Your Questions About How To Report An Accident At Work Form

URGENT: CIVIL CONTRACT AGREEMENT, CRIMINAL FILING, OR WHAT TO DO?

My boyfriend and I had been living together. He stole $12000 worth of jewelry from me and took it to a pawn shop in March. Then, on Tuesday night, I saw that there were checks forged in my name that he had stolen from my checkbook. He has also committed debit card fraud. I confronted him, and he told me he had been using cocaine since June of 2007. I told him I was leaving him on Wednesday. He first pleaded with me, then grabbed a knife, held it at me, then at himself, saying he was “going to kill himself”, shook me, then ran. I called his son to get him and 911. I was so flustered and did not want to get him in trouble, I forgot to mention the holding the knife up to me and shaking me. He was committed for a psychiatric evaluation. I received a temporary restraining order for him on 4/30. I went back to our shared residence (house is in his deceased mother’s name), and told him not to come near me when I was there and my car was there. He came in, I told him I was going to call 911, he shook me and told me not to call 911, I called 911, he yelled that he was going court, then he called 911 and said I assaulted him, and then he sped off. I have a court date for the restraining order for May 14. I have filed a police report regarding the stolen jewelery, which was an inheritance from my mother, on 5/01/2010. He has admitted in text messages that he pawned my $8000 diamond and gold necklace,$4000 diamond ring, and $800 amythyst and gold ring. I have the empty boxes for all of the missing jewelery. I had kept my jewelery in a safe deposit box, but left it at home for a couple days because I thought I was going to wear it. He has forged $1057 worth of checks, which I have reported to Bank of America. I am going to report the debit card fraud tonight, it is approximately $3000. He also broke my front tooth in an accident when I fell off his back, which will cost me $1075. He has had a history of drug abuse in his past. He is currently on methadone, which he has been on for at least the past 5-6 years, has smoked marijuana, and states that he has been doing cocaine since June of 2009, about 11 months. He lost his first wife and kids to a meth addiction. I would like restitution, in the form of the $22000-12,000 amount he owes me (depending on how much I can claim). His boss and my ex boyfriend were trying to work out a restitution agreement where I would fill out a contract, then my ex boyfriend (the employee), would go to the bank, cash his paycheck, and leave a portion of it for me with his employer. I would then sign for it. This would be a Promisary Note with interest.
I would like to know the steps I should or can take, my rights under the restraining order, and whether or not you think it is in my best interest to go the civil route and make up a contract between me, my ex boyfriend, and his employer. If so, what would my rights be if there was a breach of contract?

ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS:

1) What legal rights would I have if I were to make a promissary note between me, my ex, and his boss, and get it notarized and signed?

2) Is there a statute of limitations for payment on a promissary note (if person were to default for a period of time, or pay for a while, then default on payments)?

3) How long could he miss payments before I could take it to civil court and sue? How does this process work?

4) What legal rights do I have to my belongings in his house, if it is stated in the restraining order that he is not to harm my belongings?

Illegal immigrant status dashes college plans where is this free college they all talk about here?

Fernando often paints in aggressive charcoal streaks against the canvas, depicting what he sees as a black-and-white world.

Certainly, he sees little gray in his own situation.

He was a promising American art student at one of the city’s best high schools, with a partial scholarship to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, when he asked his Mexican parents for his Social Security number so he could apply for federal financial aid.

They told him to sit down in the kitchen of their McKinley Park home.

“You don’t have a Social Security number,” Fernando said they told him. “You weren’t born here.”

Like that, he became an illegal immigrant and, as such, ineligible for the financial aid he had counted on to matriculate.

School officials say his case is not unusual. Each year, students in this country illegally who have excelled at high school suddenly run up against the brick wall of their immigration status as they try to figure out how to pay for college. Schools are not allowed to ask for proof of citizenship. But without a Social Security number, the students cannot fill out the universal form required to apply for federal aid and loans.

Fernando, 18, who spoke on the condition that his last name not be published, was the only illegal immigrant in Lindblom Math & Science Academy’s first graduating class in 2009, said Paul Welsh, one of the school’s counselors. This year, the school had at least three other seniors like Fernando in a class of 86. .

Welsh and three other counselors have started to confidentially ask early on if students are in this country illegally in order to have more time to work with scholarship providers and colleges to create opportunities.

“I’m watching these kids’ future disappear because of the accident of their birth,” Welsh said. “I was born a white guy in the United States. These kids are just as qualified as me or anyone else.”

Since 2001, legislation that would help college students in this country illegally afford tuition by paving a way toward legal residency has sat idle in Congress, part of the ongoing debate over federal immigration reforms.

But the so-called Dream Act has garnered new attention recently as young adults across the nation have held sit-ins, such as one in Arizona that led to three students getting arrested outside U.S. Sen. John McCain’s office, and “coming out” rallies, where they publicly proclaim their status.

Even as their families push them to excel, students in this country illegally say they sometimes want to give up on school when faced with dismal scholarship options and an uncertain future. They are often frustrated to see their peers, who may have lesser academic qualifications and less financial need, throw away opportunities.

“(Fernando’s) story is very similar to many other stories I’ve heard,” said Nilda Flores-Gonzalez, associate professor of sociology and Latino studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago. “There are a lot of young undocumented students who are faced with the same situation.”

About 65,000 children who have lived in the United States illegally for five years or longer graduate from high school each year, according to a 2009 report by The College Board, a not-for-profit that aims to connect students to college opportunities.

While Chicago Public Schools officials said that they were anecdotally aware of illegal immigrants in their schools, they do not track them.

CPS spokeswoman Monique Bond said in an e-mail that Chicago schools with high immigrant populations have started fundraising fairs and partnerships with community agencies to help create more options for these students.

At Hancock College Preparatory High School near Midway Airport, where 15 percent — or 30— seniors this year are in the country illegally, officials have held carwashes and cookouts to help them attend college.

“We are actively trying to manage this situation …” said Principal Pam Glynn. “We are all about changing the landscape and leveling the playing field.”
