Other Violations: Disobeying a Stop Sign and Hearing Delay

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: california

I was cited for disobeying a stop sigh back in December 2014.

Finally, the CHP got around to process the paper work. I paid the fine and was given a date for preliminary hearing in March, where I plan to plea not guilty and request a discovery so I can get the officers notes. Obvious this will take additional time before I get to a trial date.

Some responses that I have seen by other people recommend to delay, delay as much as you can. Frankly I don't see the befit of that. Even if I do request postponement and keep delaying the process past the 45 days limit for a speedy trial, can I possibly ask for my case to be dismissed if I am the one requesting the delay.

I suppose the only benefit for delaying is the very small chance that somehow as time is passing, something will happen, such as the officer not showing up for whatever reason. Small chance but possible.

Any advice on this matter.

Thank you

Termination of Support: How to Stop Child Support

My question involves child support in the State of: Nevada



My ex husband and I have joint custody of our daughter. Because I make more money I pay him child support. A year and a half ago my daughter's father moved in with his girlfriend. Since that time my daughter has lived with my full time. I am now paying child support to him when my daughter doesn't even live with him. Can I get child support stopped? How do I go about doing so without having to pay a lawyer?

Purchase Contracts: Buying Out Heirs and 1 Wants Land Versus Cash

My question involves real estate located in the State of: Tennessee



We are purchasing a property that belongs to my Father in law who passed away 10 years ago. The heirs have done nothing with the property and it has sit abandoned since his passing. We have gotten letters of approval from all heirs with the exception of 1 who wants a portion of the 1.1 acre lot. In our area and how Zoning regulations work, no less than 1 acre can be surveyed/sold since we have no access to City water.

We have no problem with giving the Heir a portion of the 1.1 acre lot. My question is, how can we go about that since we cannot divide the lot and provide him with a Deed?

Is there another type of Legal paperwork we can provide him to show he has ownership?

Let me also add that a Small estate form was provided to the Probate office and the Small Estate file has since been closed. The only thing that remains is the 1.1 acre lot.

Criminal Records: Clarify California Pretrial Diversion Language/My Case (California PC Sec 1001.1-9)

My question involves criminal records for the state of: California



Hi everyone. I've been lurking on these forums for quite awhile. Some really good stuff here. I had a couple of questions myself that I couldn't find direct answers for (I posted another related question on this forum as well).



In 2009 I was charged with CA PC Sec 484(a): petty theft. Rather than fight the charges in court, I accepted diversion under CA PC Sec 1001.1-9. The precise language for this statue can be found here: http://ift.tt/1zsIXFa



I have two questions.



First is regards to the language in 1001.3:

Quote:

---

1001.3. At no time shall a defendant be required to make an

admission of guilt as a prerequisite for placement in a pretrial

diversion program.

---

Does this really mean that pretrial diversion never involves the admission of guilt? I know that this is a common part of pretrial diversion programs, so I'd like to clarify this with someone who is more knowledgeable of the matter.



To contextualize the question a bit, here is a portion of my case record:







(I removed the dates to exclude possible identifying information. Since the record is a little confusing, just to clarify: the first entry (arraignment) was my first court date and the pretrial diversion was entered into on that date - all the other entries occurred several months later and were just due to motions for extensions to complete the program and concluding with the appointment of a public defender to argue that the program was completed successfully, upon which the case was dismissed.).



Note that the first thing I did was "Plead to charges." Now, I don't remember whether or not I actually plead guilty or did anything (it was too long ago); but this language seems to imply I plead guilty. Furthermore, in the disposition summary is says that the plea was withdrawn and the case dismissed, which further suggests that I was required to enter a plea of guilty as a condition of the diversion program. This seems to violate 1001.3. Is there a remedy to this? Can I petition the court to delete this part of the record and update the case file with the CA DOJ? I am in the process of obtaining the actual case file from the court to verify the proceedings, but I expect it say what I just did.



My second question regards 1001.8-9:

Quote:

---

1001.8. Any record filed with the Department of Justice shall

indicate the disposition of those cases diverted pursuant to this

chapter.





1001.9. (a) Any record filed with the Department of Justice shall

indicate the disposition in those cases diverted pursuant to this

chapter. Upon successful completion of a diversion program, the

arrest upon which the diversion was based shall be deemed to have

never occurred. The divertee may indicate in response to any question

concerning his or her prior criminal record that he or she was not

arrested or diverted for the offense, except as specified in

subdivision (b). A record pertaining to an arrest resulting in

successful completion of a diversion program shall not, without the

divertee's consent, be used in any way that could result in the

denial of any employment, benefit, license, or certificate.

(b) The divertee shall be advised that, regardless of his or her

successful completion of diversion, the arrest upon which the

diversion was based may be disclosed by the Department of Justice in

response to any peace officer application request and that,

notwithstanding subdivision (a), this section does not relieve him or

her of the obligation to disclose the arrest in response to any

direct question contained in any questionnaire or application for a

position as a peace officer, as defined in Section 830.

---

It seems like the only exception to the CA DOJ from releasing information about the arrest/case file is in response to a peace officer application. Now I suspect the language is unintentionally exclusive and probably there are many other exceptions. But those exceptions aside, is it reasonable to assume the CA DOJ will not release information regarding the arrest/case to parties/potential employers not falling under such exceptions?



Thanks for all your help!

Criminal Records: How to Petition Court to Seal Criminal Record Under New California Law: PC Sec 851.87

My question involves criminal records for the state of: California



On January 1, 2014, CA PC Sec 851.87 went into effect. Details of the law and the precise language can be found here: http://ift.tt/1qfPX6R.



In summary, this addition to the CA penal code allows for in certain instances and for certain misdemeanor violations, a defendant to petition the court to have their arrest/case record sealed from public inspection. Prior to this legislation, such relief was only available for certain drug related offenses, while for all other diverted offenses the arrest/case record remained publicly accessible and the benefit was therefore equivalent to expungement as defined in CA PC Sec 1203. Unfortunately, the relief is limited to the local jurisdiction: the outcome of the petition will not be forwarded to the California DOJ. But it's better than nothing and a step (depending on your opinion of the matter) in the right direction.



The main requirements are that:

1. The defendant successfully completed a pre-trial diversion program pursuant to CA PC Sec 1001.1-9.

2. At least two years have elapsed since completion of the program.

3. The violation was a misdemeanor, and not among those offenses exempted (such as certain vehicular code violations, sexual offenses, etc.).



In 2009 I committed such a qualified offense (CA PC Sec 484(a) - petty theft) and the case was successfully diverted the same year. I wish to file a petition under the new statute; however, I cannot find any information on any California court webpages. Should I just file the relevant petitions for relief under CA PC Sec 1203 (Order to Dismiss forms) and indicate that I want to obtain relief under CA PC Sec 851.87?



I know that I can call the court to find out, but I wanted to see if I could get an answer sooner over the weekend from someone in this community. Furthermore, since there is a lot of confusion about expungement in California and what it does and does not entail, I thought this would be a useful educational post to other interested people.



Thanks!

Business Disputes: Small Business Purchase Breach of Contract Issue

My question involves business law in the state of: California



Hello Everyone,







I hope you guys can help me out with some advice.



I bought a Income Tax Business, Contracts were signed stating he would not compete or do any income taxes. Also that his client list belonged to me, as I am buying his business from him. This was back in 2013 dec to early january 2014.



Also in the contract we stated that to smooth the transiton he would work weekends to let his most loyal clients know what was going on so we could retain them for following years to come.



Our payment terms were $10,000 up front payment, plus 15% of take off of his clients for the 1st year and another 15% for retained clients the following year.



Here is the issue.



I paid him the $10,000 up front. He NEVER worked all tax season long, ignored phone calls, failed to give me the other half of the cleint list. Claiming his computer was corrupted, when I told him, bring the computer in please my son can still get the info off. He failed to do that. He dissapeared all of 2014 no one could reach him. We find out now that he did do tax retuns last year and instead of signing them he wrote self prepared on them. We also got word that a lady has been calling people off of our cleint list. So we are assuming he double sold the list of clients. She is an expired tax preparer. When we went to her place of business ( Her house is where she is running her business ) She denied everything. ( We called and set up a fake appointment to have our taxes done ).







What can be done here? Can we take him to small claims court to get our $10,000 back? plus some extra for the "X" amount of clients we may have lost because he gave or sold our cleint list to another person. We live in Southern California so not sure what can be done here. We thought we had our bases covered and still got a fast one pulled over us.

Termination of Support: Tennessee - Income Share Model - Order Does Not Specify "End Date"

My question involves child support in the State of: TN



I am the RPR (custodial) parent -- the APR (father) -- was ordered to pay $900 per month based on the Income Share Model. The order states WHEN the payments start - but there is no "end date" -- no termination date.



Doing research --- and for comparison --- the state of AZ uses the Income Share Model --- an AZ website shows that there is such thing as a "Presumptuous Termination Date" -- which says that the awarded dollar amount is until the YOUNGEST child noted on the Court Orders turns 18.



No where in the State of TN - website or court order - is it spelled out when the $900 terminates. My first daughter turns 18 next month - then will graduate in May. My second daughter will not turn 18 until late 2016.



Isn't the $900 averaged out over the "duration" -- and includes through the youngest ???? Otherwise, wouldn't the TN parenting plan worksheet (that shows the BCSO and FCSO, etc) reflect for the father to pay a higher amount for both children (now) until the first child is 18 -- then continue to pay another (lower) amount until the 2nd child is 18 ????



Is the $900 through the 2nd child's 18th birthday ??? Does TN use a Presumptive Termination Date ?



If anyone can point me to a Statute that spells this out -- and how TN determines termination date would be great !



Thanks

Abandoned Property: Foreclosure

My question involves personal property located in the State of: Colorado. I am very sorry about the length, I just wanted to be specific.



My boyfriend's property was foreclosed on and he was notified that he would need to get the vehicles on the property removed within a reasonable amount of time or they would be removed. One of the vehicles was registered to me. We went to the property to remove the vehicles two days after the eviction had taken place and had missed the "towing company" by just a few hours. Instead of storing the vehicles and allowing me to pick up the vehicle and pay any storage fees, they took the vehicle to a scrap yard and sold it under a false bill of sale. I have already filed to sue the two businesses involved (the company that towed the vehicles and the company that took the vehicles under the false bill of sale), but I want to have the specific laws noted when I walk in to mediation.



Just to clarify the timeline...this happened in 2013. The eviction/foreclosure took place on 02/07/2013 (Thursday), the vehicles were taken on 02/09/2013 (Saturday) to the scrap yard and scraped on 02/11/2013. One of the employee we talked to said it was one of the last vehicles of the night/week and that it was one of the first scraped Monday morning.



I have already contacted the DMV and was told that vehicles are supposed to be handled differently in the case of an eviction/foreclosure. Whereas property like books inside of a house or clothing, etc. can be removed and thrown away, a vehicle can not. I was told by the DMV that the vehicles could be towed but that I had the right to recover and they laid out the specific timeline regarding the law (how long they could be stored, etc.). In addition, the company who towed the vehicles away was not an actual towing company; in fact, they were not even a recognized business at the time the event took place because they had not paid their renewal fees for that year. The DMV did specify that the company had to be a reputable towing company in order to have towed the vehicles. I called other towing companies in town who also confirmed that all of the above. Ignoring the fact that they weren't a towing company, I know that an actual towing company could have taken the vehicles to be stored at the scrap yard for a designated amount of time and that if I did not claim the vehicles within that time, the company that brought them there could then sell them for scraps. I am just really having a hard time finding the specific laws. I am having problems getting Lexis Nexis to work at all on the library computer or I would look there myself.



Thank you for any and all help!

Supervisors: New Chief Human Resouces Officer is a Loose Cannon

My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: MD



Three months ago our former CHRO ( African-American male) was replaced by a new guy (white male) who is also a close associate to the CEO. Instead of firing the former CHRO they demoted him to a VP position created specifically for him. Additionally they fired the Dir. Of Recruitment (African-American, Vet, male) and replaced him with a white male who is a close associate of the new CHRO. There were plenty of performance reasons to fire both men.



The new CHRO is a loose cannon. He has explained to me and another team member that they were afraid to fire the former CHRO because of fear of an EEO charge. So instead they are going to load the guy up with projects and deadlines that he won't be able to meet in order to terminate him eventually for performance. But wait there's more.



The new guy is also restructuring our HR dept. in three meetings with myself and other team members individually he has expressed his desire to promote and develop all of the youngest team members. He makes a point of his expertise developing "young people at the beginning of their careers". He has restructured my position and taken away the two key areas I was hired to do and given them to two of the younger staff. His reason for giving Employee Relations to an employee with no HR background is because "she is a single mother and she is African-American" therefore she will be able to relate better to our workforce because they are predominantly single black moms. (His assumption). Yes he said this to me more than once.



In a meeting with another team member he started telling her about his divorce and then wound up with an off color joke about Italians and condoms.



He has a very short temper and frequently berates people via email and he copies others on the team in order to humiliate you further. The equivalent to berating you in front of others on your team.



I am 57 and female. My title is HR Director. My responsibilities were employee relations, training and development and benefits oversight. I supervised three people. Now that training and ER have been taken from me I have been given projects to complete which amount to HR grunt work like policy revision. He wants me to analyze the Benefits specialist job so we can outsource most her duties and eliminate her position. I would then be responsible for anything we didn't outsource. By the way the benefits person is a black female over 40. She is also the one he told the off color joke to.



My title and pay have not been changed but the job has been significantly changed to a function I am grossly overqualified for and I can see the writing on the wall.



His temper frightens me so much that I am loath to bring any of this up to him. He is HR! His close relationship with the CEO doesn't encourage me to escalate my concerns there either. So what do you suggest?



Sorry for the lengthy post.

Deprivation of Civil Rights: Do You Lose Your Civil Rights While Under Federal Investigation or Being Tagged As a

My question involves civil rights in the State of: Federal



I been under Federal Investigation by multiple federal agencies for over 27+years since I was about 18 years old.

I know that the FBI domestic terrorist task force is currently investigating me, along with the ATF, DEA, Homeland Security, ICE, IRS, Secret Service and possibly the CIA.

And I knew it from the beginning of when the Federal Investigation started when I was around 18 years old living in NYC Astoria Queens.



My question I have is do you lose your civil rights when your under Federal Investigation?



Can the Feds steal from you, such as burglarize your apartment, stealing your safe, or stealing your whole Snap On tool box worth $15k from your place of employment?



Or Steal your property from your moving truck?



Steal your identity and commit mortgage fraud in your name? To pay off someone else's mortgage off in full on their own home?



Can they Edit 911 recordings to maliciously convict you for a bogus crime?



Can they Edit your Hospital records?



And Have the hospital discharge you from the ER room, while having a heart attack, and take you to jail by ambulance on a stretcher still having a heart attack?



Can the Feds arrange, along with local and state level police, To make it "legal" to allow you to sell cocaine legally for the Feds in order to help fund the USDOJ victim / witness protection program?

For over 20 years, without fear or risk of being prosecuted?



Can the Feds, "steal" your family's home that is paid in full? by producing fake counterfeited and forged documents to the courts? and have your family forcefully evicted from your home that is paid in full?

Traffic Lights, Signs and Controls: Ran Traffic Light. Off Duty Pulls Me Over

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: baltimore city maryland



Ok i was traveling in baltimore city on my way home from work. I was at a stop light, watching the other signal to turn red. I jumped the gun and went right thru a red light. Immediately i have lights behind me so i pulled over right away. A gentleman comes to my window in plain clothes, pulling me over in a unmarked suv, and asked me for my license and registration. I was alittle skeptical because i was in a industrial area. I asked if he had id. He shows me a laminated card that said baltimore city police, no badge. I asked for a supervisor to respond because things didnt seem right to me. The gentleman started asking me questions like where was i coming from, have i been drinking etc etc. I just stated i want a supervisor asap or just let me be on my way.



Im pretty sure this irritated him pretty good, because he went back to his suv, after telling me to stay where i was.



About 5 min later 4 marked units pulled up sirens blaring and all. At this point i thaught it would be wise to start recording the incident. adter about 5 more minutes a uniformed officer came to my window and asked for my license and registration. I handed this to him with my window only open about 2 inches, and stated i have nothing to say, and if he has any questions that i want "my" lawyer present. The officer went to the rear of my vehicle.



About 20 minutes went by, 3 of the marked units left, and i was waiting when the uniformed officer came back to my window. He told me to roll my window down all of the way, which i politely refused. The uniformed officer chucked my id and regustration through my window, and issued me a citation for the red light. I ask the officer who is issuing the citation, and he stated he was. (Not the off duty plain clothes officer) i asked for his name and badge number along with his partner. After giving me the runaround he finally tells me is and the partners name and badge numbers. I repeated the info back loud enough for the recording. I also asked for the off duty officers info, and voiced it back. I also asked if the officer was off duty, and what district he was from. I fter i received my copy of the citation, i was told i was free to go, so i left. in addition, no supervisor responded.



So my questions are

1. Why didnt the off duty officer issue me the ticket?

2. When asked arent officers supposed to give there name and badge if it isnt on the ticket?

3. is the ticket for running a red light valid, if an officer that didnt even witness the violation issues me the ticket?



Im sorry this is so long guys/girls. I hope i can get some answers. Thank you in advance.

Traffic Lights, Signs and Controls: Red Light Violation California 21453(C) - While Crossing with Blinding Sunshine

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: California Red light Violation Vehicle Code 21453(c)

Hello I received a ticket for crossing on red light, however there were mitigating circumstances and I wonder if these could be used to fight the ticket.



1. I entered a traffic intersection. There were 3 lanes. I was in the middle lane that allowed to go right or left. I was going to go right.

2. While entering the intersection about 10-20 feet before I crossed the intersection line, the car on my left tried to change lanes and turn right instead of going left. While trying to avoid them I looked in their direction.

3. Next thing I looked at the traffic light, when I was about to enter the intersection. There was blinding sunshine and I did not see that the light had just turned red. I was still moving at that time trying to catch the light before turning red.

4. I noticed the red light when I was already a couple feet into the intersection and the sun allowed me to see it.

5. The video of the violation does not show the moment I passed the driver on my left.

6. In the traffic violation picture that show the driver the sunshine is visible and part of my face is covered in sunshine. There is a sun reflection in my glasses. Also it is noticeable I am looking toward my left, where I just had passed the driver on my left.



Does weather condition and avoiding the driver in the next lane represent mitigating circumstance that I could use to fight my ticket?

Thank you

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Colorado





I pulled into a parking lot of a local grocery store. When pulling into a parking spot I Pulled through this open spot to the adjacent open spot so I could drive out vs back out. There was 5-6 inches of snow on the ground and my truck in 4x4 with large tires is hard to make tight turns so pulling forwad is easier. The person inside there car parked assumed I was stopping the spot next to them, and opened there car door into my tire. He bent back his door into my moving truck tire. I was going so slow pulling into a snowed lot my sped doesn't even register on my speedometer. He called the police and insisted on a police report. I gave my insurance info to the state trooper that came. After taking both our statements the officer gave me a ticket for careless driving. How can I be careless driving going 1 mile per hour in a private parking lot? There were no inguries and only minor damage to his car door. The officer said I would be the only one ticketed since the other car was parked. This is a 4 point drivers license ding that can seriously effect my rates. Should I go to court. I'm 34 and have never had a ticket or accident since being licensed at 16. Should I pay the fine? Go to court?

Towing: Management of Mobile Home Park Towed Car; Improper Notice

My question involves the lagality involved with a mobile home park manager having my car towed from outside my house for alleged improper parking. The manager of the trailer park I live in placed a warning on my car stating I must remove my vehicle from the street or it would be towed. The warning was placed at 9:05am and the towing company arrived at 11am. I became aware of the situation at around 11:15 when the towing company worker was finishing loading my car onto the truck. He said I had to pay $200 for a "hooking fee" to get my car back or a higher amount if I were to pick it up at the company's location.



After I paid the fee, I called the manager to address my concerns and she said that it is stated on the lease that cars cannot be parked on the street, only in the driveway. I told her I was not aware of that rule and that she should have given me proper notice and I would have more than happily moved the car into the driveway.



There are no signs or curb paintings signaling that cars are not allowed to park on the street. My question is if it is legal for the manager of the trailer park to tow my car as if they were a law enforcement agency.





P.S. We have a single lane driveway and my mom goes into work at 2am so I leave my the car on the street so she can pull out her car without having to move mine in the middle of the night.

Expenses: Custodial Parent Wants to Put Daughter into Private School

My question involves child support in the State of: California



Hello everyone,

I received an email from custodial parent saying that she wants to put our daughter into private school.

I told her that I could not afford to pay for half of the yearly tuition, and I thought that the public school in the area were very good.

I am currently unemployed, living off of savings.

She told me that she only wanted me to pay half of the entrance fee which would be around $500 and that she would pay for the yearly tuition herself.



My question is if I did help pay for our daughter to get into this private school by paying for half of the entrance fee would I be responsible for paying for the other half of the yearly tuition if the custodial parent were to change her mind and we went to court?

I hear that one of the factors judges take into consideration when making a parent pay for private school if whether the children were attending private schools before.



I would like to help out as much as possible and I can afford to pay the $500 one time entrance fee, but I am fearful that if I help her get into this private school I could possibly be responsible for paying for half of the yearly tuition which I can not afford.



Thank you in advance.

My question involves a condominium located in the State of: Illinois

My landlord agreed with me that the leaks were a problem prior to me having keys. Now, I have an angry neighbor above my storefront who is complaining about his floors being ruined to a backup in his water heater due to the clog that has happened above the storefront. He is trying to blame me by saying there are a specific kind of paper towel clogging the drain, due to flushing them down the toilet. However, my toilets and drain system work just fine. Again, the leak is happening to drain pipe ABOVE ME. How do I shut down my angry neighbor trying to get my business to pay for his floors? I know for a fact sewage pipes do not run up, unless they are in a basement using an ejector system. I am not in a basement, my drain system is below my toilet. Please help.

I was driving down on 5 south from San Jose to LA to meet my family on the morning of Saturday 2/21.

As I was passing by just north of 58, Buttonwillow (Kern county, Shafter) I slowed down a bit because I know there are always cops hiding in the area.

However, despite my effort I was pulled over and the officer told me I was going 104mph on 70mph limit. 22348(B)

Me: Good morning sir

Cop: Where are you going speeding 104mph?

Me: I am on my way to meet my family sir.

Cop: How old are you?

Me: I am 24, sir

Cop:Can I see your DL and registration

Me:Here's my license and this is a rental car so I think my rental agreement would work.

(Cop just reaches over inside and grabs other papers from glove box)

Cop: Aren't you supposed to be 25 to rent a car?

Me: As a member of USAA member, you can still rent a car even if you are between 21-24.

Cop: I will be right back



(he comes back with a ticket)

Cop: I need you to sign here

Me: Sir, was I really going 104mph? I do not think I was going that fast.

Cop: well, if you weren't going that fast, I wouldn't be standing out here this morning in the morning. (He said something like if you were going like 80 like other cars he wouldn't have pulled me over. He did mention that speed limit was 70)

Me: Yes sir you're right (I didn't want to piss off a cop)





1. I was charged an infraction and from my research, it seems like I will be facing >$800 fine, 2 points on record, possible 30 day license suspended, mandatory court appearance. I am even thinking about hiring a lawyer but that will add about $500 on my end with no guarantee. It seems like fighting this ticket is a way to go but I am not sure if I should hire an attorney or not. any advice?



2. As of 2/26, I called Shafter superior court to change the address (my perm address is my parent's place in san diego so I'd rather have them send it directly to me) and the clerk told me they still do not have the ticket in their system. How long does it usually take for a ticket to file?



3. I want to change the date and location for my court appearance. It seems changing the date is okay but not sure about the location. The court I was assigned to is about 3+hrs away one way so it'll be 6-7 hours of just driving.



4. I thought the cop was supposed to ask me how fast I think I was going and if I know the speed limit which he did not. And he reached out to my glove box. He did not show me any evidence even when I raised a question. Do you think this could work against him?



5. My court date is Friday 8:30AM what time should I reschedule so that he will not show up?



6. Under the Radar/Lidar Unit/Patrol Vehicle No. He wrote down DXXXXXXX/8530. I believe this is his vehicle number and radar number right? Does this mean he does have evidence?

I really do not think I was going 104mph and I was just following the traffic flow. I drive from SJ to LA quite often and have never been pulled over.





I believe this area is popular for high speeding since there is nothing around the area and it is just a straight road. Wil the judge know this and agree my 104mph was not reckless driving





Thank you in advance and if you guys could share your experience it'll be greatly appreciated.



I am 24 and I got my license when I was 17. No accident or ticket since then.

Collection and Enforcement: How to Have Unpaid Medical Expenses Added to Support Arrears

My question involves child support in the State of: CA



My ex husband owes me $4,000 for half of a hospital stay that my son had last April. I send him copies of all medical bills and an itemized list of his half of the bill. I sent it certified mail and his girlfriend signed for it. He has made no attempt to pay it. I spoke with child support services in tulare county and they said that if we could not work it out outside of court, that it can be tacked onto his current arrears. Our custody states that he is responsible for 1/2 of all medical expenses.



Does anyone know what forms I need to fill out and file with Tulare county? Please don't just tell me to go to talk to a lawyer..... yes I realized that is what I should do, but if I can get away with not having a lawyer, that would be great for all parties involved. Or at least point me in the right direction?

Sentencing: Leaving the State to Avoid Paying Restitution

My question involves criminal law for the state of: California



I have been off probation for almost 10 years and there is nothing keeping me from legally leaving the state. I have a ridiculous amount of restitution to pay that was assigned to me because of fabricated evidence about 14 years ago that is never going to get payed.



If I leave California can they still garnish my wages to collect on this restitution if I'm working in a different state?

Breaking a Lease: Property Management Agency Not Cooperating with Lease Break Request

My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: North Carolina



First, I am not trying to abandon the lease. I recently signed a 1-year extension of the lease I was in, and a home my wife and I really like came on the market. We bid and won the home. All of this took place BEFORE the new lease we signed was in effect (date-wise, anyway). I know that is a non-issue, but at the time, I sent a letter stating my intent to vacate. The Management agency responded with some fees, some justified, some not. Most of the fees were for advertising the property and managing it while it is empty.



Well, we live in a military town, the house is new, spacious, has a pool, and the rent is extremely reasonable. I put some ads out advertising it for rent as the management agency told me that I would need to find new tenants in order to avoid having to pay rent for the entire lease unless we find new tenants. We have had several showings and there are many families interested in the house. I contacted the management agency and they are NOT cooperating with any requests for an updated application (since they are the management agency), questions on rent or lease agreement changes, etc. Additionally, my wife and I are vacating the house this weekend. we will keep the utilities on, and have already paid rent for the month of March. It is our intention to show the house and let the management agency process applications until they settle on a new tenant. But, today, as my wife is delivering the rent check, the management agency tells us that the owners are thinking of selling and may not want new tenants. My question is are they allowed to do that? I am in a lease, they have not told me anything about an intent to sell, I have people that would qualify lined up to take over the lease TOMORROW, and have already taken care of the rent for a month I won't even be living there! I am working with these people as best I can, but feel like they aren't taking me seriously.



Does Isbey vs. Crews come into account here? Are they required to accept a new tenant because I am leaving, whether they accept a new tenant or not. What legal recourse do they have if I present people willing to move in but the management company continues to believe that I will continue to pay rent? Help!!!

Service and Repair: Stealership Repair Service

My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of Florida.



I have missed class Monday, Wednesday, and now I will miss Friday . I only intended to miss Monday. My sons b-day was Monday and i was going to surprise him with a day at Sea-world. We still went but i I very upset the stealership did not fix the vehicle properly when they knew a part had the wear on it and was not working properly. I have had car trouble most of the time. My car broke down this weekend in Jacksonville, FL; monday i had it fixed at the dealership. On the service report they stated what they repaired and what they checked to make sure everything is workung properly. And again it broke on Wednesday and i was stuck in Hardeeville, SC with no repair shops around able to repair it. I had to wait for a tow the following day because no one wanted to tow the car to Charleston, SC in the bad storm that was passing through. They inspected the car here at the dealership and they had to order a part in order to fix it and it does not arrive until sometime this morning. I paid $550 for the repair in Jacksonville. Approximately 350 miles later i had the same issue. And the dealership does not want to pay the other dealership to for the repair and does not want to reimburse us for the second tow and for the two days we had to stay overnight in SC. Will i be able to sue the dealership ? Thanks for any advice.

Criminal Records: Will a Juvenile Marijuana Charge Effect Me from Becoming a Paramedic

My question involves criminal records for the state of: Pennsylvania



Hey guys and gals, I am currently a 20 year old male and have lived my whole life in California. When I was 15 I went to Maryland for the summer to work and well I was there me and a friend went to Pennsylvania for the weekend. One night we were walking back home at around 3 in the morning and got stopped by two police officers. Before they searched us I told them I was in the possession of a little marijuana maybe a gram or 2 not really sure and a little one hitter that looked like a cigarette. They were very nice and gave me what i deserved, a ticket. They told me "the only way this will show up on my criminal record is if I ever got into trouble in Pennsylvania again." I was wondering if you guys could tell me what that means about whats actually on my criminal record and if any future employers can see it. Also if you know whether it will effect me trying to become a EMT or paramedic. I have since then been clean and have no other charges on my record other than a traffic violation (driving on curb) that I participated in traffic school for. Also funny story when my parents called to talk to the police officer he actually told them I was in a car with a group of kids and it was just in the car so they charged all of us. Thought that was funny.



Thank you in advance for any of you guys that answer you guys are awesome for helping me and all of these people out when you don't have to we really do appreciate it!

Custody and Visitation Issues: The Non Custodial Parent Moved

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Tennessee

In July of 2013 me and my daughters father split up and he had told me that same day that he was going to move to South Carolina. He moved to South Carolina the next day. When we had a temporary parenting plan he didn't follow through with it. One time that he got my daughter she came back with a skull fracture. Now every time he gets her she comes back sick. I have always showed her pictures of her dad but now when I show her them she cries and screams no. He keeps our daughter for a whole week and when she comes back I can't get out of her site and She comes back sick everytime. She is traumatized by all of this, I also can't afford to meet him halfway. I'm just worried about my daughter because he has been violent toward me. He also never took a parenting class I'm not sure if that's mandatory. Can someone please give me some advice my main concern is my daughters safety.

Custody and Visitation Issues: The Non Custodial Parent Moved

Harassment: False Sexual Harassment Violation

My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Michigan



Ok, here's what happened. I have worked in a photo-lab for a pharmacy for nearly ten years, and a week ago made a print order of a image of myself in a nude artistic pose for my girlfriend's life drawing art class. Nothing remotely pornographic, a typical art pose. It is against policy to print one self's order, but I didn't want to put any coworker in an uncomfortable position doing the order, so I did it myself, deleted the image from the printer computer, but wasn't able to delete it from the kiosk. The only way to see the order on the kiosk is with a access-only pass code. I also sealed the envelope to prevent any accidental exposure.



I clocked out soon after, and had an coworker ring me up for it, I paid and left. Not long after, the same coworker looked up my order (later claiming they wanted to see what my SO looked like), and resent the image to the processor computer. She then proceeded to show it to the closing manager, and a few other employees including the closing cashier, whom took pictures with his cellphone and sent electronically to other employees.



The next day, the store manager brings me into the office, tells me what happened, and informs me corporate has been contacted and the matter is being investigated, both the violation of my privacy and me printing my own order.



Here is where it gets complicated. The person from corporate interviewing and taking statements claims that me having brought a nude image into the store, regardless of it being myself is considered a violation of the sexual harassment policy, which "prohibits the possession of any images that are sexually suggestive, pornographic or discriminatory". That's verbatim from the policy.



I'm told the printing my own order is minor, and little consequence, but the "sexual harassment violation" is a major issue, and will be determined by whatever corporate group decides the punishment.



I don't believe, because the image is artistic, and not in any way sexual or pornographic more than Michelangelo's David or the Sistine Chapel, that I'm in violation, and seeing as this only came to light due to a severe invasion of my privacy, that I shouldn't be hit with this. I won't know for another week the results of the investigation, but I need to know what, if any legal rights I have, and what options are available in the event of termination.



Thank you.

Harassment: False Sexual Harassment Violation

Appeals: Whoever Said the Library Was Free

My question involves traffic court in the State of: New Jersey

Dear Forum,

I live in Rutherford, NJ. Today I had to stop by the local library to make a quick pick-up of a book I'd ordered. Unfortunately there was nowhere to park in the area, in part due to piles of snow. So I pulled into the handicapped parking spot thinking I would be back in a minute. As I did, another driver without handicap ID pulled in behind me into what was also a handicapped spot. When I returned 1-2 minutes later, a police car was parked across the street, and an elderly woman attendant slowly stepped out of her vehicle just as I got to my door. I found it hard to believe she had me in her sights as I saw her amble toward the rear of my vehicle, as I suddenly tried to explain the circumstances and appeal to her for leniency, but all to no avail. Instead of issuing me a warning and letting it go, the woman was stubbornly determined to get to the rear of my vehicle in order to record my plate number on her iPad. The driver who parked behind me had since returned to his car and sped off, which I realized (too late) I should have done when I had the chance. I asked the attendant for her name, and she wryly retorted that I'd “see it on the ticket when I get it in the mail". The fine BTW is $250.

She did not care that there was A) limited parking due to the mounds of snow, and that B) I had been only gone about a minute to pick up a DVD, C) There were no handicapped vehicles in the area at the time, or that D) another vehicle without handicap ID had parked behind me in a second handicap 'no parking' space (who was not singled out like I was).



The bottom line is: On a limited income, I can't afford to pay this sizable amount of money. And I dread having to explain all this to a prosecutor and spend the greater part of a day in court in order to appeal.

What options (if any) would I have, and what happens in cases where the person summonsed neither pays or shows up in court? Thanks for any advice.

Establishment: When to Ask for a Continuance

My question involves restraining orders in the State of: Missouri



I have a court hearing tomorrow for a child protection order. I have been talking to my attorney and he said I need to ask for a continuance tomorrow to buy us a little time. The only thing is I forgot to ask when to ask for one! I am not sure if I should at the very beginning. Or wait and see what the judge has to say then ask for one later on.

I am considering this because I was not served an ex parte. There is very little to no solidity to the case in the first place so I dont want to waste the money on the attorney if theres no need. But again, im not sure when its proper or allowed to ask.

Enforcing Custody Orders: I May Not Be the Biological Parent

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Illinois



I just recently found out I may not be the biological father of my 5 year old twin girls. Me and their mom were never married and they have been with me and my parents since they were 9 months. While their mom lived in Arizona and visited on few occasions. She barely communicates with them. Just recently I received a message from a man who claims that my daughters mom recently contacted him to tell him that he might be the twins biological father. He said that he will not destroy the life they know and will sign over any paper work needed. How should I go about this from a legal standpoint. Mine or not I love these girls and hope to continue having them with me. I know they don't want to be anywhere else.

Trials and Verdicts: False Statement in Small Claim Court

My question involves small claims court in the state of: California



What happen if you can prove that the defendant did not say the truth?



I won a small claim by default judgment and the other party is now appealing with a lawyer.



The lawyer will say that the defendant did not receive my certified mail in order to get a new judgment. This is false and depending on how they will try to prove it, I might be able to prove the opposite.



Moreover, in case a new judgment will be heard: The lawyer will state that the defendant sent me a letter by mail. Which is not true and I might be able to prove it.



Finally, can I question a witness even if I am not a lawyer?

Traffic Lights, Signs and Controls: Arizona §28-644(A)(1) - Failure to Obey Traffic Control Device

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Arizona

The other evening I turned left out of a grocery store parking lot and was pulled over by a motorcycle officer. He said "you're supposed to stop before pulling out of that parking lot." I said "ok" and nothing else. Then he said "there's also no left turn from there. Did you see the sign?" and I said "no I didn't". He issued a citation for 28-644(a)(1)failure to obey a traffic control device.



The next day I went and looked at the sign in the daylight and there were indeed two signs, both on the same post - a "Stop" sign situated over a sign with a right arrow and "Only" below it.



I have a couple questions. First, since there are several traffic control devices in the area (pavement markings and other signs), and the citation did not indicate the specific one I was being cited for, do I have an argument here for ambiguity? What's strange is he could have cited me specifically for failure to stop before emerging from a driveway (28-856) but used the less specific 'traffic control device' statute instead.



The second question is about the validity of the sign itself. 28-644(a)(1) talks about an "official traffic control device" and the definition from 28-601(12) says:

Quote:

---

"Official traffic control device" means any sign, signal, marking or device that is not inconsistent with this chapter and that is placed or erected by authority of a public body or official having jurisdiction for the purpose of regulating, warning or guiding traffic.

---

My county has a GIS map showing a property line overlay of satellite imagery. I pulled up the shopping center and it shows the stop sign to be about 6 feet inside the property line of the shopping center. I understand there are easements, etc that could be used to argue the sign is official, but my question is, since they cited me for failing to obey a device that has to have been erected with the blessing of a public body or official having jurisdiction, can I simply say, "the state has produced no evidence that this device on private property has been erected by proper authority."? Or will judicial notice apply here?



My next question is about the fact that I did not see the sign at night. My understanding is that the MUTCD requires signs to be visible and reflective at night. If I challenge the reflectivity (or general validity, e.g. size, height, etc) of the sign, is the state required to demonstrate those specific signs are in compliance?



Thanks for reading.

Minors' Rights: Man Grabs My Boy Cursing and Threatening Him

My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Ohio

My boy was approached by my neighbor when he came out and started cursing at my boy and calling him names. My boy then gave a few choice words back. Man came and grabbed my son by the shirt yelling in his face and threatening him. Police came and gave both my boy and the man a warning and said they was going to type up a report. Seriously is that it???? Is that all that the police can do in a case like this? I thought if you grabbed a kid that wasn't your own by the shirt yelling and screaming in their face threatening them bodily harm, does that not merit the man being arrested and charged?

My question involves personal property located in the State of: California.

So the land behind my home is own and suppose to be maintained by the HOA. Needless to say, they don't. Twice now my pools motor pumps have been fried because the HOA's maintenance crew has failed to do their job and not cleaned up the area and the leaves the trees have dropped. The first time I paid for the repair and replacement pump. The second time, I sent a claim to the HOA's insurance asking them to pay. They denied the claim. I asked the insurance company to provide me with the information that they used to conclude this and they refuse. They have removed three out of the four trees (these trees drop leaves once a year that are about a foot in diameter) due to destroying the neighbors property/fence. I am not allowed to clean up or trim anything yet they don't. I speaking with the adjuster they stated that the wind was to blame and they are not responsible.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Land Use and Zoning: Illegal Living in Work Space

My question involves real estate located in the State of: New York



Hi there,



I've been living in an art studio for months now, a friend of mine introduced me to the idea as he was doing the same thing and it seemed pretty interesting and risk-free then. I never thought about the consequences of it except the potential eviction.



I've a few questions now:

-what's ARE the risks? Fines, etc.?

-how could that be proven legally(that someone is living there)?



Also I'm thinking of moving out, I'm sick of that sneaky living but I still have months left on my lease so what would be best for me? Would finding a new tenant be the legal solution to avoid penalties or does it still depend on the landlord decision what penalties there would be? (In the lease agreement there was nothing about what could happen in the case of a broken lease).



I realize I may have put myself in a tricky spot so I'm curious to see what's possibe from here.



Thank you!

Minors' Rights: I Really Need Help

My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Missouri



I am 18 years of age, my girlfriend is 16 years of age. Last week I was served an order of protection hearing (again, hearing notice only). She has called me every morning since then. I know its a bad idea but the other day I got a surprising call. Her mother had taken her to the doctor and she is pregnant.

I know the order of protection will most likely not go through because of the ridiculous reasons it was filed. But I have spoke to a couple lawyers and the outlook for me is grim so far. They have told me that the state does not recognize the baby as a child until it is out of the womb. So her parents could still keep me away, even keep me out of the delivery room.

I CANNOT miss the developement of my child, and especially not the birth. My girlfriend was 15 and I was 16 when we first started having sex. So im not worried about rape cases. I just need to know if there is anything I can do or If I have ANY rights to see her while she is pregnant. Thanks for your help.

Legal Permanent Residency: Forwarding Someone Else's Mail to Your Own Address

My question involves real estate located in the State of: Indiana.



Before you all blow up I had absolutely no idea which forum this question should be posted under.



The situation is as follows. Two close family friends have moved out of the country (They no longer have a legal residence in the US) and they changed their "address" to our home address so that we receive their mail. Are there any laws against this? These two friends have the same last name as us, and are also the same race. Could we ever get into trouble if anyone finds out that they don't actually live at our address?

Custody and Visitation Issues: Child Stolen

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: New Mexico



My child was visiting grandparents in New Mexico and they have since refused to return him to me! They have cut off all contact with me! They filed a petition stating they didn't know where I am and that I didn't want him and/or couldn't take him, then they blocked me on Facebook! Their son, his father, lives two hours away and filed with their petition stating he didn't/couldn't take him. He doesn't want him, I do! I'm am at my wits end! New Nexico legal aid won't help, because I'm here. Virginia legal aid won't help, because he's in New Mexico! I don't think it's fair I should lose my child, because I can't afford an attorney. I already haven't talked to him in two months! I've seen a case online where I may be eligible for a public attorney, but I don't know how to go about that. Can anyone, please, help me?

Use and Enforcement: Driveway

I share a driveway with my neighbor. To my understanding, we both own half of the driveway. We have had issues with the parking situation. My wife and I have two cars as does the neighbor. The neighbor and his wife are older and he happens to be the mayor of our town. They threw a fit one day when his wife was unable to back out of her spot, onto our side, in order for her to drive out of the driveway rather than back out like my wife and I do. He says it is due to her being older and unable to backup well. To avoid conflict we adjusted the parking and it was manageable.



Recently my wife and I went back to a previous parking method that was considerably easier on us, and still have ample room for both of the neighbors vehicles to back down the driveway (the mayor does this every day).



One day this week my wife and I cam home to find the neighbors wife's car parked at the bottom of the driveway right on or nearly passed the halfway point. We thought it was a temporary situation and haven't made a fuss about it. However it is continuing, and today she was clearly over te halfway point, forcing my wife and I to go into our grass in order to get out.



Are there laws that would force the neighbors to park differently in order to keep us off the grass? Any help would be appreciated it

Social Security Issues: How Much Trouble Am I in for Misstating SSI Resources

I am a rep payee for a family member who is disabled. I recently had to apply for SSI benefits when Bob (not real name) went from "room and board" to "board and care" status. I thought Bob was on our mother's savings account which was around $2,000 and so it was over the resource limit when you factor in the balance of his checking account. He was actually on her checking account (originally opened with my mother and me as joint account holders). I am in the process of removing his name from her account. Also, he had received SSI benefits previously for over a year. I knew then that his name was on her account but intended to have her remove it later and did not state that. I didn't know that all the money in a joint account would be considered all his. My mother at this time was having difficulty walking or doing anything and I was trying to take care of her as well as my brother who came once a week for shopping for his needs. I was very stressed out. I tried to have his name removed before with a durable power of attorney but the bank said that I could not. By the time I applied this second time I decided I should tell the social security office he was on her account but had forgotten which account. I have never done anything like this before and could kick myself for not taking care of this matter sooner. How far back would they check if I told them about the checking account. Can I just pay the difference for his board and care and not deal with the consequences or do I have tell social security what I did? How much trouble would I be in? I live in California. I did use her credit card to pay for dental work for him per her request because medicaid doesn't pay much.

Class Action Against the State of Israel on Behalf of All U.S. Citizens

Don't know who the moderators are who keep removing my post, but since I'm still able to post new threads, here it is again.

acouple interesting notes, the TVPA thread, which hadn't recieved any comment in 2 months, suddenly getting bumps in the international law forum should be a red flag for anyone interested in knowing who the bumpers are.

2nd, If you think this is an invalid point, think about the lawsuits which we always hear about of the Jews, suing the Germans over this and that art cache, or stolen gold, and think about this, THIS CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT will be AROUND LONG AFTER THE ISRAELI PERPS WHO COMMITTED AND ARRANGED THE EVENTS SURROUNDING THE 9/11/2001 CRIME are gone, and will CONTINUE TO BE VALID.



Well since it got removed before, and my ability to post new threads is restored now...I'll say it again, cause it's important and valid.



Hi,



I'm new to these forums, and after a cursory inspection of the forums decided to begin here in international law, which is my domain.



First of all I'll state that I have perused the international law topic heading, and find that all of the threads are locked, save one, regarding TVPA.



Therefore I have decided to go for the big splash and start my own thread.



Interested in bringing a class action lawsuit on behalf of ALL US CITIZENS against the state of Israel, for the crimes perpetrated by Israeli nationalists who were operating under the guise of US politicians leading up to 9/11/2001.



First points of my case would deal with the financial embezzling well known from the pentagon, and signed for by pentagon comptroller Rabbi Dov Zakheim.

Donald Rumsfeld as we all know reported this significant figure on 9/10/2001, although it has been estimated as being about 4 times what he told us of on that day before "nine-eleven" as it is widely known.



http://ift.tt/1Bs36Cm (9/11 Pentagon Attack - Behind the Smoke Curtain - Barbara Honegger starting point 2h15m)



Seen in the above link, is a well detailed and educated description of the Israeli perpetrators the 9/11 events as they actually were arranged and caused.



Without going too deeply into a conversation of the events of that historic day I would like to offer this up on the international forum.



I will state however, that if the amount was 3 trillion dollars, that recovery from Israel would equal $200,000 for each and every one of 15 million US children now living in poverty, and if the amount was 9 trillion dollars, that would be $100,000 each for the neediest 100,000,000 families in the USA. If we were to throw in every bit of our national income tax thrown at the military for the various foreign wars declared by politicians who were serving Israel, the amount could easily become doubled.



I feel that as the events of 9/11 were perpetrated by Israeli secret agents and dual-citizen politicians in the US government, working covertly under the guise of US employment such as the CIA, and since the events of 9/11 caused not only the bankruptcy of General Motors, but also indirectly the housing crashes and were tied to many cover-ups, much blood loss, and many other falling economic sectors in the USA, as well as huge amounts of home foreclosures against US workers, citizens and taxpayers, we as a people are owed this debt by Israel.



I'll leave this for comments now.

Warranties: How Long Do Home Renovation Warranties Last

My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Illinois





In 2012 we purchased a house and had taken out a 203k renovation loan. All work was inspected through Wells Fargo Bank and completed by Feb 2013.

We started having problems on the rear addition of the house and the contractor sent some of his workers to fix this problem a few weeks ago. His workers related that the contractor would send out another crew to work on the inside because they were only allowed to work outside. Make a long story short we noticed water damage a couple of months ago in my sons room on the windows with water damage and bubbling along the drywall on the inside of the house near the window. We have contacted the contractor and he said he guarantees his work and he would have someone come take a look at the damage. I don't know if we have anything in writing (a warranty) but wanted to ask legal advice because it looks like the damage could be molding. I just wanted to ask what my legal actions could be or what route to take regarding this issue. I don't want my 2yr old breathing in anything that bad. Thank you in advance and any help will do.

Business Disputes: Legal Opinion About a Business Venture Gone Bad

My question involves business law in the state of: Minnesota



Hello my gf and I work in the healthcare field in cosmetic hair restoration. in February of 2014 I partnered up with a business partner to open our own clinic. Unfortunately 6 months later our business fell apart due to money differences and the inability to agree on a contract on how the profits were to be dispersed. Also I was very naive in letting my business partner handle the services rendered transactions as he collected everything into his accounts. In the month of June we profited nearly $30,000 however these monies quickly disappeared and I received vague responses on where it was going. However we did both pitch in equally for the website that was approximately $7,000. And "our" company paid for all of the instrumentation needed for the surgical procedures my gf and I performed for the business. As I said we before we parted ways because of the money issues and the clinic is still in use.



My question/s are this: Because of my naivety in this business venture, does this mean I am out of luck to move forward civilly to obtain partially what my half of the business put in before we parted ways. Second, my gf and I had personal items that had nothing to do with the business and was not bought by the business. We have a long paper trail of voice mails, emails to the clinic, the clinic's lawyer, and we even asked the police to escort us into the office t get our personal items. They locked the door and the police officer shook his head and said he could not enter. The clinic's lawyer keeps putting us off by saying he could not get in touch with us or he needs an itemized list with pictures of the personal items. We have provided him with his requests 3 times. Do I have any legal recourse to obtain our items?



The business dissolved between my musiness partner and I in November 2014. It is February 2015. Thank you for any and all comments.

Hearings and Trials: Trial by Written Declaration- Court Keeps on Postponing

My question involves traffic court in the State of: California



Hello



I received a ticket for CVC 22350 Excessive Speed on 07/11/2014. I was to appear by September 22 as stated on the ticket. I never received the courtesy notice so I called the court and they informed me that they've postponed by court appearance (pay by this date, or contest) to November 18 as they were backed up.



I contested and filed my trial by written declaration on November 10.



I didn't hear anything back, so I called them on January 4, 2015. They said it's not going to be even presented to the commissioner until February.



So I called on February 23 and they told me that the court has postponed my date to March 23.



My question is can they keep on postponing the date like this? What are my options at this point? Also, I am planning on leaving the country to work overseas in April and if I lose the trial by written declaration, I would want to file a trial de novo and fight in court- I wouldn't be able to do this anymore as they've postponed for such a long time.



Thank you in advance for your insight and advice!

Hearings and Trials: Trial by Written Declaration- Court Keeps on Postponing

Student Discipline: Legal Avenues Involving Middle School Student Bullied by Assistant Principle

Please Help



14-year old middle school student, we'll call John, was waiting in line after school for the bus, which was late. Then the assistant principle walked out to the line and asked how many kids ride this bus. Several students shouted out numbers and the student, John, said "69". She heard him say it over everyone else and pointed at him and told him to go to her office. Once he was there, John was told to fill out a form, I believe for identification purposes, then she pulled out another form with a number of things checked and circled of what John is being written up for. She was demeaning him and yelling at him for being disrespectful to her and that students should always respect her and authorities of the school. Keep in mind, John still doesn't know what he's doing in her office, and around this time, the bus shows up. As she writes him up, John asks where she got the paintings that are in her office (in an effort to keep calm) and she tells him to not talk or look around, which I would assume to be rude and no way to speak to a student. So John then pulls out his phone to check the time. She asks John what he is you doing. He says checking the time. And then she demands the phone. He asks why, and she says because you aren't allowed to use phones during school hours (but it's actually after school and all the kids pull out their phones when the final bell rings because classes are out). And then she says there's a clock right behind him, but she yelled at him a moment ago to not turn or look around. So then she finishes writing him up and another man walks in, who is another teacher assistant principle of some kind, and demands John to sign the paper. And as a 14 year old student in front of two assistant principles, you're not gonna say no, so he signs without being notified of what he did wrong or what he signed. The assistant principle lady scolded him for engaging in sexual harassment, being disruptive, disrespectful, and overtly-defiant....all for saying a number. And making John sign the write-up agreeing to he accusations when in fact John didn't even know why he was there in the first place.



Legally, she infringed on John's 1st amendment right of freedom of speech. And also infringed on his 6th amendment right which states that John has the right to know who is accusing him and what they are accusing him of doing, which they NEVER did.

On top of that, they called his mom at work, saying that John was asked how many kids take the bus, and John said 69 and that he was disrespectful. Simply, they didn't tell John's mom the whole story and she was not given full discretion of what happened, which is also infringing on the 6th amendment because John's mom is technically Justin's legal guardian because he is a minor. Additionally, the assistant principle lady made my John cry because she was yelling at him without good reason, which his essentially verbal excessive force and she can be charged with causing emotional distress in a minor.

I've been researching and she can actually be taken to court for emotional distress as negligent infliction of emotional distress. Plus, on the school district website, there's a bullying section, and by definition on the what that website describes, the actions of both authority figures falls under much of what is written in that section.



Questions: Is there any legal action/recourse that John's family can take? The punishment handed down from the assistant principle for saying the number was a suspension. John is a 14 year old 8th grade student in California with a 4.0 gpa and a spotless record. Does the punishment fit the crime? Is the authority figure in the right? The authority figure claimed that it was offensive to her, therefore her actions were justified in her opinion. Have his Constitutional Rights actually been infringed on? Was it wrong for the authority figures to TELL John to sign the suspension form, rather than ASK him to read and understand the form before he signs it. Is it wrong that the authority withheld information (over the phone) from the mother regarding the occurrence. On the form, the word "parent" is crossed out, meaning that the school does not need a parent signature to sign off on the suspension because a phone call was made to the mother at work; is that in the right?



If there are any questions I can answer, please ask. I would like to get a better understanding of the law in this situation.
