Service on a family member who lives here is valid. So, IF your son lived there, that would be valid service on him. Since he does not live there, it is not good service. The PROBLEM is that the return of service will state that it was served on a family member who lived with your son. The court... Read more »

A lot more needs to be known regarding your situation in order to assess whether you have any legally actionable claims. I highly recommend you have a free consultation with an employment attorney so see whether you have been discriminated or retaliated against for any unlawful reasons.
There is no father listed on the birth certificate. There is no paternity established or being established.
You would have to establish paternity first. Then you would have to have a stepparent available to adopt the child, or you would have to have a finding of abuse or neglect on the art of the other parent and a period of time where the parent would be given the opportunity to rehabilitate.
My employer says that they have to give us 30 minute lunches no matter what. In the past I have taken a 15 minute unpaid break and gone and clocked back into work. My employer went in after and changed my time card to say that I actually took a 30 minute unpaid meal and said that they have to make... Read more »
Break times of 30 minutes or more can be unpaid, but this must be an "uninterrupted" break. If you have to work during any portion of the 30 minutes, you must be paid for the time you work. However, your employer can adopt a policy prohibiting employees from working during their lunch... Read more »

Dear Home Purchaser: Material facts need to be disclosed. And, unpermitted work MAY rise to the level of materiality. However, it depends on the nature, scope and type of unpermitted work.

This house is marital property since it was purchased during the marriage. Also, it is titled jointly. Marital property is to be allocated "equitably', which mans "fairly", not necessarily "equally". The court will probably not care who made the payments, especially if... Read more »

Only had a ct scan on my head and neck at the time of accident. After my neck and shoulder were rehabilitated then the back pain pain kicked in out of no where.
A Colorado attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. That's something requiring a medical opinion, based on the mechanics involved in the accident, earlier diagnosis and treatment, your medical history, and a current medical examination. An attorney couldn't... Read more »
6 months after taking possession of our new home, the HOA notified us that the color of our roof is in violation of the covenants. The new roof was installed and paid for by the previous owner during the inspection objection / resolution phase of our closing.
Here's the sticky part,... Read more »
If the variance hearing does not go well you may need to contact an attorney to discuss your options against the seller who installed a roof without HOA approval of the color.

The plan specifically states that communication must be respectful, and she has constantly harassed me over the last year and a half. I have attempted to file harassment charges through our local police department, and as... Read more »
It really depends on the exact language of the agreement and "disrespectful" is a pretty vague term. You might try Colorado Legal Services for pro bono legal assistance.

I was waking my dogs around the neighborhood and one peed on the grass. The area is a public area and NOT private property. He suggested I go all the way to the green belt and only let my dogs pee in those bushes. Which seems ridiculous. What are the laws about dogs peeing on grass in public areas?... Read more »

1. What specific language should I use on the check to ensure it is her separate property, e.g. 'Jane Doe as her separate property'?
(Has to fit on the check.)
2. Although I'll be sending the check 3 weeks before the wedding, does it... Read more »
You do not need any special language. It does not matter when she cashes the check. The key is that she needs to put it into a separate account in her name only. If she puts it in a joint account with her husband, it will be considered marital property in the event of a divorce.

Namely, she was in a registered partnership in Austria, and the final dissolution of the partnership was in December 2020. Please assist me on how to answer question regarding... Read more »
If it is considered a marriage in Austria then the answer should be that she is divorced. She will need to provide a copy of a certified dissolution of the partnership with her application. Best wishes!
