I’ve got a stepson that is on probation for a felony theft charge from when he was a minor. At the time, his mother agreed to a condition that he has to live with her until he’s 21 when the probation is up. I married his mother last year and he’s been with us for the last two years, after being in rehab. Other than getting his GED a year ago he basically hasn’t done a thing, no job ,no school,nothing. I can’t throw him out because of the court order his mother agreed to. He’ll be 20 in a couple weeks, and I’ve told him when he turns 21 he’s GONE.My question is, should I,or will I need to get a restraining order or something similar, upon his turning 21, to keep him the hell away for good?

Here is the problem, my friend was house sitting and was not supposed to go in the house but she found the garage code had a party. I was not at the party but then the next day I got a call from a friend and said I need your help because the girl was wearing her moms bracelet and lost it at the house. The girl could not go look for it cause she was working, so her other friend was already at the house cleaning up and had entered from the garage, she left the front door open and that is where I entered from. I looked for the bracelet helped the other girl cleanup and left. The other girl shut the garage and we left. Today we found out $1100 were stolen from the home. The cops are finger printing, can I be charged and will I be in trouble. All I was trying to do was help a friend! I am 17 years old.

can I drop charges on my ex boyfriend? he has been charged with and fraud, theft and robbery. his court case is in 2 weeks. can i drop the charges and what will happen to me?

In 2000 I was convicted of theft bldg 3rd due to where I was working and a coworker came through my line and stated the check was hers and I cashed it. I did not know it was false. I did admit to cashing the check and that is why I have a charged against me. I only receive two years probation and right then I told the judge they will never see me again and I meant it. I did testify against the employee but I did not know any better at the time. The question is how can I have this expunge from my records and what steps do I need to follow to complete this situation.

My question involves criminal law for the state of: WA

HELP!

Can a company President be fired for taking company funds? Can the taking of those funds “cash her out” so to speak, for company shares?

We have a C Corp, 50% equally shared. The two shareholders held the positions of President/Treasurer (let’s call her Shareholder A) and Vice President/Secretary (let’s call him Shareholder B). Neither took an active role in the company. Instead, a contracted employee ran the day to day affairs for the past five years, and that employee was a main signer on the bank account, and that employee also signed all checks, paid all bills, etc., managed day to day affairs, and received pay. Let’s call him Mr. C.

Shareholder B has since disappeared from the scene. He was not active in the company, and, since the last annual report, he moved, and no one can reach him. His phone has changed, email reports back as dead address, etc.

Shareholder A, about a month ago, was added to the company bank account as a signer. A few weeks later, she began withdrawing amounts of money as
counter withdrawals. Mr. C caught on when seeing the series of withdrawals, and could not reach Shareholder A. The total amount to date is nearly $3,500. She did not answer any of his calls. He tried texting to her, asking what she was doing and asking her to stop, since, as a small company, her taking of funds was meaning that payroll for staff and paying of bills could not be met.

There was never an agreement or even request by her to receive pay.

It could not be reported as fraud because she is a signer on the account. To protect what was left of the money, Mr. C took out the rest of the funds and put them in another account. However, the company has a Reserve Line and Shareholder A is now drawing from that, still making counter withdrawals.

The only contact Shareholder A has made, by text, to Mr. C, is that “you will hear from my lawyer.”

Shareholder B can not be reached to fire Shareholder A, and we don’t even know if that is possible, since it is a 50/50 split of shares.

Questions:

1. Can anyone step into Shareholder B’s position as Vice President, let’s say Mr. C, for example, who has been running day to day operations for the past five years, since Shareholder B can not be found?

2. Can Shareholder A be fired as President for what she is doing? Is this not considered misuse of company funds??

3. If no one can step in to Shareholder B’s position, what do we do?? How can action be taken to stop this woman from bankrupting the company?

4. In the meantime, other people have invested, but shares were never re-organized, so there are actually more shareholders, based on funds invested for the purpose of being shareholders. Can those shareholders act as a group to fire this lady?

5. In terms of Shareholder A’s stock ownership — she invested $5,000 originally — considering she already took $3500, can we issue her a check for $1500 and consider her to be bought out?

Please help. I think she has a drug problem or something, but we will lose our entire business if this keeps up, because we’re a small shop.

Trying to dissolve and re-organize is not what we want, partly because we have state certifications that we can not easily re-apply for, without risk of being out of business for a prolonged period of time, plus we finally have been in business long enough to qualify for financing and credit, and we don’t want to start over.

We just want this lady gone. We’re pretty sure we can fire her, and remove her as a signer on the bank account, and then close that account and open a new one, to stop the theft of funds, but in the absence of Shareholder B, we’re not sure, since he and her are the ones listed on the original documents. Plus, we want her gone as a shareholder, and we’re not sure how to accomplish that, unless, as suggested, we can consider the money she took as buy out money and pay her the rest and call it paid.

Please help. Sorry this was long-winded.

I worked in a home for developmentally disabled adults. My boss did many things such as having me care for a man with MRSA without telling me till 3 days later. I was sent to a home to care for a man who held me hostage for over an hour and beat me up, without being told he was violent etc..Over a month ago my keys were stolen at the home which included my work keys. I reported it to my boss suggesting she at least change the office locks. A couple of weeks later when we took the clients on a van ride, we took the money bag that is kept in the office and has their snack money in it. The driver counted the money to make sure it was right and one client was missing $20.00. We called my boss and reported it, telling her that we were going to keep the money locked in the med closet till she came in and locked the money in a file cabinet or safe. A week after that she called me and asked me if I had left the office door open after I had worked overnight, that $300.00 had been taken from a money bag in her desk (unlocked). The next time I came in I was told all the employees but me had been questioned by the police (by an co-employee). Other employees were not speaking to me. It was very tense. Then my boss came to me and told me that I had to go take a drug test at the clinic which made me look even worse in front of my co-workers. I talked it over with my family and decided I was going to resign before she did anything worse. I decided to think about it and came down with the flu. I called in and tried to get a replacement myself. My boss was very nasty so I sent in a resignation letter. It was a very part-time job and I felt all this wasn’t worth it. A few days later the police showed up at my door, I went down to the station where I was told my boss had said I was the thief, they tried to get me to say it was me and that they had a video tape and when they watched it it would go badly for me if I didn’t admit my theft. I said I wouldn’t be on it and I wish they would watch it soon. They also asked me to take a polygraph, which I wanted to and signed a paper saying I would. It’s been two weeks, I haven’t heard anything. My brother is disabled and is in another of their homes and my mother told me that he is being harassed by other residents about this also that the staff is being extremely rude and cold to her. My family doesn’t deserve this, every year they give a very generous donation to this company. She wants to get an attorney but, i don’t know if I have any recourse. I do want to take the poly because I want to go to the head of the company and would like to have some prof of my innocence, but I would also like my boss to take one. This is a small town and I don’t want this accusation to follow me. I am 48 years old have no criminal record and have never taken so much as a pen from my employer. Should I get an attorney? It’s bad enough what happened to me but, I don’t want my brother and family to suffer because of this woman.

I was terminated for stealing product and leaving my place of employment. I have absolutely NO recollection of the incident, I remember nothing about it. I was subsequently diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and am receiving medication and treatment from a psychiatrist. I did not know that I had bipolar, and neither did my employer. My company has a employee purchase policy, if product leaves the store, or before it can be consumed, it must be paid for and a receipt retained for proof of purchase. If a doctor signs a letter that certifies that I am a sick person, can my employer still fire me? Or must they allow my working for them until I can find another job? What recourse if any do I have to get my job back?

I was recently engaged to a guy the convinced me into helping him open a company. Long story short, he lied stole $ and ruined my credit. He opened credit accounts using my ss # and never paid them, accessed bank accounts and wrote check signing on my behalf. All without me knowing. After finding out I kicked him out of my house ( which I later lost trying to regain my financial footing) he took ALL the product and material moved it to a different warehouse, changed owner title in vehicles that I paid for… WHERE do I start???

charges were filed against my husband for theft by the police officers. my mother, which is the victim wants the case dismissed due to the fact she wore the jewelry numerous times after the officers claimed he so called pawned the jewelry. my mother as been trying to get a hold of the officers to explain this however they are avoiding her. i heard that in some cases if the victim refuses to testify the case can be dropped. Is this possible even if the victim did not sign the charges?

my husband is a mechanic and at our home worked on a guys truck. it required some parts that the truck owner did not supply us with. we purchased them and agreed that he would repay the amount for parts plus labor fees. we do have a paper with both my husband’s and the truck owner’s signature. the work has been done for over a month and the vehicle is returned. we have not seen a dime for repayment. at this point we are willing to forget the labor costs and just want the money for the parts we are out. since he has parts that we paid for in his truck can we call authorities for theft? i still have receipts and the document
