The confession might be suppressed. You will need to hire an attorney to represent him and investigate the facts, then see if the case can be dismissed, or work out an acceptable arrangement with the State.

Right? The son has the right to be represented, and you can assist the attorney.You do not have the rights we are concerned about in a criminal or juvenile case.

Probably not. Not in Florida.

Do you really want this to happen? I suppose it is possible, but highly unlikely.

In order for us to answer this question, you are going to have to tell us who and why, the basic circumstances, and whether there are any court orders allowing the removal.

Probably not, but it depends upon whether the school in VA will require a court order. If so, you could file a petition for temporary custody by extended family and get a court order that the uncle has temporary custody. The filing fee is $400, and a reasonable attorneys fee in my area would be... View More

Yes, you should. The point is that the other party must know what your financial circumstances are. Without a financial affidavit, sworn to by you, one can argue that there is no real meeting of the minds because the financial circumstances of each party are not known by the other.

We do not bring children to court in divorce cases, it is prohibited. Victims of sexual abuse can only be questioned a very few times. Unwilling or reluctant witness can be foreced to testify under threat of contempt.

The age to be able to distinguish right from wrong at common law was 7. It is very rare that a child less than 7 would be criminally prosecuted. And even then it depends on the facts and circumstances of each and every case. Indeed, a strong argument can be made that a 10 year old cannot be... View More

You could be charged with a misdemeanor of giving false information to a police officer. When cops stop you for any reason you should give your correct name, address, height, weight, and personal information like that. Nothing more.

Hopefully, you have found some. I could do some research on this, but it is probably too late. The cases would only be appellate cases where one side would be seeking reversal of what the trial court ruled.

Civil cases are public record and are not sealed. Certain Criminal cases can be sealed and expunged if adjudication was withheld. You can only get one expungement in your life.

If it was a juvenile case then those records are not public and you will not be able to see the court file.

If it is an adult case, then go to the clerk of courts office and ask to view the file.

There is a difference between sealing and expunging. You seal a case that you either pled guilty or no contest to and received a withholding of adjudication. You expunge an arrest that was subsequently not filed, dismissed, or you were found not guilty of. Either way, the case should not show up on... View More

You would need some sort of grounds to vacate the conviction. For instance, if you were not properly advised of the immigration consequences of a plea, or the judge did not perform a full and proper plea colloquy. Consult a local attorney to see if you have grounds. Be aware though that if the plea... View More
