(aspiring pilot) Should I seek help regarding my personal statement for the FAA regarding past incidents involving alcohol?

The FAA wants court and police records of my incidents as well as a personal statement, in order to obtain my first class medical to start flight school. In college, I was charged with underage consumption which was dismissed and then a DWAI which was also dismissed. My BAC of the DWAI was .025 but I was 20 years old at the time. I don't want to put myself into a hole on the personal statement. Both these incidents happened in Colorado.

Honesty and proactive admission of potential errors is a major concern in aviation. Did you know that anyone involved in an actual or potential incident should file a report to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) using a program called the Aviation Safety Reporting Program (ASRP)? In this safe-harbor, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is prohibited from using these "NASA Reports" for enforcement purposes. While it is natural to ignore mistakes, a safe pilot is an honest pilot. Hidden problems end careers and take lives.

Are you talking about a UCC lien? See 810 ILCS 5/9-501 et seq. for some information about fraudulent filings. The Secretary of State also has a form for an Affidavit of Fraudulent Record which you could file. Additionally, you could file a termination which is also available with the Secretary of State.

How do I get the court to continue extending my 2 year battle of custody of my children who are decendents of a meskwaki tribal member?

I am an enrolled member of the Meskwaki Nation, a federally recognized tribe in Tama Iowa and have been trying to get my children back in my care who have been removed from me 2 years back and still am fighting to get them back. MFS(Meskwaki Family Services) are trying to move forward with permanency or guardianship of my 5 kids and to be placed with their family members. I have done almost everything they required expect drop random ua's due to my busy schedule. The allegations were I was living out of my car with my kids and was under the influence of methamphetamine which are inaccurate but I have no proof to uphold my argument in court.

The first question is there a child in need of assistance case open? Also, you need to be sure to drop the random ua's since that will help your position with MSF. Are you having visits with your children?

Should I have my gym members sign a separate liability waiver or is it fine to put language in my membership agreement?

I run in gym in New Jersey and currently have a clause in my membership agreement that covers our liability. I want to understand if that is enough or if I should have a separate document for my members to sign.

Yes. If worded correctly, a liability waiver is effective. Note that a few states do not allow liability waivers and others have strict requirements for their enforceability.

Divorce is the legal termination of marriage. With a separation agreement, the couple remains married and the court outlines their rights and responsibilities while living apart.

Courts will uphold all agreements between parties provided they are validly made, even confidentiality agreements. So first you must ensure that the confidentiality agreement is a valid agreement. Once you have assured yourself of that, you need to look at what sort of "breach" you might want to claim if you are considering going to Court. The issue, in the event that you do go to Court, will be - what are the remedies that the Court will provide in order to remedy the "breach". Will the Court provide for "damages" or issue some sort of "injuncutory relief" or other sort of order that the breaching party will need to fulfill.
