On a transfer situation, the basic question is whether the new branch will be in the same metropolitan statistical area (MSA). If so, the company could do a notice of posting before you transfer. If not in the same metropolitan statistical area, the company would have to do an H-1B amendment with U.S.C.I.S. to place you in the new location. I do note that even in the same MSA, there may be different prevailing wages that your company may wish to take note of. Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

If both of you adopted a child and you were never married, then you would file a paternity action in court.  You would include the information about the adoption in the Petition.  The court would take judicial notice of the adoption.  The court would then decide issues regarding the child including child support, parenting time, custody, cost of extracurricular activities, how the tax exemption would be divided, payment of uninsured medical expenses, schooling, etc.  It is also possible to reach an agreement regarding these issues, but I would be very careful to have that agreement in writing and submitted to the court so that no one could change their mind.  It is also important if you want the court to enforce the agreement.   You may want to calculate what your child support would be.  I suggest that you go to http://www.in.gov/judiciary/2625.htm and you can calculate what your child support would be.  I do not know how old your child is, but another issue to consider is the cost of college.  Please understand that you will not be able to get child support prior to the time that you filed your Petition.  A court may not make the child support retroactive to before the time that you file your Petition.   In calculating the child support, only use the income of you and the child's father, do not include other family members.    ...

Yes, he needs an attorney. Most judges will be reluctant to move forward without representation.  A conviction can carry jail time and license suspension.  If not handled properly it can impact him for a long time.  Get an attorney.  If he can’t afford one he can ask for a public defender but in some counties if he posted a bond he may not be eligible for a public defender.  ...

The short answer is NO.  Unless you are a salaried, exempt employee, your employer must pay you your hourly wage for every hour worked up to 40 hours in a given week.  If you work more than 40 hours, your employer must pay you time and half for every hour worked, over 40 hours.  For example, if you make $10 per hour and work 60 hours in a week, your employer must pay you for 40 hours times $10 = $400.  Plus 20 hours at $15/hr = $300, for a total of $700.  Failure to do so may be a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act, which subjects your employer to liquidated damages plus attorney's fees....

When an attorney does not respond to your emails, text message or phone calls the same day or within 24 hours, it is an indication that either the attorney is very occupied with the overload of his work, and or he or she is just not interested in your case anymore, because they have collected the amount they needed to bill you. The only reason they are still on the case and has not dropped it because they don't want to make it to obvious that they are not interested and doing there very best to get rid of the case asap. I would suggest that you get a second opinion on your case from a responsive and competent attorney.

You need an attorney that looks out for the fathers. Because many lawyers prefer to represent women, to make it an easy case for them. Father rights are normally neglected. Let her do what she wants, you will always be the child father if it's your DNA. When the child is born, even if she does not put you on the birth certificate, don't force her, just inform her that you are the father and the child deserves your name. If she refuses and put someone else, it will make her look bad in court when you petition for a paternity test and the court put you on the birth certificate. This way you will have an advantage in the case and she will look bad and most likely who you hire as your attorney, if its us, we may even be able to fight to get you custody of the child and win. :) Make sure you know when the child is going to be born, at what hospital, and her current address. You should serve her for paternity 2 days after the child is born and she put someone else on the birth certificate. Call my office for a free consultation. Please keep in mind that not all lawyers are same. Therefore be very cautious as to which attorney or law firm you chose to work with.
