Law & Ethics - October 2006

My ex is a realtor but owes approx $5000 in back support. The law in our state states that the state may only take 50% of his check max, so which do you think would happen:

(A) The commission is $10,000 total and the broker is entitled to 30% and back support is owed $5000.
$10,000 Starting Amount
- $ 3,000 Brokers cut
- $5,000 Child Support
------------------------------------
Amount left $2000 = for ex

OR

(B) The commission is $10,000 total and the broker is entitled to 30% and back support is owed $5000.
$10,000 Starting Amount
- $ 3,000 Brokers cut
- $2,000 Child Support Max amount
_______
Amount left = $5,000 to ex
(to leave 50% for ex since the max withholding is 50%)
50% = $5,000 = Amount of check he is entitled to keep.

I am not sure who gets 1st dibbs. He has a contract with his broker. He could pay extra from his personal checking acct. but I doubt it would have anything in it!

Child Support Officers please help!

A budging disc in my Neck on c6-7 and c5-6 I have been to the Doctors for pain killers. And I've seen a Chiropractor regularly and to a Neurologist and have had an MRI that’s when I found out about the budging disc. My lawyer says it NOT a siginfant injury, but since the accident I have had pain everyday some days so much pain all I can do is cry. I had shot of cortisone last week and I almost feel worse so far I have missed 3week sin a row at work plus odd days here and there. Besides the physical pain I am stressed out about bills that have fallen behind and the thought of losing items I can't make the payments on. And then there’s my love life between my boyfriend and I who have been together for two years and still have the passion that we had when we first met but can't act on it because of the pain. Now my lawyer wants to cut back on my treatments because of the bills getting up there. What should I say to the lawyer about all this? And how dare he say it's not siginfant.

Recently I applied to open a bank account and the information bank officer coughed in my face without putting her hand over her face I was caught unawares and quickled flapped my bank brochure up and down to create a 'wind' and told her she should stay at home, she proudly told me said has accummilated all these 'sick' days up! I have have spent the last week, with high fevers/vomiting and now secondary infection to my chest! If someone hit me with their fist out of the blue in the middle of the street, that is assault! whats the difference? Ive spent a week in bed and feel weak and leaving to live overseas 20th Oct, I am cancelling trip as cant get out of my leased house in time due to this horrendous illness. So, why do people think they have the right to cough in your face (I also had this happen last year in the supermarket whilst reaching for a food item), no time to protect myself.....if our flu virus gets any worse we could be looking at death by coughing.so %$#@8selfish!!!

This is a big difference, since it greatly affects the ticket price one can ask to be paid. If you are a New Jersey resident, and you are reselling tickets to a New York State concert, do you follow the laws for New York or New Jersey???

I need to argue that is it okay to keep a sexual predator in a state mental institution after serving their sentence in state jail. The guy says that it is double jeopardy but why is it not? O and the guy was deemed to be still dangerous by the state.

If you have any links that would be nice but just tell me whatever.

I don't really get it. Don't you have the choice before you have sex?
That's your choice.... If i have sex theres a chance there will be a prenancy. It's not the babys fault you were irresponsible.

I am ending my lease early on an apartment in washington state to buy a condo - the management gave me the option of paying $3200 to get out of the remaining 5 months of the lease (rent being $1325) however I know I can vacate the unit continuing to pay rent until it is re-rented at which time I will not be responsible for the payment. My question is how is it enforced that the rental company actively works to re-rent the unit - is it something that we have to check on and if so how do we know they are being aboveboard with us about their efforts. I calculate that the buyout option makes them 2.5 months worth of rent and therefore a good business deal for them seeing as how unlikely a rental unit will remain open for that length of time in a upscale, newer community complex. Any advice would be helpful.

Hello all :) - I live in NJ & had my son 4 months ago. 2 day was the 1st day in court (Im going for custody/child support). I have'nt spoken to my ex. Boy Friend since Jan. (He would not return e-mails or calls). My ? is ... Up until 2 weeks ago he was working 2 jobs. 1 full time (for years now) & 1 part time (for the summer). He no longer has his part time job (I believe he might of been laid off for the fall/winter). It will be several weeks before they figure out an amount he has to pay in child support (paternity has to be done first). Will the court only ask him for his last few pay stubs - Or does he HAVE to show ALL he's made? Im not sure if they only go back a couple of weeks - because by the time they figure the amount out, his second job will no longer be in the time frame within the last few weeks (instead it will be about a month or 2 later). AND am I able to "mention" to the court that he did have this job "months ago" **or it will be months ago once all is calculated.

can I continue to charge interest on an amount owed to me after I've secured a judgement AND the trustee process to attach his earnings here in Vermont. He's made payments for 4 years, and he's very close to satisfying the judgement (which included interest that had amassed for two years prior), but I'd like to continue charging -- and collecting -- interest on the judgement.

My brother had a son 11 years ago. He committed a crime when he was 21 and gave over temporary guardianship to my parents. (My nephew's mom gave up her rights) When he got out of prison he tried to get his son back but my parents fought him on this. It went to court and since my parents have more money they were able to pay for experts and they got legal custody and my brother lost all rights. I stayed out of it. I didn't testifiy on either's behalf. The court battle lasted 2 years. When my brother lost, he gave up hope and was really angry at my parents and lost contact with his son. In the meantime my brother legally changed his last name to his biological mother's maiden name because he had a baby and doesn't want the new baby to have our parents' last name. I have tried to stay out of the middle but I did tell my dad that my brother changed his name. My dad told me that they adopted my nephew. My brother doesn't know this! Should I tell him? My dad said I shouldn't!
