To start, contact your local childrens' services. They might advise you to also contact the police.
My Fiancees 16 year old daughter and her 1 year old son basically moved out on us cause she wants to be an "adult", so would she technically be considered a runaway? She's made because we won't hand over her or her son's socials or birth certificates.

Yes, she is a runaway, and could land in juvenile detention. Contact the police and children's services. Parents have a legal duty for support of their minor children. Here is a link to more information about minors:... View More 
She was using the restroom at the time and came out to find a large crack in our tv. Tv cost $2,500 around 3 years ago. She is being paid to watch them every now and then. They just turned 2 years old.

Do you know which twin? Did one of them admit it? Your wife probably assumed the responsibility for any damage when she agreed to watch them in your home. And it could be said that she was negligent when she left two 2-year old boys unattended with the ability to cause damage. You could sue... View More

As a minor, you do not have legal capacity to enter any legal contract or do anything that requires legal capacity. So a POA for you is not going to accomplish anything. A person appoints a person as their agent with a power of attorney to take legal action on their behalf. You do not have legal... View More

Can you talk directly to your father? Or he could sign a medical power of attorney or health care information release so you can get that information directly from the medical providers.
I am 17, I turn 18 next month. I am still in highschool and I live with my dad. Our house is unsanitary, he takes my money I earn from work and I can never get any sleep due to how loud he keeps the TV.

Your parents must follow the terms of any parenting order issued by the court. If you want changes, then your mother would have to ask the court to make the changes, and the court would hold a hearing to determine if a change is in your best interest. If your mother wants to do that, she should... View More

You are 18. You are an adult. There really isn't a document that says that.
case is tenuous but "victim's" family has made a lot of money suing others. assault is bogus and did not happen but "victim" has a friend backing up her claim so there are charges. No real evidence.
answered on Oct 3, 2017
Two people's testimony IS evidence. And, yes, a guilty plea would make a civil suit a lot easier. Luckily, juveniles don't actually plead guilty to specific crimes and aren't actually convicted of specific crimes. They admit or deny conduct which would be criminal if committed by an... View More
I got my first ticket for speeding in April and supposed to get my lisence back November 21st. I got the reckless op ticket in a school zone while school was in session and want to know what's going to happen with my lisence thanks
answered on Oct 2, 2017
Driving with a suspended license? And then you were reckless? In a school zone? The court could determine that you are too irresponsible to drive, and will very likely revoke or suspend your license to protect other drivers and pedestrians from you hurting or killing them.
My child got beat up after school while walking to the bus just outside the school when they called me they wouldn't go into details I requested to be present for any questioning and they said that's not a law and they can question child if they want to. Also so far the police is refusing... View More

School and police officials can question a child without the child's parents present. As far as the law enforcement side of it, the child does have the right to refuse to answer questions from a law enforcement official and/or to insist on the presence of an attorney. The police are not... View More

Contact child and family services. Also contact any local agencies and charities that provide family counseling and assistance. They may have recommendations. The legal system might not have an answer unless she gets into real trouble. Keep at it.
My 2 grade school children's school has an event going on where once a week they can dress down in a creative way. They have no uniforms anyways. But on the newsletter it says a minimum "donation" of 50 cents is required. I don't agree because a donation is voluntary in my... View More
