Law & Ethics - August 2007

Custody orders are for children to fly back to Florida to live with their father. They are 15 & 16 years & refuse to get on plane. Small detail- father is in violation of court order by having them leave from different airport then is ordered. I need to find case studies where children @ 15 & 16 were able to refuse to get on plane. Please help

Not sure if anyone has personal experience with my problem or may know a great place to look into this. I live in Missouri and have only recently moved here. My problem is where I live the parking is horrendous! It angers me because I live in a building that has four town houses. We have been here the longest and all three of our new neighbors have been here a month or so. Well, in front of our building are six parking spaces for the four homes. This one new couple (who have only one car for the two of them) have friends over every weekend (sometimes week days) and will take up three of the six spaces and we (my and my boyfriend) as well as the other neighbors (who we've spoken to about this) have to park across the street! I don't know if there is a law that I can have them towed or if I can confront the manager about this. Is there a law on having parking rights? Since we moved in the managers have said, Oh we'll mark everyone a personal spot, etc but nothing has happened! Any ideas?

I live in Kitchener-Ontario-Canada, and I have been employed at a convinience store. I was accused of stealing money via the lotto machines and when I attempted to ask my boss for proof he threathened me with police. I cant let this go on my record (I might not get a job after if I do) and do not wish to involve police, but still wish to have some of my dignity back. how do I deal with this?
I want to prove to him and my neighbhors I'm not a thief, but I'm eighteen and on my own and if i ruin my record now, i will not be able to get a job and make my payments. However if I do not solve this the other tenants will vote to have me thrown out.

Please help, urgent.

Note: If I have to I will involve the police, I did nothing wrong.
Contact me using my email.

My ex-gf of 4 years took my daughter and moved to Georgia a month after we broke up.
It's been more than a year since they moved. I saw my daughter only 3 times for about an hour each time. My ex will not let me have my daughter, eventhough we mutually agreed to share custody before we broke up. My ex is from Indiana where my daughter is born, and where I currently reside. Her whole family lives in Indiana. She has no relatives in Georgia, but she lives with some desperate looser who finally found a way to get laid. Basically her move to Georgia is a way to run away to keep physical custody of our daughter. Her driver licence is suspended with a $7,000 lien from an accident with no insurance. She is also a drug addict and alcoholic. Knowing that these facts will hurt her chances in court, she took off to Georgia to live with her friend. Then her friend introduced her to her actual roomate/boyfriend. On the other hand I am a full time student with basically very little money. As a student I can't move from state to state because I will loose some of my financial aid and my tuition will also be raised.
My questions:
What can I do to get primary custody of my daughter beside hiring a lawyer?
Where can I find forms for custody?
Where can I find help for custody?
Also can a phone recording where my ex is claiming to use drugs be evidence in court?

In 2005 in CA I herniated a disc in my lower back at work.And after a few months I had a doctors release and was out of physical therapy. In 2006 the workmans comp called after I had moved to MI and said they wanted to buy out future claims for $10,000. I ended up getting a lawyer out of California who originally was going to get me a doctors appt in California to try and up my chance of getting something more since my impairment was 0%. (No doctors in michigan will work under california law for this apparently) Well I got a call today from my lawyer saying they would rather throw me the $5000 they would spend on flying me out just for a doctors appt. So after attorney fees I'm looking at $12,750... according to my lawyer they base this on "Present value" so he said I could take the money and invest it in case something happens or to go ahead and fly out there and risk them not finding anything else and getting the $8000 after attorneys fees.... Anyone have experience with this?

We live in Florida. The house is owned by my best friends Grandmother whom lives in Ohio. Her grandson, his girlfriend, and I are living on one side of the house. There is a shared kitchen in the middle of the house that we keep locked. The guy selling the drugs is also one of the home owner's grandsons. We have talked to the Owner on the phone and she refuses to believe that he would even smoke pot because she thinks hes a good kid etc. His mother (owner's daughter) is the acting land lord since she lives in town, she basically installed her kid in our house without asking us because he was selling pot out of her house, so she dumped her problem off on us, she refuses to get involved. He is smoking in the house, and we can smell it coming thru the ac vents. But the major problem is the amount of drug addicts coming in and out of our house. It is surely obvious to neighbors that this is a drug house. And we had a car burglarized already, presumably by one of his customers(was reported)

last night, I was on the highway and I was driving about 58-65, very cautious because the week beforehand I had recieved my first speeding ticket in close to 10 years of driving.

All of a sudden, an undercover car pulls me over. He comes up kind of upset saying "You don't know why I pulled you over tonight?". He asked for my license and when I went to get it he said "Don't kill yourself".

He basically didn't like the fact that I had boxes in my car (I was moving) and I told him I was going back to where I was moving too and I had been overtired because of the busy week I had and the little sleep I was getting and wanted to take care of some things.

He explained that the reason he had pulled me over was because I was "on top of my brake" (I was scared about getting pulled over again because in Taxachusetts they are always out there) and that my speeds (while not speeding by anymeans) kept fluctuating and he was concerned I w

I have to go to court tomorrow for a dispute with my landlord.

The property that we rent from him is supposed to have central A/C the unit has been broken since we moved in (January). We addressed this with him in May and have tried to settle this amicably and given ample amount of time.

At the beginning of August we sent a letter stating that we take this as him breaking the lease and that we are withholding rent and would be out within 30 days.

We are now goign to court tomorrow because he is going after our rent money that we withheld. We have since filed a counter claim on why and what we want (our rent for the months we were without A/C)

Has anyone ever been in a situation like this before? What is there that I can expect? I'm nervous and hoping that this comes out in our favor. Any advice?

Ok so I moved into my apartment and the gas was already turned on. The bill was in the old tenants name and not in the home owners name. A shut off notice showed up months ago, but it is still on and no bill or notice has showed up again. If the gas company catches this(which I'm sure they will) who will be held responsible? Me(the current tenant), the home owner, or the past tenant?

An ex girlfriend of mine, still a friend, got pregnant will a very abusive person. She plans to secretively abort the 4 week pregnancy and tell everyone that she miscarriaged. I have no idea what will happen after that. Her now ex b/f calls her work non-stop harrassing her co-workers about giving him information or else.

Right now, I fear for her safety. This person from what I hear from her dad is very screwed up. What should she do about taking care of this? How do you get someone to stop calling you at work?

Also, what are the legal ramifications about not telling the "father" that you aborted the pregnancy?

Thanks.

Several parents using my local YMCA for their kids' after school care are having problems getting the school board and department of transportation to make an exception on our behalf because we only need the school bus to take the kids from this one school to the Y after school because the Y is only open after school. The transportation department will only approve a bus route if it is for both before and after school. How can I word this effectively? We are only talking about one bus picking up several kids making one pick up and one drop offin the afternoon.

My family and I were victims of a home invasion where weapons were used and property was stolen and destroyed. A next door neighbor was an accessory to the crime and other neighbors witnessed the attack and did nothing to help, not even call the police. We decided to cooperate with the police and four assailants have been identified, arrest warrants issued and one has been caught. Needless to say my family and I are living in fear as retaliation is a very real possibility. Also given the the neighbor's involvment we don't feel safe on the block. For peace of mind and safety concerns we feel it would be best to move. My landlords owns many other properties & I have asked to relocated at my expense to one of those but have yet to receive a response. Under the circumstances would I have a legal right to terminate my lease once another home was secured.
