He asked for the apartment on the restraining order and now I can't get it. Please help me
answered on Aug 4, 2017
You need to hire an attorney for an issue like this. If he already has an order of protection against you and you were living with him then he could easily call the police and have you arrested

The child endangerment statute is pretty vague.....it would be a bit of a stretch but I guess it could be considered endangerment.
answered on Aug 4, 2017
you'll need to hire an attorney to look at the statute wherever you are and compare it to the illinois law
be held partially responsible since he knew I was driving and wouldn't stop texting me?
answered on Aug 8, 2017
Probably not---you are an adult and should have ignored the texts while driving and don't drink and drive!!! I hope no one got hurt.
Hello. The father of my child has been absent from his life for over 10 years now. My son is 13 years old. He made contact to connect with him last month. I allowed him to have his number so they can talk, and text. Then I get a letter about court. Parentage civil case. He wants visitation rights.... View More 
answered on Jul 23, 2017
You should hire an attorney or look at a legal aide organization if you cannot afford one. The courts now are hesitant to deny father's visitation rights completely--the court might order supervised visitations with the father. Each case is different and the court will decide what is in the... View More

it's completely up to you, but a good attorney can help you with paperwork and would know what exactly you would need for an administrative hearing and put on a good case for you
Left turn arrow just went out as I turned. I also got no insurance ticket because I didn't have current card in my car. I AM covered and got a copy from my insurance agent for court. Do you know how much the fine is for my moving violation?
answered on Jul 20, 2017
The moving violation is a petty offense and the maximum fine is $1000. From my experience, prosecutors will ask for $120 fine with conviction. If you want court supervision, let the prosecutor in court know. He or she may agree to it on the spot. I think you can also call the prosecutor's... View More
I have pictures of the markings with dates they were taken.
answered on Jul 20, 2017
You can certainly call the police and make a report but I am not sure what prosecutors would do with a case like this. If he was abusive I think it's important for you to notify the police so they can keep a record of it. The prosecutors will then decide if they will file charges or not.

yes it's a possible outcome but the prosecutor has to agree to it or the judge has to sentence you to it.

It's not a $150 ticket but you do have to go to court. If you plead guilty then you'd have a conviction on your record. Get an attorney and see if you can amend the charge down to a petty offense and ask for supervision.
When will my liscense be suspended? If my court apearance to get supervision date is before i recience the letter of suspended liscense can the court supervision let me keep my liscense to go to work???
answered on Jul 19, 2017
if you get a conviction then your license would be suspended. I would hire an attorney to see if you can get supervision or the ticket dropped. If you do get 2 convictions and notice of suspension, then you'd have to hire an attorney to request a hearing with a Secretary of State hearing officer.

No one here will be able to give you an advice on this situation. Use Justia to locate a family lawyer and schedule a consultation. Looks like an order of protection or a petition to enforce child support may be possible here but I am sure there is more to this story
I want to become an emancipated minor, but I'm not sure that the courts would agree with my specific situation. I've never been abused or neglected and my parents love me. The only thing is I'm extremely mature for my age, 14, and I want to enter the workforce and move out on my own.... View More
answered on Jul 19, 2017
If you were extremely mature for your age then you would know that without a high school diploma or any college/vocational/technical school, you will most likely be doomed to work minimum wage jobs. You say there is no abuse/neglect, so stay with your parents unless you want to work pay check to... View More
Do I lose out on any claim to the house. If I walk out due to unhealthy situation at the house.
answered on Jul 18, 2017
That's something to be determined by the court. It's marital properly so she probably won't just be able to "take over" the entire house

Breaking the court order at the very least, you need to file an emergency motion in court ASAP. I would hire an attorney on this if I were you. These types of cases can get complex and messy.
She went to court with out me knowing and got childsupport but like o said the kids are with me 6 day out of the week
