The first question is a hypothetical, which I can't answer since I don't know what the law will in May of 2023. The second question is that if the original home that was destroyed had your name on the deed, or was by financial equity of some kind marital property then you have a pretty... View More

Hire an attorney who handles Drug Trafficking cases and understands the 4th amendment search and seizure issues. Don't talk with police or investigators. These are complex arguments and and laws. If you have more questions feel free to give me a call.

Sad to say, the law provides that you still owe child support, even if your rights have been terminated. Without the specifics, it is impossible to advise you on what your options are...give us a call and we will see if we can help.

Taking and opening someone else mail is a Federal Offense. Call the United States Postal Service and ask to speak with an investigator on an issue of mail tampering.

If you pled to a case and part of the agreement was for you to complete community service hours, and you fail to complete them in the time allotted, the State could file an Application to Accelerate (if you are on a deferred) or an Application to Revise (if you are on a suspended). In either case,... View More

I am sorry, but I would need more information on your case to be able to effectively answer your question. If you had an ISP then it would lend itself to the Courts desire to reunify, but as I said, I would need more information. Please feel free to call and set up a free consult on the matter.

Either the decree was not explained properly to you , or it was poorly written. Like Pete said, you need to either an attorney look at this and clarify or fix this issue.

Peter is right. You would have to have the court find that both parents are unfit. It also sounds like the minor child's in another State. If there is some potential of putting into question the mother's fitness to care for the child, then I would hire an attorney in the area where the... View More

The easiest way would be to give her Temporary Power of Attorney. It is just a short document outlining what your mother has the right to decide for your daughter. School/Medical/Financial/Religion. Shouldn't cost overmuch to have an attorney draw up for you.

Hire an attorney to file a motion for modification of child custody and child support. It will be necessary anyway, once your son reaches 18 years old to make the Court and other agencies aware he has reached the age of majority.

The more important issue is that even if you were justified in discharging your firearm in the protection of you or your family under "Stand Your Ground" statues, or self-defense, it is something you would have to deal with in the courts. This means potentially being arrested, booked,... View More

I agree with David, but I would add that you should not make a statements to the police about your case. Hire an attorney and let them get the police reports from Kansas. The sooner the better, before the facts go stale.

Have her call, or you can call, DHS (CPS in Texas) and report the abuse, They will do a welfare check and if she is honest with them they will most likely take her out of the home and place her with another family member or friend of the family. I have seen it before where these emergency... View More

If the father has not been adjudicated as the father by the courts, then he has absolutely no rights. If he has taken the child, then it is kidnapping. I would call law enforcement.

The slight name error is not an issue and will be overlooked as what is called a scrivener's error by the court. What is in place is a Protective order (PO), not a VPO, which stands for Violation of Protective Order. As the person asking for the protective order, she cannot violate the... View More

Hire a lawyer! Don't make any statements to anyone, especially the police. Do not ask you girlfriend not to testify, because that could be construed as witness tampering, or intimidating a witness. The DA has 3 years to file charges. They also don't need your girlfriend's... View More

if the Judge did it at the time of the warrant, because he/she just screwed up on the date, then yes. If it was done after the fact, and the Judge didn't resign the warrant, then no. I would also question the reliability of the information if it was based on then old information. I would... View More

A matter of fact, one of the criteria the judge may take into consideration is the ability of the parent to earn money and they can estimate the amount that person could make if they were to work. This tends to be in cases where it can be shown that the person is avoiding work when it is available... View More

You are clearly in a tough position, and you want to provide the best future for your children. From a purely legal point of view, I would suggest you act out to Family and Children Services and set up an appointment to see what services they may be able to provide. If the services they would be... View More

It will be very hard for any agency to file anything on you unless you have a supervisory role over the child. Co-parent, possibly a close relative that watches the child, or a teacher or school administrator. With that said, health professionals and school people have an obligation to report... View More
