Your question is a bit hazy. Do you have a good chance of what? Do you want to pursue getting more time with your son? Do you have a custody arrangement established by a court order? You say you're an "unmarried father" but refer to her as your wife. Has your paternity been... View More

You can still file for divorce as long as you have lived in the state for a certain period of time. You should probably consult with an attorney who can determine how to proceed based on the facts of your particular case.

No. Only a judge can modify your visitation.

That doesn't sound like a special phrase that gives him any extra power. If they had a search warrant, though, it doesn't really matter anyway.

An officer has to provide an affidavit (a sworn statement) outlining the probable cause he has for a search to a judge. If the judge... View More

Your mother can do whatever SHE wants to do with her property before her death. If that means she wants to deed it to you, she can. I don't know anything about your mother, but if she no longer has the capacity to make a will and could be considered "incapacitated" (she doesn't... View More

You need both. One is a request for the Court to seal your charge that you file, and the other is the document you submit to the Court, which the judge signs and actually gets the record sealed.

I'm fairly certain there are forms for this somewhere online. Ark. Code Ann. 16-90-1401 and the statutes in that subsection will tell you everything you need to do to get a misdemeanor sealed.

You don't absolutely have to have a lawyer, but it would make the process easier for you.

Certain felonies can be expunged if you've met certain requirements. You'll have to be more specific in order for a lawyer to answer your question.

If your lease agreement says it runs through the end of October, the landlord is not allowed to force you to move out simply because they want to show the house. They have a contractual obligation to you, and forcing you to move out early would be a breach of that agreement.

You likely... View More

A realtor is not required, but you will need to draft a deed of some sort to actually convey the property and its best to put your agreement in writing.

If you feel that the environment is harmful to your son and that he is not even spending time with your ex during his periods of visitation, you may have cause to file a motion to modify your custody arrangement. It's important that this is a new development, because you must prove a... View More

Under the law in Arkansas, she would be entitled to a life estate in a third of the real property, and one third of the personal property. She does not have a right to all of it. To sort this out, you'll have to file a petition for probate, where someone will be appointed personal... View More

If she is in Missouri, you will likely have to file something in a Missouri court to get control of this situation. She would have had to have been competent to give them power of attorney, and if she was and did so willingly, there's not much you can do about it.

It all depends on... View More

Yes, you can.

If the two children you're talking about are not your children, these issues are probably not related.

Are there other kids which you pay her support for? A change in a support obligation requires a material change in circumstances. Without knowing more, I cannot tell you whether she... View More

Does he have court awarded visitation? You can't get his parental rights terminated, only DHS or a court-appointed attorney ad litem can do that.

If he doesn't have a court order stating he is entitled to visitation, you don't have to let him see the child. I would want to... View More

While she's still a minor, the person who is her current custodian has the legal right to make decisions for her. If you went to court, the problem might not even be solved by the time she turned 18 and it would be pointless, by then.

Does he want her to continue living with him?

Regardless of whether there's an explicit lease term about it, by leaving early you are breaching the lease and you will be liable for rent until the landlord is able to re-rent the place. If he has a deposit on hand from you, he can take rent out of that until it's gone. You'll... View More

It sounds like you have a pretty good defense to your charge. I would get someone to take good pictures of all your injuries while they're still visible.

It sounds like you need to get away from this guy and get a court order limiting his access to your kids.

It depends on whether he has established paternity. If he's signed an acknowledgment of paternity or his name is on the birth certificate, he may have an argument that he has rights to the child, but it also sounds like no court has awarded him visitation or anything. If he wants to stop you... View More
