This sounds like both a family and criminal law question. On the criminal side, it is always important to tell your PO everything, because when they find out later they will be more likely to violate you. In the family court side file a petition with the court stating that you wife cannot take the minor children out of state.

I don't believe that this rises to the level of embezzlement on any level as she had no duty to protect this money. You might try separating your bank accounts and keep your passwords, etc. private.

Answered on Jan 5, 2015
Janice Jacovino's answer
Your employer is not required to pay you mileage. However, when you drive your personal vehicle as a part of your job, you may claim your mileage and/or wear and maintenance for your personal vehicle as an unreimbursed business expense on your tax return. The easiest way is to keep track of mileage is with a log that notes the date, mileage and reason for the trip. Then you multiply the mileage by the IRS standard business mileage rate. In 2014 this rate was 56 cents and the 2015 rate is 57.5...
Q: My biological father died in January in Pennsylvania. I am his illegitimate son. Today his probate notice appeared in
Jonathan Craig Reed's answer
If your father had a valid will it was his right to refuse to provide for you. However, for a better answer you should get a copy of the will from the court and consult a Pennsylvania lawyer if the will was probated in Pennsylvania.

Q: My uncle died he owed more on his home than it was worth. If we let the bank foreclose can they sue or are
Jonathan Craig Reed's answer
Generally in Nevada a creditor of the estate can go after assets that other people got as a result of the death. So, for example, if you were the payable on death beneficiary of a $10,000 savings account, your liability would generally be limited to the $10,000 you got as a result of the death. However, it is not at all certain that the mortgage bank will go to the expense of hiring a lawyer to try and track down and sue for such assets.
If valuable assets are going through probate...

Q: Whom do I ask for my minor daughter's injury during a school game. What questions do I ask to begin?
Jonathan Craig Reed's answer
Many injuries occurring during sports activities are considered no one's fault and you can NOT sue over them. To be able to have a claim against the school you would need to point to some careless action on the part of the school and/or coach. For example, playing a basketball game with water on the inside wooden court would be careless. Matching a 100 pound student to wrestle with a 200 pound student would be careless. The issue is: Did the school or coach do anything wrong.

Bruce Brian Dizengoff's answer
Unlawful voting or otherwise making a false claim to United States citizenship is a serious violation that carries with it severe immigration consequences. Misconduct of this nature constitutes a ground of inadmissibility, as well as a basis for placement in removal proceedings. Under the circumstances, you would be well advised to consult a licensed attorney specializing in immigration and nationality law. Good luck to you.

Hello Nevada,
Largely, you'll want to file immigration petitions for them (I-130s). They'll likely process through US consulates in their home country, but to ensure proper filing and processing, consider consulting with an experienced immigration attorney first before taking further action.
