I was served a citation in a probate case which means I have to appear before the judge TOMORROW and provide an explanation as to why I didnt file something that was ordered by the court.
Im not sure I can provide an adequate explanation without first seeking legal advice. I cannot afford to hire a lawyer?
How should I proceed?

i understand that once you are 18 you are already a legal adult, in which you already depend on yourself, which means your parents are no longer responsable for maintaining you, and cannot be forced by law,
but, does an 18 year old have to obey the parents law if he still lives with them?
like if his/her parents say, he/she cannot go there, does he have to obey?

but what if an 18 year old does not agree with the house/parets rules, what should the 18 year old do?

In about a year and a half when I graduate high school, I plan on taking a trip to Hawaii for most of the summer to visit my boyfriend and his family. I know that ferrets are illegal in Hawaii, but would it be permissible to bring them for a visit, given that they have up-to-date rabies vaccinations, kept indoors at all times and I have their health certificates, other paperwork, etc.? I can't find information anywhere on the internet, or even a place where I can send my inquiry by e-mail. Of course, if told I could by proper authorities, I would wish to obtain written permission just so I do not run into any trouble. Though I doubt I can bring my two ferrets with me, I think it would be awesome if they could come, and I want to make sure, either that they can or can't.


Note: I already know all about airline regulations regarding this issue, so there is no need to mention it. I just need to know if I can bring my two ferrets to Hawaii for a vacation.

Thank you. =)

Mike tells Bob about the crime. Mike dies, and Bob is ordered to testify to provide evidence. What I'm trying to go for is hearsay, but if Mike is dead, would that be an exception? Can the state/Crown object to this?

If you have some case law (preferably Canadian, if not, that's cool too), that would be even better. Thanks in advance.

I rent equipment to the studios. It's a new business located in Los Angeles County.. However I have been stiffed on a few invoices. I have a p.o. and contact info for the producer and company but what can I do to get these deadbeats to pay up? Can I put a lien or other legal action with out costing too much money? I don't want to invest too much chasing these slime bags down. Or do we just write off the loss in taxes? Any resource to get the deadbeat company's name out there so they don't screw any more people? Thank you so much.

Companies find any loophole they can not to pay on claims and never hold a cash value. Not only that you could pay over $800 a month and not be able to cancle if you are forced to sign a contract. At the end of paying all that money if you loose your job you have nothing to fall back on so why have insurance at all ? It seems to me you would do better if you could put that $800 a month in your pocket. What are your thoughts on this?

I think this is a pretty controversial piece of legislation! Good discussion topic, I just want to know what you think. I live in California, and it's getting to be a pretty big deal over here. A lot of my classmates think that this law will not get passed (and I agree with them).

What do you think about the jailed UK teacher in Sudan?

KHARTOUM, Sudan - A British teacher in Sudan was convicted Thursday of the less-serious charge of insulting Islam for letting her pupils name a teddy bear "Muhammad," and was sentenced to 15 days in prison and deportation to Britain, one of her lawyers said.

Gillian Gibbons could have received 40 lashes and six months in prison in the case if found guilty of the more serious charge of inciting religious hatred and given the maximum penalty.

This just happened to me. My house is so called protected by a alarm and monitoring comany. Well certain items were taken and because what was taken and were it was located I feel strongly about who did it. I know they did not have long to get much but did get a particular item and left more valuable things untouched. I want to know how I can get police to put pressure on suspects and get to the bottom of this. Also if alarm and monitoring company cannot keep people out why am i paying them and are they liable in any way I have had a lot of problems with alarm not working properly. Alarm went off this time and they called me then police, should police not been called first. And finally if police not willing to do a good job on this then would a P.I. do any better?

Is there anything humanly possible that can be done to free the 2 border patrol guards that are imprisoned for doing their jobs? They are family men, in prison while a drug trafikker who they were attempting to keep from crossing the border with a load of drugs is free. The worst is that our illustrious government turned a blind eye, invited and welcomed him back to our country. Surprise he came with another load of drugs to testify against these two men. Am I missing something or is there a crime being committed here, but not by the border guards?. Who's wallet is getting fatter?

Five years ago I received deferred adjudication for theft under 50 dollars which was dismissed after completion. There was no probation officer or anything. I was not also fingerprinted or booked but given a citation for the defense. My question is when an application asks "Have you ever been convicted of a misdemeanor or felony, other than traffic violations or pled guilty or no contest to a felony offense?" how do I answer that? I've stayed out of trouble and gotten a bachelors degree and even worked for the MIS department at a hospital. I want to get a job within my city which would be City of Austin, Texas with their MIS department but I know there is a security clearance being that the tech deals with a lot of confidential material. I know that if I go and say hey I was arrested for theft five years ago without being asked, it will make employers close the door on me. Please, any advice or criticism is welcomed.
