However, when medical documentation is provided to explain absences due to a serious health condition like cancer, it significantly affects the situation. The court typically considers... View More

My juvenile son got in trouble last April. It went to court in late June/early July. The case was dismissed due to the DA not filing the paperwork timely. The lawyer and judge told us that it wouldn’t be brought back up and to live our lives and him not get into anymore trouble. He has done... View More

It's unusual for a case that has been dismissed, especially due to the DA's failure to file paperwork in a timely manner, to be brought back to court for the same charges. Typically, the principle of double jeopardy would prevent a person from being tried again for the same offense.... View More

Reunification (getting your child back) is going to be a process. Most parents find this process a lot less frustrating when they have an attorney representing them. Without an attorney you may find social workers and attorneys for the state who do not want to communicate with you, judges who you... View More

If you leave your mother to go and live with your father without a court order, your father would technically be kidnapping if he refused to produce you back to your mother. If you want to live with your father the proper way to go about that is for your father to either file to modify an existing... View More
They have been in foster care for 18 months and talking about termination because their father is on drugs. But I have everything that was required in order for my kids to come home.

If you are still living with the father after 18 months of your children being in foster care, the Court has likely determined that the children can't be released back into your home, if the father is not sober. There appear to be some details that have been left out if the Court is... View More

A suit for damages is potentially possible, but there is a lot to consider before then. I advise you call some local family lawyers to talk about Emancipation, and then you can get some guidance as to your rights as well. You can be the victim of a tortious action by your parents and accrue a... View More
want to file a couple of motions, one being a motion to dismiss.

If you want to file a couple of motions I would google those motions and see if you can find assistance. And you file a motion on your own behalf for relief you personally are... View More

You have an attorney. You should be discussing any issues you have with any orders and the outcome of your case with your attorney. Another attorney can't even represent you while you have a current attorney on record. Sit down with your attorney and discuss what happened in your case.

You should get an attorney who represents parents in juvenile cases to represent you. I fear you're going to have a very hard time getting your child back representing yourself.

You need to file legitimation and custody at the same time.

Unfortunately, without knowing more facts on the basis for the TPO, we can't advise on the strength of the TPO. Her only having temporary custody would not be a restriction to filing a TPO.

I would advise you to seek a consultation with an attorney. Because no one can begin to give you advice based on the sentence you have posted on the board. Many more details are needed in order to provide an accurate response.

Because the driver is under 18, he will probably need a parent to appear in Court with him. If found guilty of the offense, he may face a fine, and possible licenses suspension, possibly until he turns 18. You need to consult an attorney in your local area that practices this kind of law.

Dad put a no contact order on mom meaning no contact should be made between mom and child. Meaning mom can’t pick up at school child right?

Correct. "No contact" means just that. It generally also means no communication by phone, internet, text message, etc. and judges and the law take violations of such orders very seriously--meaning the mom should too.
Good luck!
I have custody and there is no paperwork stating I dont.

You can ask a Sheriff to go with you to where the child is located, after showing your order establishing your legal custody rights. If the Sheriff won't comply, you can swear out a warrant with a Magistrate or police for interference with custody.
If the child refuses to go with you,... View More
