The main reason I gave her such a price was that it would help her and it would honor my wife as i think she would approve, I had to speed up the sell and I asked her for $600 down and $400 to come and they agreed and I told...

No attorney can predict the outcome of a case with accuracy. With that being said, if you knew these kids were coming towards your dog and the dog bites them, it sounds like you are the one most likely to lose in that situation because you already knew what was going to happen.

There is way too little information here to make a legal determination. If you are facing a criminal charge, you need a lawyer.

2 months later her owner changed their mind and wants her back- can she legally come and take the dog since she didn't even look for it for over 2 months ? Does she need to pay me for the Vet Bills I had to pay to get the dog fixed and vaccinated?

Dogs are property, it could likely be argued that she relinquished the property. Potential small claims court case.

If they have been living in North Dakota the requisite amount of time, then it may be time for a child custody proceeding to be initiated.
I got pulled over for expired tags. when they asked to search me I told them I had a knife on me. The cop said he ain't going to ticket me for why he stopped me but arrested me for misdemeanor weapon concealment charge. Was that legal?
answered on Feb 4, 2020
Maybe, it depends on the circumstances of the stop. Many lawyers, like myself, help individuals determine if their stop and arrest were legal.
They have dated almost two years he was 17 she was 15. They are still in school. But the mother to the 16 year old won’t let dad see the baby .

A father's rights are not there from the get-go. A child custody proceeding sounds necessary.
My ex recieved a letter from the court stating that they would not sign off on the child support because its lower than the calculated amount
answered on Feb 4, 2020
You need to use the child support guidelines to calculate the correct amount and resubmit.
I have filed for custody of my son and the defendant has been served in the state of MN. If she does not respond after the 21 days given to respond, what is expected to happen then?

A default judgment could occur in which you are awarded all that you have asked for in the complaint. However, the judge is still going to review that judgment to make sure the requests are compliant with the law.
When he sells it i would get half. He's in the process of selling. He probably doesn't remember that at all. My name is not on the deed and the house is paid for. I can get a quick deed. Do I remind him of the divorce papers or what?
answered on Feb 4, 2020
You remind him of the divorce papers. You then sue him for the money if he fails to turn it over. But I would suggest doing so quickly as a lawsuit is only as good as the money standing behind it.

There are some larger issues with a traffic ticket that old. Specifically, whether you have a warrant for that ticket and whether any evidence even exists anymore to prove or disprove the claim. As soon as the case is opened, yes, you could likely dispute.

Child support is difficult to modify, but a stipulated order may do the trick if you are now residing in the same household and sharing expenses.
At what age can a child skip a visit. If they just don't want to go? She goes there every other weekend for one night. We have been divorced for 4 years. What is the ND laws on this?
answered on Jan 10, 2020
The court order must be followed. Skipping court ordered visits is likely to result in very serious problems, including giving the other party potential grounds to modify the order.

A speeding ticket only? A lawyer may be a bit overkill in terms of price.

Yes, but you may be able to sue them for expenses in caring for the dog.
I'm also on parole .. and am doing intermediate measure right now
answered on Oct 23, 2019
Yes - but not in a good way. The judge will kick your dates back because you're not there, likely hold you in contempt and revoke you on anything outstanding, and you may be charged with additional crimes for absconding. I've helped a good number of people figure out their court date... View More
I just want my dog back
answered on Oct 23, 2019
The dog is property. You may have to go to the police station and report that she stole your dog, then see if they issue a warrant. They may tell you they're not interested in helping you, in which case you will need to file a lawsuit for the dog in the state where the property (the dog) is... View More
