All depends on who is doing the searching. There are a lot of different "background searches" available on the market, and they each have different parameters.
The better questions are what is the search for and what form of search is being conducted.
My husband and I are looking to get divorced. I am being told that I am kicked out of the house I have been in with him for 8 years now and that he is not allowing me to take our son. My husband is a very bad person who has been in trouble with the law his entire life. He is an addict meth. He has... Read more »
I am so sorry to hear about your struggle, and luckily the pathway has an easy first step. Rather than a Criminal Defense lawyer you need to make an appointment with a qualified Family Lawyer to start the separation/divorce process. There are tools in that process to specifically address the... Read more »
My spouse and I got into an altercation that we involved the cops to mediate but turned into me being arrested as the aggressor. I was bonded out and told to make no contact with the victim i.e. my spouse I was also told by a couple cops that I could have my spouse overturn the no contact order by... Read more »
You need to be open and honest with your attorney, as the medication issue is HUGE when it comes to mitigation. Your Spouse can also use that information to press the State to treat you properly as much as she does not control whether the state presses charges or not. She may also be able to use... Read more »
The special Conditions of Bond flow against an arrestee when a crime has allegedly been committed. They exist during the pre-disposition portion of the case and if they are violated there are special charges that can apply.
A TPO is when a petitioner has asked the court to provide a layer... Read more »
Generally the court will allow continued attempts at service until the ex parte expires. It may be a good idea to pay a skip tracer to serve the person if the sheriff is running into issues.
I am sorry, but it appears some of your question was cut off. Please resubmit.
If you can make your case - which you should be able to if the other side does not show up - you will get the one year TPO.
I broke the windshield of my exs car from the inside, I had my feet up on dash and was in pain due to a tooth infection, we were sitting in front of an urgent care. She was yelling in my ear and out of frustration and desperation I kicked the windshield without thought I had no intention of... Read more »
Good news is that if the putative vicim is cooperative and the restitution has been made, I bet most prosecutors will work this out. As long as you follow the rules of bond you should be in good shape. Dont hesitate to ask for the public defender if you want some guidance, as the State may be... Read more »
They kept her in room without lunch all day instead of going to class
There should be some sort of written reason offered by the school. You need to schedule a meeting with the administration and get to the bottom of the disparate treatment.
If the person has a clean record, generally a couple thousand. The Special Conditions are what really matter though, as courts generally default to the most "safe" option of "No Further Contact" with the putative victim. That is where the big problems start as it creates a... Read more »
I have a temporary restraining order for now but no one seen any video or heard the audio so when we go to court I'm gonna have them for the judge to see would the judge be able to then press charges because at the time of the incident no police were called.
The best thing to do in this position is to have the hearing (if an option, have a stenographer take down the transcript) and then you take the results of the hearing to the police and ask them to press charges. While SOME judges will direct refer from a TPO/TRO, most want the petitioner to handle... Read more »
It was labeled domestic violence just for trespassing back in 1998 or 1997
You need to address the underlying conviction and have it changed. The good thing is that this problem is common enough that it is often pretty easy, but it all depends on the facts and the position of the State since it is a consensual change in your record and it is easiest with the State's...

He is a convicted felon. He has a prior conviction of battery or domestic violence. What should I expect? He is in custody in Alpharetta, GA.
Big time gonna need a lawyer. Is he still in the Alpharetta annex or did they transfer him to the Rice Street Jail? He is going to likely get a bond but the Poss of Firearm by Conv Felon is arguably worse than the new Terroristic Threats. Much stiffer penalty.

I had a 9 month relationship with a woman who is engaged to be married. Out of nowhere she broke it off, changed her number and blocked me. I sent a ridiculous amount of emails to try and get her to respond. Cusses her out, threatened to tell her boss she uses illicit drugs in which she does. In an... Read more »
You don't appear to have a basis for filing one. She hasn't harassed you. If you want closure, just don't have any contact with her.
My adult child is suffering from the parental alienation at the hands of he and Third party alienators. I am mother.
No. I am unaware of a cause of action that would allow you to sue for this.
After he asked judge for continuance he asked if the judge could order us to go to counseling? Why would he do all this if he wanted to go to counseling? I've been through and completed counseling/therapy several times and it is not just me that is the problem no matter how many times they... Read more »
I’d be happy to answer your question, but I’m not sure what it is. Maybe you would benefit from re-writing it and being more specific to what your question is.
He said he wanted to continue it and then asked the judge if he could order us all to go to counseling? I wouldn't have a problem with it at all but the TPO would still stay and I wouldn't get to go to work & coach my girls? I work 4 my dad for 31 yrs! I feel like this was done to get... Read more »
You need to speak to an attorney to get specific advice about a case in progress. This forum is best for general questions.
I have been calling to get advice and to get representation from a lawyer and no one is available with this short of time? I work with my dad coaching gymnastics and haven't been able to coach my kids since the 3rd of May? My Team parents have been calling and texting as well as the kids and I... Read more »
This has probably passed since it’s the date in question, but you could seek a continuance. Consult with an attorney who can help you with the case going forward.
