My retired military mother, who has mild dementia but is otherwise healthy, is being released from a facility after a fall. My stepfather, who seems unhappy about her coming home and has suggested putting her in a nursing home, may have seen an attorney. My mother wants to come home and solely owns the home. Can she be forced into a nursing home by my stepfather, and what legal steps can be taken if he has a Power of Attorney (POA) or if she is deemed incompetent?

I am a Locum Tenens physician with a 3-month contract that included housing. Due to a family emergency, I had to leave early and informed my recruiter. My contract was subsequently canceled, and I was locked out of my residence. I live far from my family and need to know if I can file a suit for wrongful termination and illegal eviction, and in which county I should file the suit.

My mom is moving to assisted living/memory care and has Alzheimer's. My sister is the Power of Attorney (POA). What are my options if I disagree with the facility she is insisting on, and what is the process and cost to obtain guardianship in Illinois?

I was arrested due to a failure to appear at a financial hearing in court. I was picked up from my home, handcuffed, and taken to a sheriff's office. Was that legal, and was I required to be read my rights? The arrest was based on a civil arrest warrant from my homeowner association. After the arraignment hearing, I was released on my own recognizance (OR), and the warrant was squashed. Do I now have a police record?

Is it a federal law that a withdrawal of $10,000 or more will automatically trigger a background check, and is it mandatory reporting to the Treasury Department or IRS? Additionally, are car dealerships required by law to report if a new car purchase is paid for by personal checks (with no financing)?

I am a Hong Kong citizen with both Hong Kong and Canadian passports, looking to open a US corporation and US bank accounts for my ecommerce business. Which state is best for incorporation, considering factors like annual franchise tax, renewal tax, and non-resident taxation? Additionally, which banks can my lawyer authorize to open a corporate bank account for me in the US, and can a lawyer from another state help me with this process? Also, how can I open a merchant account and obtain a corporate Visa or Mastercard, and do I need to pay US taxes if I generate revenue from online platforms like Amazon.com or iTunes store?
