My next court hearing is a status hearing on August 12, followed by trial on August 23. What happened to the whole idea of a fair and speedy trial? Shouldn't there just be 70 days at the maximum from my last court appearance, which I believe was an arraignment, and trial?

No, in Kentucky there can be at least 180 days before speedy trial is implicated and that is if you make the motion at arraignment. Plus, in the pandemic era, speedy trials are pretty much a thing of the past.

My best advice is google lawyers in your area. Even if you do not find one you like in the specific city there should be some willing to travel. You may have to pay an attorney from a bigger city a little more but there are thousands of lawyers in Kentucky.

Hire a good lawyer to tell your story to the prosecutor and Judge. You could also attempt to file charges for swearing out a false warrant with the County Attorney's office.
I have her on a text telling me that the only way I can use a car that is in both of our names is if I give her money! Is that not extortion?
answered on Apr 9, 2021
No. Don’t pay her anything. Go take the car and use it all you want. You don’t pay to use your own stuff. Snd file that divorce immediately.

Depends. It tells you the release on the serve out papers but it can be impacted by subsequent behavior.

Don’t give her a dime back snd if she sues you, you can counterclaim and win. She has committed a continuing breach snd her liability continues to increase.
She has allowed the abuse of her adopted daughters to continue with her husband and her own father and has done nothing to prevent it.

I think you should talk to law-enforcement or the prosecutors office in your jurisdiction. If she threatened you for attempting to contact CPS or filing charges that in and of itself could be a felony for intimidating a witness in the legal process. You could also discuss the child endangerment... View More

Many more facts are necessary to properly answer your question but on its face, doesn’t sound like probable cause.
The grandmother of his girlfriend was ok with there relationships but now is freaking out and I'm just trying to look out for my little brother and don't want to see him go to jail

Yes. When they get mad at him, he could be charged with Unlawful Transaction with a Minor. He should be VERY careful.

about seeing probation
answered on Feb 23, 2021
That is a question you can ask the Judge. When you are on probation, you can't expect a full panoply of rights.
answered on Feb 23, 2021
No. If you don’t go in, they’ll likely violate you for absconding. Best to go in snd see what they want.
I was arrested and I was fired from my job. I did not ask for the money and I did not sign anything to get the money.
answered on Feb 23, 2021
I would encourage you to contact a lawyer in that state immediately if you were actually being charged with a crime. Generally speaking in fraud cases the more proof you have for your side of the argument the better.
