I have an ex-boyfried who I let get a car in my name and he got over $4000 in parking tickets which I was paying on them. Well last week I went to court for the fines because I had not paid any since January this year and I was sentenced to 24 days in jail. I did not do any time because I paid off my fines at the jail but I was processed, I had to wait in a holding cell for 7 hours before the money was brought to me. My question is should I sue my ex? He has paid almost $8000 in payments for the car but I feel he should have paid his fines. I have 2 kids, one his, and I don't really have the extra money for this. Do you think I have a chance to win or should I forget about it because I do have the car and title?

A co worker apparently has an issue with another co worker for being married to an executive over seeing a transition. Lady A happens to be lesbian Laby B married to the executive asked me if I know if Lady A was with another lesbian Co-worker C. Lady B(married) felt that if so then Lady A would be hypicritical trying to push Lady B out the back while having a relationship at work. I said no I had no knowledge of them being together & how did you get there. Lady B explained how she heard this & that & nothing to stand on. I again said no & that what limited info I knew said they were just friends in fact that if together why would one live with her partner in Berkley while the other one doing the pushing lived 30 miles away. Lady C asked me later what the latest was on Lady B to which I said Lady B didnt expect to last much longer & seemed to be heading down a path only making things worse. I should have let it go but it didnt seem fair Lady C or A being accused & it slipped out.

My parents died recently and still have a debt to be paid to them. The legal contract that states the handling of this amount says it goes their estate when they die. Nothing individual. Does it mean the amount to be paid needs to be counted in the second parent that died or split between the two?

A person is convicted of murder, they serve time, get paroled. Later they kill the person that they were convicted of murdering because they were never actually dead, and they cant be tried since they already were, like in the movie. Now, what if, in real life. A person is found not guilty in a murder case, but later on it is learned that the person is actually guilty. Would they be tried again? Double jeopardy does not apply here does it? Since the person was not convicted of the crime?

A while back I posted some questions regarding an issue about Chase lowering my limit due to me "not spending enough" during in specified amount of time. Anyway, I told them over and over that I would not give them permission to pull my credit (3 times to be exact) and that I'd just find another card and transfer the balance.

Last Wednesday, I noticed that they made the decision to increase the limit back to where it was. Today, I noticed that I had a credit alert stating that I had a new employer, "EMPLOYER" - that was all the info, no address or anything. Could Chase have done this to gain access to my credit report (w/o knowledge or consent)? If so, is that legal?

I haven't applied for credit in over a month and there was no inquiries added to the alerts.

If the accused abused the victim one time, and was sentenced to one year probation, comply with child protective units orders, because he was not suppose to be with the child, although the court gave him the right to, and there were no protective order stating that he couldn't be with him child, just the order that the child protective unit stated that he couldn't be with him child, but could be with his wife, the victim. If the abuser and victim are now together, and no more incidents had occured, but the accused failed to obey the child protective order to care for the victim medically, and the victim sides with him, should he be charged for failing to obey to be a caregiver?

I live in a rural area. I have about 1.5 acres of land with a tiny bit of lake front. I have what you might consider a mobile home, though once installed, it really is no longer mobile, more like a low end modular. It cost me about $80,000 and being lower middle class doesn't mean I don't have rights.
About 1/4 mile away is a fenced in lot of about 4 acres. When they cleared the land somewhat and fenced in a part of it last fall, I had no idea what was going in there.
Now I know. It is a pellet gun or air rifle range. It opened about a month ago. Initially, the dirt bank at the end of the range was about 5' tall. There was nothing on the sides. Now the back is about 7' tall and part way down the side towards my house is a dirt bank about 3-5' tall.
I've got several holes. I've got a broken window. My car has been hit. My dog house has been hit. My kid plays out back. The owner offered to pay for damages. The cops say it was accidental, there's nothing they can do. This is ridiculous
