An autistic, nonverbal 16-year-old boy with unpredictable explosive tantrums, including aggression, property destruction, disregard for others, and self-harm, is causing disruptions in the school setting. The school is willing to pay for residential treatment, but the parent refuses. When can the school determine that there is no educational benefit in continuing the current educational setting and that it may be detrimental to the child's well-being?

What other options does an attorney who has been disciplined by a state supreme court (as a result of a hearing that lacked any notion of fairness and due process) have other than filing a writ of certiorari? Could a complaint be pursued in a federal district court to obtain a fair hearing, and could a writ of mandamus be filed with the U.S. Supreme Court? If so, can these be combined as alternative relief in a single writ?

I have been separated from my wife for 19 1/2 years. She has lived in NC and I have lived in FL/GA for the entire time. We were married in GA. My wife passed away in late Nov 2013 in NC. Am I responsible for her hospital bills/debts, and is our daughter (23 years old) responsible for her hospital bills/debts?

My daughter lives in WA. At the urgings of her fiancé, she bought a house, some property, and a dog. He could not be a cosigner for either property due to his bad credit, but he agreed to help with the payments. Now he has broken their engagement, taken her ring, and sold it. He also reneged on promises to help with the dog's vet bills and special dietary food. I am encouraging her to take him to court. What sort of lawyer should she see and is there any advice you can give her?
