Hi there. This section is for intellectual property questions like copyright, trademarks, and patents. You may want to re-post your question in a different section for personal property, traffic incidents, or civil litigation. Sorry about the confusion!
My children were taken by ocs in alaska and placed in foster care with non relatives because my entire family lives out of state they have filed termination and trial just occurred for termination judge is waiting for the closing arguements. My brother and father in Arizona want to adopt my... Read more »
Yes, your relatives can do two things. They can intervene in the CINA case to contest OCS's placement decision, and they can file an adoption petition, which would probably be assigned to the same judge handling the CINA case. They should have legal assistance for that, as there is lots of... Read more »
I would like to buy her out but we can't come to an agreement. Can she force me to sell the property and split the money?
You do not say the capacity in which you "jointly own" but typically in Alaska a husband and wife acquire real estate "by the entirety" meaning 'as husband and wife.' Given that you are apparently divorced I'm presuming your ownership was converted to... Read more »
My son and I left Alaska when he was less than a year old, and his father hasn’t seen him since. They Skype, and he follows his child support order. We have joint legal custody and I have primary physical custody. My son is now 7, and I want to know if his grandmother has any rights to him, or... Read more »
Yes.
It's not even clear that any action by the court would be needed. He was already able to exercise legal custody, and after your death, he would have the clear right to physical custody.
Grandparents would have no right to custody, though they could ask for... Read more »
I was diagnosed with uterine cancer after using Johnson and johnson talc powder all my life.
Time is of the essence in your situation. Although an attorney in your jurisdiction could advise best, it would be advisable for you to take action without further delay instead of awaiting a response to your post here. DO NOT count on the statute of limitations being extended in significant... Read more »
Now ocs is saying my house needs to be cleared to get my kids back. There was an incident that happened with the father and his new gf, and the officer involved instead of taking them into custody wrote an ocs report. My childern were not present in that altercation. The following morning I went to... Read more »
There is no simple answer to your question, other than the following general principles.
1. Make contact with the social worker and cooperate with OCS to get yourself and anyone else in your home checked and cleared.
2. Unless you can afford a private attorney, submit a request to... Read more »
I am assisting a friend that allows boat storage on his property. He has 2 boats that have been on his lot for over 24 months with no contact by the boat owners. What statutes or procedures address contacting the owners and or seizing the boats absent payment of the back rent. There is no... Read more »
Good afternoon:
You must look into Alaska state law for available remedies. If the contract was purely for land storage and no maritime services were rendered, maritime law would not apply and the land owner may not seize (or arrest) the vessel in federal court under admiralty procedures.... Read more »
I have an enormous amount of debt (school loans (federal and private), credit card, mortgage, and car loan). I had a high paying job, but had a mental breakdown. For the next year I will get disability money which is fairly high (enough to cover minimum payments on debt not pay it off), but after... Read more »
You have question that only YOUR bankruptcy lawyer can answer, so go find a good one in your community.
Changes are coming about in the law about the discharge-ability of student loans, so you need your own lawyer for this. But it is possible.
I don't envy your situation, but... Read more »
Yes, they have. If you have a matter you contemplate for a case, you could contact a medical malpractice attorney who practices in Alaska. Most attorneys in this area offer free initial consults. Good luck

Weekends holidays and most of the summer.the kids want to be with me more but when i go to pick them up there mother locks the door and wont let them out of her house is that legal?also what can i do about it and what are my rights as a father
Your rights are exactly the same as the mother's. However, there's nothing to spell out what that means. If the two of you don't agree how to manage in that completely undefined environment, then either of you can file a Complaint for Custody with the court. Ideally you would... Read more »
Mandatory deductions of my gross income are equal to or more the 50%.
Gross income is before and deductions. Mandatory deductions or not, it is still income. Consult a local bankruptcy attorney and compare a chapter 7 v 13. That might help.
If by "trademarked" you mean that the company has a registered mark with the USPTO, there are a number of things that go into whether or not you should use a same or similar name. A registered mark, gives a trademark owner priority over other users in the same class on a national level.... Read more »
Here's an example:
2006-09-19: Application granted
2020-01-15: Application status is Expired - Fee Related
2024-05-04: Adjusted expiration
My question is re: the last two lines. Is the expiration truly now 2024, not 2020? I'm just not sure how those fields... Read more »
Google is not the definitive record. If you have anything that looks odd, you need to go to the official record which is accessible by https://portal.uspto.gov/pair/PublicPair
I hope that this helps.

The person who held the land filed bankruptcy then sold the property before giving me anything including that he was going to sell.
If someone else other than your mother held title to the property, you don’t have anything to inherit. Assuming there was a legal basis for your claim to the property, you probably should have intervened in the bankruptcy. If you weren’t listed as a creditor, you can possibly still maintain...

He keeps making motions knowing I am running out of money to pay to defend them plus I can't afford to keep flying to Alaska. I have to take care of my child (who I was awarded full custody of) plus the airfare is just another expense.
If you win those motions, you can ask the court to have him pay a portion of your costs and attorney's fees.
You can participate in the hearings by phone. It would take some extra work to file exhibits, etc. in advance, and it's not as good as being there, but it would send a... Read more »

A coworker’s social media account was accessed by another employee on a work computer. Screenshots were taken by employee who was not intended recipient. They are being used against me in a disciplinary meeting. Neither of the intended parties gave permission for screenshots to be taken of... Read more »
If you work for a private employer, yes. Your employer can take action. The employee who intercepted them, however, may have violated laws in how they were obtained.
Nope.
This is an example of a legal word having two different meanings. The word patent used to mean a right that was granted by the monarch or the government for something, including a right to hold some land, or the exclusive right to sell a certain product in the kingdom. Nowadays,... Read more »
Our son is a child in need of aid but the court granted us full custody and rights over our child. We were in the process of moving to Texas to be with family can we still move and have our case transferred. We have another hearing in 6 months and how fast can we leave
More information is needed to answer you question. Child custody jurisdiction usually requires that you and the child reside in the new state for at least 6 months before that state can handle custody matters. However, that's not automatic, and if the other parent still resides in the... Read more »
My two older kids returned (they’re adults now) but my son remained with his mother. They left in the middle of the night and I have not seen or heard from my son since. What are my rights as his father? Can I have the court make her return him or at least let him come visit?
Yes, but it might be difficult to enforce the court order in Germany. Also, why have you waited so long?
