My brother, sister and myself were named on an annuity that my dad set up. The day of his death his girlfriend withdrew money from our annuity. Is that legal?

Individual Suite

I recently attended mediation between two contractors that were suing each other. I was a former employee of one of the contracting firms and although I was not named in this suite the attorney for my former employer requested that I attend this mediation. When I arrived I was not listed on the mediators list of participants but allowed me to stay and take part. He had me add myself to the list and list myself as �self�. During this mediation the opposing council, and my former employers attorney, learned that my former employer was pretty much judgment proof as he has no assets. The opposing council then requested that he, his company and I submit financial statements to determine if this suite was worth pursuing. Again at the advice of my former employer�s attorney I did submit a personal financial statement. I don�t have a lot of assets but apparently they see me as one way to get some cash for their client and have now added me to the suit individually. My question is, is there any recourse I can take against my former employers attorney for exposing me to an $850,000 law suit that I had nothing to do with? Can I sue him? File a grievance? Anything? Thanks for your help in this matter�

Teamsters Union

The local I belonged to will not send me information regarding the pension plan. I worked there for 16yrs. and 10 mo. My last date of service was 5/16/2000. I haven't received any information regarding this in at least 9 years. I want to know the pay-out amounts and how old you must be to collect a partial pension and a full one. I've sent letters and made phone calls and they just stonewall me.

I was never married to my 12 year old son's father and have 50% legal custody. My son lives with me and visits his father every other weekend (we all live in Phoenix, AZ). For reasons concerning my physicial, mental and financial wellbeing (I had breast cancer twice and suffer from severe depression) , I am wanting to move to Boise, ID by the end of October, approximately two months away. I understand that I cannot move my son out of state without his father's consent, but he is threatening me with jailtime if I were to move myself. It's not like I would be abandoning my son without a parent with 50% legal custody. I just need to move, and soon, to get well and to afford the decent life I'm unable to keep here. So if I CAN indeed move myself, can I fight the legal battle without setting foot in Arizona? I am desperate, and my ex just wants

to keep hurting me and making life as difficult as possible. If you can help with some free advice, it would help me SO much.

Sincerely.

Sarah A.
