Which lawyer should I talk to first? Is having a prenup likely to make getting her a greencard harder? I live on the Kansas side of Kansas City. IANAL but I work in immigration. Getting a prenup shouldn't cause any issues with your fiancee getting her green card. As to who to speak to first, I would suggest the immigration attorney. There are aspects of the immigration process that might influence what you put into the prenup, and it seems easier to find those out before you draft it then have your immigration attorney tell you there are issues with your completed prenup.

If you have an Rx for 30 Vicodin and you get caught with 300 Vicodin you're going to have some explaining to do. My question is if I have x different prescriptions for a certain drug that produce x bottles of the drug all with my name on them, is there a point where x goes over a legal limit even if all of the drugs are prescribed to me?

There is a nebulous point where the continued possession of drugs you've been prescribed and have refilled but have never used looks more like an intent to distribute them than to use them. Hypothetically, what drug and what state? VVVVV At least it's not part of the oxy... family - but Adderal (amphetamine) is a Schedule II drug and is probably next on the list of drugs you don't want to have a bunch of 'left over.' There isn't a specific amount that tips saved back adderall into intent to distribute territory. There are dozens of factors that would go into your risk of getting arrested and additional ones that would factor into your risk of losing the case at trial. The safest bet is to return/destroy the ones you're not using. The next safest is to make sure they never leave your medicine cabinet. joat mon fucked around with this message at 07:09 on Dec 20, 2014 |

Adderall and Florida. Hypothetically they aren't never used, they just aren't being used at the rate they are being refilled.

IratelyBlank posted:Adderall and Florida. Hypothetically they aren't never used, they just aren't being used at the rate they are being refilled. This is a somewhat separate issue, but if they are not being used at the rate they are being refilled, someone (patient or prescriber) is not doing what they are supposed to do. Either take your medicine as prescribed, address the issue with your doctor that is preventing you from doing that, or quit refilling it and stockpiling adderall. What you are doing is the first step to what practically all of Florida has been doing for a long time, which has caused a lot of doctors and pharmacists to lose their licenses, and a lot of pharmacies to be able to dispense amoxicillin and not much else. You may not know this, but that drug keeps having supply issues. I've had to send so many people 50 miles out of their way just to get their medicine. So if you're not concerned about the potential liability of having the DEA take a long, hard look at your doctor's prescribing habits among other things, maybe the fact that people can't get their hands on something they ARE using will make you quit doing that.

Kinda curious about this as I've only really run into it from the prescriber's POV. Are charges pressed against patients who doc shop and obtain several prescriptions for the same complaint, or just if they're caught with an amount grossly in excess of what could be considered appropriate for personal use? I recognize this may vary widely state to state.

If you have enough money to make a prenup worthwhile, you need not one lawyer, but two—your fiancee will need her own lawyer to give her independent advice about the agreement, or else the prenup can be challenged.

1) Prenup is good, get it from a family law attorney near you, and 2) no, it should not make her getting a green card more difficult. pm me and I'll find you some names.

If the cops ever bust in toss that sucker on and just be like "We got this covered boys." This works no matter how fuckin' skeevy you look or how dumb you act because the DEA are a bunch of dumb skeevy motherfuckers so it will only add to the ruse.

I have a complicated question regarding employment and contract law, and I am fully aware they differ nation to nation, state to state and province to province (I am a resident of B.C., Canada). I am hoping someone with good general knowledge can advise me if I have the right to seek basic severance pay. I worked contract for a local company (piecework) and I am basically wondering if that entitles me to the same rights as a wage or salary employee. My contract was terminated abruptly last Friday for a rationale that is not in the employee contract or training manuals. So I am wondering if, as a contracted piece worker, the employment standards act covers me, because if it does, I can ask for money. They already hosed up by not giving me my outstanding pay within 48 hours. I think it does, but I don't want to seek remuneration (and look like an idiot) if it doesn't. In other words, does signing a contract and getting paid piecework mean I am a different definition of employee as discussed in the regulations. It seems straightforward, as in i am entitled to the same rights and grievances as a salaried employee, but I have never done contract work before so I don't want to waste my time. But they owe me two weeks pay if I can file this grievance (or better yet, explain why I can, and have them rescind and just give me the money), which would be well worth the effort. FWIW, here is the regulations regarding termination Provincial labor act And I can prove I was terminated without Just Cause (this was cited as the reason for termination but the grounds had nothing to do with standards I was contractually upheld to, or anything indicated in training, basically I finished my work faster than anyone else by a fair margin, but always above expectations, and this drove my supervisor crazy).

Assumed with all the on-line/self-guided stuff they didn't have a call center. I called and I was correct, employment standards legally apply unless I am a true contractor, i.e. self-employed, which I was not. e: also I only need a lawyer to sue for wrongful dismissal, I am just looking for severance but I need to file a complaint with the labor board to get that. I don't think I want to sue for a job that paid on average about $1000/month; it was just one line of income. Huggybear fucked around with this message at 02:38 on Dec 24, 2014 |
