My boyfriend just got his 1st job out of law school and is hosting a dinner at his condo for one of his boss (who are somewhat younger, maybe mid 30's). I know he's making some fancy salmon dish for dinner. I actually am an attorney as well so i'm going to have a very small amount of time to both get ready and/or prepare dessert. Please help...

Urine Tests

Like a lot of folks in this state I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test, with which I have no problem. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test.
Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check? I have to pass one to earn it for them ???

Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do on the other hand have a problem with helping someone sitting on their @ss. Could you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check ???

About 5 years back, one advocate represented the society and was paid 15k. This society filed a case against the President thro gen sec according to bye law to sue n be sued by gen sec. Now the very same advocate is representing the President in individual capacity. Can I file for code of misconduct against the advocate or can I raise objection that the advocate knows more about the society bcos of having represented the society and hence cannot reprsent the President?? Needless to say Yahoo Answers service ppl are putting much more sense in us. Pls advice me once again as to under what section can I raise the objection or how strong is it for misconduct by the advocate?

Your victim is at home watching television alone. You carry out you crime and drop one of his tissues / cigarettes / pens etc
at the crime scene. The police are busy. The evidense is conclusive. The fact that the peson has no previous criminal history is not relevant. We are all on the data base and the latest crime is DNA planting. The criminal goes free. What do you think?

Can I sue?
Was looking ast going to go to certain to of profession. I currently work in a profesion that hates this people in it. I didnt do well on the nesseary graduate school test as I had hoped. However a family friend who also works in the profesion told everyone I was wanted to be this type of profesion. Told my ex-boss and other people. I ended up swithcing jobs but staying in the industry. If my current boss heres the rumor and trys to fire me can't I sue my family friend for slander and the company I work for. Because the event hasnt happened it detremiental to my work the rumor of me going back to school and to potential future earnings in this industry. It would be slander under common law as i understand it correct?

I was wondering if anyone has any information on how to go about obtaining a document that would voluntarily terminate a father's rights to his child in the state of Florida? It is a difficult situation and much too extreme to begin to discuss on here, although my ex is interested in releasing his rights and starting a new family with his new wife. In looking out for the best interests of my child, I am trying to find information/documentation on how to go about doing this. Is there a petition that he can sign stating he is releasing his rights? He is in the US military at this time and going through an attorney will be a complicated and expensive procedure. Any way we can establish this between the two of us civilly and legally without involving an attorney? If anyone has any links to some documentation that would be a great help!! Thanks!

I have a son, the result of a one night -stand, very mutual...The mother didn't contact me to tell me she was even pregnant, I imagine she just wants my money now, since I got a paternity test order through child support div. But I actually do want to be a part of his life. He is 9 mo already and I haven't ever seen him. I have only known about him for a couple of months now. I have no contact info on the mother anymore. Okay, so I have agreed to pay child support, but how about some kind of visitation. I have no money for an atterney, so how do I file a petition for visitation through the court myself? Like where do I find the forms, or do I have to have a lawyer to do this? Not what is best, but by law, can I petition myself? Could I hand write one and have it notarized? And don't judge me, I already have two kids who I am fully involved with, my kids mean everything to me, it shouldn't matter how they were concieved!

I'll try to be brief. I live in university apartments and i have been forced out of 2 units now because of the AC units seem to be linked and my neighbors use foul smelling cooking odors. I have gone thru my chain of command (manager, supervisor, vice president of housing, etc) and nobody wants to touch the issue because the offending people pay 3 times what i pay in university costs.

I feel this is reverse descrimination. they are letting a group of people torture me and not allowing me to "peaceful enjoyment" of my unit as per my lease. Has there ever been a case like this and if not, do you think it would stand up in court (I live in texas if that matters) ?

They know about the problem and won't fix the issue. for 9 months we've been suffering with a horrid overwhelming stench of liver, onions, curry and god knows what else.

These issues give me migraine headaches, nausea and my husband's allergies are going crazy. we can't use our AC unit or it will only exacerbate the prob.

If christians are mainly the only ones wanting to ban homosexual marraige and the government makes a law, wouldn't that be going against the first amendment. for the first amendment states, regarding religion, that the Government may not make any law respecting any religious establishment. So if the Government makes a law banning same sex marraiges wouldn't they be respecting the christian religion?

How do I break up with him.Should I be afraid?What should I do about this?I tried to break up again just now!?
I met a man online in June of this year.We started out fine...but slowly..things have changed.Alot of it is my fault.I have told him four times since June that we are not good for one another.Then he starts saying things like " But we love each other!" "I love you!" "You love me, lets work this out!" Then I start to feel bad and sad...and so..I stay.I noticed that he has a BAAAD temper.He got angry a few weeks ago and punched the wall.
We got into an argument at a resturaunt and he said to me " You are acting like such a ****!" ) :
Last week I decided to just ignore his calls.I thought that he would just give up and leave me alone.I was hoping that maybe he would just meet a really BEAUTIFUL woman and forget about me. I did not answer his calls for three days.He ended up Googleing my street address and got directions.He was at my door ringing the doorbell. He was saying " Sweetie where have you been I have been so worried. I thoughtr something happened to you!" I feel sooo bad.
