How does a Writ of Execution work if the person still lives with parents and doesn't work?

You can have the sheriff serve the writ on every bank in the area where your friend may have a bank account and the bank is required to stop all withdraws on the account and turn the money owed over to you. You should either go to a lawyer or if that is economically not feasible go to your county sheriff's office and ask if they can help with execute on the judgment. Good luck.

Can an employer give comp time off in lew of paying time and a half over 40

As stated by the US Department of Labor website employers are required to pay at least 1 and a half time the regular pay for any hours worked over 40. http://www.dol.gov/dol/topic/wages/overtimepay.htm If your employer is not doing so you should contact a lawyer in your area.

Assuming you ultimately have a good recovery, you may want to contact the hospital's risk manager and ask the hospital to compensate you for your injury and any out of pocket expenses you may...

I am being sued for causing a auto accident, if I get married will my new husband also be held financially liable

Although I don't practice in NC, your future husband could not be included in the lawsuite unless he owned the car you were driving.

If you don't own have any ownership in the house, I don't see how they could go after your fiancees home. If you have insurance and are sued the insurance company will provide you with a lawyer who can answer these questions for you. If you don't have insurance,...
