What is discovery in Texas civil court?

Discovery is a fact-finding process that takes place after a lawsuit has been filed and before trial, in order to allow both parties in the case to prepare for either settlement or trial. It is based upon the belief that a free exchange of information is more likely to help uncover the truth regarding the facts that are in dispute. Court rules, and state rules of evidence govern the discovery procedure.

Your vehicle must come to a complete full stop before the crosswalk or stop line. After a full-stop has been made, there is no minimum time your vehicle must remain stopped, proceed when it is safe to do so. vehicles usually have the right-of-way to proceed through the intersection in the order that they arrived at the intersection.

Can you be terminated from your employer if you have a workmens comp claim?

No, but there is a Statute of Limitations as to how long you can go on WCB and when it becomes a Disibility. Go to your Labor Relations Board about this. If you have a WCB claim then you must have hurt yourself on the job obviously. WCB has all rights to any reports from your doctor related to the accident and it's always wise every month to get your doctor to write the company a note or letter explaining why you aren't back at work. ALWAYS leave a paper trail regarding your injuries to the company you work with. If WCB is still paying you then NO company legally can let you go without trying to work with you, WCB and your doctor and try to at least place you in a job in that company that you can physically handle, but, if it doesn't look like you are able to come back to work then you need to deal with Disibility Pension. Please go onto www.google.com and go onto Workmen's Compensation Board and you'll find all sorts of information there. Good luck Marcy I was told by a WCB Judge that even if the employer did fire you because you were injured, it would be a very hard case to prove.

Can a 16 year old girl marry her 19 year old boyfriend without her parents permission in the state of Maryland?

There is no state that will allow a 16-year-old to get married without parental consent/court approval/special circumstances. It would probably be rather tough to convince a court to over-ride the authority of a parent (which they don't like to do) because it would be in the best interest of 16-year-old to marry someone who's 11 years older than herself. But then again, I don't know your circumstances. Just keep in mind that it wouldn't be quick and easy.

AnswerLook who ever you are,i understand that you might love him, but i think you should wait and see if this realtionship goes anywhere with him .

I am only 16 years'-old ,but i know wut im talking about and i don't want to act like ur parents im just tellig you the truth and the facts and im only trying to give you a good advise about this.

Do you need an attorney to expunge your criminal record?

Using an attorney is not required by the court. Expungement of a criminal record is a criminal proceeding. The Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution, applied to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment, grants the right of self-representation in all criminal matters.

However, the process of expunging a record, which varies by state, can be complex and confusing. In some states, it is just a matter of filing the required paperwork. In other states, it requires filing paperwork, collecting evidence, and arguing for expungement in front of a judge and against the arguments of a district attorney. So while you do not have to use an attorney, it may be wise to do so in some cases.

If you are working with an attorney, make sure they are licensed in your state and experienced with expungement. If you have convictions in more than one state, make sure the attorney researches the expungement law of the other state or states prior to proceeding; filing in the wrong order may cost you eligibility in one of the states.

I would advise against it. A motion to expunge is not generally considered a do-it-yourself project unless you are extremely familiar with the law and legal matters.

Is it ethical to date while separated?

This depends entirely upon you. Would you feel okay doing this? Where are your feelings towards your spouse? Would this lead to a divorce? How would your spouse react to this? Is the relationship worth saving? Are you prepared to get into a new relationship with someone else?

I am not saying you shouldn't date someone else. Just take your time with this and think it over.

The action is usually referred to as "separate maintenance", where the couple reside apart but are still legally married. The court establishes the rights and liabilities of each party (child support, custody, property division, alimony, etc.). It is required that a couple file for and be granted a divorce for the marriage to be legally dissolved. Actually, no, Texas does not have legal separation. per http://www.nicholslaw.com/CM/FSDP/PracticeCenter/Family-Law/Texas-Divorce.asp?focus=faq A legal separation deals with property distribution and child support and custody issues without ending the marriage. While most states have some form of legal separation, however, Texas does not. In Texas, temporary orders concerning marital issues can be granted while a divorce is pending, but there is no provision for an indefinite legal separation.
