I am suing a former roommate for leaving 6 months early on a 1yr lease, plus damages and harassment. I fell I hav e a 99% chance to win being that I have all of my bills, lease, signed agreements, police reports, etc. He even declined to come to court mediation before I filed for this case. I am pretty sure that I will win considering I have a lot to support my case. Has anyone here ever won in small claims? After a judgement happens how do I go about collecting the judgement? (the case in being heard in Brooklyn, NY) Someone told me u have to go back to court after u get the judgement and file a new judgement to appoint someone to collect for me. Someone else told me all you need to do is tell the bank where they work and the bank the use so they can start garnishing their wages? Can anyone tell me for sure what the next steps are after you win a judgement? How do u ensure collection? How soon will I start recieving payment? The case is being heard at the end of this month. Thanks!

I am speaking in reference to the recent news story where a 17-yr-old boy is being prosecuted and facing jail time for having consensual sexual relations with a 15-yr-old girl at a party.

We teach kids about safe sex. We provide them with condoms. We were all teenagers once and know very well that sex is a big part of teenage life, whether active or in thought.

Yet some of our sex laws punish the innocent, such as the boy in this case. Yet we completely ignored the fact that a video of this incident was shown to a group of grown adults (the jury). Personally, I do not need to watch child porn to be able to tell you how I would vote in this case. NOT GUILTY!

Am I making sense here? Are our laws screwed up to the point where the innocent may be targeted and victimized?

My friends brother carries his gun for protection, he comes back home, and steps out of his car and sees a few of his friends that start talking to him, so him not thinking stayed out there..without going back into the house to put his gun back up, and apparently before he came the police had been called on the other guys(my friends brother of course didn't know this) so the police show up, and ask them if they have any weapons on them..and my friends brother says yes(while his hands are up) and says its in my pants, and he also tells him this gun is registered in my name..all you have to do is run the numbers, but the cop arrests him anyway.(mainly because he didn't have a license to conceal..only a license to carry). What do you think the punishment will be when he goes to court? He has a full time job, and has never been in any trouble before? He can't afford an attorney .. but when he wanted a court appointed attorney..they said he didn't qualify.

the money you use to pay for those goods be it cars or anything goes back to that country and builds thier economy,it does nothing for ours and sooner or later our standard of living will drop. and if you tell me its because of quality i got the facts to prove you wrong. yes our dollar is going higher but that is only because of the energy sector out west and once that levels off and the oil companys have what they need only they will be getting rich and the layoffs will start .
heres an example i moved to New Brunswick to retire and half the cars i see are asian and people wonder why they have no jobs ,for years Ontario has been suppling the bulk of transfer payments to poor provinces ,but thier is going to come a time when that will be severly cut back because the manufacturing base is dieing and service jobs like walmart ,fast food chains don,t pay anything so wheres your taxes going to come from ? China ,a country whos spends 10% on military and soon flood us with their car

5 1/2 years ago I paid a lawyer $450 to do my simple will. I want to make some deletions and additions to the will and have the software to print a codicil form. Can I do this and take to a notary to witness my signing and then send a copy to the lawyer who prepared my original will. I don't want to pay another large legal fee to attach a codicil that I have written and provided. Will the lawyer accept this legal document, signed and notarized, and attach to the origianl will in her office. You can reply to be at: ButtonUp827@aol.com or here. I will definitely give credit here for the answer. Thanks, Lynn

My uncle has left a Registered Will leaving part of his wealth (in acknowledgement of my financial help - not recorded -) to me and the major portion to his adopted daughter. He died over a decade ago. In the Will there is a provision that THEY (meaning both and not one) can make changes in the Will if found suitable. The Will was hidden from me intentionally for years. Finally I told my Aunt that based on his letters to me I will claim my right to own the entire property. Immediately the Will was shown to me and I have taken Xerox copy of it. My Aunt lives with the adopted daughter and I understand that she is under pressure to rewrite the Will using the clause that changes can be made in the Will during their lifetime. Is this possible? When the term is used “We can change the will during our lifetime” how the only one living can alter the Will or rewrite it. Till my uncle’s death no change has taken place and the Registration Office has confirmed it. Please advise me.

I make appointments for my son and then my ex keeps calling the doctor's offices telling them they can't see my son without consent. I went throught this with my eldest son who has finally been able to get a diagnosis for his Anxiety Disorder.

We've been expecting the Filipino Veterans Reunification Act (or something like that ) for about a year now and nothing has changed.

They said that it was now a bill, but the senators are yet to make it a law..

What's the purpose of making it into an act or a bill, when it is not being implemented? (We are still waiting for the go signal, despite Filipino Veterans Reunification Act now being a bill..)

I recently rented a mobile home, and the contract my husband signed said that because we were renting it at a low rate, we were responsible for maintenance, repairs, things like that. As soon as we moved in, we discovered only one light fixture works because there are major wiring problems. On top of that, because the mobile home is in a mobile home park, the water lines are connected. After two days we got the "handy man" to come over and turn on the water, but he said there are plumbing problems, and the pipes were leaking and refused to turn on the water, because it would not be fair to the others in the park (becuse there is only one water bill that is divided up among everyone). We called the management, and they said we have to pay them to fix the plumbing or hire someone else, and until then, will not let us have water. Since on the lease we agreed to maintenance and repairs, can they do this?

This question is not intended to invoke argument regarding the fairness of Libby's sentencing. I am only asking for an opinion on the issue of pardon authority. This could apply to future or past pardons by any president past or present.

While I do support the presidents authority to pardon individuals from time to time, I do not think that he should be allowed to pardon members of his own cabinet. This seems to be a conflict of interest, because it removes any hope of accountability for criminal activity perpetrated within the white house itself. The way it stands, a president could have others commit crimes for him and simply pardon them later. I do not feel that members of the white house or the president are above the law. ("Justice for All")

Do you agree or disagree ?

My mom is terminally ill. Unfortunately, she hasn't made any preparations for either healthcare or what to do after she's passed away. And there are 6 surviving children and unfortunately, only 2 of us are really responsible and don't want the burden of unexpected expenses to sneak up on us. We'd really like to try and get things in order as much as possible. My youngest brother and I will most likely be the ones financially responsible for any extra costs. Because of this, we'd really like to have say in her healthcare, as well as funeral arrangements.

If it were you or I to lie to Congress, the FBI, the CIA etc. Would we get only 30 months? Or would we be hung out to dry? and would we get up to 2 months before we had to report, or be led from the court house in handcuffs if found guilty?

There hasnt been ONE well-grounded medical study to prove that second-hand smoke causes any health problems... Even if so, if you go to a bar a couple of times you are NOT likely to get cancer... So why dont just people lay off smokers for a second and put pressure on certain minorities overusing their cheap cologne that gives people allergies or soccer moms dragging their crying babies everywhere that give people headache. Bottom line is smoking is legal and if it is legal then smokers should be given a break.... By the way, I am not a smoker, but I feel sorry for them!

Does anybody know the law on workplace hygeine ?

I work in a building with 19 other people, and we found cockroaches in the kitchen about 8-9 weeks ago.

The managers called a pest control firm, and they come out and laid some traps etc, but there still here.

The managers do not seem to bothered about it and I don't think my company is doing enough to get this under control, and we have nowhere to sit and eat our lunch.

Are there any laws that would help me out ?

I just went to the Dr's office and was refused to be seen due to me having an outstanding non-paid balance with another Dr.'s office. Now to my understanding I always thought you couldn't refuse a patient for any reason.

Is this legal or not?
