My father passed on in May of 2005 with an estate over 2 million. At the time of his death, he wa involved in a lawsuit from my brother-in-law over a house that my mother left him in the will. My mother died in sep of 2003. She left the house to my sister and brother -in-law, but my father had a "life estate" to stay there. In other words, when he died the house would go to them. Well, they sued my father to pay the taxes on the home, and his attorney took over 300k from my dad, and still the case goes on, even thouhg my father is deceased. My father's money is being sucked away y bogus attorney fees. How can i get it investigated and have them disbarred? The attorney is in California and i live in maryland, so its not like i can walk in his office.

I just posted one question regarding my sister in law's situation and anyone interested in answering that can go back and do so, but to fill in new people- she's developmentally disabled- 21 years old- and has physical disabilities as well and my mother in law nad step father in law are draining her VA and SSI benefits.

The second question that I am asking now is regarding a possibility of child abuse. She strips naked all the time and sometimes will cup her breasts in her hands. Sometimes when she does this, she'll say her step fathers name over and over- my mother in law says she does it to try to get attention or embarrass her step dad because she doesnt like him- I suspect there's more to it. Also, last year she had to have a metal rod put into her back and was told not to bend over for any reason. I went to their house one day to catch my step father in law throwing candy on the floor and instructing my sister in law that if she wanted it she needed to pick it up

It shocked me to find out, that not only do the Family Leave Act entitle mothers to only 12 weeks maternity leave, but also that these 12 weeks are unpaid (eventhough companies can choose to pay for the maternity leave).
America is one of the bottom countries around the world when it comes to maternity leave.
Wouldn't it be worth fighting through unions for longer leave (for mothers as well as fathers), i.e. the right to return to your job after a full year off, as well as for the right to get a decent amount of money (either from the company or the government) while you are on paternity/maternity leave?
Read this article for more information on the topic.

Received hand written bill of sale for a loader truck. Price of truck was $40,000.00, "as is". Seller of truck made out the bill of sale and signed it, however, my husband's signature is not on the document. I have requested but have never received a title. The truck in question, turned over on my husband, resulting in his death, and the truck was insured by the seller at the time of the accident. Need help determing ownership of this truck.

My sister in law is 21 years old, but severely developmentally disabled. Because her father is a Vietnam War veteran, she gets VA benefits as well as SSI beneftis and all this money is sent monthly to her mother. Her mother is remarried to a useless guy who has an 18 year old son and while my sister in law is brinigng in the majority of the family's income, she wears rags, doesn't get to do anything she enjoys doing, and the family is constantly broke. The step-brother, however, wears name brand clothes, recently bought a new car (on my sister in law's dime) and is constantly standing with his hand out ofr money that his dad (the step dad) will give him without question. My mother in law and step father in law have recently bought themselves new cars, as well. The money is supposed to be direct deposited monthly into an account with only my sister in law and mother in laws names on it, but it is deposited into the step dads account. My Mother in law is spineless and won't speak up.

Given the recent case in Wales where a brainless chimp Chav, murdered an innocent family man (and got just 2 years inside for it). I would like to know the general view on what you all think of the way the UK deals with Anti Social Behaviour. Is the Legal system effective or does it merely "soft soap" the issue without actually dealing with it?

I was called for grand jury testimony regarding a suspect which is now the defendant. The US attornies office wants me to go back and be cross-examined by the defense in a trial. I don't want to be involved with this case to begin with and was just trying to help the FBI. Now I could be labeled as a snitch. What if I skip my subpoena whats the worst that can happen to me? Will I charged with contempt of court or more?

My husbands daughter is a terror. After I had my first child she turned nastier than nasty, I even think she tried to smother the baby once, but I could never b sure. We sent he to go live with his sister in NY, she stayed there for a year terrorizing thier family & then took off to California to see her step sister who is a pill herself. Her sister has always been telling her to come live with her in CA & we've all been trying to not let that happen, but you all know how strong wills can be. After she got there they convinced everyone that they would b just fine. And everyone else agreed fine let them terrorize eachother instead of everyone else. Now 6 months later the step sister wants child support for the daughter who is only 17, She doesn't have any history with the law, she's justa home wrecker. Anybody have any advice as to what to do now. My husband thinks he can legally disown her. is that possible. She's been going her own way for over 2 years now. What do we do now

What if all the people in the world started a war against all the leaders in the world. No more presidents, kings or queens, no more giant corporations pulling strings. We will create equality and end hunger. Our governments have created a disgusting world, Isn't time we take a stand. Why should we live our lives according to their rules with 9-5 jobs, schools, etc...

We are slaves of the world our governments have created. Don't you want to be free?

My friend is a single mother of a child who has a deadbeat dad. He has gone YEARS without paying a dime of support, and when she finally took it before a judge the judge took away the guy's drivers license until he paid all his back support, He never paid an single dime to her, and Child Support Enforcement gave him his license back stating that he couldn't look for a job if he didn't have a way to get to interviews. He still hasn't paid anything. She has been making several phone calls and writing letters about it, and nobody will do anything for her. Is it just me, or does Child Support Enforcement in some areas seem to work for the Dad and not for the child?

How comes when a Muslim commits a crime, the media always mentions that they are a Muslim? This doesn't seem to be true for people of other religious faiths... and before we all get high and mighty, anyone can make a mistake.

But this is especially true, and irresponsible, in the case of terrorists. We should distance terrorists from religion as this would devalue their cause.

Anyone care to enlighten me?

These sick types that hack and spam and phish and spy etc etc . Should we execute them? I can't understand why these sort of things have to go on and I think if someone tries to intercept personal stuff or watches your habbits so they can rob you then they should be relieved of their breath.
If you think execution is too harsh then I don't want to hear from you. We used to hang people for stealing horses, why don't we hang people for stealing cars? Why don't we just birch chavs on site?
Your thoughts please.
