The car is in my name and my boyfriend has no right to it. He paid alot of the bills that needed to be paid to fix the car but his name is not ont he car. Anyway, we broke up and now he wants me to pay him all the money back, but well I can't, he says that I need to pay him or he will take out a lien on my car. Can he do this and what rights do I have?

I am being skinned alive by the IRS and need to just pick up and start life over somewhere else. I have a very limited amount of money to take with me, so I need to live somewhere fairly cheap and also be able to pick up some work to supplement my income. Also, I am currently on probation after being convicted of defrauding the IRS. Any suggestions?

I would like to look at my parents' divorce case from 1988. Can I just walk into the courthouse and ask for it? I'm also interested in where I can get statistics on the early Paternal custody successes. I know my father was one of the first in a geographic sense but it isn't something I can ask him. (not sure if it was our county, our half of the state, our state, etc.) I am proud of the fact that he raised me and want to know more.

In my opinion, public defenders are nothing but a joke. they are there just to earn a goverment check. They are people we pay with our taxes just to sink us even deeper.
My friend was assigned a public defender in a drug related charge. The woman "Attorney" came 5 minutes before the court and when she was asked about my friend's case , she said "she didn't have time to read the charges". I asked her how was she going to defend him if she didn't know nothing about the case she responded "I hope the family hired a lawyer it will be better"

He is currently under negotiations with his employer, to be paid as a company - and has stated that this will drastically reduce the amount of child support he is supposed to be paying - what can I do, I rely so much on the child support to pay for the girls schooling, healthcare, after school activities - his earning capacity is over $100,000.00 per year and I only earn $43,000.00 per year, why is he so hell bent on hurting me by cutting off the maintenance and not being able to see that the money is only ever spent on the girls education and needs. What can I do to prevent this from happening ??

I have wanted to be a lawyer for some time... do mock trial and teen court so I know that it isn't all smiles and butterflies, glamor and glitz like on TV...there are just so many different types of law out there. I know I don't want to do criminal law, because I don't think I could handle having to prosecute someone who I know is innocent or defend someone I know is guilty. Stick to civil law? And also, is corporate law mostly writing contracts?

I am in legal trouble for a class 1 misdemeanor/ no victim involved. I was granted a public pretender who was unwilling to advance a valid defense in my behalf and only pushed for an expedited case through plea bargain. Now things have snowballed and I stand to go to jail which will cause me to lose my home, job, vehicle, community credibility, etc. I cannot find any REAL and ACTUAL local legal aid. I am not wealthy and have already spent all my savings and more on fines, etc. This is a nonviolent crime involving simple possession of about $2 worth of pot. The courts have lawyers and I don't. This doesn't seem like justice to me. I can't even get the public defender to listen or validate my side of this matter. I am being pushed along and can't seem to stop this now. Help please. Don't lecture me about pot, I need help, not sarcasm. Thank you

For several days, I have been a lot and I mean a lot of popups from yourdebts.co.uk which is making my computer very unworkable to work on. I have tried many adware security packages (see my question in computer security section). I have even emailed the company spamming me, but they refused to answer any of my emails.

What action can I take against yourdebts.co.uk based at 8 Eggleston Court, Middlesbrough TS2 1RU.

They owe me a new computer, as they have ruined by current one.

Where does the law stand here? Surely it is wrong for a British company to persistantly pester somebody.

I think it's a bit iffy since I'm not Christian and I know there are others like me.

But still though it might be interesting to look at the bible in a historic way rather then an emotional one. Right?

ive had a downstairs neighbour, and when he started trying to con my mum (who lives in the same block) i stopped him. He replyed by threatening to get me killed, and since then he's attacked me with a knife and a cro bar ( which i blocked with my arm) and has since won the landlords attentions by complaining about me when ive done nothing wrong. The landlord has decided to agree with him even though hes persecuted me and made malicious untrue complaints. Now i am being evicted. Is there any action i can take??

I personally don't believe the government should take away peoples' right to protect themselves with guns. They should not ban guns, or anything.

I was wondering though, what if they just made it so that you had to successfully complete a safety course first? I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Maybe this is a stupid question. I'm sorry if it is.

Someday I would like to adopt children into my family and I happen to be a bi girl. I know I will be a wonderful Mother.

I also know that there will be some legal issues because in some places in the USA bisexual, lesbian, and gay people do not have the same rights as our straight friends, so where can I find some info on the international adoption issues I may face when trying to adopt a child.

If you have adopted children internationally then it would be great to hear about what the process was like for you. If you are a lesbian or bisexual woman or your wife/husband/partner is then that would help too. I've heard that some lesbian women have had to lie and say they were straight and single just to adopt internationally, but I do not want to have to lie about who I love.

I have a 26 foot pontoon boat and I rent my home. I acquired the boat after I moved in. It looked really bad when I first got it and I have been fixing it up. I still have to put furniture and a motor on it. I have had it for six months. It has set beside the garage in the yard for six months and i have spent probably 4,000 dollars so far fixing it. There is a small patch of gravel behind the garage and it doesn't fit there. The grass where it sits is not dead. It doesn't look unsightly. One of the stipulations in the lease was that the property had to be kept in a sightly manner. It looks good and 200% better than before. My yard is not cluttered. My landlord is forever leaving me notes or dropping by and saying that there are to be no boats on the property. It does not say this in the lease. I am trying my hardest to finish it. I expect that it will take at least another few months to complete and a couple thousand dollars. I had a one year lease and have lived hear for 1yr 5mos.Help
