If you believe that your brother is incapacitated and being abused, your best chance is to file for guardianship over your brother. However, be aware that in Indiana the presumed first choice of guardian is actually the person's POA, followed by their spouse.
I am 15 and soon to be 16, and I know the age of consent is 16 in Indiana. What will happen?

No, it is not illegal for a 15 and 17 year old to be having consensual sex in Indiana. Absent a position of power held by the 17 year old you are covered by Indiana's Romeo and Juliet laws that allows for 14 and 15 year olds to have consensual sex with peers up to 4 years older.

You can't close a police investigation. The best thing to do is get lawyered up, don't talk to anyone, and don't talk to the police about it especially! If they don't think they have enough evidence to charge, it will eventually blow over.

My Attorney then sent me a bill for $35K that I had not agreed to.

If you have a contract with your attorney, then get an independent interpretation of that contract from another attorney.
I live in Indiana. My uncle, who also lived in Indiana, died several weeks ago. He was intestate, so there was no specification on who should be the personal representative, and as of right now, no one is officially "in charge" of the estate. My cousin, the deceased uncle's son, is... View More

Your cousin should have already contacted an Indiana estate attorney to handle the estate. There is no problem with having two co-personal representatives. Your attorney can prepare the paperwork.

You have not given enough facts here at all. Do you have children with the ex and the ex is taking the children? You need to go see a family attorney in your area if that is the case. The ex might need to follow the law in your state for this, and it might require your written permission or a court... View More

Give him an amount we feel we should receive 2. Go seek... View More

How is it that strangers on the internet who know nothing but what you have written, which is nowhere near enough, are supposed to be able to tell you what you ask?
answered on Nov 9, 2015
The number? Why would you need that? Are you talking about a phone number? You can probably look that up on the internet.
answered on Dec 19, 2011
no. it is probably more common that a person doesn't actually go to court before a garnishment occurs. a person gets sued, doesn't answer the complaint and summons within the required time, the suing party obtains a default judgment and files a proceedings supplemental naming the judgment...

This is no different than any other attorney hiring. Check referrals from friends, bar association referral services, internet, yellow pages. You could google PCR attorneys in Indiana and find appellate case decisions and see who the attorneys were.

There would be a need for someone who knows sign language to interpret. This is no different then if the witness only spoke a foreign language.

Look in the legal classifieds for the largest paper in your county for such a summons and use it as a template to draft your own.

there aren't enough facts to give you a precise answer. although the person may be guilty of stupidity depending on the circumstances it doesn't sound like a criminal offense. of course there might be public intoxication, disturbing the peace, etc depending on what was involved. hope this helps.
