If necessary you will need to file an Action in General Sessions against the State. It is basically a Declaratory Judgment Action pursuant to Statute, and I believe you will need a competent attorney. This will need to be filed very soon.
It means they are putting the court and all parties on notice of an amendment to something such as the charging information or some other document.
Yes, she can be interviewed about what she saw even if she is too young to testify in court. Talk to your criminal defense attorney.
Boyfriend and I had an argument it became physical and my friend called police they made me write a statement and say I wanted to press charges... He sees judge in morning I want to recant but how do I do this?
Contact the District Attorney's office in the county where the case in question is pending and ask about filing an affidavit of non-prosecution. Clearing your warrant before you meet with the DA would be a good idea as well. Good luck.
I have a warrant they didn't take me as long as I made a statement and said I would press charges now I regret it and want my bf home he has court in the morning and they filed a 30 day no contact order what do I do?
You may make any statement you desire; what the State does in response to any such statement is another matter. You cannot force dismissal of criminal charges or removal of a protective order. Talking with an attorney would help. Good luck

Once the police have been called it is out of your hands. If someone has been charged with a criminal offense, they need to hire a criminal defense attorney right away. The sooner an attorney is hired, the better.

I applaud your wanting to do it correctly. Look at Lexis or Westlaw to find Indiana cases that follow Miranda. Why isn't the prosecuting attorney giving you direction? Also, you should ask the attorney for the department, ie City or County Attorney. Does the department have an SOP?
i have no $ because it goes to child support
You can file an action for allocation of parental responsibilities assuming the child lives in Colorado. Other states may have different name for a similar custody case. The court will establish a parenting time schedule for you. You should get a lawyer for this.
