In Alabama, and dad wants to see his son like crazy but no one in the family will help him to see his 5 year old son because they 'don't want to get involved'. She has a restraining order against the dad because he yelled at her last year (she is one of those who is using the system... View More

If this is an Alabama matter, I will comment as follows: take the order, which was issued by a court based on your conduct, and see what it says. If it says you can't contact the child -- then you can't contact the child. Your remedy is to go back to Court and ask the Court to grant... View More

If your fiance is found guilty of interference with a domestic violence 911 call, it is extremely likely he will be put on formal probation. In order to put himself in the best position, he should consult with an attorney to discuss the options he has and the best possible outcomes.

DHR is going to be looking at your ability to understand that you have to protect your child. They call this "protective capacity." They are going to look at the circumstances of the abusive behavior and what you may need to to to prevent this from happening again.

If you are divorced, you are too late. You should have raised those issues at trial.
in the 3rd degree after he threatened to kill me.

I assume this is an Alabama issue. THe police arrested you because they believed there was probable cause that you were the guilty party. Hire a criminal defense attorney and listen to what he or she tells you. DO NOT attempt to defend this yourself. GO see a lawyer.
I got into an altercation with my ex at his home. I made the 911 call to police. When the arrived they did not question me other than asking me if I had been drinking. After speaking to my ex ( I overheard him say we hadn't spoken in 6 months which is a lie) they told me to turn around and... View More

Ask for an appointed lawyer in the criminal matter. Defend the criminal case. GO to the court where the charges are filed and file an affidavit of hardship and ask them to appoint a lawyer to you.
So what can I do until I can get a attorney
to be able to have time with my son. Plus he wont let him go to FL on vacation to see my family and my son told me he wants to go. How do i go about havijg rights over someone who is manipulating and acts like a narcissist?
answered on Jun 12, 2018
You need to get a court order, without one in place it will be obviously very difficult dealing with the circumstances. Without an order of the court, you both have equal rights to the child; With no visitation or custody schedule in writing.
My brother and I got into a verbal argument at our parents home, the only physical contact was us being pushed away from each other. I was taken in for domestic violence in the 3rd.

Me and my ex wife plead guilty to a misdemeanor domestic violence charge back in 2012. We were both pretty scared since neither had been in trouble with the law before and plead guilty during the hearing in the belief that it would make things easier on the court and therefore us. I was not aware... View More

This is an excellent example of how ignorance of the law can really hurt a person. You have pleaded guilty to DV3rd and now wish you had not. Alabama's law on expungement won't work when you pleaded guilty.
Your YO status is long gone.
Officer said this is not domestic violence b/c he's been gone from my home for 6 months. Is this true?

Neither me nor our son was harmed in any way, We weren't victims of any sort. What should we do?

We both have a pfa in order & we have 2 small daughters ages 2 & 1. How can I get full custody of my daughters?

The State of Alabama has charged you with DV 3rd. not your husband. You need to get some legal advice right now. If you are convicted of DV3 a presumption will be raised that you are not a fit person to have custody of children. Who bloodied who worse is a police matter. You better concentrate on... View More

You need to go to court represented by an attorney. THis is serious, both for your welfare and you risk of conviction.
