We got married in August, and turned abusive. I know have a restraining order on him for domestic violence and stalking. So is there a way to annul it or no?

If you hire competent legal counsel, your attorney can ask the Court to grant you Temporary Legal and physical custody of your children. You should always hire counsel to do this type of legal work for you. Never try to do this by yourself. What you describe may be chargeable as a crime or at... View More

If a mistake was made by the Court, you may file a Motion to Reconsider. You must not introduce any new evidence but merely point out, usually with a brief, why the Court's decision cannot stand. This motion is always filed to the Court which granted the change of venue, in order to give the... View More

I'm trying to transfer the lease on my apartment. I've been telling applicants that the rate is 789 for the next six months at which point they will have to renew.

Leases are "contracts." A "Contract," is two or more parties, making an "agreement." Most agreements for apartments are in writing. Do you have a copy of the contract? Did you sign the "Lease Agreement?" If you did, simply read it. What does it say... View More
Can his biological parents stop it from happening
answered on Jan 4, 2021
Do I understand your question correctly? Did the bio parents lose custody? You refer to him as your "son?" Is he your legal or bio "son?" If we assume that he is your "legal son" and that you have "legal, permanent guardianship" of him and would like to... View More

He has supervised visitation but hasn't seen our child since 2017. Do I have to inform him of the move or can I just take our order and file it down there? Our order doesn't mention anything about moving.
answered on Jan 2, 2021
Just to be on the safe side: I would file a Motion for Permission to move. If you move to UT without informing your ex, all you're doing is giving him ammunition that he didn't have before. Once you file your Motion for Permission to Move, and send the father a copy, what do you think... View More

Stipulations are "agreements." Agreements can be ruined by:
1. Arguing against it in open court;
2. Failing to draft and file a proposed DECREE or ORDER consistent with the Stipulation; and,
3. Acting against it.
If the party claimed the children in 2019... View More

Personal represenative surviving spouse has sold numerous personal property items never recorded in probate

Yes. What you are alleging is "malfeasance" and subjects the PR to removal. Make sure and get your ducks in a row before asking a judge to remove a PR.

answered on Dec 29, 2020
If Probate hasn't been started, YOU can start it. File a Petition to be Appointed, then you can send a letter to step dad demanding that he return property he sold or pay the value of property he sold back to the "estate"
Said reason for traffic stop was bad tail light. Searched my vehicle and arrested me for possession. Police officer lied. My break/tail lights weren't out. They work just as they should. Can I get my possession case dismissed on ground for unlawful traffic stop?
answered on Jan 3, 2021
Your questions raise more questions. What time of the day? Night? was the stop? Were you driving in a "bad neighborhood?" Was a drug dog used? From the time your car got turned off after the stop, how long did it take the drug dog to get there?
If NO dog was used, try to... View More

You must list all your property in your petition. Any such transfers of vehicles would likely be fraudulent. Consult a competent bankruptcy attorney to review these issues before you do anything.

As an "addendum" to my earlier advice, let me say that you are WELL within your rights to sell a dog that you own, for as much money as you can get. Of course, without seeing the actual agreement, there is no way to determine what "conditions," you and the previous owners... View More
