For my first court appearance, it was suprising the lack of questions the judge had asked. In fact he really did not inquire or pursue additional answers that might have helped him make his decision. Questions like who was paying for the medical and dental care, how economically stable was the mother, did she live independently or reside with her parents in a mobile home, what was her medical history, etc. I bring up these points because, yes, she did reside with her parents in a mobile home with my kids. Yes, she did have a tendancy to have serious migraines, which is one reason why she lived with her parents. Yes, she did not have a stable job in the past 2 years.

The bond is in addition to any bonds required under section 744.351. This subsection does not apply to any attorney who is licensed to practice law in this state and who is in good standing, to any financial institution as defined in section 744.309(4), or a public guardian. The expenses incurred to satisfy the bonding requirements prescribed in this section may not be paid with the assets of any ward. The cost of the guardian's bond will vary depending upon the size and nature of the estate. The guardian's bond is fixed by the court, and it must be in an amount not less than the full amount of the cash on hand and on deposit belonging to the ward, plus the value of the notes and bonds owned by the ward that are payable to the bearer. The court may increase or reduce the amount of the bond. F.S. 744.351 In some cases the court may order, in lieu of a bond, or in addition to a lesser bond, that the guardian place all or part of the personal assets of the ward in a designated financial institution under Florida Statute section 69.031.

If a guardian is unable to pay the auditing fee, he or she may petition the court for a waiver of the fee. The court may waive the fee after it has reviewed the documentation filed by the guardian in support of the waiver. F.S. 744.365(6) A guardian must also pay, from the ward's estate to the Clerk of the Court, a fee for the Clerk's audit of the annual accounting. This fee, too, is set by the Clerk. If a guardian is unable to pay the fee, he or she may petition the court for a waiver of the fee. The court may waive the fee after it has reviewed the documentation filed by the guardian in support of the waiver. F.S. 744.3678(4) Examining Committee and Appointed Attorney Fees Members of the examining committee and any appointed attorney are entitled to reasonable fees to be determined by the court. These fees are paid by the state, if the incapacitated person is indigent. If not, they will be paid by the guardian from the funds of the ward.

Creavy -v- Carroll Barry Kinsella, James Gardiner, Peter McKenna, Bill Boyd, Robert Harrison and the Rotunda Hospital The High Court, Mr Justice Dunne (unreported) 17 April 2008. That's coming from a dentist! Here's something else published by a dentist who had to publish it under a fake name because he was talking about his colleagues in the dental business. In his book, Dentistry and Its Victims: The Self-Defense Handbook You Need to Protect Your Teeth and Your Pocketbook, dentist Dr Paul Revere (not his real name): This little gem of a book exposes the dental profession and makes clear recommendations to patients. The title page of this includes a quote from Bierce's The Devil's Dictionary: Dentist, n., A prestidigitator who, putting metal into your mouth, pulls coins out of your pocket. It is written by a pseudonymous dentist who knows the inside story and who is warns the laity about poor dentistry. He does more: he provides the reader with some sensible information about self-help and good routine care. I include this book on this list because of the criticism of dentistry and because the author explains some of the risks to the dentist of providing good dental care. There is a paradox here: the dentist who does the best possible job may, in fact, alienate his patients. The good dentist may, for example, save a tooth - at great personal cost to the patient - when the patient really just wants the thing out. The author also suggests this important point: organized dentistry will not publish, and actually suppresses, all studies on the quality of dentistry as it is practiced. (p. 11) This is, of course, in order to maintain the position that dentistry already has. The author similarly makes the point that dentists' ethics � What ethics? you might very well ask � prohibit, or at least restrain, one dentist from criticizing another. The same sort of code of silence exists for dentists as exists for physicians and scientists.(Ask your community librarian to get the book for you. Here are the details for requesting it: Publisher: St. Martin's Press; Revised edition (1980), ISBN-10: 0312193912, ISBN-13: 978-0312193911). What I want to know is why the parents weren't involved?

Abdelkader Belbachir on behalf of the estate of Hassiba Belbachir, deceased, is filing suit against the United States Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Custom Enforcement, ICE, and Office of Detention and Removal Operations, DRO, alleging decedent Hassiba committed suicide while in the custody of the McHenry County Jail, awaiting the resolution of her relief from immigration detention application. Decedent had previously attempted suicide and had notified medical personnel in the facility of this. The suit alleges the jail did not have a written suicide prevention policy and had been rated as "deficient" and "at risk" for suicide prevention and intervention. Belbachir experienced severe anxiety and jail employees failed to check on decedent although she was lying face down in the corner of her cell.

(2) The contractual limitation period is enforceable and McKeown & Wood's third party claim for Federated's duty to defend should be dismissed. The one-year limitation period began to run when Federated refused to provide McKeown & Wood a defence in the main action, as is its legal obligation under the policy. 148. I turn now to consider the quantum of the claim in respect of the plaintiff's past needs. These are to be valued at the market cost, generally speaking, unless those costs are too high to be reasonable: see Van Gerwan v Fenton (supra), at 334. To the extent that some of the services provided for by the defendant as the plaintiff's spouse existed before the accident, this is to be ignored: Van Gerwan v Fenton (supra), at 338; and per Gaudron J at 347ff. Most of the figures have, fortunately, been agreed. I observe in passing that some of the items sound also in the nature of damages recoverable under the principle in Wilson v McLeai (1961) 106 CLR 523, but the defendant rightly did not seek to argue that there was any difference in principle. The first difference between the plaintiff's and defendant's figures relates to the services the defendant provided to the plaintiff at the Santa Barbara Rehabilitation Institute. The plaintiff claims 4 hours at $15 per hour for 346 days. The defendant claims the plaintiff should be compensated at the rate of 4 hours at $10 per hour for 218 days. The number of days is a matter of calculation. The defendant's calculation is correct. I prefer the defendant's submission as to the rate. Accordingly for the period up to the time the plaintiff was discharged home on 1 June 1990 I allow US$28,550 plus US$25,000 for the expenses incurred, a total of US$53,550.

By Thomas, Oliver The Christian Century, September 24, 1997 Go to article overview appellant asked his sister, A.T., if J.F. could reside with her because J.F. was out of Broome County, Tioga County, Chenango County, Delaware County, Cortland County, Tompkins County, Binghamton , Vestal, Johnson City, Endicott, Endwell Lawyer Company Guildhall Vermont 17. A defining case for Ken was a personal injury matter in which he defended Senator B. Everett Jordan's granddaughter against a Canadian newspaper owner and Ocracoke businessman. The plaintiff represented himself. The plaintiff had been on his way to work when Ken's client rear-ended him, resulting in a broken shoulder. The plaintiff was airlifted to the hospital in Elizabeth City. During the course of discovery, the plaintiff disclosed a medical opinion that he had sustained 5 percent disability to his shoulder because he no longer had full range of motion. When the doctor who rendered the opinion testified at the trial, United States District Court Judge Earl Britt stopped the trial and said he knew Ken was going to cross-examine the doctor on the fact that he had never met the plaintiff before and had based his 5 percent opinion on only the medical records. So Judge Britt recessed the trial to allow the doctor to conduct a medical examination in the Judge's chambers. The doctor later returned to the stand with an opinion that the plaintiff's disability had increased from 5 percent to 20 percent on the basis that the plaintiff not only could no longer lift his shoulder, but also could not lift his arm over his head. On cross-examination, the plaintiff asserted that in Canada, physical therapists are full-fledged doctors who put him in traction when he was in the hospital. Ken explains, "I kept playing Colombo, saying that I didn't know what that meant, could he please describe it for me. After several reiterations, he started describing the traction as being overhead in the bed and you had to reach up and finally he reached way up with both arms high above his shoulders. Judge Britt turned beet red and several of the jurors laughed out loud." Ken says, "I like the unexpected. You know, the preparation for trial is rigorous. I think I always over-prepared, but when you actually get in the courtroom, once that moment passes, if you did not object and then the next question is asked, it's too late. Time is marching on, so you've got to focus like a laser and be on your toes and do it in that moment or else it's too late." Civic involvement is important and rewarding to him. Ken has enjoyed a long association with the Civitans, having served as District Governor, spearheading a strategic plan that stemmed the tide of declining membership. He also is a former board member of the Salvation Army and continues to support the organization. Professional and community-related accomplishments aside, Ken considers his highest achievement to be his family. He and Jane have three children and four grandchildren, with a fifth due in July. Church also has played a significant role in Ken's life. A member of Temple Baptist Church since 2000, Ken served on the long-range planning team that located the property and oversaw the design and construction of the present facility. He has also served as a past deacon. What is a totally unexpected thing about this eastern North Carolina legal eagle and family man who admittedly isn't full of surprises? He's a vegan! That's right. No dairy. No meat. No eggs. His wife would want him to credit Dr. Joel Fuhrman, a specialist in nutritional medicine and best-selling author who coined the term "nutritarian" rather than "vegan" to describe his recommended diet of micronutrient rich foods. But the diet IS vegan, insists Ken, because of the lack of dairy and meat. "Jane started me on it as soon as I got out of the hospital in 2011 after a near death experience from septic shock. Since she saved my life by yelling at the hospital staff to do something to help me after I lost consciousness, I felt I better do what she said about the diet. I also plan to run in the 'Step On Sepsis' 5K road race in honor of Jane saving my life and to help raise awareness of sepsis among medical professionals and lay people." One gets the impression that this born-and-bred Southern gentleman wouldn't mind sneaking the occasional ham biscuit or barbecue sandwich, but if anyone can argue the case for living healthy and enjoying life, Ken Wooten can. The court held that the fact that the appellant companies did not execute the pension agreement did not relieve them of liability. They were jointly and severally liable for the amounts owing. From the very beginning Clear Choice was supposed to give me true statements, according to the deal we agreed upon, because they don't even accept insurance, instead, they provided me with false statements that cost me a lot of time and headaches to straighten the situation, even my insurance had to work hard at the situation, they were even brushed off twice by Clear Choice. My insurance was trying to work in my behalf to pay me the rightful amount. It was laughable that my insurance was my best friend and my "dental provider" was my main headache.

Typically when they return for a provisional check, they almost universally ask, Can it be made even whiter? Familial relationships are frequently confidential but mere kinship is not enough to establish a confidential relationship, and not every familial influence will be undue influence. 57 According to the court in Feiden v. Feiden, a family relationship does not create a presumption of undue influence without other factors such as "inequality or controlling influence." 58 Despite this, the National Elder Abuse Incident Study found that in 60.4% of the cases of financial elder abuse an adult child of the elder was the perpetrator. Grandchildren were perpetrators in 9.2% of the cases and other relatives were perpetrators 9.7% of the time. 59 In Parrisella v. Fotopulos, the Arizona Superior Court held that a will was not the product of undue influence where the testator's fiance was the beneficiary, because a sexual relationship is not a confidential relationship to raise the presumption of undue influence. 60 The mere fact that a relationship is friendly or intimate does not make it confidential. 61 The Restatement Third of Property divides confidential relationships into three categories of relationships � fiduciary, reliant, and dominant-subservient. 62 A "fiduciary relationship" can be between the testator and a hired professional, such as attorney and client, or professional and beneficiary. However, a fiduciary relationship can also be with a non-professional, relative or friend, for example, a guardian, conservator, or individual trustee. 2012-01-01.-Martial, United States By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the Parts III and IV of the Manual for Courts-Martial, United States, are amended as described in the Annex. 3 The President 1 2012-01-01 2012-01-01 false Executive Order 13593 of December 13, (6) Arbitrary, capricious, or characterized by abuse of discretion or clearly unwarranted exercise of discretion.

In Family Court proceedings, parties may be entitled to a lawyer or to have a lawyer assigned to them by the judge, depending on the type of case. Of course, parties are always entitled to retain their own lawyer at their own expense. If someone appearing in Family Court cannot afford to pay for a lawyer, the court usually will assign one from a designated panel. In some types of cases, the Judge must assign a lawyer to a particular party. Also be aware that in certain counties, special organizations exist that provide legal assistance to Family Court litigants at no cost if their income falls below a certain level. If you wish to apply for an assigned attorney, you should inform the judge, hearing examiner or court personnel, who can explain the necessary procedures.

FRATZKE APPLIED, DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION AT TRIAL TO AMEND ANSWERS TO INTERROGATORIES. PP: Can you say a bit more about the harm or overtreatment to patients that you saw? Heath: One of the chains focused on kids on Medicaid, and the reimbursement rates for Medicaid are pretty low. So in order to get a lot of revenue from these patients they were doing things like taking x-rays that were not needed, or putting stainless steel crowns instead of fillings on their teeth. They could make twice as much money from Medicaid on these crowns versus just putting a filling on a tooth. Kids were getting treatments that they really didn't need. We also looked at a chain that focuses on adults who haven't been to the dentist in years. What were found there is again, patients would come in and everyone was given the same treatments. They were given these deep cleanings and a lot of people would get dentures and we were finding that in some cases maybe they didn't need those services. We had one example of an 87-year-old woman who had already been to the dentist and she went in to have two teeth pulled, thinking it would be cheaper at New York-based Aspen Dental Instead they looked at her mouth and they came up with a treatment plan that was going to cost $8,000. They convinced her though hard-sell tactics to borrow that money through a credit card, and something like $2,000 of that was just to clean her teeth. (Aspen Dental's response is here)
