My son was riding his bike at 1:30am on a Saturday night during Spring break and was arrested by Grove PD for curfew violation.

Yes, they can. Have you checked with the Grove City Clerk on the ordinances? They are required to be filed in the County law library in Jay.

Probably not. If there were serious injuries to the other person, a juvenile case could be started. If so You should consult an experienced Family Law Attorney, in your area, for help with this problem.

Ask your friend to Call DHS in Pryor for help with this. They can get your friend to a safe place. If your parents approve, it might be your home.
I know the juvenile bureau has jurisdiction over me till I’m 19. I’m still on probation for something stupid I did when I was 16 I took xannax and got some assault charges. What will happen if I’m still on probation when I turn 19? I don’t feel like the probation will just be dropped. What... View More

You should again read your Sentence and Probation papers. You probably will be discharged then. You also should talk to your probation officer to discuss this. Good luck to you. Stay out of trouble.
Like you are in an argument and out of nowhere they say I’m going to fight you or something

I'm in a foster home it was temporarily for my mom to get us back well she's not I wanna live with my grandmother and my siblings with their aunt and uncle for them to be adopted do I have any say so?
answered on Jan 8, 2018
Your best bet is to discuss this with your DHS caseworker and see what the DHS attitude is about what you want. Also ask when the next Court date is scheduled, and tell them you want to be there. The Judge should have appointed an Attorney or Guardian Ad Litem for you, and perhaps even a CASA... View More
This is his 1st offense except for a few fights in school which he either got suspended or ISS. the petition states to make him a ward of the court and committed to the care, custody, and control of such persons or institutions as the court deems just and proper. what does that mean?
answered on Jan 7, 2018
No clue why he'd be charged with a felony. As of July 1, 2017, that offense is a misdemeanor. Hire an attorney who knows the law.
answered on Jan 3, 2018
Yes, he should be able to do this. If his mom or dad objects, You should consult an experienced Family Law Attorney, in your area, for help with this problem. If a 17 yr old desires to live with you, under Oklahoma law, the court should follow his wishes, unless good cause exists not to do... View More

My cousin had custody of me. Would I get in trouble if I still leave at 18?
answered on Dec 13, 2017
You should stay where you are until you finish school. It's pretty rough out there on your own, and you might not finish school with the problems you could have.

It's not an easy question to answer. The Judge will want to do what's in your best interests. Since you aren't in an abusive situation, and your complaint is "mentally draining", I have doubts about this happening. If you want some real heavy mental and emotional draining,... View More
I’m 17 and I turn 18 in 2 months and there’s a lot of family problems and I want to move to puerto Rico with a family friend without my moms permission, if my mom files me as a runway what would happen to me.
answered on Nov 30, 2017
You possibly could be picked up as a "Runaway Juvenile" in your new home, before you turn 18, BUT, a good lawyer there could probably prevent them returning you to your home. AND, considering everything, and you being almost 18, I seriously doubt if this would happen. Also, to return you,... View More

I'm really sorry there is a family problem here. I wish I knew more about what is going on here, like what is the gift, and why do they want it back. A general answer would be no, BUT a better answer would be that's in your best interest, in the long run, for you to let them gave it... View More
