My ex-wife used the county prosecuting attorney as her divorce attorney. She has not to date complied with any of the judges orders and the prosecuting attorney will do nothing to her. To add insult to injury i was on Missouri's case.net looking at a case when i seen my name and a order for modification granted to her. She filed for sole custody and supervised visitation and it was granted even tho i have never done anything wrong. What she and her attorney did was file saying they did not know where i was even tho she has been to my house several times and also knows my phone number. They posted the hearing in her local paper in the next county over about the hearing. I do not live in that county or get its paper. She committed perjury by saying she did not where i was but again he will not prosecute her for perjury because he is her attorney also and her decree was granted. Is there any thing i can do. I am a disabled vet and live on a fixed income and cannot afford an attorney. HELP

My job suspended me for almost a month before telling me what I did. During my time off they threw a rumor that I sexual harrass a guard on the job. The guard lied on me but it had nonthing to do with sexual harrassment. After going to my union twice, my job tried to posion them against me. I kept calling them (job) and they finially told me in bits what I was acuse of improiate convo about my family to a guard who told me about his naked girlfriend. They never gave me a chance to defend myself. They paid me for the days I was off and cut my days down for the next schedule.Ive been at this job for almost 8 years and this guard less than 1 month. After my boss paid me, he told me he hopes this doesn't get to his boss or we can all lose our jobs. He assure me that there was no write up in my forder. He told me since he paid me there was no need for me to keep my union meeting. All this does not excuse the fact I feel humiliate, belittle and embarass. Then they cut my days.

OMG Some1 made post that was exactly my problem but no really helpful answers, how would you solve this:


BK Chapter 7 no-assets legal help please!!!!!?
If the courts go back 3 months on one of my credit cards they will see I incurred $500 a month in eating out costs. I heard that if you spend more than $500 on luxuries during those three months, the BK won't go through, is this true?

Background info: I have been mentally disabled with OCD, bipolar, and binge eating disorder and have been living on SSI for the past 7 years. Since I haven't been able to pay my share of rent to my boyfriend/roommate, he said I could pay it when I get a job but asked I buy all groceries and make meals.
*Since my depression and anxiety, I have trouble sleeping and wake up late. When he gets home, he has to often go to band practice or some other music related event and wants something to eat, so I usually end up charging food.

He bought 1/2 lb of live maggots from a fishing tackle shop, put them in an open envelope and posted them through the cafe's letter box after it closed. To anyone watching he was simply posting a letter. He then squirted superglue in the lock. By the time a locksmith got the door open next day, the maggots were everywhere. The cafe was closed for a week.
Moral of the story. Be nice to people.

When this happened there were two witnesses that agreed to our supervisor the they did this. I reported it the next day and this person got fired. Other people have come forward to say she has done the same thing to them.. I have been getting nose bleeds and feeling ill every day since. What should I do?

I'm not one to pull the race card for many things but how else would you describe the comment .."well you know her kind".. two weeks ago she went in my hiring file to determine if I had a degree (which I do) and discovered that there was a charge that was dropped in 2001. She shared that info about me to other employees. Is that against the law? Mind you, I worked with autistic children. It was a Domestic Violence charge but I was the one violated. It was dropped once this was established,however it's still on my record (as dropped). I could not work there without proof of this. I was told by my immediate supervisor to be careful of her because she said that she didnt like me "for some reason". all in all I was still respectful but I'm not phoney! In the end we had some intense fellowship, to say the least, that resulting in my getting fired. Getting fired I can handle, her comment of ..look at your ghetto nails..this is long overdue" caked it for me. Is there anything I can do?

I owe him the money, but am having problems financially. I will pay him the money, but cannot at this time. I don't know what to do. I am sorry that a supposed friendship has ended like this and I wish I hadn't agreed to sell the stuff for the guy, but now he is threatening me with "I will be forced to take action". Any suggestions?

In a town near where I live they are removing all of the playgrounds because there are a couple kids that got hurt and their parents sued. The playground was not broken, the children were just not being safe. Do you think that the parents should have the right to sue and have all the playgrounds removed if the playground wasnt at fault for the injury?

My church small group discovered that I am very opposed to their political beliefs. This strangly has become well known to everyone and I keep getting confronted by people about it. The preacher came to my house today and said he was disappointed and that I may not be welcomed at his church. I have been a member for over 12 years. I'm elderly and wheel chair bound. Many members of the church help with house chores. Without them I don't think I could manage. The preacher said that there services will no longer be availble. Is this illegal?

I live in Michigan and I am thinking about taking a company to small claims court that is based in Las Vegas. I am just wondering if I will have to go to Vegas to do this, or if they will have to come here? Also, does anyone know how much this will cost me, and if the person who loses has to pay court costs?

I am a Sheriff's officer, so part of the job. Off duty I do as well. I have a big priority on my own time to assist Blacks who have broken down, run out of gas or the like. Why? In those rare cases where it was me needing help, it was always a Black that stopped to help me. Sometimes with their family along. Worst problem I ever ran into was a woman complaining I was scratching her bumper with the jack while changing her tire. Not for everyone perhaps, but I have no fears. 45 years of this and nothing bad yet.

I also pick up hitchhikers. Can't stand seeing them in the rain. I have frequently got them a meal in a sit down restaurant and even bought them a bus ticket to Eugene, Portland, Reno or Las Vegas. Also, never a bad incident. I am an athiest. If something bad is going to happen it can as easily happen safely at home.

So my husband was working about 38 hours a week as a service writer at an auto shop. He had an accident on 10/20 that caused him to miss work for 9 days. He had a doctors note saying that he needed light duty until 11/5. Well, he went back yesterday and was handed his last paycheck and was told he was no longer needed. Is this legal? We live in CA.

Consider:
There is a promise of performance.
There is a quid pro quo, the votes for the performance.
If there is a failure in the performance, shouldn't there
be recourse?

It would certainly make an interesting class action suit.
It would be an interesting and very democratic
additional 'check and balance`.

With the Elections coming up, any thoughts?
