There is also the possibility that the prosecutor will have the officer’s handwritten notes indicating that the officer already gave you a break when he issued the speeding ticket to you.

She is trying to make me pay for 1/2 of it when the charges arent mine but she says she used the card for the house. As a user I can not get the transactions through Chase as she will need to approve it.

As a simple example, if the charges were incurred for payment of "family expenses", they can be... Read more »

You can't still receive a ticket as you would be past the statute of limitations, but it sounds like you may already have had one. I would hire an attorney to research this and see if any tickets arose out of the situation to make sure you don't have a warrant for your arrest for not... Read more »

He ( and a guardian on his behalf) need to meet with a family law attorney immediately. Yes, there are provisions in the law to address an individual with legitimate disabilities and presumably, if he is disabled, his child[ren] are receiving benefits as well.
For example if a section in this law refers only to “highways” does that law apply to all roadways? In regards to a pedestrian moving law.
answered on Sep 14, 2022
It would depend on the statute where each one is written. Don't forget that statutes are written in different years and times so many words may mean something then and something different now, you have to look at the definition at the time the law was passed.

It is a violation both of civil law and criminal law in New Jersey to lock you out of your apartment. What I would suggest you do is to change the locks on the door and leave a copy of the key with the doorman, get a signed receipt. In that way the landlord can't accuse you of changing the...

As a cosigner, you are fully responsible for the debt. Age or state of health is no defense. If a judgment is entered against you, it is a valid lien for 20 years. You may be able to have the debt discharged by filing in bankruptcy. Speak to an attorney with bankruptcy experience,

No that is correct at all. Call the police if this problem persists.
