EXCELENT CUSTOMER SERVICE,RESOLVED ALL MY PROBLEMS THANK YOU

Erik Nothem

Sep 23, 2022

I am a single dad of a 3-year-old little girl. I currently have sole legal custody. Her mother has mental health issues, has used household chemicals on herself and my daughter, and has lost custody of her other 3 children. She has committed domestic violence against me. She files non-stop motions I am constantly forced to respond to. I lost my job as a result, am going to school, defend myself in court, and care for my daughter full-time. I currently receive state benefits and am trying to gain meaningful employment in a new field while battling an abuse ex for my daughter's protection. I applied for Nevada Legal Aid for representation twice. They denied me once for reasons that sounded reasonable at the time even though the person who referred me had identical circumstances and they chose to help HER. However, SHE had a DV on her record and my record is clean. I satisfied their requests and for a second time and they still denied me. The first "screener" was nice and polite but denied me. The second "screener" Irene had no personality or signs of any customer relation skills and didn't even allow me a proper interview. If Legal Aid Center of Nevada is not willing to help me, who can they help?? I will be looking into appealing their decision and making it known to their donors. I believe this service was set up for people like me and I am still not understanding why they refused me assistance. I am a loving and involved father in a tough spot who only wishes to protect his child. They sent me a bs letter advising me they had limited space. The application had indicators that it was specifically for women and my gut tells me that my sex may have had something to do with my denial. Anyone else feel this way?

Questions & Answers

Can the mother of my children move out the State of Nevada with my children that live with both parents with out my permission?

Timothy Jones | Oct 12, 2018
Joshua D | Oct 12, 2018

I am going through this right now. My wife took them secretly. When she thought I’d bring the law into it she claimed rape, abuse, abuse of my children, drugging her, drugging children, and all kinds of other false allegations. Of course law enforcement found nothing. They even found she lied. Of course she did not get in any legal trouble because out of her gender. She even brought a civil suit that I won. But now there is one thing she has I did not know she even received...a Harrasment order that she got without me being served or even emailed. I can't even call my kids. So now I have to get this repealed. She gets caught lying to CPS about molestation and gets to keep the kids. I have broken no laws and sit heartbroken. My kids even asked CPS when they can see their Daddy. Still I wait. This process is not for Dads that care live their children. Next time I hear dead beat dad in going to think dad that got beat. Up and just gave up.

Legal Aid is federally funded. So no, you should not be charged unless you choose to hire somebody not affiliated with Legal Aid. I would suggest you browse their website and give them a call.

Hi I’m Carol bayer I retired in 2017 and I went bankrupt chapter 7 in 2015 how long does it take till I can get my good credit back or get credit at all I get a credit card

CAROLYN bayer | Oct 12, 2019
Ricky Acklin-Cunningham | Oct 12, 2019

Carolyn, That question is open-ended and could take you in a few directions. A bankruptcy will usually show up on a credit history for 7-10 years but good credit can be reestablished in a much shorter time. Depends on when you get started, the strategy you use and how serious you take financial planning. I don't have any expectation of financial gain from the referral but you may benefit from a search for an answer at: thecreditsolutionprogram.com and pick Mike Roberts brain for an effective strategy.

Bernadette Cassa | Oct 12, 2018
Christian Gutierrez | Oct 12, 2018

In not a lawyer, but yes he can. He has to fallow something called due process and go through the eviction process. Also, if you have any receipts of any payments youve made, id get and keep them safe so you have proof. Also, if you're married, i believe you have equall rites to the house and equity. So, if youre married, i suggest you get youre fair share... Get your evidence, do it incognito, and keep moving forward... Youve got this. You have many rights...

You should probably consult with a lawyer. It can take a few weeks. You can also file a motion for order shortening time . That might help.

Mikea Gilbert | Apr 14, 2022
Pedro Contreras | Apr 14, 2022

In Nevada, a landlord can evict a tenant for NO PAYING rent or for VIOLATING the lease or rental agreement. However, the tenant may have some options, or legal defenses, available to challenge the eviction. 🥊😉

I live in a room for rent with my husband he started renting the room 4 months ago I've been here for a month 1/2 he said I need to get out tommorowmy son just paid him 100 dollars two weeks ago what are my rights

Melocka Williams | Oct 11, 2020
Laura V | Oct 11, 2020

I'm not a lawyer, though if he is the only name on the lease of the rental room, I don't believe you can stay. If you're on the lease, he cannot ask you to leave. I'm sorry you and your husband are going through this difficult time. Sometimes you have to step back and ask yourself... "does this man care and love me the way a man should love and take care of his family? And ask if he'd return the money if you decide to leave. If not, your safety and well being is much more important than the loss of money. I'll pray for a favorable outcome. Whatever happens, you are not alone. There are many resources you can find where you're from and ask for help from those companies/ services. God bless you! Look up and be hopefully! Merry Christmas

Is it legal for a manager of an establishment to lock him or herself in a office with an employee for any reason? Can it be considered false imprisonment?

Carolyn Cervello | Oct 12, 2019
Edmond Dante's | Oct 12, 2019

In my opinion is this: No. An employer should never be alone with a employee in an office. Call legal aid though to get a lawyer to answer the question.

One of them is Judicial Error – procedural or substantive process error. In this case, the judge interfered with my fundamental right to due process by violating procedure for specifically picking and asking an attorney to take my case.

Trisha Beck | Oct 12, 2019
Ricky Acklin-Cunningham | Oct 12, 2019

This is not legal advice but in a practical sense do what you need to do and send the certified letter. Don't worry about the fathers rights and whether he will or whether he won't do this or that in the meantime. If I understand correctly you plan on at least temporarily being out of the jurisdiction, if so, make sure the court has a way to contact you while you're gone so that you don't miss any deadlines to respond if the father has rights that he chooses to exercise. Good luck with making sound decisions for the young one after being awarded sole custody.

Also got a written notice on it as well. DENYING IS AGAINST THE STATE STATUE AS WELL. AND IT'S PUBLIC INFO. ONLY REASON I SEE THEM NOT GIVING IS BECAUSE IT MAY INDICT THEM. Need help ASAP.

Leval Aid center may be able to help. HOWEVER it is for low income families. Check your city court system sometimes they offer free legal advice seminars etc. In a court decree u may also seek assistance by going back to the court which render judgement. Good luck.

You have to sue them, District court is best depending on how much you want to soup for, don't forget to fill out your feet waiver forms to file with your lawsuit. If you qualify that means you don't have to pay it any of the lawsuit fees. Good luck!

Hopefully the judge you get will give you an E for effort...idk.....good luck!

I hired a moving company on Monday. I electronically signed a contact. I have since realized that they are fraudulent. I paid a big deposit. I filed a claim with my bank but I am afraid I will lose. Can I get out of my contract in 2 days?

Theadonia Morris | Oct 12, 2018
Ev Angel Goodman | Oct 12, 2018

I am not a lawyer. Because you have already determined the company is fraudulent, the contract is void ab initio (from the start). All obligations stated therein are unenforceable, including your promise of payment for services which will never happen. So you have every right to recovery of your maney. Most credit card companies afford you this relief, regardless of the complexity of the transaction. You have to report the transaction to the card issuer right away.

Klee Guthrie | Oct 12, 2018
Judy Saavedra | Oct 12, 2018

I'm not a lawyer but if the property is your mother's why would she have to give you (an adult) anything? Just because you've lived on property for a lot of years doesn't make it yours. If your mom wants to give you some money that's up to her. If she dies before she sells the home, hopefully she has a will directing disbursement of her assets.

Zach Nelson | Oct 12, 2018
Christian Gutierrez | Oct 12, 2018

Depends on who can support the child better and who will let the other parent see the child more often and if you have a domestic viilence on youre record you can forget about having custody also you do have a slightly better chance becouse you and the chiod live in the same state ... you should apply for custody ASAP if thats what you want or she will . KNOW THE LAW... It will help you . Theres a self help center in side the family court ... Or get a lawyer...

Can i get unemployment when i got denied workerscomp.. under appeal .. and the job claims i abandon job. Cause i didnt return to work.. it was dismissed due to a missed court date.. i am still injured so i was unable to return..

David Bovie | Oct 12, 2018
Ev Angel Goodman | Oct 12, 2018

Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer. Workers comp is concerned only with work-related injuries or death. Monetary considerations are directly determined on actual loss or disability (death or physical impairment) and not on salary, and paid lumpsum or as long as the temporary disability exists. Unemployment benefits are status-based (total or partial unemployment) due to circumstances beyond employees' control (work slowdown or workforce reduction or company shutdown) Benefits are computed based on salary and lasts as long as your personal benefit 'fund' has a balance. The unemployed also has to show effort of seeking new employment. Overall, from the limited information provided, I think, pending your WC appeal, you can seek unemployment benefits because you were terminated for reason beyond your control.
