You will need to check the Intensive Probation Order (IPO). The IPO is an order from the judge (or probation) that allows him to stay somewhere. This is not a decision from the father. You may be able to contact the judge or probation officer to have them allow your son to stay with you.
She picked her up from a friend's house and hid her from me, and has been instrumental in the kidnapping and coercion of her, which the nose piercing is evidence of.
I filed moiton of contempt in custody case aa well as a moition to modify custody/ visitation. Juvenile court is the one that sent me to superior. I filed and today I get an order to transfer back to juvenile court.
The last thing i wanted. Please tell me there is a way to keep it in Superior??

We would need to review the order and obtain more information to determine if there is a way to keep the case in superior court. You should consult with an attorney to determine what your options are under the circumstances.

In most states adult men over the age of 18 (like you are) can be charged with various criminal violations if caught having sexual relations with an under-aged girl (like your girlfriend is). The difference in their ages is not relevant.
I keep calling the number on the back of my citation/ticket and they keep telling me my information is not in the system..

That happens sometimes. Consider putting a recurring event on your calendar that reminds you to call them every Wednesday at 10am. If you are bad at using your calendar perhaps set an alarm on your smart phone for that purpose.

What are you trying to do? Are you wanting the case reopened? If so, why? It sounds like the previous case was dismissed. If this case never reached court, it likely never made it past the investigation stage. If the investigation found you were not responsible, the case would be closed. If... View More

Perhaps if you wrote in single sentences starting with a capital letter and ending with a period instead of a run-on sentence, you inquiry could be accurately understood.
You also do not state what crime he is accused of.

I got put on probation 6 months ago as a juvenile, and I just turned 16. One of the terms of probation was that I couldn't be around my boyfriend. I found out a couple months ago that I got pregnant a month into probation, and still haven't told my probation. I'm starting to show and... View More

Admitting you violated the terms of your probation could result in a violation of your probation. It is possible that the terms of your probation would be amended if you are pregnant or if a child is born and the court granted both parents parenting time with their child.
I know the age of consent in the state of Texas is 17. However does that mean that they are free to have a consentual sexual relationship with anyone of any age or is there a specific maximum age gap?

You have to follow your parents rules.
You're lucky that the police are settling things with your parents and not taking this matter to juvenile court.
You don't want to have to deal with a juvenile court judge.

This is a criminal offence which you should never discuss online or over the phone today, because it can be traced right back to you and thus to her. Set up a consultation with an experienced criminal lawyer that's your best bet to get the right Advice. It may cost a few bucks to discuss the... View More
After the fight, her mother filed a police report against me and they said the other young lady had a knot on her head. Can I possibly go to jail? I am 17 and a Junior in high school.
answered on May 10, 2019
If you are accused of assaulting the young lady, you could be prosecuted for assault & battery. Assault & battery is a misdemeanor which carries a potential jail sentence of up to 93 days. If you were 17 at the time of the alleged offense, you'd be prosecuted as an adult, not as a juvenile.
They say he will be charged with assault. How will I know this has happened? Both kids shoved each other, but my son shoved first. Should we fight this? At what point should I hire an attorney? The other kid's father is a lawyer.

NOW. YESTERDAY. LAST WEEK.
Waiting to hire a lawyer until the charge is like waiting to have the cavity filled until you need a root canal.
If you were being investigated you would want an attorney now.

I was 18 when I agreed to the terms of a contract with an internet and phone company in Nebraska. I incurred debt with them and wonder whether or not I am legally responsible for upholding the contract I signed at the age of 18.

Good question. There probably is some interplay regarding what is protected information under FERPA and to whom. I do know that as a ward of the court (which a juvenile is while on probation), a probation officer has a lot of leeway into the child's life, and so I do believe the probation... View More

They are more likely to prohibit you from using it. Speak with your court attorney to have them press your best arguments against such an order.
Also this is in Michigan so this could be different in other states. My parents just don't like him because of rumors that are not true. They have no evidence at all, just gossip. What can I do? I also read that I can "run away" at 17 and the cops can't force me to go home. Is... View More

This scenario falls under what I call the "my house, my rules" law. When you are under 18, and when you live in your parents' house, parents can do what they feel necessary to ensure your general welfare. This includes using any legal means to keep you away from what they believe to... View More

Hello. No, until you are 19, you are covered under the Court order from your parent's divorce or custody matter. It sounds like you need to discuss this issue with your parents and let them take the necessary legal steps to make this happen. It has possible child support and tax implications,... View More
