He actually is entitled to see the child(ren) but in this case it should be at a visitation center only. You should hire a lawyer to represent you in the case.

Although the battery charge was dismissed (because, upon further information it appeared that you were not guilty), there was still, at the moment you were pulled over, probable cause to suspect that a battery had been committed. Thus, no; you were properly convicted of driving with a suspended... View More

Unless they have some type of warrant or court order then you are not under any duty to comply. You should hire a lawyer to represent you in the case.
how do I present it(DVD, Iphone, android device?)?
answered on Sep 21, 2016
Call the judge's judicial assistant (secretary) and ask what format the judge prefers.
I have had an Injunction in place since 2015. If I do get child support will the father get rights to see the child? He has violated it in 2015 and the judge put it in place for "Further order of the court".

Yes you are entitled to child support. You should hire a lawyer to represent you in the case.

Up to a judge, but would be highly unlikely with a history of violence over the current guardian

Are you asking about truancy laws or are you asking about probation?
Truancy: no.
Probation: maybe, depending on the terms of probation.

From the title, I assume it's an order signed by a judge setting a hearing on a domestic violence hearing. It is before a judge (as apposed to a standing magistrate, I guess). What part don't you understand?
Someone filled injunction papers out, this is what was on the public records page. How do I know the date? How can I find out information about this?

It means that someone asked for a temporary injunction, but the judge said "no, not yet", and instead set it for a hearing.

Can you be more specific? If one of you wants a divorce, you file for one. If there are children, or if there is property involved, those issues would be addressed.

Best way to get an injunction is to hire an attorney. It's too complex a process to describe here, and it will depend upon a lot of details you have not provided. Or you might want to ask the clerk of court if "do it yourself" forms, for a restraining order are available.

You can consider filing an injunction against this woman. There are certain requirements to meet and prove for the injunction to work. I suggest that you contact a civil, family law, or criminal defense attorney to discuss further. Good luck.

There are not enough facts given here for a full answer. Is the victim trying to contact the defendant? Probably not.
He has been locked up since April & the court is constantly sending me papers about pre-trials, when will it end?

You can call the victim advocate at the local state attorney's office and discuss this.
