How do I set up an on-line fund raising to aid my wife keep her edification certification, freddybg@hotmail.com?

I met my wife 5 years ago. She permit me know right away she had a son from a previous matrimonial. I did not care. I did not know how determined into ruining my in a minute wife's life this ex-husband be. My wife spanked her son and she left for a moment mark on his button. Her son, my step-son, be going that weekend with his father. They saw the red mark and they intentionally took him to the hospital. There was no necessitate for this. He wanted more time, in truth full custody of the child. He had a grudge because my wife took him to court for nat paying child support. He know doctors are mandated reporters. They have to call CPS, which is celebrated for ripping families apart. They took her child away from her lacking following procedures. They did not contact my wife at any moment. She was put down and humilated, treated approaching the worst criminal without a audible range. CPS had with the sole purpose one side version of the events. And that be enough for them. 10,000 dollars is needed to appeal and carry files sealed so she can drill
Answers: How long ago was this? CPS take a long time for parental rights to be terminated (at least 1 year).

What state are you within?

Plus, your wife must have hurt the child more to walk off a mark on him that be still visible when the father come to pick up the child.

What probably occurred be that CPS filed an emergency petition to own the child removed from your wife's care. Your wife is entitled (at lowest in CA) to a court-appointed attorney because parental rights cannot be terminated right away, minus due process and a court hearing. I'm technically certain most states are indistinguishable way...you win a court-appointed attorney and if she can't afford to pay, afterwards she doesn't have to.

So, please recount us additional information and possibly we can help more...but, at first blush, your story is missing A LOT of pieces.

The Sunshine Law establishes a basic right of access to most meeting of boards, commissions and other governing bodies of state and local governmental agencies or authorities.

The Sunshine Law is about stretch out government - similar to California's Public Record Act tenet.

To request collection of your condo association:

It cites the proper statute of what records can be view by condo owners (Section 718.111(12)). I would put it here, but it is very long!

Not a PUBLIC AGENCY.

Exactly how much of private confuses you?
No. Chapter 119 (the Sunshine Law) solitary applies to governmental entities. Condo's are not governments. Section 718.110 (12), Florida Statutes, (2007) govern condo records.

Inalienable rights?

Is it just me or does everyone appear to complain about infringement of rights but never do anything more or less it. I always hear relations going on about civil rights discrimanation and when I update them about the American Civil Liberties Union, and that they can report a suit with evidence they claim they hold, they backpedal and pretend it isn't that important.

Also when I enlighten them about my experiences near discrimination they are not single not sympathetic, I have have someone try to justify the whereabouts of an employer who wouldn't let women pilfer out the trash or become managers.

It seem IMO that everyone is apathetic and that they are willing to hand over up so many central rights for imagined safety.
Answers: most citizens have no concept what Inalienable rights are or were they come from!

Inalienable rights are given by god, not by the elected representatives civil rights and human rights are given to you by the government, which can be taken away by the parliament. this is one reason that religion be taken out of schools and why the Declaration of Independance, The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are not qualified in the school anymore!

Most people will bequeath up some of their Liberty to feel not detrimental. they feel the elected representatives will protect them, but instead they will find themself and children into slavery.

One needs solitary to stand up and claim their alienable right protections, the government can not clutch those rights away, but most people will not stand up for what they truly believe, permit someone else do it!
You're worried about nouns, try torture for infringing rights. Write to your congressman and confront them about extraordinary rendition (exporting family to other countries to be tortured for information, usually based on little or no evidence).

What just about freedom of speech? You no longer have the right to protect outside of 'protest zones'. This make a mockery of the power of the people to hold their elected representatives to commentary.

Why is it legal for a 17 year ripened to remove themselves from the parental home leaving the parents responsible?

contained by Michigan? The parents have done no wrong
Answers: Clarify, a undamaged lot before we can answer
2008 is going to be my year thats for sure
I 'm turning 17!!!
Yes, we call for specifics to give you a valid answer. What are the parents self responsible for? If the child moves out, and is legally on their own what did they do that the parents requirement to fix?
Sure seams approaching there are some underling question to resolve here. First of all contained by Most states someone is not an adult until they arrive at the age of 18years old.
Remove them selfs? You mingy they ran away? Man who hasn`t
Yeah I dont think through your question. In the state of Kansas a parent cannot see a child out until they are 18 and if the child leaves they are classified as a runaway and may either step into foster care, if it is deem the parents fault, or to juvee if the kid is only being a brat.
A 17 year weak cannot move unless given parental consent. If parents to give consent they are still responsible for the minor unless he/she is emancipated. If the parents are unsure minor will stay out of trouble they should not allow him/her to quit
If my son wanted to move off the family home at 17 I would not allow it unless he be legally emancipated so HE would be responsible for anything that he did.

What happens when you buy frivolous things up to that time declaring ruin?

This isn't me, it's a guy I know. He lives in Nevada, crashed a brand untried truck (without insurance) and went out and 'bought' ANOTHER brand untried truck (now he has TWO truck payments). He bought some electric guitars, a drum set, amplifiers, 300+cds, ANOTHER Mac, he bought his $475,000 house nearly 5 years ago (it's worth less now), eat at super expensive restaurants, and just feel (and acts) like he is a personality who deserves priveledges that we (lowly normal people) shouldn't achieve.
Anyway, he isn't responsible in the smallest.
I'm sure the judge will review his spending conduct (right?).
This guy just spent $40,000+ in the past he is going to declare collapse, and he's convinced that he will get to maintain all of his purchases.
Any predictions?
I'm probably going to e-mail him this question/answers, so lectures are impelled.
Answers: Ok here we go, assuming chapter 7 below chapter 7 he would have to turn over adjectives his non-exempt property.

His homestead is exempt if worth under $350,000 it can’t be forced into mart, but he’ll still have a mortgage and the mortgage company can foreclose on it.

Also exempt are private libraries works of art, musical instruments and jewelry not to exceed $ 5,000 within value, belonging to the perspicacity debtor or a dependent of the judgment debtor, to be preferred by the judgment debtor, and adjectives family pictures and keepsake.

So he can keep up to $5,000 worth of the electric guitars, drum set amplifiers.

Necessary household stuff, furnishings, electronics, wearing apparel, other personal effects and yard equipment, not to exceed $ 12,000 within value.

Farm trucks, plant stock, farm tools, arable farm equipment, supplies and seed not to exceed $ 4,500 within value.

One vehicle if the result debtor's equity does not exceed $ 15,000.

And other exempt property, as proscribed under the directive.

Assuming I added right, he’ll be able to hang on to, not counting his home, about $35,000 of stuff, including his motor or truck.

Now he would still owe for payments on the truck, house, they are secured by an asset.

Under chapter 13 he would keep the assets, but he would own to pay for adjectives of them, normally a 3 to 5 year plan.

Even below chapter 7 if he makes more consequently the state's median income he would be required to pay wager on at least a portion of his debts.

Also beneath Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA) BAPCPA also requires individuals seeking bankruptcy nouns to undertake credit counseling near approved counseling agencies prior to filing a ruin petition and to undertake rearing in personal financial nouns from approved agencies prior to being granted a discharge of debts beneath either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13.

So assuming he form more then the state’s median income in the order of 50,000 he would have to salary some of it back. He probably won’t achieve to keep the truck, his house may be sold if it’s worth more later 350,000 and even if its not he’ll still have to gross payments. Also under BAPCPA, if I remember right, any debt he run up contained by anticipation of bankruptcy could be found exempt from collapse that is he’d own to pay them final.

Here’s my preduction, he’s going to lose a lot of his stuff, he’ll closing up paying a lot more later he thinks, he won’t capture any credit for a few years, and he’ll be eating profoundly of mac and cheese, and crying how unfair it be.

This type will almost never learns. So expect to see him hindmost in ruin in in the order of 8 or 9 years.
I surely hope that this will backfire on him. This is what I can't stand about ruin policies is the fact that individuals are extremely irresponsible about their own spending practices and expect that the society who pay their payment their bills have to foot the bill.
Bankruptcy law have become tougher and I am sure that he will hold to pay a ample sum of debt.
under unmarked bankruptcy law, chapter13 is no longer available to most people. He will most feasible be required to sell everything except items a mediate determines as essentials.
The Judge can hold him criminally liable for his actions.

If he manifestly did this, it's fraud and he can go to reformatory.

The Judge can also decline to grant collapse and make him wage all of this.
It depends on what cahpter he files. If he files a chapter 13 he will own to make a monthly expense that the court determines based on how much within debt he is. Ifhe files a chapter 7 then he get his debt dismissed, he will be able to hold some property.

Howver, If he acting this foolishly, I hope they toss his rear surrounded by the clink for fraud. Most states actually enjoy laws against acquire anymore debt prior to filing collapse. Bankruptcy isn't a solution for stupidity and poor financial planning.

Do they get a special rate?

I preserve hearing give or take a few these thousands and thousands of Canadian’s that flock to US hospitals to get medical charge. As foreigners they have no strength insurance here and it costs many thousands of dollars a afternoon to stay in an American hospital, here do they obtain all that money? Do they go and get a group rate at the border, or is this just more crap put out by the RNC? Finally as they hold ne applicable insurance what financial security do they own to post before the hospital will plead guilty them? Do they promise to leave a good kidney?
Answers: Either they leave a sufficiently full-size cash deposit, or they own a guarantee from the Canadian healthcare providers that the bill will be paid, or they payment for Blue Cross insurance for these eventualities.
The only special rate for Canadians is a 5% discount on import beer in the hospital (joke)
Well, it's not "thousands and thousands"; probably not even hundreds and hundreds. Those affluent adequate to afford the care can do it. The Canadian Health-care System does not treat everything equally, you lurk in chain, and second opinions aren't available. If you enjoy a condition you want treated right now, powerfully, you best come to the USA.

Breaking copyright laws?

Okay, I go to Walmart trying to return a paperback book. The customer service lady said that I couldn't return it because of copyright law. Huh?!
Could someone please explain this?
Answers: Walmart's policy is standard practice in most US stores: copyrighted works such as books, DVDs, and CDs cannot be returned to the store unless unopened contained by their original paper. Since your paperback does not fit this exception, you cannot return it.

Strictly speaking, its not because of copyright laws- there's nothing surrounded by Federal statues requiring Walmart or anyone else to have this policy- but because if the store be to allow returns on such materials, what would prevent a less-than-honest customer from copying the book and then returning it?

Walmart think they would would lose sales if they didn't own this policy, and since most everyone else does this as well (see join for a similar policy from one of Amazon.com's merchant partners), there's little chance that it will tuning anytime soon.
sounds like typically Wal mart bullshit to me.

transport them an email or call their customer services, and seize them to sort it out. i take it you hold the reciept??
Totally agree with neo...Ck this out...http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Ins... This is how wallyworld treats it's force...How would you like to be this those family this holiday season ??

Is anyone familiar next to this crime?

Answers: Nope, unless it's brand spanking new it would own been the type of story that at most minuscule was mentioned on tv. . . they probably would own aired the details for a month.

I Googled it and didn't see anything.
Just one of those urban myths or a wannabee Urban myth

Whats the youngest Death Sentence ever?

My work collegue does not believe that in undisputed countries children get executed?

Where contained by the USA is it the youngest age to get the annihilation penalty?

Also where on earth in the world is it the youngest to die by the loss penalty
Answers: James Arcene be executed by the federal government surrounded by Arkansas on June 18, 1885, for a crime committed when he was individual 10. He was hang.
America is the only 'First World' country to execute juvenile offender. Some states (17) have no minimum age for execution, some specify 16 years. Youngest age contained by Arkansas, Utah and Virginia where a defendant could obverse the death cost is 14.

Its difficult to say near 'Third World' countries. Numbers and ages not reliably recorded contained by many
Just a small correction to a couple of the other posters.

While 17 US States enjoy NO minimum age at which someone can be *sentenced* to death, and 14 others allow folks under 18 (but above their own minimum) to be sentenced to extermination, US Federal law, since the Supreme Court ruled surrounded by Roper v Simmons in 2005, prohibits such a defendant from in actual fact being executed until he turns 18.

Since the re-introduction of the extermination penalty, 22 society in the US own been executed after their 18th birthday for crimes committed when they be minors.

The USA, Iran and North Korea are currently the only three countries contained by the world that allow for people classed as minors to be sentenced to extermination. (although the age at which someone is classed as an adult is as low as 15 contained by some countries)

Richard
Richard's post above is not entirely correct. The US Supreme Court decision of Roper v. Simmons (2005) forbids the imposition of the annihilation penalty to juveniles, not merely their execution.

From the 1st paragraph of the ruling (written by Justice Kennedy):

"Held: The Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments forbid imposition of the annihilation penalty on offender who were below the age of 18 when their crimes were committed."

So children cannot be executed contained by the US anymore, and nor can adults who committed their crimes while children.

This ruling holds for all 50 states, so any state law to the contrary are null and void (unless the Supreme Court change its mind.)
