Law & Ethics - August 2007

What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty? I havn't seen a bit of evendence of a crime yet people on both political sides are calling for an investigation. Some are even calling for impeachment. I dont agree with his politics but all people should be presumed innocent until proven guilty. That is the american way. People who say he's guilty because he made a plea deal dont understand our judicial system. The only mistake Craig has made is thinking he would have been better off with a lawyer. Only guilty people need lawyers. A lawyer is more likely to try to convince you to cop a plea especially on a misdemeanor.
It sickens me that so many are taking the word or a cop, and a news magizine that has been out to get him for a long time.

I am to go for a review of my child support in Oct. I live in GA and currently receive a little over $300 per month for 2 children. The Child Support office has recommended a little over $1300 is what I should be receiving. The father has, of course, requested a hearing to dispute this. On what basis would a judge likely decrease this?
Some background info - When we seperated we had a 2 year old and I was pregnant. I worked full-time and he was in college full time, hence the original low amount, but he now has a full time nursing job and almost $7000 monthly income. Recently my hours changed to a combination of days, nights and weekends and I would be paying out more for care than I was earning, so now stay home. (The review inputs an income for you if there is no physical reason you cannot work.)We are both remarried and my husbands income allows me to stay home with my children, something I was never able to afford to do before and love!

The Republican Party claims that it is the moral party, which stands for family values. But their words appear to be empty with the number Republican Senators caught up in perverted behavior. Senator Foley is a pedaphile, Senator Larry Craig is a closet homosexual who engages in sex with anonymous men in public restrooms. Senator David Viter is a married man who solicits sex from prostitutes. Presidential Candidate Rudy Giuliani has been married 3 times, and cheated on his second wife. I am sure that there are more Republican officials who have not yet been caught. My biggest problem with the Republicans is that they are full of hypocrisy.

My ex mistress had a baby. I signed a acknoledgement of paternity paper without reading what it was, was told it was a release form for the baby. She had it covered and I later learned the nurse that was a witness was a good freind of hers. I know it was stupid but I was in a hurry. Now I have been ordered to pay child support which I won't mind if the child is mine. Which I doubt. The baby look noyhing like me and the dates don't add up. Also she told my wife she was a virgin until she meet me so not true. Anyway I know I can still have a dna test done that I need to pay for but will I need a lawyer to patition the court so it's legal?

In the past year or so our neighbors have decided to start blaring music with a lot of bass either in their house (with the windows/doors open), or out of their cars, or both. The cops don't care, they claim they can't do anything. Communication is not an option apparently. I thought I was above revenge, but I'm nearly at my wits end now. They're just white trash, and I totally believe in karma. But is there any other way we can deal with noisy neighbors, or should we just wear earplugs for the remainder of our time here?

I was stopped by the Police driving on a private estate with on licence and insurance, i told them that i was driving on a road on a private estate and i dont need a license nor insurance to do that but my friend was found Guilty yesterday of similar issuse on the grounds that as long as the public have access, it is a public road but my argument is that as long as it is a road on a private estate and the council does not have responsibility of, in terms of the license aspects, its a private road and any public accessing that private road without landowners permission is tresspassing, am i right? please help

I have a 21 year old daughter with learning disabilities. My ex-wife has sole custody and is my daughters legal guardian. My daughter has had major back surgery, eye surgery, full braces, she was molested by her stepfather a few years ago, she lost her grandparents whom she was very close to. mY DAUGHTER is terrified of anything that has to do with doctors, hospitals or even going for a routine exam. My daughter and I are very close she is the love of my life. Her age is 21 but she is really like a 14 year old. She cannot drive, she wont be able to have a relationship or have children and she really cannot take care of herself. She does no the difference between right and wrong and yes & No. My questions are because she is 21 in a worse case scenario if she needed something like open-heart surgery even if it was to save her but because she is so scared if she said no is that the final answer. I will side with my daughter before my xwife or any doctor. also do they need my OK for that

I feel the war on drugs is a waste of money and is overcrowding our prisons, wasting our taxes, exausting law enforcement making them waste time they could use looking for real criminals.

The drug dealers and politicians are getting rich off of it.

We learned from the prohibition of alcohol and the war on drugs now that prohibition doesnt work.

What we need to do is legalize drugs, tax the hell out of them, and regulate them like cigarrettes and alcohol.

Give education to kids as well good parenting.

Ok well I'm starting my final year grade 12 in september and I'm going tomorrow to change up my classes. Mandatory classes I'm taking are: Eng12, Sociology 12, art 11(need fine arts credit), history 12, math 12. I don't know what other courses would be helpful for me to take in my final year of high school. I can't take any college courses such as: political science and economics. They don't offer those. But ya, what other courses should I take that might help me excel in law? Oh, I have law 12. I live in Canada so, I was thinking to do French 11 and French 12 but I'm not sure if I need those to get into law school.
