1 hr confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1livelihood Explanation: I'm suggesting this, although its true meaning is "medio de vida o sustento de una persona", because I think it is a better option for use in the courtroom context. Otherwise, the suggestions already posted (my neck/my skin) are correct. However, I think the statement "it's my livelihood…" will make a better impression on the judge or tribunal. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2018-07-18 19:15:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- And this will be especially true if the defendant has to drive to make a living, for example a trucker. Example sentence(s):
