After our divorce,i didn't want c.s. from my ex husband?times are tougher now and he's doing better than me.what can i do?

Assuming that your right to collect child support merged into the divorce judgment, which it most likely did, then you can file a complaint for modification to ask the court to order to him to pay child support. Given that child support is for the benefit of your children, he will be hard pressed to find a reason to refuse. There are child support guidelines that can give you an indication of what the Court will order him to pay, based on your income and his income, as well as the custody...

What can i do? will it affect my insurance premium? and will i be penalized for it even though it was a medical issue.

Initially the insurance company will likely send you notice of a surcharge. You can appeal it by sending in $50.00 once the notice comes in the mail. Then you will be scheduled for a hearing. You will have an opportunity to explain what happened. Unfortunately, given the facts, it does appear that you will be surcharged as the accidents were your fault. I would suggest getting a note from a doctor to try to explain why it is you passed out and explain that there was no way you could have...

My Insurance co is making me do a recorded statement w/SIU but has hired outside cousel to be there?

As part of your insurance contract, you are likely required to submit to an examination under oath. You are not required to give a recorded statement. Many insurance companies will use an actual attorney to perform the examination under oath. The questions asked by insurance companies in examinations under oath are very intrusive. The company will be looking into your finances, your claims history, all for the purpose of determining, in their mind, if there is a reason for you to have...

Can a biological father with a felony record get custody of my daughter?

Anything can happen when custody is the issue. Without knowing the poster, the Courts could order visitation and other relationship building activities to take place. If your record is similar to his, then the Court may find he is equally qualified. Either way, get evidence of the father's misdeeds and make sure the judge has access to it when you go to court.

From the facts presented, it would seem your mother would be entitled to receive a reasonable accommodation from her employer to ensure that she remains employed there. Essentially, if she cannot do her prior job, she is still entitled to collect worker's compensation. She can collect until she is able to do her old job. If she cannot return to her old job, her employer may fill the position. However, when she is able to return, she should receive either her old job back, be first on the...

Can I file for workers' comp even though I didn't file an injury report and the work-related injury happened 7 months ago?

You can absolutely file a workers' compensation claim and I would do so immediately. The workers' compensation insurer should be paying for your medical expenses. It will also pay you for the time you miss from work. If the insurer refuses to pay you due to late notice, then you can proceed with the Department of Industrial Accidents to attempt to get what you want. Additionally, you may have a claim against a third party, which would provide you with compensation in addition to your lost...

Should I bring an attorney for a show cause hearing?

It is always a good idea to have an attorney with you when you are going against an attorney. If your sister has an attorney, you should have one too. I always tell clients that someone can make a claim against anyone for anything. While many baseless cases get thrown out of court, there is still the hassle of dealing with it. If there is any validity to your sister's allegations, I would suggest bringing an attorney with you.

How long do you have from the time of treatment to file a malpractice case in massachusetts

Aside from the three year statute of limitations, there is also something called the discovery rule, which could extend the statute of limitations so that you are not precluded from filing a lawsuit. Like the other responses, I suggest you contact an attorney immediately.
