The police are right: this is a family court matter that needs to be addressed there. If you do not have legal custody of the children, it's possible that with the father dead, the grandparents would become guardians. And even if you have shared legal custody, the best interest of the child... Read more »

You are free to consider yourself whatever you want. However, you will remain subject to all rules, laws, and expectations that apply to everyone else....including tribal members.

Go to the family court tomorrow (Monday) or as soon as you can. The result will depend on if you have legal custody.

Did you allow them in or did they trespass to gain entry? The answer to that will determine your route forward.

Interesting question! Have you been filing taxes jointly? As you probably already know, but for others' benefit who may come upon this question, common law marriage is a legal form of marriage in some states. Michigan does not allow for common law marriage, but does recognize marriages legally... Read more »

Really hard to say given the limited facts.

Generally, absent a contract or a union agreement, employment in Michigan is "at will". There is limited protection against firing, but retaliation may be a legitimate issue to address. Your problem, though, may be that by your account,... Read more »

Depends on the facts of the case and how much investigation is required. There is no timeline. I've seen cases sent to the prosecutor a day after a report is made; I've also seen cases that take years.

I don't think it's a CSI report you are looking for; perhaps an autopsy report? You are going to need an adult to help you get that.

What's your question? Are you alleging a physical or sexual assault occurred?

Avoid incarceration? Unlikely. The biggest risk factors are his loose ties to the community and his history of failure to appears. I know people change, but judges see that and think "this guy can't be trusted to be out in the community to do the right thing if he can't even show up to court".

What are you wanting to happen? If that is Royal Caribbean's policy, and they won't hire you back, there is nothing a court can do about that. You have no right to work for a particular company.

I'm unsure if it really matters. Have you tried changing your name with the various entities? Likely, they will not question it upon showing of the JOD.

Quite likely, yes. Once you married, and she moved in, your house became "our house".

Yes.

Get a lawyer as soon as possible regarding the house auction. There should be a court file number, and documents may indicate a lawyer who represents the bondsman, whom you should contact regarding payment.

As to the car, it's likely as part of the bond contract, you signed over title... Read more »

Not sure what you are referring to by "victim packet" but prosecutor doesn't need that to move forward with charges.

It's an uphill battle, but it can be done where the guardianship is terminated. Were your rights terminated - either voluntary or involuntary after a trial? That will determine whether it's a matter of terminating the guardianship or you becoming guardian of your own child.
