The order was canceled and I received a refund. It shows a zero balance for the item. Am I obligated to return the item?
A Missouri attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a long time. If you received a refund, then the company is entitled to return of its merchandise. That's a general legal premise nationwide. Good luck

There’s a bit more going on, here. You can be asked for evidence that the jointly sponsored alien is actually deceased. Otherwise, he may deemed as a dependent and you can be viewed as misrepresenting on the form I-864.

To get custody of the children you will need to file for a guardianship over the minors. If the father wants the children it would have to be a contested guardianship case. Either way you will need to hire an attorney.

Their is no documentation for stocks. The estate checking account had a vanguard deposit. It sat for 1 week than removed then we got paid a sizable dirct deposit from vangard.
I don't understand. Why it isn't listed.
I could be wrong, but it certainly sounds like the Vanguard account was set up to pay on death to the beneficiaries. This would explain why you subsequently received a large payout from Vanguard. It would also explain why a payment might have gone to a bank account and then was removed.... Read more »

If im working at a none livable hoirly wage and get an inspection that Takes my lifes work away because they understamated me what do i do
I suggest you revise your post because it is hard too follow and too vague to answer. I assume you meant you received an "injury" rather than an "inspection." If you were injured at work, contact a workers' compensation attorney to evaluate the situation.
