Your best bet is to hire a lawyer in the same area as the court. Sometimes they can file a motion to get the warrant Quashed and get you some time to complete the classes. Sometimes the judge makes you appear. If there is a bond on the warrant you can pay the bond and ask to have a telephonic... Read more »
The court appointed attorney but he never returned calls or emails so we hired a law firm for my son and the attorney they appointed to him has not filed for a bond reduction that we had asked him to do 4 months ago. He just says he dont think they will lower bond. We are from out of state. My son... Read more »

Last year (in 2022), I filed a chapter 13 bankruptcy. At the time I filed, I did not qualify for a chapter 7 bankruptcy because the equity in my car was too high.

Mr. Denison's answer is not correct for Arizona, but it might be for his state. This is a much more complicated question than you realize. Prop 209 is being challenged. Plus Prop 209 (assuming it stands as is), will only apply to those bankruptcies filed after December 5, 2022. Depending on... Read more »
He wants full custody but doesn’t want a court battle. I believe it’s illegal for him to pay her but realizes it could be more expensive to fight for full custody in court. Does he have any options?
answered on Apr 30, 2023
He has two options: Get her to agree to assign custody to him or take the matter to Court. Absent her agreement, he's going to have to go to Court. He should also put himself on the Putative Father Registry ASAP so that she can't adopt out the child without his consent.
He can... Read more »
Can I just get a notary form to have temporary custody of my grandchild living in another state if both parents agree?
answered on Apr 30, 2023
Technically, that should probably be asked of an attorney in Hawaii because, likely, Hawaii is the only state that can determine custody of your grandchild.

She can.
But she will have to sue you first and get a judgment. And then she can garnish your wages or put a lien on your property.
