My grandma and granddaddy gave my mom a bedroom suite belonging to my grandaddy's mother over 10 years ago. They brought it to her house and dropped it off, saying they knew it would be taken care of. My granddaddy had a stroke 6 months ago. My grandma and mom got into an argument resulting in grandma and my mom not talking. My grandma has sent a note saying she wants the furniture back or she is taking a warrant out on my mom. If there is anyone with a legal background, what can be done? If the furniture has to be returned is there anything wrong with asking for storage fees for the last 10 years?? Any help is appreciated!

Is it legal for a person to hire me to collect a dept from somebody that he/she has lent it to?

Basically I would be requesting money by send letter / giving an occational phone call.

Somebody mentioned harrasment, if I do it durring day time hours, and do not keep calling the person a million times, can it really be harasment?

My employer sued me for breaching a contract. (I had 3 years to serve but since I terminated early I need to pay certain amount as written in the contract).

I have grounds for not paying them and I have sent my response to the court thru my attorney.

So the question is, since I cannot afford the amount, what will be the worse that will happen to me granting if the court's decision will be in favor of the employer?

Will I be imprisoned or will my credit be destroyed?

to my son when it is spelled out in the custody documents that I am allowed to speak with my son by phone 15 minutes every day? Also, he does not inform me or allow me the opportunity to attend doctor appointments. He does not consult with me prior to signing him up for extra-curricular activities. All of these are clearly stated in our custody papers that he is to do. Many, many things he is in contempt of court for. Is there any recourse? We have joint legal & physical custody & we share an almost 50/50 time arrangement if that helps.

1. Do you pay a court fee if you sue someone?
2. Is it a percentage of the amount your suing for or is it a set rate?
3. Do you get it back if you win the case?

Please answer ALL 3 questions.
Thank you in advance.

For church, we display worship song lyrics with an lcd projector. The words are superimposed over a photo, usually a nice serene nature scene.

What would be the copyright laws involved in using photographs found on the web for this purpose? Do I need the expressed written consent of each photographer? (and on the web the photographer might not even be listed) Does copyright law even come into affect since the display of these images provides no profit?

Thanks.


note: I'm also an avid amateur photographer myself, so I definitely feel for the rights of photographers

This is the guy who stole a 52 cent doughnut from a store and is now going to be tried for a felony assault because a woman from the store grabbed him outside the store and he ran away. She is claiming that he pushed her.

The guy has a string on convictions with no violent acts recorded.

Looks like the only witness to the alleged attack is a woman who chased a guy down in her car for a 52 cent doughnut, which I think is excessive. She claims the guy hit her before running away.

In my experience in marital arts people generally pull away from a grab, they do not generally move into a grab unless trained and if this guy had been trained he probably would have had more violent convictions.

So what do you think, toss a guy in prison to spend 30 years for stealing 52 cents worth of bread?

ow i have to pay back money, i am appealing the temp agency. Due to lack of work, Umemployment is saying i did not actively seek work, but i turned in a job search sheet. What are my chances? Also after not having any work for 3 weeks again, the temp agency called. Why do they wait so long? Also they told me(unemployment) that i have to pay back the amount i was given! When offered a job through this temp agency they told me i would be at my job for awhile also it was temp to hire. Both did not happen. I called them a week in advance for more work. They never responded. So i filed for unemployment. Wrote out my job search sheet, and called them 1 time a week. The lady at unemployment said did they have you sign any sheets for when you need to call them? I said no. I waited a week and then received a letter saying i was denied my claims. Are temp agencies this hard to claim against when they dont give you work and also lie about temp to hire?

Hubby works nights for which time I have to have a carer. He does not have the oppurtunity or luxury to strike. For those of you that do not know, we do not get free anything for me being diasabled. But we prefer that Hubby earns a living rather than claiming it all back in benefits. I am currently waiting for a hospital letter regarding an operation. With the postal strike it is easier to phone the hospital. Do they not realise that post is not the only form of communication? If Hubby could get a job with the post office it would boost our money substantially, but alas, he has to continue to work for a very low wage.

I've been renting a house with my wife now for about 1 1/2 years. My wife though has been living here for a little over 7-8 years. She has 2 children, the oldest is 7, and we have a new born that is going to be 1 this Christmas. The house that we live in, is probably close to 60-70 years old and is very run down. I painted the inside of the house living room, bedrooms and bathroom myself about 1 year ago. I am an amatuer, just used basic coat of paint to cover up scratches and filled in holes. My wife said that her and her family painted it themselves also about 6 years ago, also an amatuer job, basic coat cover up. I suspect that the original paint in this house, throughout is lead based. I feel that the landlord/Owner has never fixed anything of original condition. If I find out that My wife and her kids have been living here in a lead and mold environment for 7yrs "kids", since birth and me for almost 3yrs. Can I sue them for not complying when state laws changed for lead paint?

Top Ten Reasons to Keep Gay Marriage Illegal

01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all like many of the principles on which this great country was founded; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of marriages like Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

Can I represent my father in small claims court, so that he does not have to travel? A former friend of ours owes my father money, and I want to take her to small claims. She lives more than 5 hours away from my dad and that too far for him to travel to court. I realize that if we have to file the lawsuit in the venue where the person we are filing against, resides. Anyone know? We have tried mediation for over a year, and are running out of time to process the suit. I just want her to pay for the money she owes my dad. He's on a fixed income and has health issues. She really burned her bridge with us and ruined a good friendship.

There is one thing to consider however. I'm collecting unemployment (I quit my job because they moved.) If I take the job and hate it, then I can't collect anymore..(unless there is some rule.)

Any advice?
