What is fi?
Thank you for sharing, There is no question
I was issued warrant for FTA while in hospital.I have letter from Dr.stating when I was admitted & discharged
So hire an attorney so he/she can utilize the evidence
This happened in Colorado, I now live in Kansas. I've asked to have a friend come by and pick up the dress. She says she never had anything. Can I sue her for the amount of the dress or the dress back?
Such a case could be difficult without some form of proof. A judge/jury would look at your assertion and the other side's denial, and not have a means of deciding the matter without some evidence to support your position. Good luck

Are they... Read more »

Based on the information you provided, you should not be worrying about jail or having your children taken away.
It sounds like you will probably qualify for a court-appointed attorney (no cost to you). The attorney will get you through the process and help you resolve the situation.
You need to speak directly to the lawyer and he can explain what he meant to you
My husband has been in jail for 3 months but his attorney told him the da don’t have evidence can they still hold him in jail?
Didn't have enough evidence to convict him or didn't have any evidence?
My child was being sexually abused by another child.
