I live in Alabama and have been on probation for about 2 years. I was scheduled to be released on April 23 of this year, but I received a letter from my probation officer stating that I am on probation for 3 more years because I haven't paid any fines since July 2009. I have financial difficulties and pay my probation officer every month. I have done everything the judge asked, such as getting my GED and working two jobs, but my primary job is not guaranteed and my second job only provides 25 hours a week, possibly less. I have been on unsupervised probation for about a year and was not informed that my probation could be extended if restitution was not paid in full. How can they extend my probation, and how can I resolve this situation?

My wife and I have been separated for a year due to her infidelity. We have two children. She left my home voluntarily and went to live with a male friend. They have been living together for one year. In the state of Texas, I would assume that they are common law married. I am in the process of consulting a lawyer to initiate the divorce process. Is she violating state law by not being legally divorced and living with another person for a year? Please advise.

On 2/06/09, XXXXX XXXXX was checked into Valley Hospital for breast cancer surgery. The doctor wanted to perform the surgery before leaving the country, but her blood pressure and blood sugar levels dropped dangerously low multiple times, making the procedure unsafe. After stabilizing her, the doctor performed the surgery and left the country, stating she would be fine and could be discharged in 48 hours. During her hospital stay, her blood pressure and blood sugar levels continued to fluctuate. What should be done in this situation?

I received a call at my job from a gentleman speaking very little English who stated that I will be served with a lawsuit regarding a payday loan through Instant Cash Network. He couldn't provide information about the company but has my work number and info. He stated that I will be served and that there is nothing I can do. Is this a scam? What should I do?

I was rear-ended at a red light by a driver who was charged with driving three times over the limit on December 30, 2009. Since the accident, I've been seeing a chiropractor for a twisted knee. Today, I noticed a small bulge below my belly button, which the chiropractor said looks like an umbilical hernia. I never noticed it before. Could this be because of the accident? I was seated in the back seat with safety belts on, and I'm a larger guy (6'2", 280 lbs). The car was a 1999 Oldsmobile Alero. Would my auto insurance (Geico) pay for the operation to fix the umbilical hernia? The drunk driver who rear-ended me also carried Geico insurance, and I always carry $500,000 underinsured limits. I'm wondering if I should seek legal advice.

Me and my neighbor are in a dispute about my land that joins hers at the back. I have tried to show her the property pins, but she keeps calling the police on me. This is the third time the police have been involved. She doesn't have the money for a surveyor, nor do I, but I have a layout of everyone's property in the neighborhood, dated 1985. Her fence is on my land about 2 feet, and she claims 36 feet of my land is hers. We need help before something bad happens. If I pay for a surveyor to come out, can I sue her for half the cost and for harassment for calling the police on me? The police also told me not to cut down any more trees on my land.
