The laws of your state may provide for "community property" or everything is co-owned.

At least you have a contempt of court if the court ordered the spouse to stay away from the house and you can prove the spouse was in the house after the order was made.

Well, someone called the humane society on my sister, saying that the dogs didn’t have proper shelter. After they came, my sister specifically told them they weren’t allowed on the property, but they could look at the dog’s living arrangements through the alley that is right behind their yard, right next to where the kennel is for the dogs. After the people from the humane society actually came onto the property and my sister told them to get off, they said that the shelter that was provided was good, they just had to buy a heated water bowl, which my sister said was bogus.

Later, the police came, wanting to arrest my sister, not exactly sure why. They only left after my brother in law threatened to sue the humane society for coming in the yard, and after they agreed to get the dogs licensed which only cost a total of $20.

I definitely don’t agree with my sister and the way she treats the animals, and I’m happy they were chastised for it. However, does the humane society even have a viable reason to want my sister arrested? And were they in the fault for entering the property when they were specifically told not to? And most importantly, was it really necessary to go through all that trouble so my sister and her husband would pay $20 to license the dogs?

Sorry for the length…
No, I wasn’t there. From what she told me, she didn’t really threaten them, but she wasn’t exactly a friendly person to them either. Who knows though, I don’t particularly trust my sister and her story telling.
I would understand if there were reports of the animals being abused, but the only report they mentioned was poor housing, and the people from the Humane Society even said that the shelter was adequate. So, after saying that the dogs were fine where they were and didn’t have to be seized, they wanted to arrest my sister…

Without knowing where you are it would be impossible to answer. And of course, we only have one side of the story. Personal experience has taught me that people always "forget" details that may color them in a poor light. No offence, but there isn’t a doubt in my mind that there are some details, even minor, that she has left out.

These are just some suggestions.

"And were they in the fault for entering the property when they were specifically told not to?"
No. Whether they were legally on her property or not, it does not negate whatever illegal act she is alleged to have committed.

"does the humane society even have a viable reason to want my sister arrested? "
It all depends on what transpired. Aside from threats, which you have already mentioned, it may be possible that they did have lawful authority to be on the property and her interference/refusal to allow them to do a proper investigation that they are legally allowed to do may be an illegal act in itself, like obstruction of an investigation. Again, just an idea, depends on your laws.

Or she could have just really pissed thexaggerated they exagerated a story to cause trouble for her.

Either way, there is no way of knowing without knowing what she was supposed to be arrested for.

Lack of housing is considered abuse.

A friend of mine had two full sets of clubs that were pretty good and one set wasn’t being used, so he gave them to me as a gift. He estimated the total value to be between $1,000-$1,500, due to the quality and since they were only 2-3 years old to begin with. I hadn’t even used them, they just got tucked away in the garage waiting for a sunny day. When I was filling out my claim, I had to check in with him to get a full list of the items that were in the bag, and looked up pricing based on that.

The claims rep is making me feel like the burglar here, not the victim. She won’t approve the clubs because I didn’t have a receipt (she thought it was odd my friend didn’t give me a gift receipt – though I told her that he didn’t get them for me originally), didn’t have pictures (like I said, I never used them), etc.

She wanted to know who the ‘friend’ (she continues to say friend sarcastically, as if she doesn’t believe he exists) was, if we were still close friends, etc. She even asked for his phone number so she could talk to him. I of course refused; He gave me a gift, and I will not return the favor by sending an insurance rep to his front door to grill him like she was/is grilling me. Now she says if I get him to sign a statement saying that he gave ‘xxx’ to me, along with roughly when he originally got the clubs and when they were given to me, and have the statement notarized, she could approve the pending items and settle the claim for good.

Is this really common practice, and was I in the wrong for refusing to give the insurance company contact information for a neutral party? And any ideas of how exactly to phrase the statement so that I don’t run into any new bumps down the road?

He could write a letter. That’s not unreasonable.

Better yet, what about the military? That’s socialist, too. In fact, the military is communist. I know because I served myself. In the military, they have an agenda by which everyone lives. Nobody is allowed to live where they want. All the propery and businesses are owned by the state, and you forfeit your Constitutional rights by joining. The soldiers are considered government property. My company commander in the service once told me, "Nothing in the military is optional." They even have socialized medicine. I know, I know! How dare you speak ill of those serving our country, bleeding-hearted liberal! Shame on you! You should be sent to Guantanamo Bay and waterboarded! We’ve been using communism to stop the spread of communism in the name of liberty when it was really all about capitalism.

We’re even using our tax dollars to make rich CEO’s of defense companies like Halliburton and Lockheed Martin become richer. How about this one? If socialism and communism are so horrible, then why do we continue bartering with China and outsourcing jobs overthere while there’s still an embargo on Cuba? I can promise the readers China has a longer track record of human rights violations than Cuba or even the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, all we know about socialism is what we’ve been told growing up during the Cold War or what those idiots on Fox News say. They don’t know the difference between actual socialism, Marxism, and communism which is an extreme form of socialism. Let’s hear what your thoughts on this.
Thanks for the tip, Mr. Bob G. I have a job, and I don’t expect you to pay for my material things such as widescreen TV’s, cellphones, and other gadgets and gizmos. Have a nice holiday there, bud!
Wow! It amazes me how brainwashed our society really has become. People still start salivating like Pavlov’s dog when they hear about socialism because they think it’s communism. I just explained one society has services and regulations while in the other one everything is state-owned (including the media.) It appears all I’ve done is summoned trolls.

When you take from one person to give to someone else by force either law or gun that is a form of slavery no matter how you try to spin it. Social Security should have never been forced upon the people of this nation, neither medicare or medicaid – especially since they are all mismanaged and abused by those you are enslaving us to. Instead of forcing these programs on people we should take some time to really find workable solutions to these problems but there is so much hate and spin spewed from everyone that nothing really gets accomplished except the further enslavement of a countries people to ones that don’t produce and don’t contribute in a positive way to society. The real test will come though when everyone who is contributing just stops and there is no more "food" for the machine – maybe then the "do-gooders" and "do-nothings" will see the flaw in their grandiose utopia crap but it won’t be until the doers, producers stop and make you fend for yourself.

1. If you really want to succeed in golf, completely forget the ball, the hole, your stance, your clubs, and all physical tokens of the game, and open your mind then to the cosmic harmonies that, alone, can bring all these tokens into proper alignment.

2. Since particle-like behavior and wave like behavior re the only properties that we ascribe to light and since these properties now are recognized to belong not to light itself, but to our interaction with light … Without us light does not exist. To say that something has no properties is the same as saying that it does not exist.

3. Suppose you could mark the molecules in a glass of water; then pour the contents of the glass into the ocean and stir the latter thoroughly so as to distribute the marked molecules uniformly throughout the seven seas; and then you took a glass of water from anywhere in the ocean. This would make a fascinating experiment.

help on these?? i am trying to study!!!

1. is an Argumentum ad populum: An argument attempting to sway popular feeling or to win people’s support by appealing to their sentimental weaknesses;
2. is an Argumentum ad ignorantiam: An argument purporting to demonstrate a point or to persuade people, which avails itself of facts and reasons the falsity or inadequacy of which is not readily discerned;
3. is not an argument, as least not one that is listed in the reference. http://www.ditext.com/runes/a.html It would then appear to be an opinion.
