For example, we tell kids that premarital sex is wrong, but adultery & fornication aren't a crime and are promoted all over television and rather lightly thought of in society. The bible teaches that people were made in God's image & likeness, God made everything good and that homosexuality is an abomination; yet, being "gay" is legal in this country, while simple nudity (--not a sin ),is mostly illegal & frowned upon as being gross ( -- hmm, so people think God's likeness is gross??). Kids are taught to be nonviolent, yet they have free access to MUCH violence in TV shows, movies & video games (at home, public computers, theaters). Do some celebrities cry "gun control" & promote violence in their shows/movies? Why are actors "popular", in politics, about things they're ignorant about? Women cry "equal rights" & deny it to men in areas like childcare & parental rights. Often, bad crimes are little-punished while lesser crimes or non-crimes get big punishments.

This is a long and drawn out situation that some in my family are dealing with currently. My sister and her children are being evicted from my grandparents old house (they died a year ago) and my sister has been making the house payments even though the house is not in her name. My father and his sister have legally gotten a eviction notice naming them landlords to go to an eviction hearing. She never verbally agreed or signed any rental agreement with them. Nor has she paid them any money directly. She basically took over care of the house and payment responsibilities.

Other information: Father has his name on the bank loan. House has had very poor upkeep from the owner (sister has had to repair everything.) Grandparents had no will, but my sister has lived in the house for many years taking care of the house and my grandparents when they were dying.

Anyways just wanted to see some options that she may have before she contacts a lawyer.

If an offensive word is used for a person's race or sexual orientation, we react as if the words were machine gun bullets. Meanwhile innocent children are shot and murdered by consciousless gang members, and we take them to trial only to release them back on the streets. Is something messed up here, or am I missing something?

Judge wants to send my teen with Conduct disorder to Residential treatment center 300 miles away from my home. He plans on his decision next month. I found a Residential center that my insurance will pay 100%, and 38 miles away. Would it be appropriate to send Judge a letter informing him that I've decided to place her in a different RTC than what he may order? My child is in serious need of treatment, and her placement could occur 5 days before his decision. I'm not wanting to step on his toes per say, but his idea of RTC will not allow for my participation in her recovery due to distance. I'm putting in urgent calls to her probation officer, and she's not returning my calls. But in court she tells the Judge that my child is high on her list. But she's not high enough when I place urgent callls for her to return my call. I'm not indigent, and I don't need the state to pay for the mental health of my child. What should I do? Am I wrong for overstepping his choice?

My little sister was in Wegmans one day with a friend and my daughter. Her friend stole something and my sister being an accomplice ended up with an endangering the welfare of a child charge. This was almost a year ago, but she's still going through court. She was never convicted of anything and is getting the charges dropped. I told her that it shouldn't show up to the daycare she just applied for because she was never convicted and she hasn't even finished going through court. What do you guys think?

Just been told that in some places people in jail have to pay for each day they spend there. I did 6 months just recently and never heard about this. How can you be expected to pay if you can't work? Does this really happen?

I see lots of women saying they want to get all they can, but should child support be about punishing a man or should it be about what is actually needed to support the child?

My dad left my mom a few years ago for another woman. This woman is nothing but money hungry even though my dad does not see it. My dad has built an excellent business over the years from the ground up and is now very wealthy. I am worried that if he died tomorrow, that his wife would be entitled to everything. I know he has a will in place but how does it work? Wouldn't she still get everything since thats his wife? Ive already seen my mom get left with hardly anything from the divorce. Now Im worried that if he died, she and her kids would get everything that he worked his whole life for, and his real family would be screwed again. Also, Im 25 years old and out of the house as are my sisters. We work very hard just like he did and taught us. The wife and her 3 sons do nothing and are grown too. They live off of him.

I was wrongfully accused of having a relationship with another co-worker. After asking around, I found out who started these rumors. I was wondering if I can sue this person for false accusation? I honestly don't feel comfortable working there anymore.

Ok. So I don't understand.
a) he got acquitted from murder charges
b) he still lost a civil trial and got sentenced to millions in damages.

Since the second must base itself on the fact he is, somehow, responsible for the wrongful deaths and mùst indemnize the other party for their loss (whatever the exact nature of it, I could not get the exact terms and motives of the judgment), I can hardly reconcile it with the fact that the first trial cleared him of all charges, so I'd expect the double jeopardy clause to come in play... after all, a penal judgment, given its potential consequences ought not to be overturned by a civil jurisdiction right?

I can't make sense of it

My ex and I have our own deal going about child support and visitation times. He sees the baby 4 days out of the week and gives me $300. a month. I just recently found out he is talking to an attorney on what he gives me. The attorney mentioned to him that $300 is way tooo much to be giving me. He makes double almost triple gross monthly than what I do. Do you guys think it is fair if they reduce it? Should I go out and seek legal advice?

Verizon warned me that someone had a phone in my name in a city where I do not live and do not have relatives. Someone called me last night from Florida and informed me that an unidentified person was using my personal information to make purchases. Several years ago, someone ordered flowers in my name at a florist shop in Montana--a place I have never been to--and that person apparently did not have the funds to cover a check written. I do not have contacts in these places, yet someone claiming to be me uses my information just as easily as if it were me. Enough is enough. What do I do America?

I am considering putting out a warrant for arrest on my daughter's dad because he is refusing to pay child support. He is an alcoholic but he still manages to pay his own bills. He has even lied to my daughter about sending child support when he did not even send it. He is now 2 months behind.
