Nothing illeagel or inappropriate, just clearly unnessessary for the child and expensive. Lets pretend it is a body lotion.

A minor comes in a store and buys a lotion that is $70. the child later comes back with parent and the parent has a fit with the store clerk because a no refund policy.

Whos right and whos wrong? the parent or the store clerk?

I'm curious to what other people think of this. In my personal opinion, I don't see why it is illegal and believe it should be legalized. It is just like alcohol, it has all of the same effects except you cannot over dose on it. So in a sense it is actually safer than alcohol! People use marijuana to try and forget whats going on around them, to become numb, and partially stupid, to jut get into a better mood; just as anyone who uses alcohol does. So why is it illegal? What do you think?

My husband and I recently separated. We live in NJ. We have a 2 year old son and I've been a stay-at-home mom since he was born. I'm currently seeking employment but as of yet no job. If this goes to court, I want to fight for full legal and sole custody because I think my husband is unfit. He also has an impressive criminal record (nothing new in the last almost 3 years though). He almost never played with or took care of his son while we were together and now I think he will want to fight for joint custody to avoid paying child support and to have power over me. I'm having mutual friends documenting their observations of him as a dad (not too good), and having them signed and notarized. He barely makes time to see his son now that we're apart and until my son is old enough to decide for himself, I want custody. With or without a job, what are my chances? Also, I can't afford a lawyer. What legal help can I get if we go to court? Any advice would help. Thanks.

I paid this lawyer to represent me in a case that he sent his secretary or who ever she said she was. She said he was at another trial, when he could have told me this when I paid him money for him to be there. Should I ask for a refund or see if he showed up on my next court date or what?

Regarding the shooting of a cop in Pompano, Florida...
1. He shot a cop (sheriff's officer). 2. 1 or more witnesses SAW him shoot a cop. 3. He said he shot a cop. 4. He is already serving 2 life-sentences in jail (he was on the way to a doctor when he shot the cop, the cop was taking him there in a van). 5. He get's arrested - again, and a Public Defender lawyer is assigned to the case.

OK, you, as the Lawyer, knowing that this is an IMPOSSIBLE person to give any kind of defense too, do you look at your boss and say "are you mad at me today?" Or you just grab the file folder and go to visit your client?

I just really want to know peoples opinions on this...for and against!!!

Every single day when i read the paper the crimes that people are comitting become more and more heinous.....Why dont we have the death penalty in england can anyone justify to me why people like ''ian huntley'' deserve to live after what theyve done and not just this sick animal these things are happening far too often....Recently i read and article about a man who beat his girlfriend to death with a mallett and then ate her and he got 12 years is prison i mean plz can someone justify this to me!

With forensic science these days mistakes are rarely made!

And surely bringing back the death penalty would solve the overcrowding problem we have with our prisons lol

I ordered a plasma television online.
The television was delivered on the 30/05/07
A few days after a second television was delivered!! The first was signed for by my girlfriend the second was signed for by myself. I was the name on the order.
Needles to say i was over the moon, I held on to the two TV's untill one week ago (some 6 months after origionally delivered) where i sold it to one of my work friends, thinking that the matter was well and truley forgotton about.
All was good untill today when the company phoned to say that they had delivered two by mistake and wanted to know where the other one was?

My question is where do i stand legally?
Can the company chase something that happened so long ago?
If so and i manage to get the Tv back, can i charge them a rediculous storage fee, to hopefully deter them from pursuing me further?
Or should i just deny all knowledge?

Legal advice, on where i stand would be vastly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Am I the only one who thinks that more and more companies are being corrupted by the people they choose to put in charge? FOr example, I was a regional manager for a transportation company that had 2 drivers get killed with in a year. The truth is that the drivers were way over their hours of service and had no business being behind the wheel but their regional manager told them that if they didn't drive they would be fired. Amazingly enough after they were killed their log books came up missing and so did the records of any hauls they had done. Both their families are currently suing this company. I left because I couldn't stand the whole attitude of "This is what the law tells us but we are going to do it our way." attitude.

The parent, whether solvent or insolvent, may relinquish to the child
the right of controlling the child and receiving the child's earnings.
Abandonment by the parent is presumptive evidence of such
relinquishment.

All my co-workers liked & respected me
I really worked hard and for longer hours than I suppose to do, expecting nothing in return.

Being good in my job, and being liked by most of the co-workers, made my boss feel very uncomfortable, he started to hate me, I could feel it... so, he didn't renew my contract.. I did accept it. I did work soooo hard till my minutes there. In my last meeting with my bass, I found no reason to show or tell him how unfair he was to me..so I told him in a very polite and decent way how grateful I am for giving me the chance to work for this esteemed Co. and that I will always be there for them if they ever needed me... by nature, I hate to hate... I always prefer to have as less enemies as ever possible...

A few days ago one of my clients (also a friend) went to the Co. and was very badly treated by my ex-boss, he humiliated him even... and on top of that he told him in front of some employees that I made lots of mistakes which he is trying to correct !!!!
Is that fair????
Do I have any legal rights?
Can I sue him?
Please advise

I put my ex on my cell phone bill as a extension of my line, and we just recently broke up. He said that he will not "screw me" on the bill, but everytime he has said he was going to come up and meet me to pay me some money, he never calls or shows! I disconnected his line, so he can't call anyways! Haha! But anyways, he has left me one message on MySpace saying that he could meet with me last Sunday, and never showed or called... Legally, do I have a leg to stand on?
