In most jurisdictions, no. One of the conditions of bond is that you not commit any new crimes. The new charge will violate the conditions of bond on the old case. The State or the Judge on their own motion can request a revocation of the bond on the first case. You are going to need to speak to an... View More

Whether criminal charges may be initiated is solely the decision of law enforcement - either the police or the State Attorney's Office (prosecutor's office). If the reporting officer refused to either charge or commence a criminal investigation, you could try the intake office of your... View More

You should notify the State Attorney that he's calling and violating the Order. Keep a record of the calls. Your daughter should not speak with him, but if she does the only thing she should say is "don't call me". Inmate calls from jails are recorded, so there will be a record.

it's his as much as it is yours. So your best bet is to find another place to live.

You need to file something with the court asking for what you want. If you want to increase child support or reduce timesharing then it is a modification. If you want to enforce something then it is a motion for enforcement.

This is something you should ask your attorney.

Those probably would be two different things: contempt of court for allegedly violating the injunction, and whether the injunction should continue. But ask your attorney to be sure.

You paint a very serious picture...has the judge issued a ruling yet...and what kind of hearing was scheduled and what happened...remember appellate time frames...Although it sounds like any appeal of this case is unlikely...Custody issues are always reviewable...Sounds like something went terribly...

Yes, the judge can talk to the jury without wearing the robe. The robe is just cosmetic.

No, you don't get defaulted unless you have been served with process.

You should retain an experienced criminal defense attorney ASAP. It could surprise you that the innocent need at least the same level of defense as the guilt.

Sorry, but I have no idea how you figure that all of this will result in your father loosing his home.

There are reasons for not taking depositions...although from the sound of your question, yours is the type that depositions should be taken...You need to have a heart to heart conversation with your lawyers and, if you are not satisfied with the response, you should and are able to seek a second...

Regarding the "contract" you made with your mother, it's not a valid, enforceable contract (even had you signed a proper signature). Minors do not have the legal capacity to enter into contracts, and even if you were an adult, the contract would not be valid for other reasons.... View More

Defend yourself against what? You said the officers left without arresting you, and I assume you mean they also did not give you any notice to appear in court. Also, from your description, it does not sound like the type of police case where they will be in on-going investigation to determine if... View More

I expect that you can get a court order requiring them to vacate the house. And I doubt that the letter will hold up.

Yes, you probably are legally married. In what state were you married; Florida doesn't have justices of the peace. If it was in another state, a document should have been recorded (perhaps with a clerk of court) there. Check with the appropriate agency in that other state.

No, you can't "change jurisdiction". The Uniform Child Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act, which has been adopted by both states, would require that jurisdiction remain with the West Virginia court.

I am not sure what your question is. If I understand your ramblings, you should contact Local Law Enforcement and report the allegations that you have concerning this lawyer or anyone who is engaging in the type of conduct that you are suggesting.

Probably.
