Civil Actions

Under Indiana law, may a beneficiary petition the Court under Indiana Code 30-4-3-24.4 or 30-4-3-26 and simultaneously request a declaratory judgement, under Indiana Code 34-14-1-11 regarding the administration of the trust, under one cause number or are these two separate causes of action?

on entry of appearance and waiver of service form where it states that she waives service of process through the manner prescribed by law and she voluntarily enters her appearance in the matter does it mean i am giving up any rights and they can go thru court at any time and without any settlement from me signed and they can do whatever he wants. please let me know if i should sign or talk to lawyer

I filed a full custody of my daughter, we lived in California. The father is from Germany and he left the country in 2008 and never returned, call and send child support. The last time I got hold of him was a year ago he was still in Taiwan at that time, he called me because I was able to contact his mom. I told him that I am sending him papers serving him for full custody. I told him that I am going to send the papers at my friends house and gave him the full information. WHen the documents arrived, we waited for a month but he didn't show up. I tried to file for default since he didn't respond back and seems not to care. Right now, I don't have any idea where he is at. His mother changed thier number in Germany so, I don't know where to get hold of him. The office told me I have to serve him again wherever he is. But I dont know where he is right now and I don't know what to do. Is there any way I can have this process going without starting from the scratch?Without serving him again? HIs case was abandonment. Can you advice please whats the best thing to do? My email address is ncayanan@gmail.comThanksNieka

Question: In a senior citizens care facility in Washington D.C, the staff and nurse fail to recognize a patient lapsing into an unconscious state due to a severe case of dehydration. In this state of unconsciousness for 3 days the family members then insist the patient be taken to emergency room at local hospital where the hospital confirmed patient sustained acute renal damage due to dehydration. The patient dies the following day to to acute renal failure, Does this not constitute 'depraved indifference' by the senior care facility for not moving the patient to the hospital for immediate emergency care once the patient first became unconscious. This case occurred in Washington D.C. Would attorney general in D.C. act on this if notified?

My son's attorney just withdrew from his case because he said we have no confidence in him. He's right. This is a custody situation and the other side has called a court hearing. The problem is the attorney who my son wants to hire ( she has verbally agreed to take the case) is out of town for another 3 weeks or so. The hearing will take place before she returns. We really want her services. Can we have the hearing delayed until she returns? What do we need to do?Thank you,M
