.

Is it legal for university to allocate students to university accomodation on the basis of their race? Is it legal for the university to restrict a group of students to designated area? If the university is aware of the fact that ALL of the students under a package deal are of the same race, by restricting these students to a designated area, is this intentional racial segregation? Is it legal?

Restricted to a designated area means: All package deal students are only allowed in house number "this" to "that", all grouped in a small area. They are not allowed in other areas even if they requested for it or opting to pay extra. In addition to that, all the rooms in different areas has the same rental price. The rooms allocated to these students are among the smallest and least well maintained.

I own a franchise that I'm trying to get out of. I leased a store front where I operate my smoothie franchise. The franchisor has nothing to do with the lease as it's all in my name. I want to get out of the franchise and do some similar business in the location. The contract I signed with the franchisor has the non-competition clause below. My understanding is that as long as I'm not in the business of selling franchise rights, I will not be in breach of this agreement. Can someone with a legal background tell me if I'm right? Any info will be appreciated. Thank you very much!

The term "competitive business" as used in this agreement means any business offering, or granting franchises to others to offer fruit beverages or any other products or services offered by Franchisor.

My daughter's father and I just recently split up. I'm just wondering what are the differences between sole custody with one parent having visitation and joint custody where one parent gets the same amount of visitation or time with the child? Also can the parent seeking custody get a state lawyer or only the one being taken to court? My daughter will be 3 in September. I have been the main provider for her. Her father only took care of her while I worked but had no job for 21 months out of the 30 months we were together. He has no place of his own and I'm in my own place, working full time, and going to college. Is there a better chance that I can get sole custody rather than joint because of this?
