Can a parent be held responsible for a minor child's debt?
Yes a parent can be held responsible for a minor child's debt if the parent co-signs on a loan with the child. For credit cards, if the child is an authorized user on a parent's account the parent is also responsible for this debt.
Yes it is. If the recipient or the police decide it is offensive, charges will be brought.
Additional: (in the US) Unless the mail was sent by someone who happens to reside within the same town or city, the local police will be powerless to act in the investigation. They would not have jurisdiction outside their municipality or county. The proper authority to report it to would be the US Postal Inspection Service.
Can the IRS put a levy on Social Security checks?
A distinction must be made between two possibilities. The first possibility is that the IRS garnishes your social security check, directly through the Social Security Administration. The second possibility is that the IRS levies the bank account where your social security check was deposited.
Yes, but only up to 15% from an account which ONLY has Social Security funds. If any other deposits are made to the account (cash, checks, etc.), then you would probably have to battle in court about the percentage which is Social Security.
20 CFR 404.970
SSR 79-4
Generally, Social Security benefits are exempt from execution, levy, attachment, garnishment, or other legal process, or from the operation of any bankruptcy or insolvency law. The exceptions are that benefits are subject: (1) to the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury to make levies for the collection of delinquent Federal taxes and under certain circumstances delinquent child support payments; and (2) to garnishment or similar legal process brought by an individual to enforce a child support or alimony obligation.
Section 207 of the Social Security Act provides:
"The right of any person to any future payment under this title shall not be transferable or assignable, at law or in equity, and none of the moneys paid or payable or rights existing under this title shall be subject to execution, levy, attachment, garnishment, or other legal process, or to the operation of any bankruptcy or insolvency law."
The IRS can take 15% of your social security retirement benefits under the automated Federal Payment Levy Program (FPLP); however there is no such restriction on the non-FPLP (manual) levies. An exemption amount for reasonable living expenses may be requested, or be applied, to any levies.

What laws protects individuals with disabilities?
(in the US) You are probably referring to the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA).
However, the broad characterization of it as "potecting"individuals with disabilities is somewhat incorrect. It doesn't so much 'protect' them as it does spell out certain requirements and accomodations which are required to be made to accomodate individuals with "special needs."

Should the states have the right to nullify laws that they consider unconstitutional?
No. It was quite clear to the Founders at the time the Constitution was written and ratified that the states would not have any such power. The Constitution was binding only on those states that chose to ratify it, but they would then lose the ability to overrule the federal government.
The Supremacy Clause of the Constitution (Article VI, Clause 2) definitively places federal law above state law.
How is the Equal Credit Opportunity Act enforced?
The ECOA is enforced by the following federal and state agencies (based on the type of financial institution that is believed to have broken the law):

* Office of Thrift Supervision/Consumer Affairs
* National Credit Union Administration
* Federal Reserve Consumer Help Center
* Department of Justice/Civil Rights Division
Generally, fines and other negative actions are used to enforce portions of the ECOA. For the worst cases, companies get shut down.

Estimated workmen's compensation payout for injured index finger in IL?
I actually asked this question because I was getting frustrated with trying to find the answer to help my husband. However, of course I found the answer after asking the question!
I found real help answering my question on the following website: http://www.workerscompensationinsurance.com, the answer provided by: Bob Bollinger, Attorney at Law and Board Certified Specialist in NC Workers' Compensation Law, Charlotte, NC
However, since I have done extensive research about this on many websites I am also adding this other information in the hopes of helping anyone in a similar situation. If you live in IL, this website is very helpful:http://www.woodrufflawyers.com/CM/WorkersCompensation/Guide-To-Workers-Compensation-In-Illinois.asp
I found looking for information on websites set up by lawfirms that deal with workmen's compensation issues very helpful.
The workmen's comp. settlement will depend on the impairment rating given to the, in this case, index finger by the doctor when you are released from his/her care. I know from experience that the doctor may not tell you, so in this case you need to find this out from the insurance company that covers your work injuries. In IL, it varies slightly in certain states, an index finger is worth 40 weeks of benefits if it is permanently partially disabled, as is the case with my husband, and he received a 5% impairment rating. It is important to note that there are several types of Permanent Partial Disability and that total loss of use of an index finger is worth 46 weeks.
Concerning Weekly Benefits: You are entitled to 66 2/3% percent of your average weekly wage during any period of time you are unable to work because of the injury. This payment is tax-free and is based on the average weekly earnings during the 52 weeks prior to the injury.
So, to calculate his particular settlement, I first calculated 5% of 40 weeks (5*.40)=2. My husband's weekly wage was $560, so 560*.66(2/3)=246.40. He was gone 7 work days, so 246.4/5=$49.28/workday, so 246.4+98.56(49.28*2)=$344.96 and then you take 344.96*2=$689.92
Additionally, employees are entitled to compensation for disfigurement (scarring).

What is the Highest paid law enforcement job?
Depeding on the state you live pay can vary greatly. I know California Highway Patrol now have a total compensation package of close too 100k after 5 years including overtime,fitness pay, and so on. While Florida highway patrol starts off at almost 40k which is very low for the same work but different locales.
Can convicted felon marry felon on probation?
Provided you were both in the relationship before your conditional releases, then it is possible, if you first obtain the permission of both the parole and probation officers. If this is a relationship that developed after either of you were put on supervised release, it is more likely than either or both of you could be violated and returned to incarceration for having contact with another convicted felon.
Is profane email considered harassment?
Yes. Any type of action or communication that is unwelcome and is so serious that it causes what is called a "hostile work environment" falls under the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission regulations regarding harassment. One e-mail is most likely not going to amount to actionable harassment, although there has been a case where only one instance of conduct did.
