Our county system was recently changed - the general rule is one trial (if not picked it's one day, or if picked can run as long as the trial) or one week of service. We had 230 persons, so they can only have about half come in per day to see if they qualify to sit on the jury. I was only there for one day, yes, but you must check in via phone or online each day afterwards, to see if I would be required for the rest of the week, even if I wasn't selected for the trial. Some courthouses are very busy, with multiple trials at the same time that they need jurors for. Some of the jurors that were there on Monday (the first group) were requested to come back again for today, so depending on your number it's entirely possible to sit more than one day of service. Thankfully since I was part of the second group, and I satisfied the judge with questions he asked, I was released from service .

 

As far as the trial went, the verdict came back pretty fast... as no one wanted their time wasted. I knew they would find the person guilty.

Thank you for your answer, may i know please how they select some for trial and some not for trial?  are there somethings that are looking for for those selected for trial/ week?

Absolutely. I wasn't picked for the trial yesterday, but got to know some of those jurors who were seated. None of them wanted to be there, and one in particular was furious. There were people there who had just had surgery and using a walker, another that needed to postpone a medical appointment, and another that had no one to pick up her children. They attempted to seat two pregnant ladies as well, but the defense objected. Some of these people drove well over an hour to get to the courthouse.

Thank you , if  they do not pick me for the trial same like you , that means i will be there just for 1 day?  as i understood  you  were there  for 1 day ?

Congrats on your naturalization! No, there's no amount of time you have to have been a citizen before you can serve on a jury; as long as you've taken the oath and gotten the certificate, you're good to go.

Thank you

If i participate in this jury duty, may i be asked again in the future  to serve?  Thanks for everyone who is helping

no one can tell you how long you will serve 

here they summon a person for a 2 week time frame and some cases get dismissed but a case can go months if criminal case and you have to report for each day of court 

so depends a lot on whether you are called for civil or crimianl court or grand jury 

may i ask you what will i do in this jury duty?

(Just checking -- you're a US citizen? Usually a requirement for serving on a jury, unless some local jurisdictions have a different rule.)

I became US citizen

do i have to stay 1 year from being us citizen to serve in jury duty?

This info is online :

For LA

You will be paid $15.00 a day beginning on the second day of service, plus $0.34 a mile one way, for mileage. The exception to this is a juror who is employed by a federal, state, or local government entity, or any other public entity as defined in California Code of Civil Procedures Section 481.200, and receives regular compensation and benefits while performing jury service. Jurors who are employed by such entities may not be paid pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Sec. 215.

Checks for jury service are computed at the completion of service and are mailed to you at your home address. Checks should be received within a few days after your completed service.

If you are serving on a case and are not required to report for a day or several days, you will not receive jury fees during this time.

Questions regarding jury checks should be directed to jury payroll staff at (213) 830-0498.

Thank you ,  is there anybody who is going to explain this to me the first day?  do you think i should call in advance to know how many days i should be serving?

years before i got the same letter.

Thanks

There is really nothing you can do besides: divorce and move on, or work it out.

 

For me personally it would be exit, not wasting energy on a cheater.

problem solved.

 

While infidelity is legitimate grounds for a divorce, there are no legal repercussions for it. Some states you can try for alienation of affection, but not all. I'm not sure of CA laws.

 

Did you sign a prenup? If not ... you own half of everything.

Thanks for your answer, no prenup , married to him for 7 years, 

is it true if i'm the one i divorce i will need to pay him monthly?

Divorce and move on.  

I thought California is one of these states

This is a relationship issue and has nothing to do with immigration, his cheating has no impact on any immigration process. 

 

No there is no law against cheating - what do you think it is the 1800’s?

 

Divorce if his cheating is unacceptable to your marriage.

 

Just saw you are now a citizen, this is an immigration board for immigration questions related to the immigration process not relationship questions like what should I do if my husband cheats. 

hahahaha, i never seen / heard cheating is acceptable to any woman , are you serious?

Its not against the law to cheat. Its hurtful, but not illegal. The ball is in your court with what you chose to do about his cheating. Stay and put up with it, or divorce and move on.

Thanks for your answer,

Is this an immigration question?

As i'm considering myself as an immigrant and i was i'm asking here,

why?

Hi, i need to know please what is California law about spouse cheating? Should i just keep watching the spouse cheating inside a house or  should i do "something" other than to fill for divorce of course when i'm ready!!!

Here is the story, in the last 2 years my spouse changed a lot, he stopped caring about me and about my feeling, ready to fight the whole time, at point i was always avoiding him in day time until he take his beers and smoke in the evening then i can talk because he looks better, yes this is reality , i used to live like this with him and i was always asking him whats the problem? and if he is cheating he should stop because i knew he has an affair around somewhere close to the house,  VERY CLOSE to where i live, i was just curious to know which house he goes to ? we live in a residential area and he normally  (past) goes to smoke at the park 5m walk from the house for  hours but i know after the park he goes somewhere .

In the last 4 months he stopped going to the park and changed it with a spot close to the laundry room inside the residence where he smoke there and relax Yesterday i was coming home  from a job interview i saw him smoking in his spot as usual, i went home and after a few hours i needed to check the mail box while walking to the mail box , the spouse was not outside where he was and not at the house , i stayed for a while outside  trying to figure out where is he, we didn't see each other since 4am  and it was 8pm and he disappeared, while i was waiting he came out from a house , i know he has no friends 1 friend he already left the area , when i asked him  "what he was doing inside"?he said i was playing music with a man inside and asked " come see?, while we were talking  a very angry old woman stood up and closed the door, the door was almost going to break  ( the door has 1 door and gate), he may be were playing music that moment  but that house is the house i was always asking myself about i connected everything with the past and i know he is used to go there for a long time .

What is California law about cheating ?

Thanks

alright will make it clear and simple for u, so u can have some peace of mind.

I just came back from Morocco like 6 weeks ago.I have US Passport and last 2 years I had Moroccan Passport expired.never planned to renew it. the deal is when u entering Morocco as Moroccan u have 2 options us the second nationality ONLY  and then u get 6 months to stay or Moroccan one then u are Home.but if u only have Moroccan ID NUMBER u can give them that number with ur US Passport anytime u coming to visit and they will grant u unlimited time tostay in Morocco ,so dont even bother to spend time and money to renew Moroccan Passport it will serve u no benefit at all .talking to u from personal experience . have ur Moroccn ID number write it on back of Police check paper and u good to go .

When did you use just your US passport to enter Morocco? This time (6 weeks ago) ? Or 2 years ago?

Thanks

Passport I don't know if that can be expedited. I think you can but frankly, the la carte is what they care about.

 

And if you decide to do so make sure you bring the correct documents with you and passport photos.

as long as you did travel to Morocco with deutch passport and you didnt show the Moroccan  id for the last  3 times. i think its ok for me to do the same thing, instead of keep waiting for new passport here in USA

I know it's a risk, so I wouldn't recommend that to you, but I always played dumb when they asked me for it. Mine is expired 10 years ago, and I just didn't had time nor the desire to go to the consulate and spend a whole day there. The last three times I didn't have a problem getting in. They advised me Everytime again to bring it with me next time I visit morocco.

I don't have experience with the consulate her in America. I know that they are really hard to get in touch with in the Netherlands, they just don't answer the phone. So that seems to be the way they work, you have to go over there.

 

My experience is they don't have expedited, but what you can do if the consulate isn't that far away from where you live,  is go over there and apply for the ID. If I'm correct they will give you a form that says that your carte is pending. You can bring that with you, they will accept that. Usually ( but maybe it's different here in America) it takes a month or two/three for it be processed.

 

 

The consulate is in New york and i live in  Los angeles, so far from me i guess!

I always traveled to Morocco with my Dutch passport, they don't care as long as you have la carte national with you. Marrakech airport is a little bit more lenient btw.

Thank you for your answer, i have  no idea where my Moroccan Id is because i never used it here, it seems like they will questione a lot  in case if i don't represent it in my Entry , well i don't know what to do, do you know if there is any expedite service to have a new passport in USA , the consulate general in New York do not answer the phone calls!!

Just now, Beachlover said:

Are you Moroccan? They might ask you for La Carte National when you arrive at the airport.

Yes i'm , why  they may  ask for a Moroccan ID? have you ever traveled with a US passport  and not  the Moroccan one?

Yes there's no problems for Americans to travel to Morocco. 

Thank you, I know, but i'm not sure what the ""Moroccan American"" can expect at the airport? is it a routine process or its something very special,do they ask why are you entering with a foreign passport?
