Do I have to give full custody or can I just do temporary custody until child services leaves us be? I was rushed to hand over rights to in laws so the state couldn't take my daughter but I am scared I won't get her back if I do this

You should be extremely weary of any agreement concerning the custody of your child. Do not agree to anything you do not understand. There are agreements whereby the natural parent keeps a lot of rights and opportunities to change things down the road and there are agreements that really limit your... View More

More facts are needed to accurately answer your question. Do you have a written contract? If yes, what does it say about quitting and being laid off or fired? If not, did you work the 1 week? 2? 0?

I am making an offer on a property and this is stated on the offer contract
answered on Apr 25, 2023
The parties to a contract are free to make whatever terms they like (within reason). How you split up the various fees involved in a property sale is a matter that can be negotiated. If you sign an agreement that says you are responsible for a fee, you should expect to pay it.
Is there any way out of getting jail time?
I also got charged with failure to comply and D.U.S
answered on Apr 14, 2023
It is pretty difficult to avoid serving some jail time on a 4th OVI. That said, you need to work with an attorney to go through the stops and make sure the government can prove their case before accepting a deal, or fighting through to trial if you and your attorney determine it is worth the risks.
I received an R and R of dismissal. I filed an objection. Then filed a motion to amend and amended complaint. What would be the reason the court failed to respond by the dealine to respond....

The court does not have to respond. Whomever you sued does. There could a lot of reasons they didn’t. Do you have service on all the defendants?

The medical marijuana laws are quite specific and there are forms of marijuana, items of paraphernalia, and methods of consumption that remain illegal even for those with a card. You should hire an attorney to look into the specifics of your son's case.

If you are properly served with a subpoena you must come to court and testify. Marital and spousal privileges protect communications, not actions.
I would like this case removed expeditiously. As I feel it violates my son and I privacy and protection.

Depending on what type of case it is, there may be avenues to seal the official records. But that doesn't mean that news reports or entries on websites like mugshots.com will disappear. Talk with a lawyer privately.

Your question does not contain enough information to provide you an answer. It appears you have a question about timing requirements when you miss an interview with USCIS. You should contact a local immigration attorney ASAP, if you missed an interview.

If you can obtain a valid driver's license and insurance before court, it will go a long way to making it easy to resolve the case.

It is common practice to charge everyone in a car with any drugs found loose in the car as opposed to in someone's pursue or pockets.
my first hearing ruled in my favor, however the second one ruled against me on the grounds of my age and some deterioration after years of working. I had no problem with my shoulder until that day. When it first happened I thought it was a simple strain and finished my shift. I iced it as often... View More

Got my license, got married been clean 2 years, do I need to hire a lawyer to get this taken care of or is it something I can do myself

You should protect yourself here by hiring an attorney. You've made too much progress to jeopardize it now by trying DIY your felony charge.

Without examining the ticket, it is hard to say. But if you are wondering if you can be ticketed after the fact, yes you can.
This was her first offense. Commutes to college. Could she represent herself or would a court appointed attorney be wise.
answered on Jan 9, 2023
She should get an attorney. This is not a DIY project. It’s not the end of the world either. But it calls for professional help just like any other serious problem.

No, only the court can "put a restraining order on someone." But your mom may be able to convince a court to do so.
A person claiming to be an attorney claims I inherited nearly a million in gold jewelry but it has to be melted down into gold bars and sold. Is this true?

While you can get gold as an inheritance, this sounds like a scam of some sort designed to collect your personal and banking information so the perpetrators can steal your identity.
