he found it, i guess i droped it and he said some other person found it and asked him if he lost any money, when he said yes the person gave it to him. since he now knows who's money it is, is there any law that will make him give it back to the origenal owner?

This isn't homework. I promise :-) I'm just trying to settle an argument. Two of my friends are arguing about child support. One says that child support is governed by federal law, and the other says child support issue is left to the states. I'm rather clueless, but I always thought that there are "main" federal child support mandates but that a great deal of flexibility is left to the states to create their own laws as long as they don't violate any of the federal laws. So which is it? Do you have any links to proof so I can shut these two up? LOL!

Thanks.

My son is suspended from school for 7 days (6, after today) for breaking multiple school rules, like skipping, doing drugs and posessing alcohol.

I did a "drug check" in his room and found more drugs then I could count & put them in 3 shoe boxes. There were pills, pot, crystal meth, cigarettes, alcohol and much more.

The cigarettes he may have gotten from me, but I don't drink and certainly don't do illegal drugs!

What do I do with them? How do I properly dispose of them? Do I take them to the police? If I do, will they arrest my son? I really need to know...I don't want 3 Nike shoe boxes of illegal drug paraphernalia under my bed!

A friend of mine was a victim of a hate crime in a restaurant. The restaurant did not call an ambulance or even attempt to help and he was passed out inside for several hours before he woke up and called his sister. He needed staples and is taking Vicodin because his skull is cracked. His parents are suing the chain, and I want to start a boycott for him of this restaurant. How do you go about starting one up?

People who use drugs need help, not thrown in prison. And why are tobacco and alcohol legal (they are drugs too) and kill tens of thousands of people, yet legally we consider the use of marijuana to be criminal. I am not advocating drug use, just pointing out maybe we should not worry so much about "the war on drugs" and consentrate on catching true criminals.

Roe vs.Wade Survivor here. I don't understand how liberals can be such hypocrites. They always pretend to be soooo worried about the children yet they support slaughtering 1.5 million of them per year in the US alone. That's 4,109 abortions every day. PLEASE PLEASE don't pretend to care about children until you get rid of abortion!

I became friends with this guy out here in Wichita, Kansas when I moved from NJ. I trusted him because I thought he was my friend. He "helped" me into buying a truck in which I paid $2500 for and the truck was only worth $1000 because it was really a piece of junk. The truck kept giving me problems so I wanted to get rid of it. My friend said he could put a little work into the truck and get it sold for me and just split what it sells for 50/50 between us. So he put a couple hundred dollars into the truck to make it look a bit better. I signed my title and gave it to him because he found a buyer in which he sold it for $1200. Now I know signing my title to him freely was a mistake, but I trusted him and figured he would give me my half of the pay. He didn't and moved to Kansas City. He does not return my calls, he outright robbed me. Please tell me that if I took him to court that I have a chance of getting my $600. Tell me what I can do to help me to get it. Thanks.

My divorce Attorney did nothing for me but charge me an outragious bill, when I first went for counciltation I was told that my attorney would be $2,500 and now it is up to $5,000 and they just keep sending me things of what they are doing in the office and I have no idea what is going on and I don't seen no evidence of what they are doing other than charging me money, this is very unfair and seems like a racatair. I really appreciate any ones help.

1. Does anybody know how much the ticket will probably cost?
2. If she goes to traffic school does she then not have to pay the ticket?
3. Would her traffic school fees be more than or way less than the cost of the ticket?

Thanks!

I think dog fighting and rooster /c*ck fighting is cruel just as many people do, BUT yet we will lure 18 year olds right out of high school to go to war in Iraq for the big oil companies and defense contractors, even though our lawmakers say that 18 year olds are too young to make the choice to smoke tobacco or drink whiskey. It is legal to become a porn actor at age 18 which is FAR too young to make that choice in my opinion. I mean they are not smart enough be trusted with cigarettes or alcohol right, so how can an 18 year old be mature enough to choose to be in porn movies? They pay through the nose for car insurance because they are too immature right?
Campaign contributions from the porn industry, hollywood, and large companies involved is what it is all about isn't it? Am I wrong? Men can beat eachother's heads in at boxing. We can imprison baby calves from birth to death in dark barns for tender veal. Look up what is done to get veal and tell me that is not evil as hell.

My employer has occasional mood swings and isn't easily approachable. Myself and other staff agree that she is imtimidating. We often work 10-12 hour shifts with no breaks and i believe that it is of her opinion that the staff will take no action, due the young age and naivity of the workforce.
Today after a ten hour shift i was told i could finish by the assistant manager, yet upon leaving the person in question challenged me on why i was leaving. I explained that the assistant manager had let me finish, and that i didn't realise i should have asked her permisson, to which she replied "stop being a sarcastic tw*t" This was in front of an audience of other employees and not only did she insult me she also undermined and embarassed the assistnant manager. similar Incidents have happened like this on other occasions and I am starting to wonder how to take legal action against this control freak of a boss? PLEASE HELP

Since the Ameican taxpayer is paying for your babies, your medical, education, affirmative action, paying no property taxes and driving our streets with no insurance just say thank you. It will not help much but would be the civil thing to do.
