What do I need to do to change my last name in the States? It's not marriage related, it just I would like to go back to my mothers maiden name (just because it sounds better). Thanks!

I have called about 5 law firms and they have been kind of rude. Can I get some free legal advice on my last question? I don't qualify for legal aid.

I went to the ER on 1/5 because I was injured in a car accident. When I registered, I gave the hospital the other party's insurance info to bill them because they were at fault.
On 3/5 about the same time of day I went to the ER for chest pains and I personally do not have health insurance. Each day was a week day each visit was the same time of day. I received two different bills of course. The one from the car accident was just for my records but the administrative charges and doctor charges from the visit that was covered by insurance are about $300 less than the charges that are uninsured. Is this legal?
Each visit I was there about the same amount of time also. This seems very unfair to me. Does anyone have any suggestions?

If someone has a warrant out for their arrest in Ohio (or any other state) does that warrant show up in any other state even if it's not enforcable?
Someone is harrassing my husband but they live in different states. The police say they can press criminal charges but cannot enforce them because he lives in a different state. Does anyone else know anything else about this?

I have cousin who do nothing but cheat, still, and lye. Actually they do worse! The whole family needs help on how and what to do to stop these jack a..es. At first they took $2500 from my husband, then tried getting him fired, they stoll checks and wrote them in my name and I wound up paying the person back the money (I did get lucky on one part though the one who actually stoll went to jail) then one of the younger children went shopping with my daughter and stoll clothing and my daughter served probation time, they give and sell drugs to younger children, and now have set up a freind in the family so that they could get the child from her. This freind was living in California and they paid her way back to IL. saying they would twke care of her and do everything for her. Then take her child away (getting full custody) so that she has no visitation rights at all. This family deals weed, heron, meth, and more. Yet the police will do nothing, so how am I going to make them pay.

If a man hits a woman and she does not call the cops on him when he did it, but when he decides that he does not want to be in the relationship with her and wants her to leave and she doesn't, can she call the cops way after the fact and have him arrested?
It didn't happen to me but I know someone who this happened to and now since he knows she is not what she seems and does not want her around anymore, she is threatening to call the cops on him b/c she knows that he does not want to go to jail again. It happened last year and he has not hit her since. Will they arrest him and he is also the tennant in his apartment and not her so can he get rid of her?

I picked up a 2nd job to help pay for my wedding in August. We were told that we would get paid bi-weekly. Within the first 2 months my employer was already skipping payroll periods. We eventually got paid but now I am in a HUGH jam. I haven't gotten paid since the beginning of Feb. He owes me 100 and 1/2 hours of work. This is 6 weeks of pay. I know that he is in over his head financially, but why should that fall on me? I was being patient and still working, but yesterday I saw 2 things that bothered me. One was the HELP WANTED sign he put up. So, he plans to hire someone else and he hasn't paid me. Two was a hand written schedule that said "week ending 2/25" and under my name he had 6 hours. Well, I started writing all of my hours down back in January when he started to "forget" to call in the payroll(that is the excuse he gives me).

My question is, how long should I do this for, I don't want to get him in trouble, but I really feel like he is going to screw me.

If someone tells you that you can stay with them for as long as you need to rent free and you've stayed there for months going to school and saving up to find your own apt. but then they get tired of you living with them can they just tell you to get out on that very day, or do they have to give you at least 30 days, to find a place and at least find somewhere to store your things, or do they have the right to say get out right now? This is in IL.

I made a very bad mistake by agreeing to take out a $5000 loan for a friend who has no credit so he could keep his car and not go into bankruptcy. He has three jobs and initially said it would be no problem paying it off each month. He recently accumulated some heavy medical expenses and said he wouldn't be able to pay it off...at least for a while. So now I'm stuck with having to pay this $5000 loan off. My question is, would I have any chance at winning a case in small claims court over this? I didn't even think to have him sign an agreement with me when I took the loan out. Is the verbal agreement he gave me good enough? Any help would be greatly appreciated, cause I really don't know what to do and I'm really getting freaked out about it. Thanks in advance!

Case in point Anna Nicole. How many men are claiming to be the father now. Drugs prescribed to her like candy. The judge caught smoking pot in a public park. The Bahama's court doesn't even have a law to cover this scandalous behavior and the case is so big you know the rest of the world is watching in disbelief. Can you say "the whore of Babylon" Is it any wonder the Middle East calls us the great satan.
