If the non-custodial parent can not be found and is behind in child support that is court ordered can his taxes be garnished for CS? Also will the Attorney Generals Office be able to find out where he is working if taxes are garnished to start up regular CS payments? Also if the non-custodial parent is unemployed does he have to pay CS? Thanks !

My sister needs to sue her ex-friend because this person borrowed money from her for various things and never paid her back.
This person is in dept (20k) and has no assets but has a job with a steady paycheck. If my sister were to win her case how exactly would that person pay her back?
My sister has lent this person money throughout the years and my sister would write down what is owed to her. She also has receipts of things that she has bought for this person. They weren't gifts though. It was a "I'll buy this for you and you pay me back" thing. Will all of this be enough proof? What else could she do to have a stronger case?
Should she get a lawyer for her small claims case?

So, like the question says, I have a fire department interview. For my background check, I have to check 'yes' or 'no' to a bunch of boxes asking if I have ever been convicted of the following misdemeanors or felonies. Now when I was 16 I was dumb and stole a pack of playing cards from the store and got arrested. But I did the community service and all that jazz and they said that it wouldn't be on my record. Now I can understand that regular jobs won't see it, but since it's like the fire department, will they be able to see it? In essence, I just don't want them to find out the wrong way that I was convicted of it, but I checked 'no' for the box as if I was hiding it, you know what I'm saying?

my boyfriend moved from NY to FL and has a valid driver's license in both. Around his birthday or the expiration date of his NY lisence, he gets something in the mail telling him to renew it, etc. But when I moved from NJ to FL and got my FL license, the DMV asked if I had a license in any other state and I had to give them my license from NJ. Before he sends in the form for his new NY license, I wanted to make sure it isn't a felony or something.

I sent it today, this teacher quit on October, I thought he still
worked there but I called later to the school after I sent it and they said he no longer works there since October. Will they send it back to me or will they forward it to his home address even though he quit on October(2 months ago).
If he got fired on October (which I'm thinking he did but not sure), will they forward it to his personal address or will they send it back to my address ?

I'm referring to a small medical community college in a small town. Few students and teachers.

Here is the deal, I have no idea about copyright information and would like to find out. Ok say i take an photo image of someperson. I want to cartoonize over the image like a template, the finished product is an cartoon image that only holds the same shapes as the photo but has been painted over. The image afterwards looks different then the original with come custom changes. I consider this a form of art but unsure if you can do this and sell the material since it resembles someone since it was painted over. The overall product isnt an exact duplication but a product of said template. can anyone give me some web page material to help me understand copyright. Thanks

okay just answered a question about welfare that brought up some anger so here it goes....

why is it that in my job i had to get drug-tested to work there but a man/woman going to the welfare office collecting my money doesnt need to take a drug test? so its illegal for me to buy drugs....but its still my money purchasing it right?

I have 2 jobs and just asked welfare for a bit of foodstamps to help me survive the month not a lot maybe 40-50 a month.nope you know why? because im not pregnant, disabled, or have kids thats what they told me? so basically if i pop out a kid their gonna buy my food when i have no job.But when im being resposible and have jobs they wont let me?

They told me i had to work 80 hours a month to be eligible for food stamps-i work 90-100 and i have to have 100-120 for medical? because im over 80-no food stamps under 100 no medical? what is that crap?

and why are these people able to have a kid without having to get on b/c?i dont wanna pay for them?

Returned item which was obviously used but being sold as if it were new. Was told to get a new product and so went and took 2 boxes from shelf. Started to open boxes in front of them to ensure that products were new.

A lady standing next to cashier, ordered me in a very rude tone that I had to repack what I opened. I was in a rush and didn't like her tone, plus I thought that sort of stuff was what they were paid to do, and I told her so. Then it escalated into a war of words, with her trying to say that she was lp and that I had to leave the store, and I refusing to leave until I got what I came for. I said I was going to complain to her manager, and take her picture and put it on the net, and she said that that wasn't legal and she was going to have me arrested.

Finally a supervisor came, enabling me to complete the return. But as I started to leave the lp laid hands on me and pushed me out, insulting me. Other lp male made threats of violence and insults. They crossed the line.

but when he went to gather up a few personal things he was told to "leave them in the car as now they were owned by the towing company until he paid them for towing the car away? A policeman was present who had a chat with the breakdown recovery driver then told my mate if you could leave them in the car and he could pick them up tommorow! is this rite. He is third party and the car is a write off i think the bill is £130.00. not sure if his possession are worth that but surely thats not the point. can anyone advise many thanks

I recently found out a scam my neighbor has been pulling. He baits and captures pets from all over town & keeps them in his house until he sees an ad in the paper / signs on telephone poles for a reward. He then collects the reward by returning the pet.

I discovered this as I stopped over unannounced and he had 2 dogs & a cat he attempted to hide. I asked what the hell is going on & he told me he’s capturing about 25 pets a year & collecting rewards upward of $500.

Making matters more dramatic, he said he now returns cats wearing a sling & tells the unsuspecting cat owner he fell from a tree while ‘rescuing’ it. The people buy it 100%. He even gets extra money for supposed medical bills. Even worse, the townspeople think he is a HERO and even nicknamed him ‘pet dective’ & invite him to family picnics, etc.

I thought something was odd as he found pets all these years.

If I tell the police, he’ll know it is me. Clearly, a person doing this is nuts and I fear repercussion.

This question deals with the Cohen v California case in which a man was charged with violating the California Penal Code, which prohibited "maliciously and willfully disturb[ing] the peace or quiet of any neighborhood or person [by] offensive conduct" when he wore a "F*** the Draft" jacket in a court to express his feelings about Vietnam. He claimed that the charge violates his freedom of expression.

my question deals with the dissenting opinion (arguing why Cohen's conviction should be upheld), where Justice Blackmun dissenting, citing 2 reasons. Can someone clarify what the second reason in his dissent means?

I was at work one day last week, during my break me and another girl were chit chatting when another came in back with her purse as I guess her shift was over. Without boring you too much with words, the one girl pulled out a baggie and showed it to us and it appeared to be some sort of illegal drugs. Now, it could have been anything but it looked like drugs to me and the other worker. I didn't think someone would show someone they didn't know their "stuff" Was I wrong for mentioning this to my manager? Some people say I should have not bothering for my safety, some people say I did the right thing. I told my manager that I did not know what it was in the bag, just that she was acting in a manner as such.

Am I in trouble here, did I do the wrong thing. Should I say something else to my manager more about this? Help!!
