He needs to sell the trampoline, or whatever it takes. I do understand about his current work and income situation. But this is going to be a long term relationship with an attorney, perhaps payment arrangements can be worked out somehow. I have seen case after case of where the person did not...

Penny wise, pound foolish. He can't really afford a lawyer, but he's paying for everything????Oh baloney! The only thing that will make this man's situation liveable is a good family court issues attorney and a set of good custody arrangements. That's the best and ONLY advice you should be...

Unfortunately, people believe they have a lot more rights and protections than they do. Until it happens, at which point you find that your only recourse for being terminated for almost everything is to file for unemployment compensation while seeking another job. That is not a needs based...

I agree that the military is not for everyone. A lot of grocery stores need cashiers and stockers, I do not believe your gluten allergy would be a factor working there. Is there a temporary employment agency anywhere close by? They are usually a good place to begin with factory work without...

I hope this is true of where the OP lives, but the parts of that state I am familiar with, and in my state that I am familiar with it would be very tough to find something for $700 a month. And while $23 an hour may sound tremendous to us, as opposed to $7.25, the cost of things is pretty...

Unfortunately, yes, a company has the right to fire you on a whim. just because he didn't like what you said. The only recourse you have is that if you are terminated in this manner, you can probably qualify for unemployment benefits which are paid by the employer, while seeking another job...

In reality it will be very difficult for this young person to find a job, any job, that pays them enough to have their own place unless they have roommates to help them. They also need transportation of their own, and most low level jobs just do not pay enough or give you enough hours to manage...

The difference between "resigned" and "terminated" or "fired" or whatever the term is, is that. A term. It would be a colossal waste of time to make a bigger deal out of whether you said I quit before they said you're fired, sort of like a fast draw in a cowboy gunfight. Frankly, trying to...

What your choice is, after working for him for two years of this, is to either let his stupid comments upset you or not. If he is physically abusive, press charges. Otherwise, you do not have to respond. If you want to stir things up, do record him, file a complaint with HR, and do not be...

What on earth kind of student loan did this kid get that would be involved with the state's attorney? I have seen all sorts of collection efforts made on student loans, and I have never heard of something like this one sounds like. I have seen situations where grandparents co-signed 20 years...

Only you live in your world. Medication might help. If you truly believe these people are so evil, you are responsible for whatever happens to you at their hands, NOT the country, and NOT the police.

Oh my goodness. You "don't trust the government" but you live with people you believe to have abused and taken advantage of and eventually murdered your mother, and are actively involved with and living with people whom you believe have the potential to murder you! What I would advise you to do...

Nailed it, sis! What is your legal question?

If this is a rural area, and NC does have lots of them, the participants will have this much of a drive to almost anywhere they are going. I don't feel that the hardship of the distance was the factor that has been causing this person to miss these supervised visits. It is quite possible that...

I'm going to paraphrase here, but a poet once said, "Oh wad some power the gift to gie us, to see oursels as others see us, it wad from many a blunder free us." You really really need to take your lawyer's advice. In the first place, the courts, the lawyers, the judges, and CPS are not in some...
