State of Indiana:

We heard that since my wife and I are legal guardians of our 25 year old son who is in a group home (mentally disabled/severely autistic) in Bloomington, IN....that we cannot leave the state of Indiana for a new job with my current company.
We were told if we moved out of the state, that we would have to give up our guardianship and either find another legal guardian or hand him back over to the states. I have an opportunity for a promotion with my current company, but would have to relocate to Ventura, California.

Before we even dive into the law is there some reason your son couldn't be moved to a group home in California?

One law firm in Indiana suggests other possibilities...I don't know further except to say when one of my seasoned lawyer friends needed guardianship for his father he sought out a pro with local courthouse knowledge as its was far from a common practice area .

Worse than taking someone's copyrighted material and reprinting it without authorization from the copyright holder is taking someone's copyrighted material, reprinting it without authorization from the copyright holder, and not attributing the copyrighted material to its author.

It is copyright infringement either way.

HRZ, links provided on this site should be limited to .gov, .edu or .org.

Links to attorney sites are not permitted and copying what is written by an attorney on his/her website is not permitted - even if the information is good.

Huh, where are the rules you are talking about posted? I have linked material from attorney blogs many times when I thought they gave good explanations of things.

I absolutely agree that HRZ did wrong by copying and pasting copyrighted information but a link to said explanation is not against the rules as far as I know.

If I am wrong then please direct me to the rule that says I may not do so.

Links to attorney websites are considered commercial links (advertising). Read the important notice at the bottom of the page to see what is prohibited.

Attorneys pay to advertise on FreeAdvice. FreeAdvice is a commercial enterprise. It relies on advertising dollars to operate.

That is why links are removed, including those to other forums. If you are Macy's, you don't direct your customers to KMart. ;)

I have posted many links to attorney blogs that I thought gave good explanations. Not one of those links have ever been deleted by M.

Yes, ads are deleted by M and I have sent many of those to her as well for deletion.

There is absolutely no rule, anywhere, that says that any links must end in .gov, .org, or .edu

Again, you were right to correct HRZ about copying and pasting material like that from an attorney blog. You just took it way too far in asserting that a rule exists that does NOT exist.

Santa Claus did! But apparently this isn't 34th Street.

Ask the moderator what links are permitted. I did.

Links to attorney websites are, as a rule, not allowed because the websites are considered commercial sites. They exist to advertise the attorney's services.



Ohiogal, I don't think Santa sent them to KMart. :)

Kmart wasn't founded until 1962 however.

I actually wasn't even sure if Macy's and KMart were still around. I think they might have closed all stores in Michigan?

And I wasn't really thinking of "The Miracle on 34th Street " when I posted earlier (although that would have been clever of me). I was just trying to think of stores other than Home Depot and Target. :)
