Yes, he can get in a lot of trouble seeing how the baby is proof that he committed a criminal offense known as unlawful sexual conduct with a minor (commonly known as statutory rape).

It's unclear what you have been cited for, and we certainly cannot speak to the motives of the government in citing you, but considering you've been summonsed to court I would suggest you hire an attorney.

It depends on the specific charge being brought. You citation should state the code section under which you are being charged. Look that up and it will reference the level of the offense and refer you to the penalty statute. Pull that up and it will tell you the penalties you are subject to.... View More

Depending on the background facts, you may want to involve law enforcement. You are essentially looking for an injunction / civil protection order. I suggest speaking with a local attorney about your options and the procedural requirements.

No question is asked here. If you received a notice from the Court to appear, be there. Otherwise a warrant may be issued for your arrest. I suggest sitting down with an attorney to review your situation in detail.

Best of luck.

I'm sorry, but I don't see a question here. You may want to rephrase. Your girlfriend should either speak to a criminal defense attorney about her case, or her public defender if she qualifies and one was appointed.

Best of luck.

Q: If I sign a quick claim deed, does it admit that I own that land?

My mother passed away 26 years ago with a will and a trust fund, so we did not have to go through probate. Apparently there was a plot of land in her name that was not included in her will.

A quit claim deed simply gives away any interest in the property an individual may have. It doesn't involve offering any guarantee as to the condition or title or the amount, or even existence, of an interest in property. So, no, it would not operate as an admission of having an ownership interest.

They advise charges include, Theft by Deception, Violation of Federal Banking Regulations and Collateral check Fraud. This loan is probally 5 or 6 years old. They advise if I don't respond within 24 hours, I will be arrested. It came in my Spam mailbox. Can they do this?

That's a scam. The law specifically prohibits threatening to arrest debtors in connection with debt collection attempts. If you did commit some kind of fraud on a payday lender, they would need to report the matter to the police, who would contact you regarding any potential criminal penalties.

You will want to reach out to your sister and at the very least get a clear, written statement that she is giving you the piano before you put it in your will and try to pass it on to your children or anyone else. If you don't have clear ownership of the piano and you will it to someone else,... View More

Q: What is the maximum a judge can do for a bond for this offense

It was from may 2019, the person called and said she had permission, she didn't know she had a warrant for it as they never served it. The judge gave her a $10,000 bond. They never offered her a attorney or public defender

Your question doesn't state what the offense is. $10k is a middle of the road bond number that could apply to any number of offenses. In many counties, one must apply for a public defender. You should contact the local public defender's office to find out the procedure.
