    What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? South Carolina and Georgia This is just a general question as I am trying to get a little information for a family member (my husband's uncle) who is looking to divorce from prison.

    What to do to begin divorce proceedings?

    I'm posting this for a friend of mine who lives in Georgia. She wants to get a legal separation. According to what I've found online, Georgia does not "recognize legal separation." I do know that an uncontested divorce takes only 31 days there. Both of them are still in the same house, although...

    Logging Truck Accident

They were on the road outside their job site. The road is a wide one, with two large lanes as well as a broad red-clay shoulder on...

    Dish Network

    She should be able to go back to Dish Network's website and pull up every online payment she's ever made...she needs to make SURE that she changed the amount showing from the total balance due (which is what shows when you sign in by default--I have Dish Network myself and only pay online EVER)...

    Laptop Warranty Repair

    I'm by no means versed in the law or anything, I can only tell you what will probably happen. I had the same situation happen with a Compaq I bought for my husband from Best Buy in May 2003. He had the computer for less than 3 months. One day he came home from work, fired up the computer...

    Repossession

    In order to catch things up, here are the new developments. We talked with a lawyer, who in effect told us that the bill of sale we received is not correct because at the bottom in small print it says, refer to the terms and conditions stated on the back for mailing and billing information and...

    what to do?

    Seems to me you have your bases covered, I looked over the auction myself and you stated plainly in the ad that the car is in "very nice condition for an unrestored car". You mentioned that as an unrestored car, a few minor issues should be attended to and the fact that the radio and horn don't...

    Questions about legal jargon in contract?

    Thank you very much for the advice...I will take the contract to a lawyer tomorrow morning and have everything reviewed. I was confused on the terminology used in the contract and therefore was unclear to its meaning. We are first-time home/property buyers and are still very much in the dark on...
