This occured in school with witnesses who confirm the incident. The school teacher said it was a accident too. The boys parents want medical bills paid. Is this a reasonable request? If I pay, am I admitting that I am liable for medical bills and possibly a civil suit for pain and suffering?

Was your son charged? If not, nothing will happen to him. If he was charged, you should reach out to an attorney for advice and a consultation regarding the charge(es). Both underage possession of alcohol and possession of marijuana are criminal misdemeanor charges.
17 year old driver, licensed in WV, supposedly clocked at 92 in a 70. Parent in car, clean driving record. Juvenile District Court.
answered on Mar 3, 2019
Every court is different on how they treat 92 in a 70. Some courts give jail time, others convict and suspend the license but don't give jail, and many others will reduce with community service/driving school. Talk to an experienced traffic lawyer in the location where the offense was. Once... View More

His case will be in the juvenile and domestic relations court in the jurisdiction where he committed the offenses. The main one to be concerned with is the driving without a license because that's a misdemeanor. Many judges would continue the case to let him get his permit and consider... View More

You will probably be put on probation and have to complete counselling and stay out of trouble.

She wants to move in with a friend.
answered on Feb 27, 2018
She can move at age 18 because she is an adult.
It would also terminate the obligation of child support. Even though she is still in high school, she would not be residing with the parent who would be receiving child support.
This person is a first time offender. Never had any charges at all, and was VERY cooperative with the police. He even turned himself in.

Getting bond would be difficult, but it really depends on what the charges are.

15 felonies? Reason not to get bond is that he may not show up for court or he’s a threat to the community. Hire a local experienced criminal defense attorney to increase the chances of him getting bond.
my son's biological father isn't listed on BC and hasn't been involved with me since before my son was born
answered on Jan 20, 2018
Adoption. The most preferred method would be an agreed step parent adoption. Biological father is entitled ot notice, and if biological father does not agree, you will need to have a child and prove that termination is in the child's best interest. These are hard cases, and mere abandonment... View More

It may or may not be a trial. There are any other number of things it could be including a "GAL review." Without reviewing your court documents, a lawyer cannot answer your question. My advice is to contact a lawyer immediately and schedule a review of your documentations to better... View More
My daughter got charged as a minor for driving without a license and past curfew. However she had her permit and is getting her license before her court date. What will happen to her license and how will she be charged ? What else do I need to know ?

Those are misdemeanor criminal charges. On a first offense in juvenile traffic court, I usually request that the judge defer the case for six months for dismissal with completion of a driver improvement course and good behavior. Contact an experienced juvenile traffic lawyer for advice. My office... View More
we have consensually been together for 7 months and her parents found out. Her mother has threaten to call the police and file charges. If the relationship is consensual would those charges be filed and approved just for being bias? What is the most that could happen in this situation?
answered on Dec 9, 2017
You could be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. That's a class 1 misdemeanor. That's probably the most that would happen in this case, based on what you've said in the question.

In Virginia, it's illegal for someone who's 18 to have sex with someone under 18. If the police found out, the 23 year old could be charged with a crime.
I lived with my dad for a little over a year, and i moved out a few days ago, just took out the items that i use, and I had a key to the house, only me and 2 friends entered the house, and when i was done i left the key on the table and informed him about it.

He could request you return or compensate him for any items that he owned that were taken. If you're served with a lawsuit, talk to an attorney about what you did and didn't take, and whose stuff it was.

Unless the court order says otherwise, every party in a custody case has to give at least 30 days' written notice to the court and the other parties of any intent to move. The other parent can then bring suit in court to challenge the move if they wish. Talk to a local family law attorney to... View More
