I have all the other necessary requirements: job, money, living situation, maturity, transportation, etc., but if my parents don't agree to emancipation, how do I justify that it is necessary for me to be emancipated?

As a minor, you cannot file the petition yourself. You must have some adult or what is referred to as a "Next Friend" file it for you. It can be anyone familiar with your circumstances.

I suspect you have an appeal de novo, not an appeal. Learn the Landlord Tenant Act and prepare witnesses for Court. Figure out what heresay is, and discern exactly what the Landlord says you breached. Know your Lease. Even if you win, Landlord will file another Detainer. If you really have an... View More

Well if you plead guilty then you have only 10 days to withdraw your guilty plea. If you went to trial and lost then yes you can appeal that verdict but honestly it probably wouldn't change the precedent. I have handled several cases with the same reason but the law is the law.

It is not harassment. But you must hire a competent attorney to file a Writ of Certiorari in Chancery Court immediately to enjoin and declare the administrative action illegal. After reading the Codes, you might complain to the City or County Codes Office, but it will be futile. You must act... View More

If no Bond is filed by the appellant/tenant, and no stay is granted by the Appellate Court, then the Trial Court probably has a duty, and certainly the right, to issue the Writ of Possession upon being called upon to do so. The landlord might be sued for damages later if the tenant wins on... View More

Unless you posted a large Bond, a Writ of Possession is possible. If you ultimately win the Appeal, you can then sue for Damages for wrongful Detainer.

Possibly nothing. But after Indictment the Defendant must defend against the charge. Improper Grand Jury proceedings might be argued at Pre Trial, Motion for New Trial or on Appeal. Without a clear Federal or State Constitutional violation that causes prejudice, no actionable error will arise.... View More

You definitely need a competent attorney to file such a complicated Petition (it is not an appeal). I am not sure that you have had enough time since the entry of your HMO status. Insurance will also be necessary. I am impressed that you are actually trying to get your TNDL back.

Not sure of your question. But start by figuring out what County or Federal District the Defendant is before. Then hire a competent attorney in that County/District to at least look into the matter, and possibly represent her.
Does the 30 days start when the judge signs the order or when it get in the clerks office, judge held on to the order for 18 days giving very little time to appeal
answered on Jun 18, 2018
You have 30 days from the entry of the judgment. Most orders contain some indication or a stamp that says "Entered on XXX date." That date starts your time. If you are not sure of the date, call the clerk's office.

You may file an appeal from General Sessions Court to Circuit Court as long as the appeal is filed within ten (10) days of the entry of the judgment or disposition of the case.

If you are within the applicable appeal period then you could note an appeal. Consult counsel asap to determine your rights on appeal and to evaluate your case.
