You will have to take her back to court. The legal system is not self actuating and you have to bring a petition for family access and motion to modify to would likely be in order too. You need to speak to a family attorney.

The Federal Government does not call to say they have a warrant for their arrest. They simply serve said warrant and your in jail or at least in front of a Federal Judge. In general the Federal Government doesn't even call people at least not without sending a letter first.

They were arrested on a possession charge but were not read their Miranda rights and this is their first charge. No criminal history what so ever and they have a full time job are seeking therapy for their issues.

The person needs to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney to review their case and perhaps negotiate a plea. Miranda warnings are not required upon arrest only upon an in custody interrogation. Either way there might be options but the case needs to be reviewed by a lawyer in detail.

You will need to speak to an attorney in person. Venue for a child custody proceeding can be complex and will take a review of the cases and facts before a reasonable answer can be given.
with. Under my case file, it says it's for stealing, but I pled not guilty, and then missed my trial arraignment. I should only have a warrant for missing my court date since I was never officially sentenced, right? Should I turn myself in?
answered on Jun 28, 2023
Yes you should turn yourself in. But before you do you need to hire an attorney or speak to your current attorney.
The warrant even for failure to appear always references the charges even if you have plead not guilty. Either way when you have a warrant you need to get an attorney and... View More
Not federal charges. My ex husband was arrested for this offense in Mo. and I was wondering what hope he has for seeing a sober future outside of prison walls!

A class B felony carries 5 to 15 years in prison. It is possible that he might be eligible for probation but more details would be required. How long he actually receives is up to a judge or possibly a jury and will depend on a lot of factors. Your ex husband needs an attorney to represent him.

Would it be legal for me to put a voice recorder in her car. I am the legal owner,only my name is on the title.
answered on Jun 20, 2023
Short answer is no.
Long answer is that this would be a crime and could get you in serious trouble. Also it would be cited in the divorce. If you feel she is being unfaithful speak to a divorce attorney about how to proved it legally and if it would even be helpful.
I admitted to it. If I plea guilty what will I get? I have a clean record besides this?
answered on Jun 14, 2023
There is not nearly enough information in your question to give you an answer. Don't just plead guilty get a lawyer and likely you will get a lot less than without one.

Depends on the officer as there are a range of options from felony forgery to failure to register a motor vehicle or failure to display license plates.

No they are not allowed to lie to the court. Has it happened before certainly. Did it happen in your case or your friends case? That would take an experienced criminal defense attorney to review the case to determine.

Theft of any value is an A misdemeanor in Missouri. The classification only goes up from an A misdemeanor depending on what was stolen.
A judge went straight to hair follicle drug tests instead of the leastbintrusive method first.
answered on Feb 16, 2023
No they are not invasive in a child custody case. Less invasive urinalyses do not give a history of drug or alcohol abuse so the courts often want a hair follicle test.
