I live in Ohio, and am 21. I work almost full-time at 38 hours a week, and I worked an 8 hour shift yesterday that ended at 1am this morning, and I'm supposed to go to a manager meeting at 7 this morning. according to the law, should i get paid overtime? is it based on law (and if so which) or is it based on company policy? please help! i can't find the answer anywhere! :(

The latter seems a far more accurate name, given the widespread corruption with the people running it, with scandal after scandal.

The "lack of" a State mandated setback distance for a runway to be built on or near a property line has been unbelievably ignored for too many years in the State of Michigan. Everything has a setback. You can't put your trees, etc. on another man's land unless he allows you to. How this was overlooked is beyond me. Zero distance for public safety is incomprehensible, and I would like to get some ideas of how to change this so it never happens again.

A great aunt of mine recently passed. I had only heard her name twice in my 41 years, the second time being when I was told of her passing. Her lawyers have sent me a waiver to sign, stating I will not contest her will. No problem there. However, the notary publics want a minimum of $50 just to watch me sign my name and then sign theirs with a stamp. Can I simply write a short letter, in my handwriting and witnessed, stating that I will not, nor ever contest her will?
Will this suffice?

ok heres the deal my situation is quite serious, i was arrested on 3 counts of felony sexual assault for one girl. the accusations against me are completely false and the only proof i got that it didnt happen are on my younger cousins phone. the girl that accused me sent her text messages telling her to tell me that she was sorry and that nothing happened. my cousin locked the text messages on her phone and my question is can those text messages be used in court to help prove my innocence, the embarassment im going through is enough pain for me and my family, so if those werent sent to my phone but to my younger cousin would they still be able to be used? thanks

My husband broke his hip in his job in 2005. He went through a hip fracture fix surgery with three screws permanently stay in his body. The workers compensation company paid his hospital bills and physical therapy. He went back to his job as a stockroom technician half year’s late. He is still in pain, discomfort, walking awkwardly. He lost his flexibility. .

In state Illinois, we have to choose either close the case or keep the case open permanently when hits 3 years after the accident with the workers compensation company. If we agree to close the case, there will be a chance with no medical insurance cover the bill if anything wrong with his hip in the future. If we do not close the case, first, I do not know how difficult to argue that we have to keep the case opened; second, do we really need to do that.

We concern that his hip might broke in the same place again in the future, such as, when he is old, his hip disconnected because of bone losing (will this happen?), or be

An 18 y-o male had sex w/ my daughter when she was 14; I personally spoke to the Ellis Co. DA who made it crystal clear that he didn't want to prosecute because he felt the sex was "consensual." (At the time I was so shocked & out of things that I failed to ask the DA what the age of consent was.) Long story short, she ran away with him to his family's in Mexico. They were apprehended crossing the border almost a year later & the guy was brought before grand jury but no-billed. If I bring up the age issue with the DA can the guy be re-prosecuted even though my daughter is now legal age? There's no way she will testify against him.

Hope someone can help me.
Background:
Living in Ontario
BF was living common-law with someone for 10 years.
One child (daughter) is biolocically his, one (ex's son from another guy) is not his.
They broke up over 3 years ago and dissolved the common law marriage.
He has minimal contact with her son and only sees him when he goes to pick up his daughter (who he does support)

She is now trying to collect Child support from him for her son by another man rather than trying to collect it from his biological father.
Is there a time limit on how long she can wait to put through this type of a request since a) he is not the boys biological father & b) they were not married, only living common law. & c) they haven't been together for 3 years.

Thanks.

I have 2 questions.

1- How do you go about reporting somebody that you think needs to be paying child support? Who do you call?

2- I will be 18 in 11 months, but I am already somewhat living on my own through a transitional living program. I am not happy with the program, and feel that it is only holding me back. Not only that...it's expensive and the money for it is coming out of my college account. I have a car and a job...people willing to sign papers for me...etc. and I want to get emancipated. Where do I start?

Got in an arguement with a very drunk friend...long story short...I went to the cops and they arrested him for simple battery.

So I have had enough of the State of Florida and I am heading back to Georgia.

I do not want to be burdened with this...so I want to drop charges bc I know I am not coming back for court or anything else for that matter.

How do I go about doing this...What step do I need to take?
