Living situation: Ex-wife, mother, father, boyfriend, our two kids (9 year old girl, 10 year old boy), another girl (age 7 or 8 from another guy, not boyfriend), total of 7, in a 2 bedroom log cabin. 3 kids share an open loft with no privacy or doors. Completely open to the downstairs. Unknown,... Read more »
Thank you for your question. From the facts you provided, it doesn't seem that anything is criminally. However, the situation that you describe is odd, and a court may find that the living situation is not in the best interest of the children.
In many parenting plans (including those... Read more »
I have no filed yet but my husband is an addict and I am scared for my kids to he with him wothoit me around.
Thank you for your question. Yes, you can file for full custody while the divorce is pending if you suspect that the children may be in danger due to your spouse's addiction issues. I would recommend hiring an attorney to assist you with the process to ensure that your children are protected.

The accused has the right to an attorney. But if you cannot afford an attorney, you'll need to contact the public defender's office in the county where the charges are pending to get representation.
You were served prior to Court, so what is the problem? A continuance is possible, but it appears you have no defense to an Unlawful Detainer Warrant. I suggest you start looking for somewhere else to live, and not pay April's rent.
I was supposed to receive half of 401k ( which was supposed to be frozen by guidelines for 18 months) but was released to him. There are annuities also. How do I go about accessing annuities & what if he died? Would I still be able to access annuities?
Hopefully you also had a Qualified Domestic Relations Order in addition to your Divorce Decree. Without it there is probably little hope of ever receiving anything from a Retirement Plan. Annuities are a whole separate problem as you have to sue each administrator/trustee in whatever State... Read more »

I told my managers that i was going to the doctor and was waiting for a call to get an ultrasound. But i passed out several times at work over the weekend and i was slumped over in pain several times. Someone took a pict of me saying i was asleep for 30 mins. I wasnt, i was just in pain.

There are several issues that would need to be addressed to properly answer this question, including how many employees the company has and how long you worked there. I would suggest contacting an employment attorney in your area to see if they offer a free consultation.
It is possible. But what is the current zoning? And has there been any applications for multi-party, or at least large, septic systems? The Tax Assessor may be wanting to assess some Special Interests, where there is still one tax parcel, but several sub-parcels are apportioned for taxes.
I worked for a pharmacy in Ky and was not paid for hours worked or reimbursed for expenses like mileage and hotel bills that were agreed to be paid by owner. I live in TN and the owner lives in TN, but the business is incorporated. What state do I file a complaint in as far as small claims court?
Kentucky is the venue of the contract and its breach, so I would file there first. If successful, it will be a foreign judgment which must be used in TN to collect. If you file in General Sessions here, defendant will claim no jurisdiction.
The owner, landlord or possibly even the tenant, can file an Unlawful Detainer Action against you. It will take just over a month to remove you from possession.
there’s 3 different charges, one going back 3 years. i heard that they go away after “7 years off being on your credit report.”
Broad question- "what happens to whom?"
A financial institution's "charge-off" is an internal accounting and regulatory function; a charge-off by your lender in no way affects or reduces your legal obligation to repay the debt.
The length of time an... Read more »
options on appealing subject matters jurisdictiion.
First, I am not a Tennessee lawyer. That being said, whatever are the issues you intend to raise on appeal, the time to appeal is the same. Usually, it's 30 days from the final judgment of the court below. Once the appeal is noted, when you file your brief, you can raise the issue of subject... Read more »
I was changing lanes and didn't realize the car in front of me came to a complete stop. I ended up rear-ending her. Both cars totaled. Neither one of us was injured. I am given the option to pay fine online. Should I plea no contest or guilty? I am also supposed to check waive right to a... Read more »
Either plea means you are guilty of the Rule of the Road Violation. That means negligence per se when you are sued for causing damages to the car you hit. If you have insurance, call them and ask for advice. If you try it, you will lose anyway. It will be alot better if your insurance... Read more »

It sounds like you did not check the title and/or needed a survey prior to purchase. Two title searches must be performed on the adjoining properties. Possibly a boundary line survey and/or boundary line agreement is needed. Hopefully suit for a Boundary Dispute can be avoided, but both... Read more »

If you were convicted of DUI, usually the only way to get a TNDL until the entire Sentence is completed and paid, is to apply for the Interlock Device. If you do not have an attorney, then you might ask the Court Clerk to assist you in applying for the Judge's Order. Then you have to... Read more »
You need to post this question in Indiana, not Tennessee. But usually you have to do what the Probation Officers say regardless, or they will violate you... And you are the one that goes to Jail or Prison. They may assign you another PO in time, but do not complain now.
My boyfriend of 9 months was arrested and I am the alleged victim. We were fighting that night but I didn'tcall the police. My mom called them after I called her for a ride. She hates my bf.

It will not be that easy for the charges to be dropped. And they are very serious. He needs a competent attorney today, and you do not need to communicate with him in any way. You may need your own attorney if you are not careful. Without proof the State's Case will be dismissed. But... Read more »
With his consent, if removed as co-executor, can we stop the IRS from taking assets?
Hopefully you have not filed Probate yet. In any event you need a competent attorney to handle this. You are correct that the Brother should not be an Executor, and the Court will not have a problem with that. The Estate should not be victimized by your Brother's tax situation, but it could...
