You need to file something with the court asking for what you want. If you want to increase child support or reduce timesharing then it is a modification. If you want to enforce something then it is a motion for enforcement.

My lawyer thinks the judge will dismiss the case. My question is if I’m found not guilty, and I am, would the injunction be lifted automatically even though a different judge ordered it. Or would I have to go in front of that judge and ask if he would lift it?
answered on Aug 18, 2020
Those probably would be two different things: contempt of court for allegedly violating the injunction, and whether the injunction should continue. But ask your attorney to be sure.

Yes, the judge can talk to the jury without wearing the robe. The robe is just cosmetic.
I am being accused of harassment and can proof I have never harrassed the person. What should I do? If I fight in court how will it go if I proof I'm innocent? I know the other person has no proof it is me harassing them. But if I don't take the papers will it get defaulted automatically?
answered on Jul 27, 2020
No, you don't get defaulted unless you have been served with process.
I was arrested for Public intoxication, resisting arrest and Domestic Violence which none of this happened. There are witnesses that to this, that could testify that this didn't happen but the DA is still trying to prosecute the incident.

You should retain an experienced criminal defense attorney ASAP. It could surprise you that the innocent need at least the same level of defense as the guilt.
I'm 19, him and his girlfriend have been living here for 5 years and have a 3 year old son together. I don't want to kick her out but she says she is eventually leaving and I don't want my dad to lose his home.
answered on Jun 26, 2020
Sorry, but I have no idea how you figure that all of this will result in your father loosing his home.
Also victim stated she was intoxicated at time her statement was recorded isn't that inadmissible. Also there is a drug possession charge but no FDLE report so it's my understanding that a possession conviction can not be obtained.

Regarding the "contract" you made with your mother, it's not a valid, enforceable contract (even had you signed a proper signature). Minors do not have the legal capacity to enter into contracts, and even if you were an adult, the contract would not be valid for other reasons.... View More

Defend yourself against what? You said the officers left without arresting you, and I assume you mean they also did not give you any notice to appear in court. Also, from your description, it does not sound like the type of police case where they will be in on-going investigation to determine if... View More

I expect that you can get a court order requiring them to vacate the house. And I doubt that the letter will hold up.
Husband kept cetficate and flushed down toilet just spoke with her yesterday no record Are we legally married or not
answered on Apr 7, 2020
Yes, you probably are legally married. In what state were you married; Florida doesn't have justices of the peace. If it was in another state, a document should have been recorded (perhaps with a clerk of court) there. Check with the appropriate agency in that other state.

No, you can't "change jurisdiction". The Uniform Child Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act, which has been adopted by both states, would require that jurisdiction remain with the West Virginia court.

I am not sure what your question is. If I understand your ramblings, you should contact Local Law Enforcement and report the allegations that you have concerning this lawyer or anyone who is engaging in the type of conduct that you are suggesting.

Provided the message was not a string of repeated contacts, I wouldn’t think one message classified as stalking or harassment. Good that you blocked him. Stay off IG if you can’t resist the urge to look at his profile.
I was able to view the record last year on my county public records search, but now the record is no longer there when I search the name

The issue is whether you get a withhold of adjudication and whether you have any other history...whether you plead no contest or plead guilty is irrelevant
I have a domestic battery charge against my sister who i live with with my son. I am not able to return home because of the no contact order with my sister. My son is still staying in the house so he can make it to school. I am in dade city fl which is pasco county.
answered on Feb 29, 2020
Request your lawyer to file a motion to permit non-violent contact with your sister, who I am assuming is the alleged victim. Your sister should appear for the hearing. It will be up to the judge to determine whether to grant the motion.
