I came home from a psychiatric hospital that I spent a week in to get my medicines straightened out and when I came home he bolt locked me out of my home and I had to climb through the window to get in and he hid all the vehicles so I can't get my medicines on time or see my doctor/doctors. Does he have a "legal" right to do this? Does he have a legal right to try removing me from my home although my name is on the deed? Only his name is on the mortgage, but both our names are on the deed to this house. Thank you for all responses.

Help me settle an argument with a buddy of mine:

He says it is legal under the Basic Speed Law to drive faster than the posted speed limit if conditions are ideal (no constructions, dry roads, unlimited visibility, etc.).

I say the Basic Speed Law is only for non-ideal conditions, and the maximum posted speed limit is for ideal conditions, and, legally, you are not allowed to go over this for any reason.

Which side is right?

I already wrote a few times about a recent "ex-boyfriend" who was acting shady, so I publically dumped him over Myspace(go me!) He still has a pile of clothes(given to him by his brother) at my apartment. A few weeks ago before I dumped him, when he started being ignorant, I called him and expressed my annoyance by telling him to come get his clothes. Needless to say, that never happened. My ex and I have been arguing with each other and basically belittling each other in mutual ways. Two friends and I are thinking of dumping his clothes(along with his Mountain Dew case he left behind) onto his front lawn one morning! Haha. My friends think this is really funny, but I just want to make sure there isn't any chance that this will result in "vandalism" charges or some stupid little law breaking. I mean, dropping off his clothes on his lawn will be embarrassing, but it's better than me simply throwing them away, right? I can't get arrested for this, can I?

A woman is claiming that she has invented putting stamped fondant on a cupcake and that that is exclusively her idea and no one should copy it otherwise it would be a law violation... So if I go out and buy some fondant and stomp on it with my foot to make a pattern to put on my cupcakes and sell it, is that is a law violation? She is going after people using yahoo flickr to call and name people as law violators, is this not defaming? Is she right to do this? How come the twinky factory isn't sueing the people that are famous for replicating twinknies and hohos..

It said on the leaflet thing that this is the 'new biometric passport and it holds a microchip and antenna', so does this mean it can track down where the passport is? I kind of wanted to flee the country... do you agree with it? Does it make you feel safer or not?

John McCain's assertion on Bill Bennett's "Morning in America" show that "there are neighborhoods in Baghdad where you and I could walk through those neighborhoods today."

Karen Tumulty, a Time journalist asked Brian Bennett, the TIME correspondent who is in Baghdad at the moment, how it looks on that end. Here's his reply:

I just spoke with XXXXXX, our Iraqi bureau manager, about where in Baghdad I could go for a walk. He said there was one neighborhood (I'm not telling -- why make it a target?). He said I could get out of the car with him and a couple of our Iraqi bodyguards and walk for about three blocks - -then we'd have to get back in the car before the cell phone calls to kidnappers caught up with us.

In other words, McCain is right. It's safe for a stroll -- if you take two bodyguards and wear your running shoes.

Typical.

I haven't owned a weapon in a few years. I learned about shooting and safety in the USMC but never felt compelled to buy a gun.

Recently I've felt a need to own a weapon, not for terrorist, but from opportunist if there ever was a national emergency or breakdown in society.

Suddenly, the right to bare arms seems like a right I never considered really high on my list.

Without this right, only a criminal would have an advantage.

Has anyone else felt the need recently? Is it current events?

Man, it only takes one terrorist act to bring out the American opportunist and the home bread terrorist.

My husband and I have had our grandson since he was two weeks old. He is now 18 months old. His mother has not even tried to come and see him. She states that she is too busy. However, she has been telling everyone she runs into that her son is handicapped without knowing anything about her son. I want to know what I can do to protect my grandson from her, without taking full custody away from my son. I do want to take her parental rights away, due to her lack of care.

I have been selected as a juror on a trial that will take approx 3 weeks. My employer pays only 3 days of my jury duty. My supervisor has been accomodating in helping me make up some of my time away but the remainder of my time spent on jury duty they are requiring me to use my accrued vacation and will not allow me to take some of the time without pay. I was trying to sacrifice a little pay to save some of my vacation time. Sitting on a jury is not my idea of a vacation and it feels as though I am being punished for being selected for this jury!

My stepfather is a registered child sex offender that is registered to one address, but actually resides with my mother and their kids at another address. I have tried to get somebody to do something about it, but CPS, the police, his probation officer, and the DA's office won't do anything to get my brothers and sisters out of harms way. They have all said that it's out of their hands. Any ideas on what can be done?

does anyone know how I can get involved,even on a volunteer basis in things to catch internet predators, such as on the tv show "To Catch a Predator" where someone pretends to be underage and waits for someone to proposition her.
can I do it on my own and report to local police or do I need permission from someone.
I think this is an excellent use of anyone's time and would like to help keep kids safe but don't know how to get involved

I'm in the Real Estate Finance business and work as an independent broker representative. I send out a lot of emails, marketing pieces, and hand out a lot of business cards. I use my middle name as my last name on my marketing pieces and when talking with clients and associates because my last name is just too long and complicated, especially in an email address. I do, however, sign my legal documents with my first, middle, and last name all together. Is it legal to market myself using just my middle name? Can I legally use my middle name without my last name for business even for legal documents if I get some type of DBA (Doing Business As)?

Please someone tell me I don't have to legal delete my last name to make this work!

A friend of mine who speaks hardly any english had an old phone bill unpaid for a breach of contract and it was around $750 and he never paid. The debt was sold to a local attorney who garnished his bank account and took $1775. He was mailed a $6 check along with the garnishment paper work(no letter of explanation, I assuming it was overage). This was a month and half ago. The original debt is still showing on his credit report. Today I contacted the lawyers office on his behalf and talk to an extremely rude lady(she was an attorney) and would not fax a paid in full letter saying he still owes another $357 and would not breakdown the charges and say that he had the breakdown already.
I got so upset! But then I reminded myself that this was not my battle and wondered why I was so worked up. She was really rude basically a BIAAAAATCH! How can I help him? With out getting involved where It is taking up to much of mine time. Can he sue in small claims court to get an explaination?

Officials at Deerfield High School in Deerfield, Ill., have ordered their 14-year-old freshman class into a "gay" indoctrination seminar, after having them sign a confidentiality agreement promising not to tell their parents. "This is unbelievable," said Matt Barber, policy director for cultural issues for Concerned Women for America. "It's not enough that students at Deerfield High are being exposed to improper and offensive material relative to unhealthy and high-risk homosexual behavior, but they've essentially been told by teachers to lie to their parents about it."
