This is not his first time intimidating and making threats in front of my kiddos. In this case, he invaded our personal space within 2-3 feet behind my son (age 12) and I. I asked (politely) if he could give us more space, he took a step closer and said "It's a free country". Then... View More

If you allege this happened in front of the children, the police *should* be making a CPS referral as part of the reporting process.
After finding a bottle of profolol and taking a pic I asked my mom's nurse if she was being given this med, she first said no, then after I asked why is this bottle in her room, the nurse said well yes she had been given the medicine. My mom was conscious but unable to talk, which is why this... View More

You absolutely may be trespassed from the hospital. If you have care concerns, those perhaps should be addressed as Mr. Selik suggests, or you may need to get other doctors involved to facilitate movement to a different facility.
You will always lose the battle between you and hospital... View More

Too broad of question to answer effectively. Did you go to jail, prison, or both? How long? Were your parental rights terminated, or was custody just changed to the other parent?
If your parental rights were not terminated, you have an uphill climb, but you'll want to work with an... View More
Called the Dr and cancelled her appointments already scheduled and said she wanted everything transferred to the mother's family Dr. He obviously says no but she is doing it anyway. They have joint legal custody. Can she be seen by both of the Drs since this will never get resolved unless he... View More

Your son has the same rights as the mother. Both parents should be informed of all doctors appointments. When it comes to contrary forms of treatment, that's when things get hairy. Ultimately, a motion may need to be filed so the court can order a particular doctor, or in extreme cases, one... View More

Depends on how it is done, and what you mean by "your knowledge". But yes, it is possible to be subject to a support order without your knowledge.
clean up company already started cleaning the basement and removing drywall and demolition has started, but now the insurance company will no longer cover the cost.

You need to talk with an attorney focused on insurance. It will matter whether claim was approved and for what work.
I want to ask for a temporary order to have legal custody until the divorce is finalized. What do I have to attach to the document?

Download a copy of MC 416 from the State Court Administrator's Office website. That will tell you all the information you need to submit.
My sons father took me back to court over child custody. We were never married I had full custody. Him and his lawyer knowingly and deliberately lied in court.

Best advice would be to contact another family law attorney to review everything. You could certainly talk with a malpractice attorney, but some of what you write concerns trial strategy, which is difficult to show malpractice.

Not likely. First, court staff are not the judge. You are responsible for complying with orders to appear unless excused by the judge.
It sounds like the court isn't treating it as a big deal now, but you do need to arrange to appear and make sure you are present going forward.... View More
My son is being convicted of CSC 1 and 2 counts CSC 2. The victims in the case are my younger kids. My younger kids are worried that they are going to be removed from the home. And the probation officer just scared them today by just showing up. So I was just wondering if a probation officer... View More
answered on Feb 1, 2023
The probation officer can't, but as Mr. Zichi indicated, CPS can. The probation officer can ensure that your son is not in the residence or having contact with your other children. This is likely already ordered as part of his pretrial release conditions; probation officers are charged with... View More

Good afternoon. I have someone who is attempting to blackmail me.

Potentially, this is extortion. Is there any truth to what she's saying? Their power lies in the secrecy of what they have or know about you. Even if you get this person charged with a crime, he or she could still release the information, leaving you with a similar outcome as if you... View More

No, they do not need to present search warrant prior to entry; especially in a raid situation.
The judge charged me with what the plea was, then told me in open court that I was very naive. Is it legal for him to refuse a jury trial?
answered on Jan 26, 2023
You should have a lawyer. From how you phrase the question, there has to be a misunderstanding of what's going on somewhere and you would benefit greatly from a lawyer's explanation.
I was awarded all property in my possession and that includes his 2 firearms, which were obtained during the marriage. He is asking for them, but shouldn't they be included in the property settlement? He was supposed to sign over ownership of property in my possession within 30 days as well.

Without looking at the judgment of divorce, I'd say you're in the pole position on this issue. Question though should be whether it's worth your time, effort, and possibly money, should he file a motion over items you apparently know he wants.

Subject has not committed or been charged with any infractions or violation. Noticed drone tracking
answered on Jan 23, 2023
Lots of questions before there can be any answers. 1) how do you know the drone is tracking you? Generally speaking, even if the drone is tracking you - presumably from the air - you don't have a privacy right walking or driving down the street. Things get trickier if a drone is hovering close... View More
He was released to his grandparents that work for the school district even after I told the high school staff not to it took me 3 weeks to get him back

Really depends on your legal status to the child, the other parent's legal status to the child, and whose been listed on the contact card with the school. It's unlikely you're going to succeed with a claim against the school; your bigger issue is within the family.
I spent 10 days in jail for warrent at $45 dollars a day impound fee $243 to tow my car a minute away and face hard times without a car as it is my only means to work it's still in the impound and by now don't know if I have a car
answered on Jan 20, 2023
What is your question? Sometimes the impound people will agree to waive or reduce the fees to allow you to get the car out, but otherwise, your car is staying there until the fees are paid.

Hard to say with what you present. Attorneys are not doctors or mental health professionals; I can only assume your husband presented "normally", and even stating all his mental health issues would not alone require an attorney to decline representation.
