You can file suit in Justice court for any amount under $10,000.00. You better have the hair stylist you say she did it wrong, and who are able to explain how it should have been done, and what is required to correct it, willing to come to court to testify for you.

I would recommend you file for divorce and seek custody of your son. I would do so sooner rather than later, as the longer you allow your son to live with another man taking no action, it appears you don't think it is harmful.
Now, until there is a court Order in place you have as... View More
Do we have to settle child support and custody before divorce is finalize?
answered on May 6, 2019
If you are filing for divorce and listing the child in the divorce, which of course you should, that puts custody and support in question.
If he files, you should file an answer to insure a default judgment isn't entered giving him everything.
If both of you use the same... View More

You can always hire another attorney to fight for you if you can afford to.
The question is, did you already plea? If so, it is very difficult to set aside the plea.
If you have not accepted the plea, you simply have to find an attorney you feel confident can do a better job.... View More

First, what evidence do you have showing it didn't happen the way they claim? Witnesses? Video? As you see online all the time, there are video's showing law enforcement using deadly force when not necessary, or using excessive force against citizens. But, before an attorney is... View More

If this was while in prison it will likely be hard to find an attorney who will take the case. It is just so difficult to pursue a case against the prison system, it almost has to be a death case before one can justify taking the case. If it occured while in county jail, that might be a little... View More
My landlord file suit and was awarded $999 plus court cost. I was alerted by Credit Karma that a collection report had been made on my credit file from the same creditor but the amount is over $5K. Can they do that? When in court, they never asked nor did they receive this amount. What can I do... View More

The answer starts with that depends. If this is an old judgment the post-judgment interest could have raised teh total owed to over $5000. Or possibly the judgment included attorney's fees beig awarded to the creditor. You should get a copy of the judgment if you don't have one and use... View More

I would have her see if the attorney who represented her will be willing to ask the DA to agree to release or prepare a Motion for her to file if he won't file it. The attorney may charge for this additional service or may be kind enough not to.
answered on May 6, 2019
This is a prime area of legal practice right now. The problem is, usually the person who committed the offense has few, if any, assets to recover if you get a civil judgment. If you have any idea of the person's financial situation that will be very helpful to know in evaluating whether such... View More

Attorney's have people come in saying they will have an "uncontested" divorce. Often that is not how it ends up. So, hire an attorney and allow then to file the petition, and prepare a waiver and proposed final decree. You can then see if she will agree. If she does, it will cost... View More
Now she is returning back to mom can I get credit for 3 years I didn't receive anything and did it on my own?
answered on May 6, 2019
If you are still operating under the Temporary Orders, first call the District Clerk and confirm the case is still active, and a Final Order has not been entered. If one has not, I would ask my attorney to set it for Final Hearing. You can request the Judge Order support in the Final Order.... View More
My husband is trying to kick me out of the house and wants me to leave the kids with him. The house is in his name but we bought it while married and we still are.

It is community property and he would need a court order to do so. If you want custody of the kids, don't leave them.
You should file and have temporary orders entered awarding you the house and kids.

Might be safer to file to Terminate Parental Rights in Texas. He has abandoned and failed to support the child and you should be able to have his rights terminated.
i sent my daughter to live with him for only a month because of personal reasons. i did not want my daughter in and now that the situation is over he is refusing to give her back to me
answered on Apr 7, 2018
If there is already an Order giving you custody you will file a Writ of Attachment or Writ of Habeas to get the child back.
If no Order, then you would have to file either for Divorce, or to establish paternity and seek to get the child back.
I am trying to file a nunc pro tunc (for name change of a child) it asks for the order name
answered on Apr 7, 2018
A nunc pro tunc is only used to correct a typographical error in a prior Order. So, this is asking the name of the prior Order with the error you are wanting to correct.
My guess is, numc pro tunc isn't the way to do this, but you need to file a Petition for Name Change, a totally new suit.

What questions do you specifically have? Best to schedule an appointment and sit down and discuss them directly. The attorney will have many questions for you too.

To legally leave you either need to be emancipated, which requires filing a suit in court and asking the court to find you should be able to be considered an adult, or wait until you are 17. Or, the best option would ask your parents to allow you to live with the friend and their parents.
Could you also sue for defamation in that email since now permanently on a public server since emails are stored forever?
answered on Apr 7, 2018
Better to block them and remove them from your life.
You will have trouble finding an attorney who would file such case. No money damages. Just some irritation and frustration.

How can I legally see my son?
answered on Apr 7, 2018
If I were you I would not have this disclosure of facts on a public forum. You have admitted you have committed sexual assault of a child.
If I were you, I would likely NEVER make an effort to to see the child. I say that because you could end up in prison and not see the child until they... View More
answered on Apr 7, 2018
A person under age 14 cannot consent to sex. So there is a presumption if is without consent.
If the 16 year old is more than 3 years older that the 13 year old, that is another problem. While on paper it looks like 3 years, it depends on when the birthdays fall. 13 year old could have... View More
