Either you need need to seek permission from the Court, unless you have written permission from the other parent in order to move out of State. Get a lawyer to secure the proper permission.
If that person was your partner and wants to drop all charges even the state picks it up how long will it takes for you too see your partner after they want to dismiss charges on you?

No one can be convicted until they plea guilty or a jury or judge finds them guilty. Sounds like the State's only witness is one that doesn't want to testify against you. In my opinion unless a police officer observed you with the weapon, the State doesn't have much a case. You and... View More

It is not uncommon for people to change lawyers in the course of their divorce proceedings. If you do not feel comfortable with your current lawyer perhaps that is what you need to do. Get a second opinion. However, the next attorney will bill for their time as well.

Depends on your structure. Were you formed as an GP, LP or LLP. If you were a general partner, then yes you may be on the hook. Get in touch with a Lawyer who knows business law. They will be able to look over your structure and governing documents to determine what your exposure is or isn't.
