My girlfriend is 21, and I don't know if some of the stuff her family puts her through is illegal. For example, her mother wouldn't let her cook food to eat. Sometimes they wouldn't feed her for several days. Her mother calls her "useless", and "dumb". Laughing at her failures and the such. My girlfriend is now extremely depressed due to all she had suffered. But I don't know if anything can be done about my girlfriend's mother. 

How can I report domestic abuse that my girlfriend's family puts her through?

I took a ride back with LYFT over the weekend and the vehicle got damaged by me unintentionally. The damage caused was not my fault at all. How it happened was, when I was getting off, I took off my seatbelt and shut the door. As soon as I shut it, I noticed that the seatbelt was in the way. The seatbelt did not slide back up to its place like it should. It is not my fault that his seatbelt doesn’t slide back up itself and I was not given a heads up about it. It is also not my responsibility to poke my head back into the car to check if the seatbelt is back in its place. It is also a safety hazard if the seatbelt is loose in a vehicle.

Before visiting a lawyer, I would like to know if it's possible for me to get my 15-year-old son's custody back.
At this moment, Child and Family Services Alberta is my son's legal guardian because he has anger issues and I chose an abandonment in order to protect my other child. However, I really regret it now. I would like to let my son come home.
He lives in a group home for teens in a different city and he runs away because he doesn't like a place where he stays. He says he is isolated and lonely because he has no friends there.

I rent a condo. When I moved in, my landlord did not inform me that I would also be dealing with a "Board of Directors". The building I am in allows pets, or they did until 2013.

I have co-authored a book and used a pseudo name for the book. I realized that my real information should have been given so I went online to make the changes. Instead and without knowing it, I created a second copyright. I have contacted Canadian Intellectual Property Office and asked for a correction, explaining this.

After my refusal at the U.S. border, I decided to illegally enter the US for the vacation I planned. I wasn't too worried, knowing that the American police doesn't share their files with their border control. 2 days ago, the police were running my ID, and told me I had an immigration warrant in Canada.

I'd like legal advice with an issue I'm experiencing at a school in Ontario.

I have a health issue that I dealt with since a young age but I worked very hard to manage and it stabilized. I'm recommended by the doctor to identify triggers and avoid them to stay healthy.

I'm in a graduate program now and it reactivated the health issue that I need accommodations made to continue with my study.

The accommodation I'm asking is to work independently instead of group work so that I can work at my own pace as well as not to cause others inconvenience while I take care of my health.

My program is reluctant on making the accommodations as they say it interferes with a program core value, even though it risks my health.

Before my condition came back, I heard they let another student in the same program work independently so I asked for the same permission, but mine was rejected. She's Caucasian and I'm not.
They said for me to work independently I need to go to the school's disability center to prove that I have a disability that prevents me from group work. The Caucasian
student has not been requested the same proof. Also, I've never been diagnosed with any type of disability, ever.

I believe I'm treated unfairly and this is quite upsetting as I feel my right to study is being violated again and again.

I'm a serious, passionate student that traveled far to attend this program. I'd very much like this issue to be resolved especially given the fact they may do this again to someone else.

Your advice will be appreciated.

What can I do if my medical accommodation request was denied by the school?

I’ve been depressed, angry, and dealing with grief in the past few months. The anger I had against my husband I displaced on his daughter.
