Hi,
I am not a family law attorney, but as I understand it, as long as your parental rights have not been terminated, your custodial rights should trump anyone else's except for maybe the father.
So if you just picked him up and took him home, it would be in within your rights. I... Read more »
Q: Don't you have to be a felon to be a restricted person? Or have mental illness? Or have some conviction for violence?
You could additionally post this in the Criminal Law section. Criminal law attorneys would be able to provide more meaningful input on the issues mentioned here than personal injury attorneys would.

You need to consult directly with an attorney. Your facts are not sufficient to understand what occurred. Moreover, you have one long run-on sentence so it is virtually impossible to parse
Q: Can i get pulled over in McDonald's parking lot when the officer never got behind me until the drive tru
And i didn't give him no reason to pull me over or to search my car
I believe your only asking the question because you received a ticket for something. Why did the officer give you a ticket?

Q: If no custody order is in place can my ex keep my son from me . can I go get him with a police officer
This issue needs a local lawyer to assist you. Plus, reading this question, the first thing that comes to an attorney's mind is, "What did you OMIT from this question?"
The fact that she is "keeping" your son from you raises a red flag.
Have you legitimized the child?
Have... Read more »

If you feel you are bein stalked you need to report it to the police. If you have been threatened you also need to report that to the police. I have no idea what you are saying about Sharia law. This is Utah. It is Mormon law here.
Q: Can discrediting evidence be presented in court after the court has acknowledged that a defendants attny didn't show up

You need to contact a civil law attorney. You haven't been charged with a crime so it isn't criminal law, and the government is not involved so it isn't civil rights.

Probable cause can be challenged. You need to contact an experience criminal defense attorney to assist you.
