Description

In this week's episode, Anna called in about a financial dispute with a former partner who owes her $50,000. The ex-partner's lawyer tried moving the case to family court by claiming they were in a de facto relationship, but the judge disagreed, and now a trial is set to decide on the debt. Barry needed advice on handling the belongings of a deceased tenant with next of kin in Austria. The final caller, Rob, inquired about whether juvenile convictions need to be declared when applying for entry into the United States. Nick offered guidance on these issues and emphasised the importance of complying with employer policies, referencing a story about a lollipop man who was instructed not to give high fives to children because of a complaint from a parent.
