Tell them no problem: you will call DCFS and have them picked up as runaways and put in either Florida Parishes or Foster Care. Then pick up drug tests at CVS or Walgreens and test both of them. Next, get them both into counseling. Lastly, notify the school counselor that they are both... View More

Your question remains open for five weeks, and at this point, you might ask an intellectual property attorney for their opinion of your situation. However, it could be worth keeping in mind that many songs out there are named after people, and there could be millions of people who share the same... View More

You don't "press charges" you make a police report. They take it to the District Attorney who reviews the reports and decides what charges to file. Depending upon his prior record, if any, he will either get Home on Probation or Diversion. If this is not his first time, he may be... View More

Sometimes if you fire your public defender, then you either have to hire an attorney or proceed without counsel. You have a right to a public defender, but not to choose which public defender. If you plan to hire your own counsel, then the public defender would withdraw and your private attorney... View More

You need to see a lawyer immediately, do NOT answer any questions without speaking to and having a lawyer with you. If you or your parents/custodian cannot afford a lawyer have one assigned to you before you answer any questions or say anything.

Given we are talking about termination of rights for cause and not adoption, it is possible, but it does give the State the ability to take future children on a presumption of you are unfit. It is a more complex question than can be answered here...Boeheim Freeman Law 918-884-7791

The answer is it depends. Check the conditions of his probation, and if you are still unclear, contact his probation officer for clarity.
Aside from what is permissible legally, it may be best to assess the circumstance personally. Is this in your son’s best interest at this moment? It... View More

And then there’s your discretion as a parent and what your son’s offense was. It may be best to have him avoid any appearance or opportunity for impropriety.... View More

None of what you described must be done by a professional if a fee isn't being charged. For instance a good friend or relative often does many or all of these. However the school, before allowing it, will likely have some supervision, standards, and limits/boundaries. But peer-to-peer... View More

Her reason for the ungovernable charge was that I am disrespectful and I do what I want when I want. About ten days ago. She slapped me, so hard I couldn’t hear out of my ear.

You have a right to an attorney and one should be appointed to you.

To wait they wouldn't give me any information or tell me why he was arrested. What should I do what can I do

Get an attorney and have the attorney knock on the same doors. Attorneys are especially skilled at finsing out information. Most of us have connections with the police.
My brother in law has a baby with a girl and she refuses to leave the premises. She has assualted others in the house and always yells and fights. If i call the police will i go to jail or will he?
answered on Dec 2, 2019
You probably should file it as an eviction to get her out. Once the authorities delve into a pregnant 15 yo by a 23 yo, he may be looking at statutory rape or UTWAM charges. I wouldn’t involve the police.
I just found this information out. Can I press charges against this young man if he refuses to stop seeing her, and can I press charges against my ex wife for child endangerment?

Yes you can file charges. There is a long list of possible criminal charges that can be filed against both the 19 year old and your ex-wife. The sooner you take action the less danger your daughter will be in. Good luck.
