Terrence H Thorgaard's answer

Q: Is it legal for an employer to pay you less than time and a half for overtime?
Marshall Jason Ray's answer

A local attorney can give you guidance if your state or local government also has overtime requirements (your state probably does). You can also get information from your state's labor department. The labor departments of...

Q: If I give my home in Ky, which I live in, to my son (as1 time gift) who owes child support in MI.
Terrence H Thorgaard's answer
Sorry, but I don't understand how giving your son a home would have anything to do with modifying his duty to pay child support pursuant to a Michigan decree.

Q: Can I list an expected tax check under assets to prevent it from being intercepted when filing ch.7 bankruptcy?
Lamya A. Forghany's answer
Yes you can. Depending on your state exemptions, you can exempt any anticipated tax returns. I would call a local attorney to help you through the process and make sure that is the case for your district.

For there to be medical malpractice, a health care professional's actions (or omissions) must fall below the standard of care and cause injury. Whether this happened in your situation requires more investigation.
Contact a local medical malpractice lawyer for a free consultation.

Q: May family members divide property that by the provision of the last will is to be distributed equally among surviving
Terrence H Thorgaard's answer
It is unclear what you are saying: was the property identified in the will or not? If not, it would pass by the "residuary clause", if any.
Unless it is distributed by the personal representative appointed by the probate court, the distributes will not have clear title.
And in many places, dividing of a single piece of real property may be subject to local or state laws regulating subdivisions.
