Law & Ethics - June 2006

I have 50% legal custody, but no physical custody. I get my son on the weekends for visits. My son is three, and we are in California. If I have 50% legal, but no physical, custody, do I still have to pay child support? I am on SSI (although I would like to go back to work) and my son's dad gets SSI and child-only welfare (cash and food stamps).

I was involved in an accident, last night, in which the other driver intentionally slammed on his breaks to cause me to hit him. This wasn't the typical tapping of the breaks, he put them on and held them on. Even though he admitted to break checking me, I was sighted for Unassured Cleared Distance.

Insurance has been broadcasting the 'Squat and Swoop' method, and have proven that it is illegal. While there was no other party involved, the intent is still the same. I would assume that means it would be illegal for him to intentionally cause an accident in a similar manner.

I'm thinking about changing my name. I'm 16 and I was wondering, Is it normal to change my name to something like this, i, for example, I'm french, could I change my name to another of Greek origin?

Or Jewish to Arabic or, whatever the combination was. Is it okay or frowned upon? Is anyone in a similar situation? ie. has a name of different origin?

They're two German Shepards that like to bark at all hours of the night. Yesterday, they broke through the neighbor's fence and were running all around our yard, banging against our windows, and growling at us. We were trapped inside for the whole day. This guy shouldn't even be allowed to have animals. An old dog of his had attacked someone in the neighborhood. Is there anything my family can do before something more serious happens?

I have recently moved into a new place, and I stayed over at my parents for 5 days - while I was away, my landlord went into my room as there was a letter adressed to me on top of my laptop.

I confronted him and he admitted going into my room while I was away and said sorry.

He is also wanting to fit a roof window in my room - which means having to go into my room - I don't want him to go into my room - I have paid a desosit and pay my rent in time, he is invading my privacy - also I think he is a bit of a pervert.

What are my rights as a tenant? I have a tenancy agreement. Has he broken the law???

This to me is like saying "If you don't like the war don't join the army" or "If you don't like animal cruelty, don't beat your dog", "If you don't like child molestation then don't do it".
It doesn't address the real issue, it belittles the person you're talking to and it makes one look bad to have to resort to such a cheap "comeback". It seems absurd to me. Maybe someone can enlighten me.

Here is what he says of himself:
"The facts are: in 1977, about one week after being elected President of the San Diego County Bar, I was arrested. I was viewed by many as being bent on self destruction and nearly succeeded. I immediately resigned my position and I ultimately pleaded guilty to conspiracy to receive stolen property. My co-conspirator was an old friend who remains my friend to this day. For your information, I am not a convicted felon. The offense was adjudicated a misdemeanor, I believe prior to the completion of my probation. As a separate part of the process I stipulated (agreed) with the State Bar of California to serve a three year suspension from the practice from 1978 to October 1981. "

My children are grown and all past child support paid. My ex-wife has an alimony order that I can't pay. The state of Maine is trying to collect under the department of child support enforcement. I owe the alimony but not child support and my kids are 23 and 25. There was an order for child support for the youngest and it was paid in full. The last child only lived with her for 3 months, then the childsupport order stopped.

I work as an engineer, I’m wondering how much verbal abuse, professional disrespect, and belittlement is legal in the United States?

I am a hard worker with a great work ethic, and work well with everyone. I work an average of 9 hrs a day, sometimes much more, and have always tried to please my manager but with little success. He is a former co-worker/peer with no people skills, recently promoted as manager for my discipline via his experience within the last year.

He micromanages my every move, treats me like a slacker, is a fault finder, and belittles me nearly, but not every, day. When he does this I always remain calm, professional, and maintain my composure, even when he yells at the top of his lungs at me. I always swallow my pride, because I love my work and have respect for my paycheck.

He will not ever let me explain my side of things. He is the type that seeks to be understood before he seeks to understand.

Anybody know what I can do without quitting?
