A crime should be reported as soon as possible to preserve the evidence.

He needs to hire an attorney to help him get a custody, support, and visitation order from the District Court.

If the case was continued then you have time to hire an attorney to help you with the case. Meet with an attorney so they can review your case and once the attorney has a handle on what has happened they will be able to explain your options.
What can I do to get him released from hold or speedup the process or to help him at all

Best thing you can do is help him hire the best criminal defense attorney you can find.
Without an attorney. What paperwork do I need to file specifically.
answered on May 6, 2021
Best place to start is schedule schedule consultations with an attorney in your area. The attorney will review your case and explain your options. If the other party is found guilty of indirect civil contempt they can be ordered to pay your attorney fees.
My brother is the mediator. We were court ordered to go through third party visitation. Can he quit? His name isnt on any paperwork and we never signed any agreements.
answered on May 6, 2021
Did the court approve your brother to serve as mediator? Mediators usually have formal training so not sure how that is possible unless what you mean is he is a visitation supervisor.
Either way, sounds like you are in desperate need of an attorney.
I got married in Arkansas on 8/13/2020 in Fort Smith Arkansas. The next following month I filed for an annulment in Wagoner, Oklahoma but my husband decided to challenge the Arkansas law and state that we are not married despite the license being filed in Arkansas and signed by a minister.

This is a situation where free advice over the internet is not going to resolve this issue. My suggestion is take all of your documents to an attorney so they can review and give you an opinion and explain your options.

If you are not married, she can choose any name that she wants.
If you want to establish any rights to the child you must be proactive and file a paternity action and then the court can enter a custody, visitation, and child support order. You can also address the name issue.
Best of luck!

I'm not sure what you mean by suing for spousal abuse/ domestic assault. You would report any crimes to law enforcement as soon as possible after the event.

Combining a VPO with a paternity or divorce case is common. After the cases were consolidated, was a hearing set (by either party) to address both matters in the paternity case?
Did the parties have attorneys or was this a pro se deal gone wrong?
He is constantly texting and expecting an immediate answer, if I don't he accuses me of maliciously ruining their relationship or even neglect.

That sounds unreasonable to expect an immediate response. If you don't have an attorney hire one quickly before your hearing.
Sexual behavior and random girls brought in and children made to be alone in the living room while dad and girls go in the bedroom.

No attorney is going to tell you to violate a court order in a question and answer format such as this.
My suggestion is consult in private with attorney to discuss if modification of your order is an option. Don't make any legal decisions until you have gotten specific advice from an... View More

My opinion would be no. You will probably get a whole lot further if you hire an attorney and let them guide you on what type of evidence will be admissable in court and most helpful.
My step brother is physically abusive towards me also. It has been reported to dhs twice and to cps in Texas a bunch. No one is doing anything about it.
answered on Apr 24, 2021
When you are 18 you can live where you want. If there is abuse it should be reported. If DHS finds evidence of abuse they will have no problem taking swift action.
REQUEST FOR TEMPORARY ORDER HEARING IS DENIED. THERE IS A CHILD OF THE MARRIAGE (X2) SEE ALSO: FD-20-469. BOTH CHILDREN WERE BORN DURING THE MARRIAGE OF FD-20-469; MUST FOLLOW UPA.
answered on Apr 21, 2021
Without seeing the pleadings or knowing any of the details of your case I can only guess. It sounds like maybe a Petition for Divorce and Application for Temporary Order was filed that failed to disclose there were children of the marriage. I am also going to guess that this sounds like a pro se... View More
She has a court date but that's all I know. What can I do
answered on Apr 13, 2021
What you need to do is hire an attorney if you want to fight for guardianship of the kids.
He was born in Georgia and moved 2 years ago. I’m not on child support yet either.
answered on Apr 9, 2021
You would file the case in the state and county where the child currently lives. Hire an attorney and they can get this done for you.
answered on Apr 6, 2021
Some additional information would be helpful in order to answer your question.
What specific law are you referring to?
Did an attorney say a law was not followed or is a pro se litigant saying a law was not followed?
What type of case: criminal, family, civil, protective order, etc?
My 17 yo has runaway, I've contacted local authorities and filed a runaway report.

Assuming there is not something going on in the home that would be a legitimate reason for the child to be placed outside the home, then my answer is pretty straightforward.
As the parent, you make the rules, period. The child does have options but you can limit those options to the child... View More
