    Unless you have suffered some kind of injury or damage as a result of the long wait, then your case is weak and probably not worth the cost to pursue a claim. That is, if you have fully recovered (or are expected to) to the point that you would have had you not waited, it cannot be said that you suffered any damages which is an essential element in proving a claim for medical malpractice. For example, if a doctor give you 5 stitches for an cut that should have received 10 stitches, but the...

    The bank account aside, if you are having issues with your siblings, it might be wise for your mother to consult with an attorney to execute a will. This may save your family a great deal of time, work and infighting in the event of her death.

    There is no probable cause at this point and any evidence of your BAC (blood alcohol content) is now lost. You are in the clear.

  7. Is there a "statute of limitations" on a Contempt bench warrant?

    There is no statute of limitations. Filing a motion for contempt will have no effect on the motion filed against you. And, of course, you must have cause to file such a motion, it cannot be done out of spite or to aggravate the other party. It sounds like you really need to consult a family attorney. Most attorneys, including my firm will offer a free consultation by phone or in person. Feel free to contact my office. Good luck. Karen S. Poirier, Esq. kpoirier@holmespoirier.com Holmes &...

    Yes, he can most definitely be arrested. Whether or not he will be arrested is another story. He should consult an attorney. Most attorneys, including my firm, will give free consultations. Feel free to contact my office. In the meantime, I would avoid posting things on this or any other social media website concerning this situation. Good luck. Karen S.

    It sounds like you need to ask the court to modify the current court order (depending on what that is.). More detailed information is needed to better answer your question. You should consider consulting with a family law attorney. Most attorneys, including my firm, will offer a free consultation.
