Law & Ethics - May 2007

An ex girlfriend out of my husbands past came back after 6 years saying that him and her have a daughter together. My husband was not only surprised but upset because he felt like a dead beat dad even though he knew nothing about this child. The problem is we think its all a lie. First off he has never seen this child, and the mother has a excuse every time he tries. She sent us a photo of a new born when this child is suppose to be 6, and she had no updated photos. She cant keep it straight because last time she said she was 6 then last night she said 5. Everytime he asks for a paternity test the mother freaks out on him and says she will tell his daughter that he denys her. And then she said she would take the test only if no lawyers are involved. But as soon as he mentions going through a lawyer she goes into panic mode. Is there way she can be held by law, or punished by law if there is no child and she was lying the whole time???? Any advice would be great!!

My ex husband is filing for ssi or ssdi, im not sure which one, i understand his current support will no longer exsist while he is on and that I will get a portion for kids. My question is what happens to the 20,000 he owes in arrears. He is only filing ssi(pretending to be bipolar which he has fooled all the doctors and he has gone to extremes for a over a year) to get a lump sum of money for himself and he told me he will no longer owe me current or BACK child support. He said he will stay on for a year or so just enough to get his "stuff" together. Pay his bills get his liscense back( that child efforcement took away), buy a car, wipe away the back and current child support, etc.

Can you report fraud to social securtiy?
How can this be fair? If he goes on ssi for a short time and they wipe out his arrears and then he gets a great job, wins the lottery or whatever and has no obligation to his child support arrears????? This just doesnt seem right.

My stepmother was a very angry and nasty person and convinced my dad that her daughter would be the best person to take care of all of his needs. And she does take care of him somewhat. However, we are very uncomfortable about her making his life and death decisions. Also, money and property has been taken from his house without any forced entry. We called the authorities just last weekend when $1,400.00 was stolen. The officer told her that by the looks of the situation, and without coming right out and saying it, that it looked like it may have been someone with a key. Her family is the only ones who have keys since my dad still lives in my stepmothers house. As his children, do we have any rights at all concerning him?

Everyone using the internet can be traced and judging by the content and invented accusations in Yahoo Answers against the Mc Cann family it appears to me that Libel action is justified.

People are traced first through the ISP and then the ISP can be forced by the Police to reveal who is paying for a particular account. The address can also be demanded from the credit card company.

Here is an outline of the Law but see the link below.


There are two versions of defamation, libel and slander. Libel is when the defamation is written down (including email, bulletin boards and websites), and slander is when the incident relates to words spoken.

In the UK, if someone thinks that what you wrote about them is either defamatory or damaging, the onus will be entirely on you to prove that your comments are true in court. In other words, if you make the claim, you've got to prove it!

My mother and step father have just had a very messy divorce and my mother has been granted the house, which at the moment is in my step fathers sole name.

The judge has made a ruling that the house must get transferred to my mother, but there is a mortgage outstanding, when the deeds get transferred will the mortgage automatically get put into her name?

Bit confused as I know the mortgage company will still need to have the interest in the property but after the hearing nobody mentioned the transfer of the mortgage??

Any thoughts would be gratefully recieved

If a handgun is registered in PA and used for self defense in your apartment In NYC with a PA permit, but w/o a NYC permit, what is the penalty or case studies? Basically in PA you would not be in the wrong by any means to shoot and kill an intruder and it would be completely legal to defend your property. It would also be 100% legal in NYC if you had the correct documentation. What is the penalty for not having the correct documentation? Please advise. Thanks.

I know that the drinking age is 21, but in New York State is also 21 for the age of the majority. I am 19, does this mean I am still a minor in NY until I turn 21 (even though I am over 18)? And, I live with my parents still, does this mean that they are responsible for me until I turn 21?
Please explain in detail about this for me, and why NY is 21 when almost all other 50 states are 18. Thank you.

The police in the UK have asked men who look at indecent images, but have not actually harmed a child to get help. Do you think that these men should be charged anyway? Or do you think that if they have not hurt anyone and get help, they should be allowed freedom and not sent to jail? Is looking at porn on the net as bad as harming the child who has been abused to make the image?

Please read the question carefully before answering.

Sure women can murder just as easily as men but I am talking specifically about a woman's right to murder her own children (abortion). Some people I guess would argue that you can do what ever you want to your own children but MURDER! Isn't abortion a little extreme?

Question: I recently obtained my J.D. degree. However, my grades were not that hot. However, I definitely feel in retrospect, if I were given the second chance to "redo" law school, I'd be able to do much better. I was just wondering if I had the chance to pursue another J.D. degree, at another school - and thus as a result had another chance to do better and get good grades - would that be a good idea? On one hand, I know what good grades can open up for you - clerkships, increased job opportunities, or a path in teaching; on the other hand: is getting 2 J.D.s a good idea? Is it career suicide? Will people look upon it strangely? Is it just so abnmoral/unconventional that it may be negative, even though you would be able to get better grades the second time around? Just wondering what other practitioners, professors, students, etc. thought about this?

She hasn't paid her rent in a while. I saw the repairman recently who asked me if I'd seen her, and I told him the truth, that I used to see her but haven't lately. But afterwards, when I went downstairs to the laundry room, I saw her TV on through her drawn blinds. The repairman was looking for her but she has been avoiding him and the landlord, and I feel guilty that I haven't told them anything, but she's always been nice to me and I know I will feel guilty if I do tell them.
Should I keep my mouth shut, or should I say something?

If a person's antibodies could cure all disease, would the government have the right to forcibly extract samples of that person's blood in order to help medicine and other people?

Imagine a person who is discovered to be immune to all forms Cancer, TB, Viruses, Bacteria etc. You could say he has a super immune system. He went through life unnoticed and became his own person. He is very anti-social. He would never willingly give information or other things to any organization. But this person is real. The government knows that by getting his blood they would be able to cure all people of disease. Would the government be able to force this person to submit his blood or body to research?

I filed my Complaint with the federal court. Can I voluntarily dismiss a defendant before he is served with process - for instance - can I send the voluntarily dismissal to him instead of serving him with the complaint and summons, or, let's say, mail the voluntary dismissal, the summons and complaint to him all at once? Don't ask me why - just answer the question please.

I know that we go there to learn and blah blah blah. I just want to learn on my own time. The constitution says we have freedom to do as please we use or own will and all that. The thing is they are forcing me in school. I need time to release stress from parents and school and teachers. My peers aren't the issue. I know it says we all have the right to a free education, but just because we have the right doesn't mean we have to take it right? Serious answers only would be nice
