Answers: No you do not have to reward for legal direction but you get what you reward for.
The first consultation with a solicitor is usually free and I would suggest that it is a moral idea for you to dance and get some counsel on the matter. There is not abundantly you can do in language of finding out whether the baby is yours until it is born so from that point of prospect you dont need to own anything to do with her until that point comes.

The singular problem is her behaviour, which is not rational. You need guidance on what you can do to stop her at the moment and how you can proceed once the baby is born. If you require further endeavour from the solicitor in vocabulary of hiring them to act for you on a convinced matter, after that is when you will inevitability to pay. However at hand are ways of getting round that if you cant afford it, for example applying for legal aid. You can progress through this with your solicitor if you requirement to, as depending on your income and what action is required you may not be covered by lawful aid.
Tell her not to contact you again until the baby is born and that you will bring a paternity test at that time to determine whether the little one is yours. Tell her that you will live up to your legal responsibilities if it is proven that the child is yours, but that earlier then, you own no responsibilities.

Do this in writing.

Then, don't hold her calls or respond to her text or have any more contact near her until the baby is born. As soon as it is, wallet for a court order requiring a paternity trial.

You will not qualify for a free lawyer. So liberate up your money to get this done when the little one is born.

It's not slander. You clearly have intercourse with this individual and therefore to state that did so is not injuring your reputation within any way. When the child is born you should co-operate in providing sample for DNA tests to establish the paternity of the child. These test should be conclusive and if they establish that you are not the father of the child then here is nothing more this woman can do to stress out you.
If you are working then you probably won't return with legal aid so I guess you will enjoy to pay for it. I wasn't working but as I have a pension above the "guidelines" it cost me over lb80 purely to get a solicitor to witness my signature. I spent nearly 60 years within the wrong job. I should enjoy been a solicitor, afterwards I would be loaded.

Our landlord won't fix our stove, i pay my rent in good time, what can I do?

To whom this may interest, we are a young couple freshly starting our lives together in an apartment where on earth our landlord won't fix our electric fire. IThe heat go out over 2 weeks ago and she still has not repaired it. she have a small portable heater sent to me to use contained by the meantime but it's not enough. This problem does not effect our hot river supply incase anyone asks, it's just the warmness. any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Mr and Mrs J.P Edwards
Answers: I am hoping that you signed a lease near her. You need to attain a copy of the Landlord Tennant Code from your state. I believe that a landlord, by statute, has to provide warmth. She is probably covering herself with the electric oven. Do you have a minister to line or state info stripe in your phone book blue page? Call around and get that info and proceed from here. You might be able to enjoy the unit fixed and reduce by a portion from your rent. The laws are by state, though. if you dont own a lease, then best of luck. She can see you out any time. I am sorry that you are going through this difficulty.
Withhold an amount of rent equal to the cost to buy a new kiln or repair the old one---the electric fire my just requirement a new fuse, but a bit than fuss with it it may be more simple to buy a fresh one and deduct it from your rent. This is the most sensible solution.

You could refuse to pay cheque your rent entirely until the landlord repaired your electric fire and be in your officially recognized rights, but you would be in the cold, and my guess is the tenant would not care at adjectives!!!!!

BUY A NEW HEATER AND DEDUCT IT FROM YOUR RENT. Note: if this has be going on for some time you can refuse to retribution rent for the time during which heat be not provided!!!!!
You have to notifiy your manager first verbal consequently written heat is a mandatory constituent in your regular everyday well mortal. If after you have done both you may enjoy it fixed then subtract it from your rent. Make a copy of the bill and send surrounded by your rent minus the cost of the repairs.

Could the driver of the Semi be finiancially liable?

I live here in Durham NC and a couple of months ago at hand was an stroke of luck that a semi was involved surrounded by and it was one of the worst accident in city history. It started rotten when two pickup trucks collided. One of the pickups went raging then and hit the right front passenger side of the semi. It cause the driver of the semi to loose control and the semi crossed the center divider and hit 5 other vehicles massacre two people. So my cross-question is even though the driver of the semi didn't cause the catastrophe, could he still be held financially liable at all?
Answers: I hope not.
Fault issues can be complicated, and an experienced attorney will look to several sources, such as police reports, state traffic laws, and witnesses, to oblige you determine who was at reproach for your accident.

When a commercial truck chance occurs, if an employment relationship is established between the truck driver and a trucking or shipping company, later that company can be held legally liable for the driver's negligence underneath a legal idea known as "respondeat superior."
North Carolina is a contributory negligence state. That vehicle if you contributed to the accident next you are barred from recovering from the at blemish driver. If the pick up caused the misfortune or contributed to the accident - consequently the driver of the pick up can not recover from the semi.

If the facts are as you state - next the drivers of the pick up trucks are responsible - they are the proximate cause of the loss- and the semi should not be responsible.

Now...the insurance policies on the two pick ups will not be satisfactory to cover all the claims - so, the family of the deceased will look to the semi to try and recuperate - they will want the deep pocket. Now.if they will in actual fact be able to rest remains to be seen - but they will hold to prove that the driver of the semi was casual and his negligence was a exact of the accident.
People, at lowest possible in the seattle nouns, seem to blame the truck driver for any piece. Some guy was riding his bike on the sidewalk here, and rode right contained by front of a truck that was turning right. Lawyers can find a course to blame anyone for anything. I drive trucks and I can tell you from experiance that the company you drive for won't put money on you up as a driver.

Answers: Darren.

I wish i could if truth be told answer your question but inopportunely I can't. I often asked this interrogate myself to those who were elder and wiser and I never had the REAL answer to this daylight!! Apart from being a long permanent status stealth tax I hold never really seen it as anything else.

Since I enjoy taken a gamble and quit Britain I hold learned that profoundly of bills that we pay surrounded by UK are nothing short of total rip rotten. In fact even though I am living surrounded by Spain, I still question to this year why the cost of living in UK is so much complex than the rest of Europe in nonspecific!!!

Take this for example. My community tax (council charge equivalent) is just below 1000 Euros a year, but it includes the TV license as well as my rubbish person taken away (which is at extra cost since you are given an option to appropriate it away yourself). As a part of a TV license I automatically gain all of the satellite freeview channel. Whilst I realise that it is dependand on the community council decision, it is widely expected here when you buy the property. And guess what, I live surrounded by a private gated community which is guarded by 24 hour security. You may reflect on of it as fantasy but i assure you it is definite!!

I also pay solely 48 Euros per Year on my Ford Fiesta road tax. And believe me the road duty DOES actually turn towards the roads here. The roads here are nothing resembling in UK!! No comparison!! Yes I plead guilty some of them are toll roads but you DO GET YOUR MONEY'S worth.

Sorry if I gone a bit off topic, but the key point is that Britain has be a total rip off for years. Why do you guess 2004 and 2005 seen the biggest number of UK citizens immigrating in a foreign country??

Perhaps people have enough of Labour crap and finally woken up. I one and only hope that more people wake up up. Britain could do with a revise!!
it was worth it for cranford.
its one and only when youi go out of the country and see the utter shite on TV that you appreciate it.
on the political rant yes yes yes it really is showbiz for ugly population.
i just love my BBC telly/radio. sorry!!
You procure the odd correct program like Earth, the power of the planet, and i will hold to admit i close to Top Gear. But really 90 odd % is crap and brain late viewing with little or no substance. Even the soap opus stuff which i have to put up beside when my other half is within all enjoy the same story lines, a moment ago at different times.
I find it galling that not only do i enjoy to pay TV licence but also subscriptions for digital TV as economically
i dont know why we pay it. the BBC could grasp money by advertising couldnt they. let all stop paying shall we? they cant lock adjectives of us up.
In a word. Shite.
Because we live in the UK be we are taxed for everything below the sun...nothing is free and our TV is boring apart from CORRIE AND EASTENDERS!!
i would resembling to know why too there is nought on tv, repeats repeats repeats lb135 50p disgusting of you bbc, either procure some decent films, plays on, or lower it, this christmas ably, the rubbish shown, i felt close to chucking the tv out of my window. what did i do, get on the net of basis, i found " PLANET ROCK. COM, A FANTASTIC STATION, GUESS WHO OWNS IT " ALICE COOPER" YES THE ROCK SINGER, YOU KNOW " SCHOOLS OUT"give it a churn, and lets rock and roll this hours of daylight now and forever, music fantastic beat the telly.
To keep the BBC awake and alive. All the other UK radio and TV stations are remunerated for from advertising revenue, so that if you don't approaching the programmes you could stop buying the products that they advertise.
Also, the BBC Chairman and the Board of Governors are preferred by the government, so that vocation can enforce it's ideas through programme substance.
The BBC is not a television simply service! I The licence is a receiving licence, which you must hold to receive ALL TV stations.

If you had the intelligence, which would appear to be sadly incomplete, I would suggest you read A Social History of British Broadcasting, that explains the history, pre-history and development of broadcasting, next perhaps you could develop and expand your protestation to the licence. It has nil to do with Gordon Brown. The BBC's initial remit be that of intellectual uplift (perhaps an ideal lost within time!) under Reith, it become an admired model, copied in plentiful countries.

In Texas, can you legally move out at 17 or closer if you have parental consent?

I am 16 and an independent human being. My family is constantly contained by tension as my parents argue continuously, and my younger sisters are other on my last nerves. I hold trouble sleeping with rumbling and since my parents come home from work late and do not dance to bed till midnight or later, that get in the mode of me getting enough sleep and does effect my carrying out in university. Those reasons are plenty to want me to move out and live by myself.

I am sure my parents will allow me to move out at 16-17, but is it legal to? I don't want to live beside someone else, just by myself within an apartment (can you even rent an apartment at 16-17?). And yes, I can support myself (though just barely).

P.S. I live within Texas and I have hear that Texas is easier on moving out than other states.
Answers: well, im 19...and its not adjectives good living on your own...but it is do-able (just barely) plus, iknow exactly how u grain...anywho, it is possible, especially if they emancipate you (sp?) which makes you rightfully an adult (kind of) or at lowest possible means that you can live on your own. also, you don't necessarily own to do it leagally... many places will lift you long as you can pay your rent.
If you want to move out at 17, you should grasp emancipated.
Just to be on the safe side.
Im not sure how to shift get the papers and stuff but i other heard my sisters conversation about it.
I know you own to have BOTH parents sign the papers though.
and im not sure if you can take an apartment on your own.
Yes you may live outside of your parents home "with" consent.However they maintain lawful authority over yo and can remove that consent at anytime and have you return home. This does not fashion you a legal full-size or emancipated.

When you turn 18 can you get your license after holding your area monopoly for 1 month in Virginia?

I be told by a friend that after a month and 40 hrs of driving and 4 days of driving school you be able to catch your license.
Answers: First Time Drivers
You must be a resident of the Commonwealth of Virginia and at least 16 years and 3 months of age to get a Virginia driver's license. To obtain a learner's licence, you must be at least 15 years and 6 months of age. No exceptions will be made to these age requirements. If you are underneath age 18, you must provide written consent from one of your parents or your legal guardian unless you are married or emancipated.
If you are lower than age 19, you must complete a state-approved driver education program.

If you are age 19 or elder, and you have never held a driver's license issued by Virginia, another state, a U.S. kingdom, or foreign country, or cannot show proof that you previously held such a license, you must show proof that:

you passed an approved driver education course, or,
you held a Virginia learner's permission at least 30 days beforehand taking the DMV road skills test.

My case be a default do to me forgetting the court date,immediately I'm paying too much with no employment.What do I do?

I honestly forgot the court date,thinking that they will reschedule but I just get a bill in the post saying discharge an amount I can't afford.The first time I was paying 50 dollars a month which I even have a hard time to carry the money but I paid it.Now it's 53 dollars a week and I can't pay cheque it,I have no opening and I have another tot that I am not able to really bear care of.It hurts me as a father that really requirements to be there to not know how to do.Now I owe over 4,000 in spinal column pay(sigh).Being that my case be a default,isn't it a channel to fix this problem?Can somebody really give me some facilitate?

GOD bless...
Answers: It depends on the laws within your state. However, in frequent places your default will be impossible to set aside: the typical requirement is that you both enjoy a good excuse for the defaulting AND a meritorious defense. In your case, even if you hold a defense, the excuse that you forgot isn't usually highly regard by the Court.
Many states have law that allow you to set aside a default perspicacity if you can show "excusable" neglect or mistake. But if you want to try that, you can't keep on another day. You enjoy to file a motion right away.

Can't speak about you more, since you don't say where on earth you live.
Was it a support hearing or a civil suit audible range?

You may be able to win the amount reduced, due to special circumstances, i.e. no job.

I recommend borrowing a few hundred dollars from a charitable relative, and consulting a family imperative attorney.

Good luck.
You will need an attorney to reopen the defaulting, as one other answerer said, for excuseable neglect or purely get the attorney for the other side to agree. Most attorneys are lunch buddies even when they are combat it out in court. You will own to show your financial status, with the paperwork to spinal column it up. You will have to hold proof of your unemployment, your other child, your indigent circumstances.

It sounds as if you didn't hold a lawyer for your first audible range. You need one in a minute; there are legalized services out there who will sustain a person next to little or no income, but you do need to deed quickly. The Court isn't going to remind you of anything. Ever. Except where on earth to send your clearing.
Good fathers tend to take out of the pit early to find work.
Try a menial assignment so that you do not have any responsibilities because a inherited man who forgets to attend a court is IRRESPONSIBLE!!!
Your situation is not going to get better until you find appropriate ways to pilfer better control of and care for your energy and your activities. While here may be certain things that can be done to curtail this immediate financial burden, you must swot up to re-discipline your life to not "forget" major dates such as a court appointment. Forgetting this influential a date is not the main problem you enjoy, rather, simply a symptom of a deeper problem pertaining to at smallest your habits and probably even your character. Many times, forgetting such a date may also be used as a protecting mechanism to avoid something we really don't want to facade. A father that really wants to be in that for their kids can't afford to avoid the necessary things contained by their life to amend their situation.

If you would neglect to enjoy a system/plan in place to insure that you would enjoy the opportunity to plead your case concerning this thing, how many other opportunity are you allowing to pass by due to a lax temper? If someone 6 months ago had told you to group them at a particular address where on earth they would give you $150, I bet you would enjoy remembered that appointment. Instead, you chose not to press yourself into going to defend your position, and immediately it will cost you $150 a month until you can hopefully get the amount reduced, or, better but, find a way to increase your income so that you can pay envelope the obligation stale in a timely carriage.

So, yes, you can probably petition the court for relief or possibly a current hearing. However, until you put some structure fund in your duration, you will continue to hold problems meeting deadline or appointments that will continue to cost you over and over again.

I utter this not in judgement of you, but to incite you to press forward and face the challenge in your course head-on. We have adjectives made some mistakes, but you are too close to the bottom to simply let things exceed you by such as this example. There are a lot of gloomy things around you and probably a lot of refusal people as okay. Find positive people and role-models that you can receive proposal from to further encourage you and to hold yourself adjectives for your actions.

Good Luck and God bless.

I moved from Oakland to Seattle last summer. If I entail to sue the moving company, in which city can I sue?

I recently get in a fluke and have to shift to small claims court do i need a advocate?

the accident be a three car pile up at the bring to a close of an off ramp. i rearended the sports car in front of me and next the person at the back me hit me causing me to hit the sports car infront again. his insurance cant get ahold of him so at hand hands are tied. do i want a lawyer if i lug it to small claims court
Answers: let your ins co. use at hand laywers, thats why you pay them monthly...
If the damages are over a couple thousand dollars, the luggage should NOT even be HEARD in small claims court. surrounded by fact I've NEVER hear of insurance claims being settled surrounded by small claims court... and I live in New York. I have 2 accidents contained by my lifetime...BOTH not my fault reasonably, but one was next to a pedestrian who ran out within front of me... they sued for $6 MILLION and my insurance company handled EVERYTHING---I NEVER WENT TO ANY COURT... have I had to run, it sure would not have be small claims.. but other responders are correct, you do not use a lawyer contained by small claims. that's why I wouldn't think ANY insurance claims would be settled contained by THAT PARTICULAR COURT... oh there is another tenet in MOST states that say the CAR BEHIND is the car that pays REGARDLESS of who's actual eccentricity the accident be. so you would ONLY be responsible for the car surrounded by front of YOU and the guy behind YOU would be responsible for your coup¨¦ AND SOME OF THE DAMAGE to the car contained by front of you...but, by law, you are guilty too because you DID reverse end the guy within front of you. In September, I was a witness to but another accident when my neighbor stopped his truck DEAD surrounded by the middle of the road---used NO SIGNAL LIGHTS and had no break lights working on his truck... along comes this delicate NEW HARLEY and he couldn't stop in time and plowed into the backbone of the truck. the accident be judged to be the TOTAL FAULT of the motorcyclist ---he received 3 tickets while the truck driver received NONE. Their court travel case is coming up and it too is NOT in small claims court.

How old do you own to be to donate blood in the U.S?

I read somewhere that you hold to be 17. Is this true? If so why?

Can anyone younger than 17 still give blood beside permission of their parents/guardians?

I live contained by California, if age varies by state.
Answers: 18
I believe as u lately stated that it varies by state within my home state of New Jersey if I remember it is 16,u can donate blood.
As for can someone younger than what u described give blood younger than 17 beside the permission of in attendance parents,I do not believe so n if so it has to be a vastly extreme circumstance for that to happen.
previous posters are wrong give or take a few California.

The minimum age in California is 17; Most other states it is also 17, and surrounded by some states it is 16. below are links with details from The Red Cross:
16 for parent approval slip
and 17 and up you can just step and donate.
