Sounds like a rough situation you're in - sorry to hear it. The only "restraining order" your grandparents might be able to obtain against your boyfriend is a Protection from Abuse Order, with them filing on your behalf (since you're a minor). They'd have to swear under... View More

Can the force you to sign a document? No. Can they seek some sort of court-ordered relinquishment? Perhaps.

Her levels are either going up and down because she's abusing or because of an organic reason. If it's organic, she needs an attorney and a medical expert to testify or that baby will be take by CPS.

Is who they are living with right now breaking any laws by allowing them to live there without consulting the legal guardian at all and also moving out of town with the child without parents permission
answered on Jun 16, 2018
You can't keep the child away from the parents. If there is a problem with the parents -- if they are unfit -- then a private custody petition would be in order.
She thinks police are a joke judges teachers she's been through counseling on medication nothing has worked if I could put her in a boot camp I would my daughter-in-law has six other children who do what they're supposed to do on a daily basis this child is out of control and we do not... View More

If you've been told nothing can be done until she is 12, then it is unlikely the court system will do anything.
DHS corruption and false allegations of sexual abuse
answered on Jul 7, 2018
There is certain statutory provisions in Oklahoma that must be followed before DHS records are made available in any case. You will need to hire an attorney familiar with DHS proceedings to represent you to file the necessary motion to have those records made available.
Is he able to leave legally at the age of 16 with out having to go threw an emancipation?
answered on Jun 13, 2018
No, he will have to be emancipated or have his parents' permission to live with you. If you believe his parents are unwilling or unable to care for him, you can seek a temporary guardianship over him, but that will have to be done in Colorado.
Who is wrong and at fault even though the person who walked up to me had made no,threat and no confrontation and I punched him started fighting is there self defense involved

This is a hypothetical which can end up in many different directions. I don't want to discuss it here because cops and DA's surf this site quite often. You should instead call a local attorney for a consult.
My buddy said he was breaking off contact with the 13 year old girl he was talking to and blocking her. She said “fine I’ll go kill myself”. He gave her the suicide hotline number and the blocked her. He asked me if he could be charged with anything, and I said I don’t know. So if she... View More

Your buddy has not committed any crimes based on the facts you've described.
They are 4 years 1 m. 10 days apart. The town it took place in says it fall under romeo n juliet law is this true?

The girl's parents can file an incident report with the police, but the detective assigned to the case will determine whether to file criminal charges and what charges will be filed.
Or I’m pressing charges. She wanted $300. When we didn’t pay her because there was no guarantee that after we did she wouldn’t still press charges, she did decide to press charges. We just got the misdemeanor citation to appear in court in the mail. Is this something we should bring up with... View More
answered on Jun 7, 2018
The misdemeanor citation is notice of the criminal charges already filed. People do not file criminal charges, police do. Once the police are called, the detective who investigates the matter decides if and what charges are to be filed. In your case, the police determined enough evidence... View More

You both have rights to be with your son but the best way to ensure that you're not in for a major battle every time you want to see him which he's with his father is to memorialize your arrangements in a court order. A notarized statement or agreement is not enforceable in the courts. Do... View More

It is possible for a person to serve time in the Texas Youth Commission (prison for juveniles) even after they turn 18. Stay in contact with your son's attorney. Good luck.
He is 18 asked a 13 year old girl out but that was before he knew her age. He then told her "if she wanted to date they could". He also sent her a picture with no shirt on but from the pecs up (nipples can't be seen, he also only had a shirt off). Now he is worried she could tell the... View More

I believe I already answered this same question posted in another section here.
The general answer to "Can he be arrested?" is yes -- anyone can be arrested for anything. It happens all the time. Mistaken identity, false charges, etc. Just because someone is arrested... View More

I think you're buddy's safe. I also think it's a GREAT idea for him to break off contact with the girl. That way, if the authorities ever question him, he can tell them he broke off all contact as soon as he found out she was a minor.
He was on deferred prosecution program from incident back in January and we signed the papers May 23 to end the program. On may 24th he was caught smoking in bathroom at school. I am weeks away from transferring to Atlanta for my job can they stop me from moving?
answered on Jun 2, 2018
No one can stop you from moving. Your son, however, may have issues. Call the attorney who represented him on the first case. Good luck.

No, you can be charged as an adult. Try to resolve your conflict with words.
