Law & Ethics - February 2007

I used to work at a foster care facility with my husband. I was in charge of fund raising, he is in charge of compliance. We met a boy there that we wanted to adopt. He's 17. We went through the process to have him with the state before telling our employers. The Executive Director & I do not get along. I was asked to leave the Ranch at the beginning of the month because they were reorganizing and wanted me to be a contractor & gave me the equip to do so. When we told them of the steps we took in wanting to get this boy it turned ugly. They told the staff I was not to have any contact with the boys "for reasons they can't say". The staff told this boy these things. He is heart broken and they even talked to the state. He is being torn in half & I don't want that. My old co workers have this statement in their mind, and my husband was told he had no character or integrity because we didnt go to them 1st. My husband feels uneasy there & we think he is being let go. Defamation???

My Xspouse gained custody of my two kids, because I had very poor representation. Fired that atty, now he keeps dragging me into court over past due child support. I obviously can not afford to hire a new attorney and they all want big retainer fees.

coward to answer the phone and confront me. I found out he lied to me and found out little by little the truth about all his lies. Today, I found out the worst one. I called him and his voice mail answered so I left him a message that his act was up and I found out the truth about him and what he is all about. Well, I got an email, telling me he filed a harassment report against me to my city police dept. He lives in NY. I live in another state. First may he be lieing? Can he file a complaint with my police dept. Shouldnt he have to file one in his own city?Also, he said he called it in..I dodon't you have to file a complaint in person? I cant believe this coward has sunk this low. I know you must be saying let it go, but he put me thru much mental abuse that I cant do

my friend's license was suspended.
before he can get a new license he must pay $3000 to new jersey child support. he has been layed off from his job where he had a ride to work. he is a carpenter and lives from 30-60 miles from any potential job sites. so.....he can't get a job without a license....he cant get a license without paying $3000......and he cant get $3000 without getting a job!
to add insult to injury? he is disabled....elligble for disability benefits. he wants to work while he still can , not collect these benefits at this time. he has a birth defect which has eroded knee and hip joints, thus causing pronounced limp, difficult mobility and severe pain.yet he works hard.
he is desperate to work. he has pleaded with his child support caseworker to take partial payments on the $3000. she has refused.
what are his options? the mother of his children has agreed to "drop the charges" or emancipate the children. this $3000 is part of a large arrear

Hello, I just began to rent a new apartment. My husband to be is currently on probation and because we were worried about this being an issue we did not include him on the lease. If he is in good standing with his probation and does not have any outstanding warrants, this does not violate anti-criminal rules for the apartment does it? I had to sign a waiver saying all tenants had to pass a criminal background check. Would he? Could we provide a letter from his probation officer, would that help? It's not like we are living in the hamptons, its a small complex near a community college.
