Question

I have a Client who is based in Abu Dhabi (UAE). He is a national of that country and his primary business is there.

He has developed a line of sportswear and is currently creating a retail and online model to sell the products. The business has its own name & brand.

The questions are as follows:

1) The clients wants to register / trademark the brand to be an international trademark, and to be protected in all countries. He wants to register his brand in the US with the global protection - can he do this or should he register in his home country?

2) If yes - how would he do this?

3) If he wants to locate the business in the US, (meaning open stores in the US), is that possible? Can he own the (US) company 100% or does he need a local partner ? In other words what are the foreign ownership rights. He does not wish to live in the US so an EB5 is not a solution.

4) are there advantages for him to register in Nevada or Delware?

Thank you

Answer

In order to give you some direction, I am providing you with some quick answers (I am sure other attorneys might give you a more detailed response). Basically:

1) He should register in the US and his home country, as well as Europe if he is planning to sell there in the future.

2) Consult an Intellectual Property Attorney with knowledge of International Law. (We can provide you with referrals).

3) Yes, he can open stores in the US, an can own 100% of the company (he doesn't need a local partner). We can assist with the tax planning and business entity formation.

4) There could be tax advantages to using a Nevada or Delaware corp, but it would depend partially on where he opened his first stores. The benefit will become more tangible as he has more of an overall US presense.

I hope this helps and feel free to contact us for more information.

Good luck,

Answer

I agree with Mr. Nazarian in general. I would add on question 1) that there is no such thing as a unified international trademark. Every country has it's own trademark laws and registration (though I think the EU now has a centralized system) So you have to register everywhere you want protection. On question 3) a foreign national and foreign companies can do business in the US without any US ownership and only general registration and local business license requirements. There does not need to be any US ownership or even a US legal entity. Most foreign businesses, however, find it very advantageous to set up a wholely owned US subsidiary to do business here. On 4) there are tax advantages to setting up the subsidiary in Nevada only if that is where you physically do business. Most taxes are based on where the business operates, not where it is incorporated or formed. Delaware has corporate governance and securities laws that are very advantageous to management of publicly traded companies. Unless he intends to issue a public offering of stock, Delaware would be no better than most any state for incorporation.

Answer

I suggest referring your client to the "Madrid system" or "Madrid protocol," which may provide the best coverage, but is not without some drawbacks. There are several basic but worth-while discussions of the Madrid system available on the Internet, including Wikipedia.

The main limitation on foreign ownership of U.S. business is that an "S" corporation cannot have a nonresident alien shareholder. For this reason, your client should consider an LLC as well as other forms of business organization.

I cannot comment in detail on the selection of a state in which to domicile the business. In general, I would think it sensible and economical to choose the state in which either (1) the first store, or (2) the greater number of stores, will be opened. The advantages of forming a business in a state where it doesn't actually operate significantly are outweighed by the disadvantages, except for large (publicly-traded) corporations. However, I cannot say that California is necessarily better than any other state, and it probably isn't -- a careful review should be done of the LLC, corporation and related taxation laws of several states in which the business plans to operate. Give some consideration to the location of manufacturing, importation, warehousing, employees, etc.

Answer

As a Franchise Attorney I agree with the other attorney answers, and add the following. Registration under the Madrid Protocol can protect the brand in a large number of countries and is managed by the World Intellectual Property Organization. Their website has a lot of useful information about this process, fees, etc. As far as bringing your client's stores to the U.S., he should consider franchising as a more efficient and profitable growth strategy. It would eliminate virtually all of the red tape, and shift the financial responsibility for establishing and running stores to franchise owners. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney for specific advice.

Question

I have a tenant that left early and did a lot of damage (fist holes through walls, brought in extra pets, tore piece of laminate off counter, etc.) but everyone says I need to let it go as these things take years in court and it is not worth it. Do you agree--and would it be a small claims court type of thing for a renter problem?

Answer

The amount at issue matters. Small claims does not take long at all. You have to pay for it though and you have to be able to collect against the former tenant. If the tenant has no assets, then you are not likely to get anything and it will be a waste of time. Speak to an attorney who handles these types of matters first and decide what is best for you.

Question

I recently filed a motion to show cause in regards to a default judgement in nyc civil court. I am being sued by a school who says I owed them money. Anyway, I got the judge to vacate the income execution against me because I had no idea I owed them any money and was never served any summons or income execution. However on my appointed court date, the case was adjourned due to a religious holiday and now I have to go back Nov 7. My question is what documents can I bring showing the judge I am not able to make any payments at the moment if I do owe any money because of my low income and other financial obligations?

Answer

That is no defense.

Answer

Correct. The only thing that showing such information will do is give a reason why you can ask for a stipulation of settlement wherein you pay a small amount each month.

If there is no stipulation, you will have a judgment rendered against you.

Since your original judgment was vacated due to defective service, you cannot make the same argument.

Answer

First of all...when did you incur the obligation? Was it more than 6 years ago? If so, the statute of limitations MAY have run. (they can't sue you for an OLD OLD debt.) Check that.

Second...you need to see the documentation that evidences the debt so you can make sure it was not an error. Errors are made all the time. Did you have loans to cover tuition? Did you leave early in the term so as not to be responsible for ALL the charges? Is it just tuition or did they add other charges like collection fees, late fees, damages to property, etc. How are you to know unless you see what they are using to calculate what you owe?

The court is not going to make you do anything...they are not there to force you to pay their sole function is to determine if you owe the money or not. And Nov 7 is NOT the trial date it is just the date the court will determine IF they will vacate the judgment...They usually do. Do you live in an apartment building? service of summons and complaint in large buildings is spotty. As a matter of fact, service of summons and complaints by certain collection firms has been determined to be fraudulent (the summons and complaints were never served). How old is the judgment?

Don't argue inability to pay...the court doesn't care. Argue that you have NO knowledge of the claim and want to SEE ALL THE DOCUMENTS that the law firm who sued you has in their possession. You are entitled to see everything and anything you signed. Admit NOTHING to the court other than you did go to school but you thought everything was paid because you would have NOT been able to graduate owing $$. Many schools operate that way.

You want the judgment vacated and an opportunity to defend the claim. That's the relief you need. The court will probably give it to you and you will file an ANSWER that says basically that you don't owe the money...they have to prove you do.

Demand the plaintiff provide you with all the information in writing, copies of documents, etc.

Where did you go to school? Out of state?

Did the debt get sold to another company? Institutions sell debt all the time and if they did, you can demand proof of the sale...Also, if it was sold it means that the school can't or won't provide anyone to testify if the case goes all the way to trial...so there is an incentive for the plaintiff (the entity that is suing you) to settle because without a witness they cannot win at trial.

When you went to school there was a student handbook that basically was the agreement between you and the school...GET A COPY and read about your responsibilities as a student.

What fuel does Dr. Emmit Brown's time travel car use?

What fuel does Dr. Emmit Brown's time travel car use?
This depends on if you are asking about the time travel equipment or the what the car uses to achieve forward motion...

the time travel system is electrical however it in the movie it needs a plutonium chain reaction to generate the incredible amount of electricity to make the time jump...according to the movie 1.21 Gigawatt's (basically 1219 Megawatts or 1.21 Billion watts)....an average modern nuclear power plant produces around 200 to 300 Gigawatt's....

however the delorean uses its factory installed internal combustion engine...and runs on ordinary gasoline to get the car up to 88 MPH and at this speed with the time travel equipment on time travel is achieved....however in Back to the future part 2 after being modifide in the future buy doc brown with the ability to fly the delorean some travels back in time when its struck by lightning even when it is was not moving forward...

also the origonal plutonium reaction chamber has been also been replaced by a mister fusion micro fusion reactor that takes ordinary garbage and some how makes it under go nuclear fusion to create the electrical energy needed to travel in time...

this was also done when doc traveled to the futue at the end of the first movie

hope this answers that question properly and intelegently..

Question

My 85 year old father won an auction for a house in Florida. He is probably incompetent and shouldn't have been bidding. My father foolishly told the Realtor how much he was willing to bid, and that is exactly were the other bids stopped, which is very "fishy". The Auctioneer and Realtor also "baited" him by telling him they could close very quickly, which is what he wanted. After he won the auction and signed the contract, they said they will close by what it is written in the contract, not what they led him to believe. My father lives in a different state than the auction. Is there any way he can get out of this contract? Thank you in advance!

Answer

The contract he signed controls. Have it reviewed by an attorney.

Question

My girlfriend and I of six years is separating. When she first moved in with me, she only had her clothes and a few misc things. Later she brought some more things from storage. Most items were not nice enough to be used in the house so we stored in garage. She admitted today she has been moving out slowly and hiding my things and taking my things without permission. She often claims they were her items but they are not. If I try to question her about it, she says she will call the police and have me arrested for hitting her, (although I haven't) and she also says she will call my employer and have me fired. I asked her what would get me fired and she says she'll tell them I'm doing drugs, or I'm beating her, etc etc. although none of them are true, I end up letting her have her way to avoid further conflict. Two days ago she called 911. She had been threatening for several days and called because I wouldn't agree to what she was taking from me. When the police showed up they asked me what was going on. I explained some. NOTE, earlier she had been hitting me, screaming at me and had broke things in the house. But when the officer asked me if she was physical I said no. I didn't want her to go to jail. What I didn't know, she was telling the police officers that I had been hitting her. So they gave me a ticket for domestic violence. She is very violent and even her sister moved out of our house because she couldn't handle the abuse from her sister. So here are my questions; how do I stop her from taking things from the house that are not hers? How to prove that she is the one hitting me and I'm innocent and shouldn't be charged with domestic violence. And finally, is it legal for her to continuously threaten to call my employer and threaten to have me fired?

Answer

Move out all your stuff you don't want want her to take. That only leaves her stuff.

The ticket for domestic violence appears to be just a class C misdemeanor. Set if for trial. Unless there is a witness to the violence, she will have to come to court and testify. If she continues to hit you make a police report. If there are any injuries, even a bruise or if she caused you pain. let the police know. This could send her to jail. Which would give you time to move out. You can also file a theft charge against her for the stuff she took.

Answer

I agree with Attorney Engelke.

You need to immediately hire a criminal attorney.

Record all of your conversations.

Be careful - this happens all the time to men -- I'm a female saying this!

Talk to your employer immediately & warn them.

You probably are not the first employee to have this happen.

This is going to be a very expensive "life lesson" for you.

Be more careful in the future.

Question

is there a state or goverment agency that reveiws mortgage loan documents to determin if any real e

state laws were violated

california

Answer

No.

Answer

Not routinely. Courts, of course, review mortgage loan documents fairly often, in the context of private lawsuits, sometimes with a view toward possible law violations, but only when asked to do so by a party to a suit. The attorney general is probably on the lookout for prominent and recurring violations of the law. However, there is no agency that reviews loan documents before they are signed, recorded and effective.

Question

I had a lot of issues with my exhusband after we got divorced where he was dragging me to court for nonsense all the time. The judge (in Texas) finally ordered that he reimburse me for all legal expenses and back medical bills for my kids. It wasn't a lot of money -- a bit over $3,000. I tried to get it from him, but never could. This happened back in 2000. I finally gave up due to the stress it was causing the children. They are grown now, and I really could use the money. How hard would it be to collect. The guy is loaded. He got a huge inheritance from his mother. So this would be like pennies to him. He just doesn't want to give it to "me".

Answer

It depends on when you last tried to collect it from him. Odds are you have waited too long and the judgment has gone stale. You should consult with a local attorney and share all the detailed facts and see if you have any rights left.

Question

Hello,

I live in Los Angeles and have been renting a two bedroom apartment for a little over a year.

I'm in the process of moving out and my landlord is trying to deduct a cleaning fee from my security deposit. I would be fine with paying this, however, she already charged me a cleaning fee to move into the place.

I also know that she charged the lady that was previously in my apartment a cleaning fee when she moved out. I don't understand why she would have to deep clean the apartment twice.

And I'm pretty certain she is going to charge the new tenant a cleaning fee to move in because that's what she did to the new tenant next door.

Is this legal or am I being taking advantage of?

Any help would be great.

Thank you.

Answer

If you have paid a security deposit and a cleaning fee on move-in, you probably should not owe a cleaning fee upon move out. I recommend that you review the residential tenant informational materials at the California Department of Consumer Affairs website. Once you move out the landlord has 21 days to provide you with either a full refund or alternative an itemized statement of any deductions that are being made from the security deposit. If you have objections to any charges you should consider trying to take the matter to mediation or alternatively going to Small Claims Court.

Answer

I agree with Ms. Macklin that this is almost certainly illegal. Rather than contact the Dept of Consumer Affairs, however, since you are under the jurisdiction of the L.A. Rent Board by your zip code, I would recommend you contact the Rent Board and see about filing a complaint.

Yesterday me and 2 friends were coining back from subway. And we're walking across the street and a car is approaching us a very high speed 50-60, in a 35, at a red light, with his high beams on at 1020pm, with no need for them. He was closer than I would hae liked and put my hand up to block the light. And one of my friends yelled slow down. He proseded to U turn and stop us. After some time they find marijuana on my person, under 20g's, it was probley a gram. I was put into cuffs and stayed at te scene. After the other 2 people I were with went home they contacted my mother. During this time it went from one cop to 5+. Being here over a gram of weed. They were repeatedly cursing at us, one officer droped my iPod on the ground.

Question

Can an occupant who did not sign the lease be held responsible?

Answer

For the lease? Not as far as the apartment is concerned. However, if there is an oral agreement between the parties, then the one who paid the bills / lease might be able to sue in small claims court.

For damages the unsigned person does, yes, but the other person who ends up having to pay it to the apartment complex will have to pursue the unsigned person.

What martial art suits me best?

What martial art suits me best?
As a blackbelt minimum in these atyles i.e shorinjiryu,Brazilian jui jitsu, judo,akido,krav maga and it took 28 year i started shorin at 11. i was funamentally due my blackbelt 16 in that ryu. I styaed till22 where became a 4th dan. Shorin incorporates a hybrid approach due to all the destruction of our tradtional and will be missed stles with cross training. The hombe in Osak,Japan had to adapt a more diverse ryu to compete. So they decided on most call it Brazilian jui jitsu but we was told akijuijitsu. The incorporated a wrestling stylealthought American wrestling is much more proficent but doesnt have the striking, submissions as judo but it's a much better type of grounding and controlling him there. The added akido for a wildcard due to the fact most when encountering a nidan at the most a attack startegy is out of the question u resort to staying away and using a striking style to offset that that's where the karate in Shorin is equivalent to tae kwon do or gojo. You have a minimum of 10 kicks and directions , angles of these,then the hands, elbows,knees are about 3/4 as muai thai. So thenalong with jui jitsu which has as many or more submissions but have not as much submission defense if i guessed i say 80% of Gracie cause no matter what one says gracie is with out a doubt unmatched. I got the permision when i became accepted in the All Nothern japan krate kempo teachers guild to instruct and was a sempai and a 3 year probation sensei till I was requested to be at the hombu in Osaka for the 9th dan master of Shorinji ryu and Grand Master a one and only 10th dan. i had somewhere near 60 kata, had 8 kumite matches without over a 60 sec break between each 3 min round of 3 rounds you have to complete a minimum of 60 of the 120+ kata you practiced. So after 6 hrs of this a 10 page essay onshorin and what addition of Krav maga I incorporated into my dojo effected and if positive how. i was a sandan then aftre the p.test and a 10 page essay and ettiquette observation I was permanetly a sensei and rokudan and awarded a award for adding and afterwards sharing Km there a honor as a martial art visionary. I am no visionary but know martial arts and say the best Bakca Shorinjiryu To. karate,jui-jitsu,judo,akido,krav maga and all incorporate theri own perspectuve kubudo in each so technically 4 of the 5 due jui jitsu has no kubudo we offer. If u attend this stylr and complete the entire course u will have minimumally a black belt in karate,Judo,Akido,Ji-Jitsu and Krav Maga. We are in talks with a sambolegend to think of incorporated this. I have been told advance to 7th dan its my goal. Its rumoured that savate is being seekd out for influential legen to teach. I am sure in 6 to 7 year that's my goal for 8th dan and possibly a direcor's position. So give it a try say 12 year one style has karate,jui jitsu,judo,akido,krav maga, sambo, and savate. And Kubudo with bo,nunchuku,tonfa,sai,katana, naginata,Kugariami and yumi as the weapons we teach eac has 10+ kata

Question

I was going about twenty miles an hour on a freeway exit and there was a women driving at I higher speed behind me and I fish tailed and as I tried to straighten out she side swiped me. I'm liable?

Answer

Probably not. She was unable to control her car to avoid an accident - as long as your speed was prudent and reasonable under the driving circumstances.

Answer

You may possibly be liable but that's hard to tell without further description. The speed of your vehicle is a factor in deciding whether or not you were driving reasonably. There is an argument to be made on both sides, for and against liability. That being said, other drivers must use caution when overtaking slower vehicles.

Question

I was terminated from my position as a Co Manager at a large bank in Nevada. They terminated me because on my day off I had to go to the branch to get information for a conference call. Since it was my day off and before business hours I took my kids with me. They said I violated company policy and terminated me for the violation. I had never received any write ups or warnings throughout my employment with them. In addition in Jan. my operations specialist asked me to come in on my day off to open the branch because the other employee did not have an alarm code or vault combo. I told her I would have my kids with me and she stated that was fine just bring them with me. My district manager has also had her son in the office before as well as other managers and they were not disciplined or terminated. Can i be fired for a policy I did not know existed? Also i believe my district manager targeted me because I was not part of the clique. This same DM has fired 7 managers in her district within the last 5 months. There are only 16 branches so that is half of the managers. All of us who have been fired were not part of her clique. There were numerous times in the last few months that she reprimanded me because I did not socialize with the other managers outside of work. The managers and DM would frequently go out late after work to drink. I had already explained to her that I am a working mother and attending school full time and I was not able to go out and party. Is it legal for her to fire me for something she does as well? Is there any legal action I can take? I did call the regional manager to ask for my job back and she was not aware I had been fired. I gave her the circumstances and she told me the termination stands. She did not seem to care that the DM and many other managers had broken the same policy they said I broke. I also had a question about implied contracts. For the last several months my DM told me on several occasions I was going to be the next Branch Manager. Is a promise of promotion an implied contract? I would appreciate any advice you can give me.

Answer

First, it is very doubtful that you will be able to maintain (and prevail) on a breach of implied contract cause of action. In short, you will likely have serious problems demonstrating a contract element called "consideration."

Next, you should immediately apply for unemployment benefits. If you live in the Las Vegas area, you can apply by telephone. Call (702) 486-0350. You can also apply online. Visit detr.state.nv.us. If you are denied benefits, you should contact an attorney immediately.

With regard to "wrongful termination," Nevada is an "at-will" employment state, also known as a "right-to-work" state. Generally, this means that you can be terminated for any reason or no reason at all. There are a few exceptions, however. For example, you may have a viable cause of action if you were terminated based upon, inter alia, your sex, national origin, race, color, religion, age, diability, or sexual orientation. There are also whistleblower protections that can come into play.

Keep in mind, however, that not all discrimination is unlawful. For example, an employer can discriminate based upon instances of tardiness, giving the best shifts to those employees who are tardy the least. If you feel that you have been subjected to unlawful discrimination, you should contact an attorney.

Can I change a lease as a landlord for health reasons?

Question

Can I change a lease as a landlord for health reasons?

Answer

Not without providing more detail. But know this: you cannot cancel or change a lease until it expires, even if it means your life or death. You leased the property and as long as the rent is paid or tendered, you can't get the tenant out. Make one wrong move and you can lose the house, and more.

Question

Answer

If you actually were sentenced to 'prison' and not just jail, then you are a convicted felon. That means you are barred for life from possessing any firearms or ammo. If you actually were only sentenced to 'jail' on a misdemeanor, that ban does not apply.

Question

My ex husband sends our children to my ex-boyfriend's house against my wishes. We share legal custody. Can I prevent him from doing this?

Additionally, he has made arrangements for the children to go to Nevada to visit his ex-girlfriend against my wishes. What can I do about this/ What are my legal rights about this?

Answer

It would be appropriate to return to court on a request for order to deal with these issues. It also would be beneficial if you both participate in coparenting counseling to address these communication problems.

I have questions regarding an irrevocable trust.1) I would like to place a Florida condo apartment and my life insurance in an irrevocable t...

Question

I have questions regarding an irrevocable trust.

1) I would like to place a Florida condo apartment and my life insurance in an irrevocable trust. My girlfriend lives in a subsidized apartment in NJ and will get a Medicaid benefit soon. I would like my girlfriend and her daughter will be able to get this condo apartment as well as my Life insurance benefit after my death. However I also would like to apply for a Medicaid and a subsidized apartment in NJ (I already in a waiting list and may get it soon). As far as I know, it is legal ( because, once my Florida condo-apartment will be in the possession of the irrevocable trust, then I am not the owner of it since anymore since that day. If I do not own anything, then I may be eligible for a subsidized apartment and Medicaid. Is it true?)

If yes, then another question:

-----------------------

After my death this condo apartment will stay in the same trust for the benefit of my girlfriend. and after her death - to your daughter.

I am afraid, that not my girlfriend neater her daughter will get anything after my death, because the Government will subtract all expenses it will spend for my Medicaid and subsidized apartment from my trust assets. And I also think that my stepdaughter will get zero after the death of my girlfriend because of the same reason( my girlfriend already lives in a subsidized apartment in NJ and gets Medicaid). In other words, are there any differences ( in term of above listed question between a Special Need Trusts and just regular Irrecoverable Trusts? In a special need trust a beneficiary will get whether zero or close to zero because the Government will certainly recalculate all Governmental expenses spent to the disable person during his or her LIFE TIME from the assets left after his/her death. The a beneficiary can get only what will left after those calculations. How about just normal irrevocable trust : the same calculations will be implemented as well? Or not? Please provide me with a clear answer about it.

3) Instead for me to be the only settler of the trust and make my girlfriend and my stepdaughter my beneficiaries, may be is would be more reasonable for all of us to become settlers of the irrevocable trust at once? Just three settlers. After the death of any of us, the survived person (people) would continue to use trust assets. In this situation, Government probably will not recalculate any expenses from the condo value after the death of any of the settlers, because the living people are also co-settlers, but not beneficiaries. If you think, it's possible, then the last question:

3) Should all three names be written in this condo Deed or it is not necessary? Presently, only my name is there. I do not think it's possible to place my girlfriend's name to the DEED because of her subsidized apartment, right? Do you know any other ways of solving this problem? Thank you very much for your help. I look forward to get information because I really need to create this trust, and I got lost how to do it.

Question

can a notorized statement be used as a modification to a existing will?

'

Answer

No (unless it is executed with the same formalities as a will). And now the even worse news - the statement may be treated as a deliberate revocation of the will, leaving the person intestate. When people try to bypass lawyers and practice law, these types of consequences are common.

Answer

No. A codicil (a codicil is a change to a will) must be witnessed just like a will. To be self-proving, it has to be notarized as well.

Don't try and do this yourself thinking to save a few bucks and end up leaving your loved ones a costly lawsuit (assuming you are the one trying to change your will this way).

It would be better to have it done properly by an attorney so that the person making the will does not run the risk of invalidating the will as noted by Attorney Ashman. If that occurs, the person making the will is going to be treated as dying without any will at all, which I am sure is not what the person would want.

If you are asking for someone else, please pass along the information from Attorney Ashman and myself.

Question

When a client settles an automobile accident case and has money coming to them, does the attorney HAVE to check and see if the client owes any child support?

Answer

Since WI law specifies that a publically docketed child support lien applies to all property of the payor, a cautious attorney probably would check the child support lien docket prior to disbursing proceeds from a personal injury case. However, if I were you, I would discuss this issue ahead of time in person with your personal injury attorney in a confidential setting rather than in a public web forum. My comments in this public web forum are intended only for public educational purposes and are not legal advice specifically tailored to you and your case. Instead, you should retain a lawyer in order to meet your legal needs, since I will be taking no action on your case. Disclosure of confidential information in a public web forum is not recommended and is always subject to being used against you in court.

New Mexico is an "employment-at-will" state, and a worker may be discharged for any reason or no reason at all. So, legally, they are entitled to discharge you without providing any reason for having done so. Unfortunately, it is their right to decline to explain to you why you were discharged.

Question

If i must be in court thurs. and the says restitutio/ possesion and i owe 2400.00 and have it can a deal be worked out on a commerical lease.

Answer

Contact the landlord's attorney and try to work out the deal ahead of time, or before court starts. Anything is possible. But if you did NOT pay prior to the end of whatever notice you received, the landlord may be stubborn enough to want you out AND a judgment for the rent. No guarantees; think about hiring an attorney.

Question

My mother and step-father had a joint will. In 2006 my mother passed. Six months later a friend of my mothers moved in with my step-dad. 2009 my step-dad changed his will to leave everything ($150,000 total) to the friend.

Since it was a joint will, is the new will void?

Answer

No, it is not. Once your mother passed away, theres' only one party surviving and that is your father who can do whatever he chooses with the money because it is his and his alone to dispose of.

It all may depend on the precise wording of the will. You should spend the money for a consultation with an attorney in your community who can read the will and answer your question afterwards.

Question

My Mother and Step Father had another child. Our Mother passed 30 years ago w/ a joint will. Step Father passed this October. The will was read leaving me nothing. Assets were joint between My Mother and Step Father. He put everything in his childs name before he passed. What is my recourse?

Answer

You may have a few options. Since you and your step-sibling are not blood related, you may have retained some property rights in your mother's estate at the time of her death. When someone passes their property gets somewhat divided between her surviving spouse and her children that are not of that spouse. Yoru stepsibliongs portion went to their Dad at the tiem of Mom's death. You may be able to file a Petition to Determine Heirship. The time since Mom has passed may make some it dificult.

You said they had a "joint will" but did nto describe wht you meant. If you are saying that they had one will that was to act as the will for both of them. If it said, that you get nothing, then you may get nothing, under the will. But, if they had seperate wills that referred to each other's then you may be able to say that they had contract not to make subsequent wills that differ. If the will say "house A goes to both kids" then his trying to trnasfer ownership of the hosue to one child, may violate that contract. You might get such transfers reversed based upon that.

If your mother's will provided for you, and yrou Step Dad's will allowed him to give away everything, you might be able to have some of the transfers reversed. You might even be able to make aclaim agisnt the attonrey that drafted your mother's will.

These things are very fact dependant. I've tried to highlight some of the p[ossibilities. You need consult directly with a probate attorney in your area soon. Allow them to get all the information you don't have space to provide here. They may be able to advise you as to your options. Don't delay, as some actions have a short time in which they can be done.

Both parents of a 3 year old in Montana are in jail, who will decided where the child lives?

Question

Both parents of a 3 year old in Montana are in jail, who will decided where the child lives?

Answer

The court ultimately decides. However, if the parents can agree to a temporary guardian, such as the relative who has been caring for the child, one of the parents, both parents, or the relative can draft (with an attorney's guidance) a "stipulated temporary guardianship" naming that person. If the parents can't agree, a relative can file a petition for guardianship or Child Protective Services can files a "child in need of care" petition. Best if the parents can agree to a guardian. The parents can look for pro bono attorneys through the Montana State Bar lawyer referral service. Best to get an attorney's advice to navigate the process.

Question

I owe 2,000 dollar loan which I was paying faithfully until my monthly fixed income changed drastically, now I'm 2 months behind and legal actions are oming. What should I expect

Answer

Unless you file bankruptcy or successfully dispute the lawsuit in court, this creditor is soon likely to have a legal judgment against you. If you do not stand up for your constitutional right to file bankruptcy or otherwise protect yourself, a judgment generally gives the creditor the right to garnishee 25% of wages or seize other assets which you fail to protect, including your home if you own one, vehicles or anything else of value. You could also potentially face contempt of court and jail if you do not cooperate with the post judgment asset discovery/interrogation process. You therefore owe it to yourself to immediately schedule an appointment with an experienced bankruptcy attorney.

Question

If I may have signed a contract on the premises of my former workplace (after being told it was a condition of my employment) and it was transferred to a third party that is utilizing an unconscionably broad interpretation of it, but the human resources officials at my former workplace are stating that they have no record of the contract and will not tell me to whom it was transferred, is there a way that I can make someone tell me where the contract is so that I can have its provisions terminated?

Answer

I cannot determine from your question whether you have a contractual or employment relationship with the person or entity that is currently withholding the information. You might be able to employ California statutory provisions which allow employees to demand copies of records in their employee files.

Under California Labor Code section 432, "If an employee or applicant signs any instrument relating to the obtaining or holding of employment, he shall be given a copy of

the instrument upon request"

Under California Labor Code section 1198.5 you generally have a right to inspect your entire employee file:

"(a) Every employee has the right to inspect the personnel

records that the employer maintains relating to the employee's

performance or to any grievance concerning the employee.

(b) The employer shall make the contents of those personnel

records available to the employee at reasonable intervals and at

reasonable times. Except as provided in paragraph (3) of subdivision

(c), the employer shall not be required to make those personnel

records available at a time when the employee is actually required to

render service to the employer.

(c) The employer shall do one of the following:

(1) Keep a copy of each employee's personnel records at the place

where the employee reports to work.

(2) Make the employee's personnel records available at the place

where the employee reports to work within a reasonable period of time

following an employee's request.

(3) Permit the employee to inspect the personnel records at the

location where the employer stores the personnel records, with no

loss of compensation to the employee.

(d) The requirements of this section shall not apply to:

(1) Records relating to the investigation of a possible criminal

offense.

(2) Letters of reference.

(3) Ratings, reports, or records that were:

(A) Obtained prior to the employee's employment.

(B) Prepared by identifiable examination committee members.

(C) Obtained in connection with a promotional examination.

(4) Employees who are subject to the Public Safety Officers

Procedural Bill of Rights, Chapter 9.7 (commencing with Section 3300)

of Division 4 of Title 1 of the Government Code.

(5) Employees of agencies subject to the Information Practices Act

of 1977 (Title 1.8 (commencing with Section 1798) of Part 4 of

Division 3 of the Civil Code).

(e) The Labor Commissioner may adopt regulations that determine

the reasonable times and reasonable intervals for the inspection of

records maintained by an employer that is not a public agency.

(f) If a public agency has established an independent employee

relations board or commission, an employee shall first seek relief

regarding any matter or dispute relating to this section from that

board or commission before pursuing any available judicial remedy.

(g) In enacting this section, it is the intent of the Legislature

to establish minimum standards for the inspection of personnel

records by employees. Nothing in this section shall be construed to

prevent the establishment of additional rules for the inspection of

personnel records that are established as the result of agreements

between an employer and a recognized employee organization."

Re: any chance of this going to court?

Generally, crimes are prosecuted by the government, so unless you are contacted by a police officer or district attorney, then you have little to worry about. However, the other person could seek damages in civil court, but that would be expensive and time consuming. To answer your specific question, yes there a chance of this going to court, but it is probably pretty small.

How often can petitioner file a divorce actionin Florida if the respondent cannot be served?

Question

How often can petitioner file a divorce actionin Florida if the respondent cannot be served?

Answer

There should be no reason to keep re-filing the divorce case. If all efforts to locate the other party have been exhausted, you should be able to get "service by publication", which is accomplished by placing a small ad announcing the divorce action in a newspaper in the county where the action has been filed. Speak to the Clerk for mpore details.

Answer

Summons are good for 120 days. If you need to get an alias summons the cost is approx $10.00 . However Mr. Buckley is correct, if you have exhausted all efforts to locate the other party then file a Notice of Action in the paper. The Clerk of court will tell you which one you need to use.

Question

I am from Arkansas. While attending college here in 1998 I received two dwi. I completed everthing asked of me and got my ID back. Later I moved to Fort Lauderdale, Fl around 2004. I lived there for about three years while there i got a Florida Drivers ID. Moved back to Arkansas and after being here over a year i got two more DWI charges. Since then i have completed everything this stated required me to do But Florida has my drivers ID suspended. Arkansas informed me that their is nothing left for me to complete with this state. However Florida has me suspended and i have never comitted any violations in the state of florida. Is there something i can do because they are charging me with having four suspension and revoked my license.

Answer

After 5 years has passed from your last conviction, you can apply for a hardship license. Arkansas will only allow you to do as much as Florida will allow since it is on a Florida license. So if Florida requires 5 years for hardship license, then you will have to wait until you get the OK from them to apply.

Question

my grandfather has made my cousins girlfriend power of attorney over his estate. i have lots of tools in the shop that are mine. i have been told that if he would die and the tools were still in his shop they would be considered as his possetion and the power of attorney would have control over them. is this true?

Answer

This question has nothing to do with a POA or an estate. If you can PROVE they are yours instead of his, the tools would belong to you. The problem you will have is proving that; your word will not be good enough if there is a dispute. You should list those tools that are yours and have him sign an acknowledgement of that, assuming you have no other proof of who owns what. Or, keep your property with you.

Question

I have a 7 yr old daughter her father lives in another state has seen her twice in 7 yrs. Her father would like to sign his rights over to me and my fiance. Is that something that could happen? We live in Mass. Im not sure where to start

Answer

Our firm represents clients throughout Massachusetts in all forms of adoption, including step-parent adoption (also call co-parent or second-partent).

If your fiance is interested in establishing a legal and permanent parent-child relationship with your daughter, and the daughter's father will consent, you should be able to bring an uncontested petition for adoption without too much trouble.

I recommend that you retain an attorney to assist you in filing your petition and all of the related paperwork in the county where you and your daughter currently reside. There is no requirement in Massachusetts that a couple be married in order to adopt. There is no filing fee for adoption, and your attorney can bring motions before the court to waive some of the most costly and time-consuming requirements of traditional adoption, such as a home study and other requirements.

During the adoption process, the parental rights of the father will be terminated - in this case by his filing an adoption surrender form. The father's obligation to support the child will cease with the finalization of the adoption by you and your fiance. However, he is not relieved of his prior child support obligations, including child support arrears, which you would still have the right to pursue on behalf of your daughter if you wished.

If all parties are interested, a post-adoption visitation order can be requested from the court which would provide the daughter's father with some court ordered visistion time.

What is the penalty for abandoning a vehicle im still making payments on?

The "penalty" will be that the lender will repossess the vehicle, sell it, apply the proceeds to the loan, and come after you for the deficiency (the difference between the proceeds and the balance of the loan. And there will be a deficiency). These things will show up on your credit report. Eventually, the lender may sue you.

My daughter is a manager of a retail store that was robbed at gunpoint by three men. The men were caught on video. Another store was robbed in a nearby town, and the police think that the robbers of this store were the robbers of my daughter's store. Her purse/wallet were gone through, and now the police want my daughter to give a DNA sample. This sounds very weird to me. Should she be represented by counsel?

Answer

I think the police want look for DNA belonging to the person who went through her wallet. To do so, they would need to sample her DNA to exclude it from the DNA on her wallet. After they exclude her DNA, the robber's DNA would presumably have been isolated.

It would not be a bad idea to discuss this with a criminal defense attorney to discuss her rights.

Question

I am being forced to live in an uninhabitable place because of the department of corrections. I am on probation and the DOC made me move in here knowing the residence was not up to code. I have tried to move but was not allowed. I have always paid my rent. The landlord has refused to make necessary repairs on the residence because it costs too much money. Now, the landlord is trying to evict me without proper statutory notice because of the code violations that he was supposed to fix. I understand that I need to move but how do I move when someone else is telling me to stay but he refuses to fix the residence? What do I do?

Answer

Seek legal advice. Seek assistance from the probation office. Seek the Judge's intervention in your criminal case.

Question

Hello

My husband left and moved to another state.. I have no clue Of his Address. I asked And he gives me a hard time about, he wont tell me. He uses My address for certain mail I haven't seen him in almost 7 months. Our relationship is horrible. he treats me bad i fill like he has used me. He is a immigrant with a 2 year green card. I'm young he is 9 years older than man and it seems like he took advantage. he hasn't worn his wedding ring in about 7 months because he left it here at my house and never came back for it. we don't talk often but when we do we argue I am struggling really bad with rent and house hold expenses and all he does is put $50 in an joint account we have once weekly. I constantly tell him that's not enough. he's out buying new cars and has great car insurance but i have a old car with no insurance. i know i'm young but i know that something is not right with this. I don't want to be married to this man anymore. I told him I want a divorce and he told me if I divorce him there will be consequences. What does that mean? I'm scared to divorce him because I don't know what he will try to do to me or say to immigration about me divorcing him. It's like he's saying if I get deported you go to jail.. Why should i go to jail if i dont wanna be with him anymore. I'm Scared. I don't want anything from him I just want him out of my life. it seems as if he lied to make me believe he loved me just to get a green card. he will soon need me again to go back with him for his ten year card. I plan on not going with him if I don't show up what will happen. what can I do about this whole situation? What are my rights?

Answer

I would suggest you schedule an appointment with an attorney. Your case is complicated by the immigrant status of your husband. there are many other issues and facts which complicate your matter.

Question

Hi! My husband is having memory problems, and I was told to have a General Power of Attorney. I was looking in the internet and found the legal document called Durable Power of Attorney. It looks like This Durable Power of Attorney is the one I need.

Because this Durable Power of Attorney will be issued to me by my husband, I just want to be sure that the following sentence that is included in this document does not affects me in reference with the benefits as his wife: "The power granted to my Agent by this pser-of-attorney are limited to the extent necessary to prevent (a) my income to be taxable to my Agent; (b) my Agent to have any rights or ownership with respect to any life insurance policies I may own on the life of my Agent; and/or (c) my assets to be subject to a general power of appointment by my Agent".

I want to add that all our assets and financial matters are in both our name.

Answer

A Durable Power of Attorney is the proper document in Florida for a spouse in

the described situation. The clause you cited referring to taxation of expenses or

compensation will not affect you as a spouse or attorney-in-fact, or agent. It is a

standard provision in a DPOA which has no effect on your acting as agent for your

husband.

Question

If you get an underage OVI in Ohio, is it possible the court would allow you to serve your probation in Mississippi if that is where you are enrolled in college?

Answer

Sometimes a judge will not even give you probation. If you are given probation, you can sometimes get non-reporting probation. Even if you start out on reporting probation, after you make your first few appointments with your probation officer, you can often be shifted to non-reporting probation.

You should check with your probation officer on this question. Often they want to see those on probation succeed, and anything like college that enhances that possibility they are in favor of.

Question

My renters paid their monthly rent 25 days late then stopped payment on the check after I gave them notice to vacate for failure to comply with our agreement. I turned all the information over to the state attorney's bad check program and they sent me a notice that my case was ineligible because "the check involves a performance dispute over a product or service and/or the check was a stop payment". I do not understand. What can I do?

Answer

You can sue to evict so long as you comply with Florida law pertaining to notice and opportunity to cure. It's understandable that the State Atty Office does not want to get in the middle of a dispute that can be properly handled by the civil courts. You should consult with an attorney experienced in landlord/tenant matters if you have any doubts about your rights.

Question

I am under 21 and have to go to court for reckless driving. I know they are going to take my license. I dont have any family and no friends that can drive here where i live is there anyway they can give me a document for me to atleast drive to and from work.

Many courts have pretrial diversion and other ways to keep your license, so see a lawyer before court to determine if this is an option for you. You won't get a work permit for a suspension if you get one, so having a lawyer matters.

Question

I am in nursing school and just recently got a dwi havent went to court yet but will i be able to get my nursing license?

Answer

It will depend on what you plead guilty to if anything. If you want to call the office i can discuss the collateral consequences of a dwi or dwai conviction.

Answer

I agree with what Stuart has answered. You really should meet with a lawyer and discuss possible consequences to any plea agreement or conviction that you are facing. We have offices in Manhattan and Queens and could arrange for an appointment for you if you wish.

Answer

Not to be repetitive, but it is crucial to obtain quality legal representation. A bad outcome either by plea or conviction will impact your future. That being said I would be happy to have a phone consultation to discuss the alternatives. Please visit nydrunkdrivingdefense.com and call my office@ 7188340087.

Question

I have a Dismissal for Want of Prosecution order from Gwinnett County Court. It is for a medical bill and the collection agency filed a Motion to Withdraw as Counsel with the court. The day of the Bench Trial, I appeared but there was no one there to represent the doctor, so the judge Dismissed it for Want of Prosecution. Now a new collection agency is calling me trying to collect the same debt with additional interest. Can they do that or does the judgement stand? Exactly what rights do i have under this judgement? Is this considered harassment?

Answer

What judgment? All you mention is a dismissal - that is not a judgment. You did not win the case (though a dismissal may be a "win" to some extent). If the case was dismissed without prejudice, the creditor or collector may continue to collect or possibly file suit again. Obviously, if you owe the money the best way to resolve is to pay or settle.

Answer

Assuming a dismissal without prejudice, they can refile.

Answer

Was this a dismissal with or without prejudice? If the order says dismissed without prejudice then the creditor can always get a new attorney to sue you. If it says with prejudice, they cannot.

Regardless of how this was dismissed, it does not mean that you do not owe the debt. Thus, even if legally can no longer be sued upon, you still owe the debt and the collection agency can call you about it until you die as long as the debt collector does not violate the FDCPA.

That said, there is also no law which says that you have to pay.

It is kind of strange to me as to why their lawyer withdrew on the day of trial. Was this debt barred by the SOL? Or was this improper in some other way? Without knowing more facts, I would not just pay.

Question

My sister has had custody of her daughter since she was born. 2 years ago to be nice to the father they wrote up an agreement that would give him custody for 3 years so she could get to know and live with him for those 3 years, after the years are up the agreement states that my sister will get the custody and her daughter would come back to live with mom. My sister lives in California and baby daddy lives in Georgia. The agreement was written up in California signed and notorized as well. My neice has mentioned to her father that she wants to live with her mom again and he replied by telling her that, that probably wont happen. My neice is 11 years old, when she comes back to live in California she will be 12. My sister is now thinking that the father will not agree to send her daughter back and then submit papers to court in Georgia petitioning for full custody. The question is will he be able to file in Georgia or will he have to file in California and also what should my sister do, because hiring an attorney is out of the question due to no money to afford one. Also will my neice have a say at all? She has straight A's and is in the honor society.

Answer

Your sister really blew it by not going through the California legal system in the first place and getting the agreement made a court order. If she had done that, the Georgia courts would enforce it and send the child back. By not making it a formal order, however, that agreement isn't worth the paper it's written on. Georgia now has jurisdiction over the child and the case. Everything will be done in Georgia courts according to Georgia law. She better start saving for a Georgia lawyer and travel expenses.

Question

If my husband died and I remarried, is my late husband's mother still my mother-in-law?

I'm not sure which law this falls under. I want to take off work for the funeral of my mother-in-law and wonder if I can use funeral leave.

Answer

Based on my understanding of your inquiry, your legal issue relates to employment law rather than family law. Generally, employers grant an employee the right to attend funerals of family. Although your previous mother-in-law may no longer be your actual mother-in-law, your employer could still grant such right. However, it is advised to check with your supervisor/employer.

Question

me and my kids went into a walgreens store today , we saw and man getting pictures made. well we walked by the man . and he was printing off pic of his self . my little girl 8 years old said look daddy thats pictures of that mans privant.the store had the machine were everyone could see the pic .i sade something to a guy that worked at the store he said he had told the manger five time i went and said something to her .then i call the law .the law came out and took the pics and talked to the man.can i sue this store its there fault. thay should have someone there.and you should not be able to see the pics? my # is 864-760-9478

Answer

You may be able to sue but what are your damages? Are you, your daughter or husband going to have to enter counseling because you and your daughter saw pictures of a man's private parts? Did you, your daughter, or your husband have to seek medical treatment? If your answer is no then you do not have a claim to emotional distress. There could be another theory you can sue under but are you willing to pay an attorney a several thousand dollar retainer to run it down?

Question

I am currently pregnant with my boyfriends child and (finally) going through a divorce with my ex..what form do I need my ex to sign saying he is not the father and where can I find it? I have already filed a petition for divorce stating i wasnt pregnant (we didnt know yet) and turned in my ex's waiver of rights- can I continue on the path I'm at without doing anything or is this paper establishing non-paternity necessary?

Answer

There is a presumption (in the law) that a child born to a married woman, or born within 300 days after a divorce, is the husband's child.

You need to put a finding into your decree that specifically mentions the child, and states that your husband is not the father.

Have the child's real father come to court for the final hearing to testify that the chid is his.

Question

I was ordered to pay Child Support soon after my divorce back in 2006. In early 2014 I was notified by my son (to whom I was paying support for) that he was not returning to college. Ending his college education was one of the stipulations for ending child support. My ex-wife and I thought it would be best to set a court date to make it official. We went and it was granted that Child Support would end. I made every payment right up to the date the court stated was the last day to pay child support. So here is my question. My son (whom I was paying support for) informed me that he is thinking of returning back to school this winter (It will be a year that he has been out of school). Can my ex-wife take me back to court to pay child support if he goes back to college? There was nothing in our last court agreement other than the reason for ending Child Support had been met.

Answer

It depends on what your agreement says, but generally, if he's going to school full-time and he's under 23 and dependent on her, yes. Especially if there's language to that effect in the agreement.

I am 13 years old and I want to be famous as an actress?
well you wont because you cant just decide to be an actress you gotta go to drama school first :)
Don't listen to whoever wrote that. You can be whatever you want to be. Don't let anyone put you down.
Ignore both, they will not help. Going to drama school doesn't actually make you famous, millions of people go to a drama/arts school and barely scratch the acting career. Have you got a theatre near you or an acting group, so you can get a tiny bit of experience. It isn't easy to become famous, especially at thirteen, but look out for acting agencies near you. It might help to get a portfolio, or a video of you acting so you could then send it to talent agencies to become more well noticed.

Question

So back in 2009 my fiancee went before a judge for being drunk in public in a casino. he had to take aa classes in nevada and his primary residence was in california so he wasnt able to make all the classes. the judge said if he missed one he would have to pay a fine . Well he missed one and hasnt paid his fine and more than likely has a bench warrant for his arrest. He has grew up and is no longer the young and disrespectful ignorrant one and has a great job. Our proble is we are trying to buy house and his fine is ruining his credit and he is worried if he goes into the reno court they will arrest him and keep him in jail until court date which will end up in him losing his job. Is there a way to pay his fine and get rid of bench warrant without haveing him step into court? or get a bounty hunter?

Answer

Your fiancee can simply call the court and ask them how much the fine is and how he can pay. He can also ask if there is bench warrant for his arrest. If so, he should contact a criminal defense attorney in Reno for assistance. If the court sent it to a collection agency, he can contact that company instead.

Yes. The law treats the trust property as if it is your property, so the settlor is not protected from liability just because the property is placed in a trust. The living trust itself is not a vehicle for asset protection from creditors and judgments.

Answer

When you establish a Trust, your attorney will tell you to contact your insurance company to add yourself as Trustee to the policy as a matter of course. It is not accurate to say a trust is not a vehicle for asset protection from creditors though. It can be. However, the injured person will be suing you in any event. Your carrier will defend and the plaintiff may need to amend to name the Trust and you as Trustee but the law suit goes forward.

Answer

Yes you can. You can take other steps to protect yourself, the cheapest of which is to have sufficient insurance - at least a couple of million dollars of primary and excess liability coverage. There are other things that one can do but you have to be careful about fradulent transfer issue as well as issues relating to any mortgages you may have on the property.

Do collection agencies have the right to garnish debtors wages

Question

Do collection agencies have the right to garnish debtors wages

Answer

It depends on where the debtor is located and it depends on the kind of debt. If the debtor lives in a debtor friendly state like Pennsylvania or North Carolina, then no for most kinds of debt like credit cards and such. If the debtor lives in a state like Georgia, wage garnishment is allowed. There are limits as to how much can be garnished.

It also depends on the kind of debt. For example, even though wage garnishment is not generally allowed for things like a credit card debt in Pennsylvania, garnishment is allowed for child support, and taxes. Its also allowed for judgments for back rent owed to a landlord or student loan debt. Below is a list:

1) where there is a judgment for spousal or child support;.

2) for recovery of defaulted PHEAA student loans;.

3) for restitution on criminal matters;.

4) for back rent on a residential lease;.

5) for obligations relating to a final divorce distribution;.

6) for certain tax obligations.

Answer

to follow up on this answer, if you fail to defend the lawsuit which is sure to arrive, and the collection agency obtains a judgment, then your bank account will be subject to garnishment, even if it contains wages. The wage garnishment protection only means that they cannot garnish wages while the employer still has the wages.

Defend the lawsuit when it comes by hiring a consumer law firm. Your odds of winning in Western Pa are phenomenal.

Question

I'm in Tucson AZ. Two days ago while my 10 year old was on the school bus he let a kid use his phone to call her mom. The gerl misdialed her moms number and when the person on the line answered she said "Don't Bomb Copper Creek" (which is their school). The person called 911 and they traced my sons number to the school. School went on lock down. My son was called into the office were he told police that this girl used his phone. I was not present. He was afraid and told police he didn't hear what she said. When I arrived they had already read my son his rights, which I did not know till later in the day. My son looked scared and looked like he was hiding something. After talking with him in front of police he finally admitted that he did hear her say it. My son didn't want to see this kid get in trouble and didn't want to be the one to get her in trouble, he's only 10... My son was charged with False Information, Class 1 mis and Interfering in Govornment Ivestigation, Class 1 mis... He has been suspended from school for 9 days but we have to go in front of school board and they might not let him back.

My son was a witness to this crime. He did not do this threat. On his school disiplinary action they said "bomb threat" "threats and intimidation" "disruption" "lying to law inforcement" My son is an A & B kid. He has a huge heart and is a protector. Can I get these charges against him dropped? He did not lie, he's a 10 year old who was afraid to get somebody in trouble. Also, on a funny note, his principle told him to lie and just tell kids that the police were there because a pipe broke. And 15 min later he was charged with lying.

Answer

I strongly encourage you to contact and consult a lawyer directly about your son's circumstances. The potential repurcussions are too serious to leave to an online discussion. Feel free to call. Good luck.

What does air leak in the fuel system mean?

What does air leak in the fuel system mean?
If the fuel system has a leak it would be leaking fuel. There should not be air in the fuel system unless the fuel tank is empty.

If you got a code saying that, Your car might have a loose gas cap, the test pump is bad, fuel sending unit gasket or a problem with the tank vent valve(depending on make/model). Car now a days have to have an EVAP system to check that the fuel system isn't leaking fuel vapor into leaking fumes(HCs) into the atmosphere.

I would remove/reinstall the gas cap and clear the fault and rerun the test. If it still is showing a code. Again depending on make/model, there might be a pump self test in the scan tool or you would need a smoke machine to find the leak.
