I am expecting a child from a man with whom we are not married, were not, and are not planning. He would like to give the child his last name. For me, this is unacceptable for a number of reasons. Firstly, I am convinced that the family should have one surname, and the family is me and my children. Secondly (and this is the main reason) – we already have one child, and he has my surname, and I am absolutely sure that my brother and sister, who, in all probability, will study at the same school and in general they will be together for a long time in life, the surname must be one, otherwise they will be constantly asked whether they are relatives, etc. Does the father of the child have the legal right to insist that the second child bear his last name? And what should I do to prevent this in any case? Now, if we come to register a child, and he will insist on his surname, and I – on his own – in whose favor will this be decided? 08.02.2010 Recently, I flew to Athens with a transfer in Milan. Somewhere along the way, my luggage apparently disappeared. It’s been 2 weeks now, the luggage was never found, what should I do? The airline responds to all my indignant calls and complaints that luggage is sure to be found and that everything possible is being done, but I no longer believe that my suitcase will ever be returned to me … 08.02.2010 Does the Latvian pension remain for non-citizens who have left Latvia for permanent residence upon moving to Russia or Belarus? 04.02.2010 Can I advertise gambling online? 04.02.2010 I would like to buy a company in Latvia. The seller, who owns 100% of the equity capital shares, wants to receive the purchase price at the time of signing purchase contract and other documents. But I’m worried about the transfer of ownership rights after the purchase price is paid. What if for some reason I won’t be registered in the Register of Enterprises as the new owner or the previous member of the board won’t be recalled? Is there a way to avoid such risks when buying a company? 04.02.2010 Recently used the services of a cheap air carrier – I bought a ticket to London literally for a penny to celebrate the New Year there. The flight was delayed, not for an hour or two, but for more than 10 hours. Nobody really explained anything to me, I was forced to just sit at the airport almost all night and wait. I was late for the New Year’s Eve. Can I ask for some compensation from this airline? 01.02.2010 Yesterday I bought a car from an individual, re-registered it in CSDD.

The company that sold it refuses to make a free repair, explaining its answer with the fact that this particular model is given a 1 year warranty. I heard that under the law the warranty period cannot be less than two years, is that so? 28.01.2010
