While you may be able to the first court date is generally an advisement hearing. Best to get a lawyer and have them file a motion to have the matter moved to juvenile court.

Yes, unless you have an existing court order she can move and take the child with her. I would suggest you contact a lawyer and get a order in place. If she moves with the child and no order, once you get jurisdiction in another state you will have to fight for your rights in the new state.
We got into a heated argument. And he got upset and he grabbed and took off with her. I tried to get her but he elbowed me and pushed me down. In the argument there was no hitting involved just yelling. I’m afraid he may have taken her out of state.

If you were hurt when he elbowed you and pushed you you should call the police and get him arrested for assault and then you will have law enforcement help getting your child back. Otherwise without a criminal matter the police will not be involved and if he is the father of the child it is not... View More

You need to get a lawyer involved to obtain the dog(s) so that he does not take them. If you have proof than you should be able to get them back. Timing is essential for getting the dog(s) back. You may also have certain rights as regards other mutual property.

The court will normally set a pre-trial hearing prior to the jury trial just to make sure there are no remaining issues and to insure that the proper jury instructions have been approved or submitted.

If you are the only parent on the birth certificate you can provide guardianship to your mother. If another parent is involved than they would have to sign off in theory. This would allow her to send the kids to school, medical needs, etc..
They have been living in her mother's home he can't find work and there is a job available in NC can she legally move out of state. Her mother is threatening to have the arrested if they do.

If she leaves without her parents permission they she can be in trouble. The age to be an adult in NE is 19. So the answer is Son can go, but daughter has to be get permission or wait til she is old enough.

The best advice I can give you is to get a lawyer. The court should have awarded you custody if the child was taken from the other parent. With a lawyers help and advice you should be able to regain custody.

You could move to dismiss the action, but the other side depending on how far it progressed could move it forward. It is very easy to file a modification based upon a chance of circumstances. It is always best to talk to a lawyer to learn about the ramifications of any legal action.
I have a child and I have not seen or heard from the dad in 5 years. Child support stopped 14 months ago. He has also lost the rights for 2 of his other children due to meth. I am married and my husband wants to adopt how do we go about it

answered on Aug 3, 2017
Sorry, but your question raises a number of issues and also concerns. It would be best for you to consult an attorney who should be able to get you the adoption you desire.

While there is no set time limit, unless the party is in custody delays of months would likely be acceptable. The forcing the court to rule is not an real option since it will likely result in a denial by the court. The defense cannot even appeal the ruling until the defendant has been sentenced.

A construction vehicle was in both right lanes of the street. The two left lanes and turning lane had no vehicles in them. Is it illegal to go around the obstruction using the turn lane?
