Any party can motion for the judge to recuse him or herself.

The police typically wouldn't do this. Jail staff might. Ordinarily, the police turn over all property with the person to jail staff. Once that process is complete, the police are largely out of the picture.

You are probably right that he doesn't have a case.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as sweat equity here. Being engaged is not a legal status. What's her's is her's and what's your's is your's.

I suppose so. Anyone can contact the police and make a complaint. That doesn't mean the police will do anything about it or "press charges". All depends on what evidence they find through their investigation.

They can do so legally. Probably not a wise business or professional practice.

You may have a service issue as well as a statute of limitations issue to raise in your defense. Contact a local attorney to advise.

Probably not. They could collectively employ an attorney to represent them.

You cannot sue the police simply because the court dismissed the case. You *may* be able to sue based on police conduct, but that's a tough battle that you'll really need an attorney on board with.

It's not illegal. Whether the apartment complex has an internal policy about their employees (e.g. the cousin) disclosing information is a separate question that you can address with the apartment complex.

You need an attorney immediately. Your concern right now should be less about procedure (e.g. how the court did this) and more about the facts (e.g. why the court did this).

New charges? Unlikely. The court may issue a bench warrant though. I would suggest contacting the court to let them know you've been trying to turn yourself in, and keep trying to do so.

Perhaps. Ownership and distribution needs to be worked out through probate. But no one is going to independently stop your sister from building unless you all ask the court to.

Months or years. It's not a fast process. And in the cases meriting success on appeal, you often times end up back in the trial court for further proceedings, which again takes time.

Depends...and then a judge still needs to sign it, which takes more time.

What is your question? What you say you did is potentially a felony crime. When you were let go from the bakery, you had no legitimate business being in the employee areas, regardless if there was a sign indicating as such. Let alone go into a safe.

Yes! And regardless of your consent. Your boyfriend may soon learn the hard way about perceptions sometimes being reality.

See if your county or courthouse has a legal assistance center that can advise you on this. In many places, a packet of papers are available complete with instructions.

If the police want to find you, they have ample other ways to do so other than your driver license. Changing it may help them find you faster for sure, but think about it: how are they able to find all those people who don't have licenses or don't update their address?

Are you the ward? If so, you should have heard from someone called a guardian at litem to advise you of your rights and options.
