Law & Ethics - May 2007

Since murder is illegal and owning guns without proper authority is also illegal, how would gun control stop anyone from committing and illegal act. If one is predisposed to taking a life, which is illegal, obtaining a gun would be quite easy, so how does gun control help? Remember we're talking about those few people who are intent on killing someone.

Classified employees are very hard to fire, even if they miss work and use up all of their leave and sick days. Why is it so hard to get rid of someone that is essentially not working but recieving pay?

I know all the lies he told werent the sole reason the Iraq war was started but I think he certainly had a part in it especially when he jumped up and said its a slam dunk Mr. President. Of couse he now says that WMDs wasnt what he was talking about. So the lies just keep on coming dont they?

Who gets the settlement when a parent sues on child's behalf?
My mother sued on my behalf (won) and never told me! A relative (father's side) tracked me down to tell me 14 years ago my mother filed a lawsuit, against a bank, on my behalf (pertaining to a trust fund left to me by my father's side of the family). I was 18 years old 14 years ago!

At some point wasn't my signature needed? Isn't a signature required by both parties for a joint account? She has a 3 ring binder filled with checks that have her name and my name....a joint account? I never signed a thing. Can she do this legally? What should I do?

My sister has been married for a little over a year. She has a house, 2 cars, cell phones, etc. which are all in HER name…
To make this short, basically what I am asking is this. Is it fraud if her husband is in so much debt (that she doesn’t know about), that he starts selling things on eBay that he doesn’t have!!! He is close to 10,000 dollars in debt and my sister is now getting things in the mail from collections that she A. had nothing to do with and B. was never aware of. The thing is all this stuff is in her name. Would she be able to press charges for fraud; or anything for that matter? Just trying to get some information to help her out before she seeks an attorney

i am English...my husband from whom i am separated almost 3 years is Irish...we got married in Ireland and are legally separated within Irish law...i am now living in England and he has also moved to England to live with his girlfriend...I have a son from a previous marriage...and a daughter from my marriage to him...My daughter was born in England before we were married but holds an Irish passport and we moved there when she was a month old...

what i want to know in a nutshell is whether i can divorce him here in England when we got married in Ireland...and how complicated this could be...would our legal separation agreement count for anything or would we have to start again with everything...if anyone can offer me any advise it would be appreciated...

of course i will see a solicitor...but i just want to know if this can be done from here...Irish divorce is pretty complicated...thank you...;0)

I went to look at my sons medical records, I want to use them in court, but they said I have to pay for an office visit and the Doctor has to sit with me while I review them. My attorney had already requested that they be sent within 14 days, and they never complied. What's the deal? Do I really have to pay to view them?

A 17 year old girl is 4 months pregnant. Last week she found out that the baby has a congenital brain defect and if its even born alive it won't live much longer than a few days. She wants to travel to the UK to have an abortion but the Health Service have banned her from leaving the country. If she isn't allowed the abortion she will have to spend the next 5 months with a dying baby inside her and then have to suffer as it dies. I find this incredibly cruel and insensitive of the Health Service. Any opinions?
