PA Statute of Limitations is 2 years for a bad check from the date of the certified mailing.

Legally, I don't believe they can ask. I think they are limited to asking if you were fired or quit. Or at least that's all the last employer is allowed to tell. You can explain it any way you see fit. Down sizing, the job didn't suit you, money, anything that doesn't reflect badly on you.

Sure you can any way you want French kiss, peck kiss, cheeck kiss, eskimo kiss, or just flat out kiss. You can kiss away at any age, as long as it stays a kiss and only a kiss.

You cannot expect to escape responsibility for your debts--they have to be managed and taken care of just like other lifetime events do. If you bought the items or signed for the loan, you accepted the service or item and, in all honesty, owe the money for them. Cut your expenses, get a second job and get them paid off. Waiting for some expiration date is not going to have a positive outcome in the long run.

Assault of any type is a criminal offense and you would start by reporting it to your local law enforcement agency. As a practical matter, because of the length of time that has elapsed, you may encounter difficulty in filing the report. If the assault was related to a "domestic" disturbance you could file for a restraining order.

Every state has a statute of limitations and it depends on your cause of action (type of case). Do not trust a well intentioned internet answer or else you may lose valuable rights by doing so. This is a technical area. Consult a local attorney to be certain.

There are no time limits for how long debt collection can be pursued. Every US state does have a statute of limitations that designates the length of time a creditor has to file a lawsuit against the debtor. The SOL will differ depending upon the state in which the debtor lives or the debt was made and the type of debt.

There is no limitation for how long a defaulted debt may be collected. If you owe and never pay, you still owe. State law does establish SOL for how long a consumer may be sued to recover a debt. In Connecticut, that length of time is 3 years for Oral Agreements and 6 years for Written Contracts, Promissory Notes and Open Accounts. A federal law, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, establishes how long a delinquent account may be reflected on your credit report. In general this time period is 7 years, although there are exceptions. Expiration of the SOL time period is not a guarantee that you won't get sued for a debt. It would, however, give the defendant an absolute defense to such a time-barred lawsuit.

This is a difficult question to answer without knowing more details about the crime in question, or at least the alleged infraction, if indeed there is one. I can give you a general answer, but it is going to vary because states have seen it as their business to alter constitutional laws to better outfit state crimes, making state sovereignty the issue more than that of constitutionality. That is an entire issue unto itself.

Burglary can be modified by degrees and by severity. Generally, burglary is a Class D Felony. However, that can be modified to fit the alleged crime in question. For instance, a person could burglarize and be guilty of a Class D Felony, but during the commission of the crime, a person could have hurt someone, damaged public property, committed another crime in concert with the burglary, or have a bad record. This can add what is called an element of "degree" to the burglary charge. So one could face a charge of a Class D Felony labeled as burglary in the third degree, because one put others in harm's way when one committed the act; others fell victim to the crime because it affected others outside the actual burglary itself.

In some cases, the burglary charge can have an element of degree attached to it along with a modified charge of burglary. For instance, one could be charged with aggravated burglary in the second degree, a much more serious charge than flat burglary. Unfortunately, it is hard to answer with specificity unless the whole list of charges is disclosed, and in Florida, believe it or not, prosecution charges do vary from county to county. For instance, burglary in Tampa is dealt with differently than burglary in Jacksonville.

A general answer that should be fairly grounded to go with is anywhere from three to five years. Statutes of limitations often coincide with the crime itself, in reference to general convictions that are handed out for a specific crime. Again, that is not always the case. Most felonies carry a three to five year statute of limitation. Most misdemeanors carry less than two depending on what the charge is. Again, this is just an estimate. Many factors affect statutes of limitations. Motions can be brought before a court to prolong statute limitations if there is an active investigation on a crime or a chance that new evidence may emerge (in good faith) over the course of time. Count on a minimum of three years but likely expect more.

I wish there was a more succinct answer to the question, but this is America and laws change every day along with savvy lawyers and their capricious motions to change them for the sake of a particular case. As always, I recommend that you consult with an attorney that is local and knows state laws for the state in which he or she is licensed to practice law.

It should not have one, but probably is 20 years.

While there is no statue of limitation for collecting court ordered unpaid back child support, there is for unordered support...the age of 21 of the dependent child. The child at the age of 18 may sue the noncustodial parent for unpaid support that was not ordered by the courts. This has been done at least twice.

Fines that have been imposed do not fall under a statute of limitations. Once you have been fined, you have been properly informed of the charges you owe. There may be a limitation as to how long they have to collect, but they typically have an exception for things like this.

The statute of limitations for process of service depends upon whether it is a state or federal case. If it is a federal case then the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 4(m)would apply, wherein you have 120 days to serve the complaint or it may be dismissed. If it is a state case, the state rules of civil procedure, along with any local rules would apply.

You will have to contact either your attorney or the prosecutor and request the delay. A preliminary hearing is part of the "speedy trial" process guaranteed by the Constitution and you will have to have very good reason for postponing it, or be asked to sign a "Waiver of Speedy Trial."

American individual's socioeconomic status affects the likelihood that they will vote during elections. Typically, wealthier, college educated people tend to vote more than poor, uneducated people. Additionally, older folks are more likely to vote than younger citizens.

As to criminal liabilities, the general rules on prescription of crimes apply such as in case of Plunder which is punishable by life imprisonment, it shall prescribe in 20 years.
