Question

Hello,

I'm being forced to sign a letter of resignation that exempts my employer from any future legal action in my dismissal. They gave me the option to be terminated or resign on friday and to let them know by today or i would be terminated regardless. They added that i only get 10 days severance if I'm terminated, but 30 days if i sign the resignation letter. something is telling me not to sign it as i feel i'm being let go unfairly, but i need the 30 days pays to stay afloat. plus i don't want a termination on my record. should i sign the document. i have until the end of the day to turn it in.

Answer

You should speak to an attorney before signing anything to see if you have a case etc. and to discuss your rights. Chris Brennan in our office would be happy to speak with you should you wish. He can be reached at 212-319-7600 ext 116

Answer

If you resign, you may not be eligible to receive unemployment benefits. Are an extra 20 days of pay worth losing 26 weeks (or possibly more) of unemployment benefits?

Answer

You definitely need to speak with an experienced employment law attorney before you sign anything. It appears that your employer is asking for a release of claims you may have regarding your employment in return for giving you the enhanced severance (30 days as opposed to 10 days). An attorney will discuss the facts of your employment and termination with you and review the release language in the letter. You may be giving up important rights and you need professional counsel to make an informed decision. Don't delay.

Question

Hello

My sister and her 2 daughters ran away 4 years ago from father who wanted to kill them. She got divorced. Last month she passed away. Now the judge gave the kids back to the ex husband. How is it possible, that they can go with him, when he wanted to kill them 4years ago and was abusing to them and my sister. And the police was there 4 years ago when they were leaving? How is it possible? They are scared and they don't want to go with him but they have to, that's what everybody is telling us. So when he will really kill them, then we can get them into our custody?!

Answer

In WA, the surviving parent will be the only person with parental rights to the children unless the court had or will determine that he is an unfit parent.

If you have proofs that the father is an unfit parent, you should file a petition to be named the person with whom the children are placed.

" Now the judge gave the kids back to the ex husband" may mean that a petition was filed with the court and the court has decided. Or, it may mean that you did not file the right petition.

If you did not hire an attorney before, you must hire an attorney. Getting advice in bits and pieces from strangers who do not know all the facts will not do the children any good.

Question

What should I do if I am charged with a "Disregard Hwy sign" in Fairfax county Virginia? Will going to court help?

The sign was a R lane must turn R, I did not protest to the officer because it was my first time getting pull over ever and I was unaware that this charge could results in points on my license. Should I plead not guilty,no contest or guilty? If I plead guilty can i then ask for a reduction in my sentence? Or is pleading guilty a bad idea?

Answer

The facts which you've described would seem to point

to your guilt of having committed this traffic infraction

as charged.

You might consider a plea of No Contest which is

the same as guilty but in either case would the

judge be likely to reduce your sentence (in my opinion).

Answer

Correction: should read "but in neither case"...

can a notorized statement act as a will in California?

Question

can a notorized statement act as a will in California?

Answer

Not necessarily. If it is a formal will, you need two witnesses to sign and notorized. If it is a holographic will, you do not even need notary. Depends on the nature of the statement. It must be evaluated by an estate attorney in terms of intent, capacity, and formality of the statement, among other things, before it can be offered as a valid will.

Answer

If you do not have any witnesses, they it can not act as a holographic Will as the notary stamp is not handwritten and is not in the person's own handwriting.

Answer

No.

Question

I have been in a month to month lease, for a year, and my nlandlord just informed me, that he has a buyer for the property, and that he needs my ex-wife and kids out asap. i told him that i would start looking for a replacement residence, but, it could take a little time. His response was, that he would give me 15 days, and no more, as he could loose the buyer, so if necessary, he would have a sheriff move us out!

question... does he have this power, to move us into the street, with only two weeks notice? doesn't he have to go through the court? can i fight this?

Answer

No.

Maybe

Yes

Your landlord must give you 30 days notice, if you are on a month to month lease. He can take you to court now, and ask the judge to order an eviction,...in 30 days. You can go to court and ask the court for an extension. Maybe you will get this, maybe you won't. You are living in this property with your ex-wife? This is a little weird, but if you have a good story, the judge might be sympathetic. Whatever you do, don't ignore any order to show up for court. If you don't show up, you lose automatically.

How does the mass of a co2 car affect the performance?

How does the mass of a co2 car affect the performance?
A larger vehicle has a tendency to be slower to accelerate, have a lower top speed and not be as nimble around turns at higher speeds than a lighter car. On the other hand, with a good set of tires, a heavier car has a tendency to have more traction than a lighter car. It all depends on how the chassis is set up and what kind of engine and transmission are actually on the vehicle.
