How Do We Answer a Complaint for a Credit Card?
My husband and I both are being sued by credit card companies. My husband has until this Tuesday, July 5, to respond. What do we do and how do we proceed. We were and are trying to declare bankruptcy but this came up before it could be completed. I know that if we do not respond by July 5 at 10:00am that a judgement can be brought against us. We did not wait this long on purpose. Please advise
What is Depraved Indifference in Medical Care?
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?

Can a Default Judgment Be Granted if an Attorney Failed to File an Answer?
An attorney in Tucson said that a divorce was granted to party #1 because party #2 supposedly failed to respond to a proposed petition for divorce filed by #1. Party # 2 did respond, however he gave the attorney in question his response. They completed divorce proceedings while #2 was on vacation, no other notifications were issued. Although #2 did not get a signed receipt from the attorney #2 has a witness who went with him to deliver the paper work. Can a divorce decree be issued under those circumstances by a clerk of the court judge pro tem? Can you recommend an attorney and what will costs be?
