If client has repeatedly requested invoice and such was not provided until after the attorney received the clients settlement funds.
If I am understanding the question correctly, and please correct me if I'm wrong because this is based on a fair number of assumptions, 1) you hired an attorney for a divorce 2) you agreed to compensate said attorney at an hourly rate (contingency fees on divorce cases is barred by the Alabama...

My daughter’s father and I have joint custody. He lives in another state. He has not contacted my daughter in 4 months. Before that it was 2 months. He has never paid his court appointed child support. He has not followed anything from the divorce papers that pertains to my daughter. My question... Read more »
If he has gone for more than four months without providing any emotion, physical, financial or other support and has no contact with the child for that period you can file a petition to terminate his rights. You have the burden of proving that he has in fact abandoned the child within the meaning... Read more »
What is my cousin are both on the lease she does not like my boyfriend that's why the landlord is saying that but her boyfriend is allowed there. My boyfriend has broken no rules or laws on the property
No they may not prevent him from coming in the property. However if he spends the night he could possibly evict since he’s not on the lease.
I assume you are asking about an Alabama matter. You execute a sworn to affidavit when you put down how much work related daycare is being paid. This is widely abused, with made up numbers provided by day care workers who are actually family members and a host of other problems. If you are paying... Read more »
By co-owner I am making the assumption that the account was held by two people as joint tenants with a right of survivorship. You must confirm that with the bank. If one person dies, then the money -- at law -- is the property of the other at the moment of death. I don't see from your question what... Read more »
But wouldn't have done it if he wasn't in a active addiction and has been wanting to go in to a long term rehabilitation Facility 9 months to 1 year
Then, based on their history, there may be diversion programs available that would allow them to complete cases to have the case dismissed, but you should contact and hire a criminal lawyer immediately
What are my rights in a divorce settlement? He is a retired military also. There are no children. Thanks.
If the property was used for the common benefit of the parties during the marriage you have a right to that property as divisible marital property. If he inherited it and you never used it as a married couple, it is not part of the marital property. If he inherited it and you did use it for the... Read more »
He has a violent history and I think he has no business having any part of our son's life. He has three different PFAs against him by three different women, he has 6 different Violation of Domestic Injunction charges, and 4 Domestic Battery charges. Is there anything I can do about this? Do I have... Read more »
It would be difficult. You don't say how long ago you went to Court. You also don't say what you did to learn of his past. If you could have learned about this stuff (if only you'd looked) you can't go back to Court and say I didn't know. It is critical to know how long ago this was. If he... Read more »
My divorce states that my ex is to pay me $600/month for 12 months after the date the agreement is signed. But I am now pregnant, not by him of course. Can my pregnancy cause for the alimony to be stopped or does he still have to pay. No special wording on divorce agreement paperwork just that he... Read more »
I think at worst your agreement is unclear and subject to two meanings. Alimony that is set out with a definite time limit is usually specifically called "alimony in gross" in the agreement. To call the alimony "periodic alimony" which is ended by co-habitation (but not by simple conception of a... Read more »
6-06-18 was the date. A warrant was issued after that and she has been in jail since January 28, also doesn't owe restitution or fines
That’s far outside the scope of any help that can be provided on a forum like this. A criminal lawyer can help you unmuddy those waters.
Generally, it seems like there is some other charge holding him.
home. My step son was here but does not live here. When they finally showed us the warrent The search warrant was for his address and the description of the trailer was not my trailer, but they searched my house and seized all my firearms. (I got those back 3 months later.) When they were told they... Read more »
If the warrant was for another house, then the evidence may be able to be suppressed. You need to hire a lawyer for your case quickly.
During the COVID 19 outbreak my older sister and I have kept our parents isolated in their home, taking them things as they need and interacting with them from a distance. I called my mom Friday to see what she was doing, and my younger sister, who has been going to work everyday, blew our... Read more »
This is more of an Elder Law question than Criminal Law. However, you may be able to get an Protection Order in those circumstances, but I’d need to know more about your Mom’s condition.
My husband died, how will i keep getting child support
Hello. Some people use a life insurance policy to fulfill financial obligations. You can attempt to sue his estate as a creditor, if an estate has been opened. Or, try to get SSI benefits on behalf of your child. Sorry for your loss and best of luck.
She has requested to live with me instead. She feels uncomfortable with mom's new boyfriend and they just got engaged.

To state the obvious, you need to call an attorney. A lawyer can often get a warrant withdrawn and allow the defendant to appear and post a bond. Get a lawyer who does juvenile dependency in Mobile County, or criminal defense. We do both and you can contact us if you like.
The child will be turning 16 in June. She is my granddaughter from my deceased son. Her mother is deceased as well, Feb. 5, 2014 and my son Nov.21, same year. The relatives on her mothers side is putting ideas in her head that she does not have to live with me when she turns 16. The child feels... Read more »
In a word, no. You have custody until she is 19 years old. If they keep the child from you they are committing custodial interference. Tell them send the child back to you.
Father has never helped or tried to meet son.His name isnt on birth certificate.I gave birth in TN but have been living in Ala. Trying to figure out how to get paternity testing or acknowledgment of paternity form and in which state should i file?
Alabama, the home state of the child. I would say you should consider terminating any right that he has. Get rid of this guy once and for all.
He was ordered to pay child support back in October, but has only paid one month so far. He keeps giving the court the wrong names of his employers on purpose to avoid payroll withholding. He only makes token attempts to talk to our son for only two minutes at a time every night. He calls at the... Read more »
You can go back to Court and ask for your support. If he is a danger to the child, you must show that to the Court.
This statute deals only with the notice requirement to perfect a demand to return. I think you are asking if there is a statute of limitation on theft. That would depend on the value of the items. Try your questions again and give some facts so someone can answer.
It's for support for me, not child support. I became pregnant after divorce by current boyfriend. He doesn't know that I'm pregnant yet but was late with the 1st payment for Feb and hasn't paid anything for March yet. Can he ask to stop paying support due to my pregnancy when he finds out, although... Read more »
The question will turn on the language in the order or agreement. This sounds like alimony in gross in the nature of a property settlement which is not effected by your cohabitation or remarriage. Read the order carefully. It does not matter who he is shacked up with. If -- on the other hand -- it... Read more »
