In Georgia, after one person files for the divorce, pays the money and signs the papers...how long after that does it take to be finalized? I know it depends on the circumstances but lets say it's non-contested. Once the other party is served the paperwork what happens then....say they refuse to sign them but does not get a lawyer nor do they contest it...just holds them and doesn't sign them. Will this go on forever or what will happen? Thanks.

I live in the same flat as my landlady, our post/mail is delivered at the front of our bloack of flats to a small locked mailbox. There is only one key for this and my landlady keeps hold of this and wont let me have accsess to it at all, therefore i can only recieve my mail when she returns home, sometimes this can mean she is gone for 2 or 3 days, i need my post as part of my job and not having accsess to it everyday is making thing difficult for me, I have suggested she leaves the key on a hook in our flat so we can both use it but she wont do this, she has also told me when she is on holiday her parents will have the key and come round every few days to check the mail. I have been told that by doing this she is withholding my mail and is breaking the law? Is this correct?

Four days ago, I got a cat from a man who is mildly retarded.
Now he is saying he wants the cat back, but I suspect that what he really wants is money. If I offer him money for the cat and he takes it, is it legally binding? Also, should I get him to sign an agreement?

I received in 3 tickets in March: speeding, failure to display registration and he claimed the tag on my license plate was not in clear view. As a result, I hired a lawyer and was told she would handle all three charges. I paid the fee and in May, I received a letter saying my license was suspended. I contacted the firm & they said it was an error on their part. They'll clear it up with the judge. I faxed them my registration which was valid. I contacted the firm 3xs to make sure they received it & they had. Last week, I received a letter with the court fees totalling $600. I'm a college student struggling to pay bills so I just started crying but when I saw the breakdown of the charges, I was charged a $200 fine for not having my registration. A charge that would have been about $5 if I went to the court & presented it. I contacted the firm & was told I never faxed my registration. I couldn't believe it. She said she'll get the fine dropped. If she does doesn't what do I do?

You make decisions as a Quango, Group, Individual or through Parliment which will have far reaching consequences yet never ONCE have we seen a politican taken to task when that decision has been shown to be wrong perhaps many years later. After all ,Doctors are held accountable well after the event so WHY NOT Politicians?- Decisions are often taken without any heed to the people most affected but are deemed to be politically expedient at the time. Just be honest and answer OK!
Thank you

First Direct, Vodafone, Virgin Media, the AA, Halifax and the Prudential have all withdrawn ads. Virgin said it had to "protect its brand".

You've seen the commercials and maybe even gone to the websites yourselves. Just how can people think for a minute that the 10 or 50 bucks they're sending so quickly for the hopes that the ad will reveal a secret money making opportunity will work for them?
I suppose this question leaves a wide open hole for opinions, but aside from the obvious, I have to say this:

Anybody who is crooked enough to not even tell you what it is you are to believe in ( ie. an ACTUAL PRODUCT!) RIGHT UP FRONT, has never, and will never have even the least bit of respectability that makes them worthy for even one nickel from another person! Yet people pay these "small fees" left and right. Look, it's ALLLL of those little $8.95's that add up to HUGE money for these cons.
I've never actually paid the "processing fee" so I really have no clue what it is they are selling. Some of you might even think I'm out of line to judge these websites.
What I judge is their character- Something money can't buy.

I do a newsletter. It originated by me being the editor for my Union's Newsletter Committee, but because the Union is slow and wanted to censor it, my partner and I continued the Newsletter on our own and quit the Committee. Our Union is taking claim to the previous newsletters that we made while we were the "union newsletter" but we were never compensated for our efforts as stipulated in the union's bylaws. Generally, the copyright stays with the author, but there is question of who has claim to the copyright of the past newsletters because we were in a committee for it. Does the Union have copyright claim of the old newsletters or do the editors because we were never compensated?

I have been a council tenant for 8 years, and am 6 weeks ahead with my rent account.
They have decided to clear and demolish our estate, but I have not found a suitable property in an area I am prepared to move to.
They are now threatening us remaining tenants with eviction if we don't find somewhere within the next 3 months.
Can they do this?

The father is in the Navy reserve and will be out of the service when he comes back. He refuses to support the baby until paternity is established. When he comes back the baby will be three months old. If he dies over there, is there a way for me to still establish paternity? Everyone in the military I know tells me that the military will not use the DNA samples that they keep for this purpose.

I am aware that, in the UK, a person can still be executed for treason and you can technically hang a man for stealing your car. The car one is clever as it dates back to the time of horses. If someone stole your horse, it was deemed that they stole your livelihood as the horse was your transport to convey both yourself and your goods. The car replaced the horse and the law was not repealed, therefore, if you are willing to risk a murder charge, you can legally hang somebody for stealing your car. One local bye-law, that was only repealed around 10 years ago, applied in a Northern village called Blackhall. The law allowed you to have sex, in public, on one side of the street but not the other. That law went back a few hundred years. Sadly, no! you can't go to Blackhall and have sex in public, it's illegal throughout the village now LOL

Should a 18 year old go to jail for having sex with a 16 year old? How old should you have to be before you can decide if you wanna have sex or not. I just think it's unfair that when ur 18 you can go with a 50 year old, but when ur 16 you can't go with a 19 year old legally.

Infront of my home there is a sree narayana gurumanniram.I belongs to the same community .I do beleive in sree narayana principle.This gurumanniram is under the control of a few people who belongs to the CPM. These people live on from the income comming from this gurumanniram.Poor believers are taken for a ride by this people and they indroctinate others against who question their faults . some other party leaders help them to fulfill their needs by influencing police station . Though the sound pollution is restricted by law they believe that they are above the law .I have complained to police and sent letters to IG ,district collector ,ASP and SI .No result achieved .Hence I filed a petition with the magistrate and got an order to remove the lound hailer and to put speakers.They have removed loud hailers and put speakers of the same volume .I had to go to high court and get a favourable order .Still the sound is same and police not doing any thing .Please advise right action.

About one month ago I was arrested by Torrance PD (Detectice Dennis Brady) for a charge that was dismissed three days later for many reasons (the county D.A. himself came up with at least 11 reasons why the charge was non-valid---last time I checked). During the course of my arrest, I remained quiet and cooperated 100% with all that was asked of me, and I mean ALL that was asked of me. The one time that I did speak out was when toys sewn by my daughters were being torn apart, one of the Torrance police officer, Officer White, approached me and asked me what was wrong. I informed her about my daughter's toys, she then passed on the word to the other 8 officers around the toys and other belongings. To my surprise, this only encouraged the destroction of the toys. The two agencies involved during the arrest were Torrance PD and US DHS ICE agents (internal affairs). Can I file and ender what grounds can I file suit against these agencies? for negligence? civil rights abuses?
