Cops got called to a domestic fight and found out that a small child lived in the home. Th cops arrested the dad and told the mom that they had to get DHS involved.
You could be looking at the possibility of DHS filing a deprived petition and your children being placed in DHS custody. You better go at least talk to a lawyer that handles these types of cases to discuss the details.
A criminal case may be dismissed at any time. Normally, they won't file to just turn around and dismiss. The overnight incarceration doesn't normally have anything to do with the dismissal. There seems to be more to this question. If you would like to discuss it further, please feel free to... Read more »

Plaintiff wants to sit down and talk to lawyers instead of going back to court but using this article to prevent pick up from defendant. Can it be legally used even with no evidence of abuse?
I'm not sure what article you're referring to or what Court Order is being "re-done" based upon the information you provided. It is hard to answer your question specifically with this info. However, I would always suggest that you never agree to anything, or sign anything without have a lawyer... Read more »
I gave a statement and I lied on it so he would be taken to jail because I didnt think about him but I was mad and lied so he would have to go to jail
It's difficult to have a domestic violence matter simply dropped. For a whole host of public interest reasons, most Prosecutors want these cases dealt with in court and in front of a Judge. But, if you had lied there may be grounds upon which to have the matter withdrawn, BUT you are exposing... Read more »

What you need to do depends on the type and level of harassment and threats. They may rise to the level of needing an Order of Protection against him. If nothing else, the evidence of harassment and threats may be used in your custody case against him; it doesn't sound like joint custody is going... Read more »

He's at the VA hospital in Leavenworth,Kansas for the next four months. He told me that just because he's gone that the woman that runs the program and the compliance officer could still come do a home visit/search while he's gone. Wouldn't that be harassment since he's not here?
Can who do a home visit? and for what purpose?
Succinctly... yes

My husband has a 7 year deferred sentence. He has done one year so far. He has all his fees paid off and only has 3 more classes left that we're court ordered. I was just wondering if it was possible to get his sentence reduced anytime.
There is a method of reviewing his sentence but can only be accomplished with the consent of the District Attorney at this point. It would take hiring a good criminal defense attorney who could possibly get the DA to agree. At that point the attorney could file the paperwork to get the case back in... Read more »
