Speak to the Dean, and explain your situation. A letter would also help explain how serious the situation is. Make a payment agreement with the school and stick to it, honor your word. Schools are there to help not hinder.

I'm ordered to attend Battered Women's Therapy and Anger Management. I can't afford the A.M. but the court doesn't care. They told me if I can't find one nearby or can't pay the fees at this one, then I need to move to another place where I can afford the classes!

The University needs to supply you with this information.  ask the college who accredits them, then ask the college you may want to transfer to if they accept that accrediation.  If your college lies about the accredidation and you have proof that they said they were, you can sue for all your tuition.

A precise answer depends on the law of the particular jurisdiction you're in. In New York, you could move to vacate the default judgment.  You would have to show: (1) a reasonable excuse for not having appeared in the case earlier (pretty easy to do here, your excuse is that you were never served with process and you didn't know there was any attempt to impose liability on you personally); and (2) a meritorious defense to the claim (the arguments you've outlined about why it's your husband's sole responsibility).\n\nYou will probably need to consult a lawyer to get this cleared up.  A possible alternative: Contact the Registrar.  Explain why this is bogus and ask that the Registrar consent to vacating it, the alternative being that you'll engage a lawyer, the Registrar will incur legal fees in a hopeless cause, and, depending on your local law, the Registrar might even have to reimburse you for your legal fees.  There's not much chance that this will work, and there's a downside to even trying -- you don't know the law, so you might say something that could be used against you later.

If you sue, they are going to argue in court that the time accrues.  They may even bring a more recent version of the handbook with them.  \n\nYou could try sending a demand letter stating that if you have not received all monies due and payable to you pursuant to handbook section #_____ by 00/00/06 you will file in small claims court.  If that does not work, I expect you will have a real fight on your hands.  Good luck.

If you contact the Law Society and make a complaint through there first, they may be able to help, or at least point you in the direction of someone who can!

Most courts will have appeals packet for you.  Do this quickly, as some court matters have a time limit on appeals.  If you are not able to complete the forms on your own, contact your state Bar Association (lawyers), and ask for pro bono (free service) attorney to assist you.\n\nBut do understand that you can only appeal matters if there were technically errors made during the case and not just because you did not like the outcome.

contact your alma mater and ask for a new one ... there will most likely be fees associated with it though ...

You have to prove that the university had a policy or institution that approved or encourge harrastment of your type.\n\nYou would then have to gather up testimony of others who experienced it. most likely resulting in a class action suit.\n\n\nOtherwise you wouldn't have a case

lexisnexis or westlaw should work, but its $$$. the other option to research is your local law school library. The librarians are generally pretty good.\n\nAs far as I can tell there are no california state cases published by that name. (only cases that go to the state supreme court, and some at the intermediate appeals level are published) There may be federal cases, but I didn't want to take the time.\n\ngood luck

Call the local bar association for a referral.  If no one will take the case on a contingency fee, there is an excellent chance you don't have a case.

This sounds dubious, unethical, and highly likely to backfire on you. If every student could just change his/her grades, then GPAs would have no meaning. Your current school is not going to be fooled by this ruse. Find a moral way to achieve your goals.

If your lawyer is part of a partnership firm, first complain, in writing to a Senior Partner...one of the dudes with their name on the door...if THAT brings no satisfaction, then go to your state Bar Association's Ethics Review board...good luck.

The best thing to do would be to see if one of your professors knows any lawyers who he/she can get you in touch with. Connections are often very helpful in these sorts of situations.
