You have not identified the crime, however even if you had, the answer is going to be that it depends on what the evidence will show.
This weekend was his visitation and he decided to keep my daughters when we have a custody agreement in place, i was not notified of anything until i contacted him waiting for my daughters to show at the arranged spot and he waited 45 min or more to message me after i texted and sent message over...

It is not entirely clear what happened however if there is an issue of child abuse on your part there are situations where you could be prevented from contact with the children.
in 2002 i was charged in colorado for possession/knowledge of possession of explosives/incendiary device, but the definition section of that law discredits the materials my roommate had (materials used to reload ammunition, and or black powder muskets) my public defenders failed me and mislead me...

I feel there was no reasonable cause for an arrest to be made. The statements were false and I did not bother anyone in the building. The charges were dissmised in the interest of Justice. I am wondering if I have a potential case to sue for damages, economic losses, and non economic losses?
Potentially yes. These cases can be difficult. So you should consult with an attorney to discuss the facts, the law, your rights, remedies, potential outcomes, etc.
Deferred Judgments and Sentence agreements are for exact periods of time. They are like contracts - the length of which all parties must agree.

If the question is pursuant to Colorado law - the answer is yes. A 16 year old and a 19 year old can have consensual sex.

My brother is here from WV and we would all like him to go with him and I need to know how... Read more »
This is really more of a criminal law question and depends on the terms of the probation. Often a person can not leave the state while on probation. This is a question for the PO.
My son received a MIP offense for alcohol 2 weeks prior to his 21st Bday. He was inside his residence (rented condo). The police arrived because of a noise complaint. He has no prior offenses, clean driving record, etc. Due to appear in Superior CO court - what is the expected penalty for 1st... Read more »
The very likely offer would be a dismissal after he completed some condition (alcohol class, community service, etc.). If you don't receive that offer without an attorney, then you should consider hiring one, otherwise an attorney shouldn't be necessary.

With past charges of sex crimes against minors Does he have to notify the sex offender registry that there will be a minor in his home. Also they are getting ready to have a baby together is he...

That's more a question for a criminal law attorney. Sex offender registry requirements are not part of family law. But, any concerns you have about the safety of the child should be raised with DHS or his Probation officer if you can find that contact.
I happened to swerve my car so that I could avoid accident that I crossed the median and hit another oncoming car. I have been held liable and the police was told that I was driving on the wrong side of the road when this happened,which wasn't true. I am seeking legal advice
Hire a lawyer. I don’t practice criminal defense. But I have some experience in that area. You need to get a lawyer and quit posting about your case in public arenas, like this. If you cannot afford a lawyer, apply for a public defender. You need a lawyer asap.
Also curious as to if its legal for my attorney to speak with the da about things I said to him in confidence and reasons as to why my paid attorney would be working against me?
The answer to the first question depends on whether the old cases are relevant and admissible at trial. In most instances the hurdles to admitting that kind of evidence are insurmountable.
As for the second question - if you tell your lawyer something you want kept confidential that... Read more »
After seeing the footage of a lady in denver swerving to hit a protester, I wondered what kind of legal trouble that person could get into.

There's a "last clear chance" doctrine that says, basically, if you can avoid a crash or if you can avoid hitting the person, then it's illegal. The video you refer to involved a driver who appeared to purposely hit the person. If it can be proved in court that she did so on... Read more »
I am sorry to hear about your situation. If credit cards were procured under your name without your consent, that is a criminal matter.
Some fines are mandatory and cannot be waived, even if indigent. Best thing he can do is get on some sort of payment plan with the court.
Potentially. Criminal assault occurs when a person knowingly or recklessly causes bodily injury to another person. Bodily injury is defined as physical pain, illness, or any impairment of physical or mental condition. More likely though, this is a noise violation - either Disorderly Conduct... Read more »
Just recently, we have found out that this is still on his record. Is this correct, since he fulfilled all of his obligations at that time?? Can he get this erased, or shouldn't it have been taken care of 62 yrs. ago??
The short answer is: It depends. It depends on whether the "conviction" was permanent or some other type of plea (deferred, dismissed) and if he really was 18 or a juvenile under 18.
Also, it depends on the level of "conviction." In recent years, the laws have changed... Read more »
