Law & Ethics - November 2007

there are a bunch of kids in my neighborhood that are always coming on my front lawn and sometimes climb on our tree. they have no respect at all for our property. we do not have any children here so there is no reason for them to come on my property for anything. we are working on getting a fence around the property. until we do......is that considered trespassing and if i call the cops will they actually do anything about it?

My dad has a friend that met a foreign family at Walmart. The family was about $15 short on their money to pay for their groceries and the friend offered to pay it. The family waited outside for her and told her that they didn't have any money to pay her back but since she was so nice, they would give her a bit of advice and the advice was Don't drink Coke products after November 9th. Spooky or made up?

Many people have complained about a particular woman that seems to think that the lack of normal hygiene can be obviated by large doses of perfume.
I have talked to her about it but backed off when she threatened to sue me based on ADA rules that protect her from any company interference regarding her physical disposition.
Now I worry about a number of employees suing me because of the horrendous odor she exudes all day.

Bryan and Kelly have been married for five years. Both work, and each earns about $30,00o per year. They have problems paying their bills and often fight over money. One day, Kelly goes shopping and charges groceries, clothes for the children, and a VCR costing over $500.00. Bryan gets angry and tells Kelly that he is not paying for anything.

Questions
Is Bryan responsible for the debts of his wife?

Suppose Bryan was out of work and charged the previously mentioned items without telling his wife. Would she have to pay?

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: "husbands should be required to support their wives, but wives should not have to support their husbands"? Explain why you feel this way?

Our situation is this, my fiance and I have lived in our new rental property for almost 2 months, and we are planning to move out because we have both been having allergy problems due to the mold that is growing outside of the house, we are unsure if there is mold inside the house itself, but we have to keep the windows closed and the air on because we cannot breathe when we our outside, especially when it rains, and we our wondering if we can break our lease, becasue the landlord is planning on taking us to court due the contract agreement we had originally signed. We are also having problems with the water system, and have had pest problems from before we actually moved into the rental property. These are all problems that were supposed to have been fixed BEFORE we moved into the rental property. Can You Help Us.............

If someone is selling sports articles that were proven not to be signed by the players, what legal method is available to stop them?

Ebay likes to ignore these and claim no responsibility but there must be an outside organization that stops people from selling misrepresented items to uninformed people.

I can get my money back through a filing with paypal or my credit card but I'd like to stop this person from preying on hundreds of others.

Thanks

Well this guy who is a friend of the family gave me some money for a car and I have been have been repaying but have been feeling very uncomfortable because everytime I go to the house he makes sexual advances towards me...I ask him to come get the money in place where I am comfortable giving him it at, but he always makes excuses on why he cant come pick it up, or that he is extremely busy, but I don't believe it because he is retired. So what should I do about this situation?
