If the Magistrate was a lawyer you do not get to appeal to a District Court Judge. If the Magistrate was not a lawyer you do have that right.
gifts
Hello,
I was wondering what happens when a gift is given by someone who is going through bankruptcy proceedings. Does the court do an accounting of the gifts and retrieve them from the person who received them?
child abuse
isnt corpral punishment gone? arent parents not allowed to mistreat there children? i only ask because the police department declared that marks left on a person i know were not sufficient enough and only due to diciplining the child. I also ask this because this is not the first time the parent has done this to her child.
Legality of fees for breaking a 2 year lease
I am relocating to another state due to my job. I signed a 2 year lease and am into mo 11. I helped to re-rent the condo and they now have a new tenant secured, contract & deposit in hand. I am now told that they will withhold nearly $1100 of my deposit due to a lease fee clause. The clause is ambiguous as written: 'This amount shall be a minimum of $166.67 if lease is broken in the first 12 months...' The property mgr claims that they will be charging the owner a re-leasing fee of $2k which I am responsible for paying - hence the $166.67 fee. I read the clause to mean that I would have to pay the $166.67 for ea mo it remained unrented. It's rented and I'm moving out and the new tenant is moving in 4 days later. Is this legal - given that the lease does not state what the amount of the ''lease fee'' is anywhere - and their math to arrive at the $1083.42 doesn't even compute with the language of the clause. Also - they had the lease notarized, but only the landlord's agent signed it. In WA St, doesn't a 2 yr+ lease require the signature of the landlord & the tenant to be valid? Thank you fo ryour help.
Possession of Drug Paraphernalia
My son got 2 tickets same time. One was for breaking curfew and the other was possession of drug paraphernalia. He has his court date set? He is 16 years old. Should we take an lawyer with us to the proceding. What should we expect for this type first offense? Will he have to answer yes on future job applications to the qustion ''Have you been convicted of anything other than a traffic violation''?
