While in court I understand the two parties will use evidence against each other, what should the victim look out for? How could the abuser turn the story?
answered on Dec 5, 2022
The abuser can attempt to file charges but typically the charges are not accepted by the County Attorney if they are the second one to file.
If I write my kids mothers friend , that I miss my kids and I’m taking steps into therapy and taking parenting classes to better myself. Am I violating , the order ?

You are not violating a no contact order by contacting third parties but if you are contacting them so that they contact your ex that would be a violation.

I don’t understand the facts. It’s a confusing scenario. If you violate a DVO and there is clear proof they could turn it into the prosecutors and they could seek charges but not always and even if they do that wouldn’t mean you automatically lose a child
stolen I told them the truth and filled out a paper of what I stole and signed it. It has been almost 9 months and I have heard nothing back on this nothing has happened yet. Is there going to be any criminal charges happening or did they give me a slap on the wrist?!
answered on Nov 21, 2022
If it is a misdemeanor there is a one year statute of limitations so technically you could be charged but if it has been 9 months the chances are very good you will not be charged.

It is highly unlikely there will be a change to a parole board ruling.
answered on Nov 15, 2022
It depends on the Judge and the County. Typically one week to one month.

You will need to have really a clear picture of your prior felonies and the sentencing dates of those felonies and any expiration of probation or parole. I would contact a experience criminal defense attorney in your jurisdiction

This happens from time to time. People have old warrants in the system. You need to hire an experienced attorney to take care of this as soon as possible.

They can only be arrested in court if there were prior orders in place on another case or a previous EPO. If they are just being served with the paperwork and had no knowledge of the restrictions they cannot be arrested for only violating those restrictions.
There is an hour long video of the full incident. The defense is pushing for a state of mental distress during that time and saying that a mental health condition caused them to behave that way.

Yes. Typically in these type of cases a competency evaluation is performed and once the results are in there is a competency hearing. Both the prosecution and defense argue their position and the judge ultimately decides the issue.
answered on Sep 13, 2022
If they were never served at all then they had no notice of the restrictions. If they have a prior EPO or DVO that has restrictions in place and they violated a warrant can be issued for their arrest based on a new criminal charge of violating an EPO/DVO. An EPO or DVO by itself is a civil case but... View More

The short answer is yes. There is no statute of limitations for felony offenses in Kentucky. She should contact law-enforcement and they can help her with this process.

You can hire a lawyer and have them present proof to the Court that the vehicle was registered in someone else's name. You should be able to get some sort of record from Ohio Department of Transportation.
If I plead guilty in 2021 and I can’t exsponge until 2027, is there anyway I can get it remove before then And get it off my background, I heard from a few people that an lawyer can go through and try to get it remove by maybe reopening the case or something like that is this right?
answered on Aug 19, 2022
You may be able to petition the court after five years from the date of plea to expunge the case. You could also try getting the plea set aside but that is unlikely.
