By "confirmed case" do you mean for the family court to take action on the allegation? Different standards apply between family and criminal court as to what is actionable and even what is considered a "confirmed case". If there are not already criminal charges filed, I can only... View More

You need an attorney immediately. Your concern right now should be less about procedure (e.g. how the court did this) and more about the facts (e.g. why the court did this).
He had them Wednesday after school, supposed to pick them up once they got out on wednesday. Pulled my daughter out early. Caught it before he pulled my son out. Then their dad didn't think he had to report their absence on Thursday since he had his attorney call the school. Is this above his... View More

Depends...and then a judge still needs to sign it, which takes more time.
I had an attorney that was going to handle my case pro Bono and the judge said that they could not do it because I was not a resident of the state of Michigan but how can that be true if I am in court in that state my lawyer would have to be licensed in that state

You can be hauled into court in Michigan even if you are not a Michigan resident. If you are not a resident, according to the judge, you are not eligible to have a court appointed attorney.
How can the friend of the court enter you into a contract without your consent and don't you have the constitutional right to contract or not to contract

Apparently, you are a New York resident who has an open child support case in Michigan and appeared in a Michigan court. I assume the State of Michigan was the complaining party. Under the child support laws of all 50 states, as required by federal law, each state has a state agency to collect and... View More

I don’t wish to press charges on my mother, who is the charged defendant, but I wish to submit a testimony. Or at the very least access the court documents.

Not necessarily. Is this a custody or divorce case? If so, the 1st hearing is usually to establish a temporary order: figure out what's going on and how to keep things from getting worst. There's usually a lot of discovery and exchange of evidence left to do.
Says. in gal no evidence, we love her, known 25yrs. This is unbelievable, corruption, I found her petition, they put in her room, not signed, no rights, says her name, not her orders
have been thinking of making some major renovations to his home. However, I want to ensure my investment is protected in case he dies, we separate, etc. What is the best option to accomplish this? Note, he is in full agreement of us having some type of legal document to protect both our interests.

Best option would be to put your name on the deed as a joint owner. That way, even if you separate, you would be entitled to a portion of the proceeds upon sale of the house. Another alternative would be for him to complete an estate plan, and preferably a lady bird deed naming you as the... View More

There is no such thing as common law marriage in MIchigan. There are no rights obtained from co-habitation. You appear to be on the right path but I would suggest that you also have a complete estate plan prepared for him including a trust while he is still competent enough to know what he is... View More
