So, my current husband is abusive emotionally and just now physically. I own a llc, just started it. My question is: if I get a divorce, is there anyway I can protect my business from him getting anything from it? He goes from job to job a lot. Thank you
*EDIT* so all the funds that went... Read more »
Your question is almost impossible to answer without knowing more facts. For example, how much marital money went into funding the business? Does the business have a value? Is the business totally reliant upon you? In other words, if you stopped working at it, would the business collapse? There are... Read more »
I have screen shots from Facebook of our conversations and when I told her I am done with the relationship and I am applying for college she got angry and is now trying to put a restraining order on me. My court date is the 28 of this month.
Yes. You need an attorney to represent you in court.
This is no joke. An order of protection can have serious consequences when it comes to your future.
Get one with experience defending against these orders right away.
Yes. He should have a lawyer who can explain all the consequences to him of either fighting the request for what I assume is a domestic violence order of protection or not contesting it.
There isn't enough information to answer your question about whether he should contest it. He... Read more »
Can a plaintiff use a video that skips and lapse in time for evidence in their case or can I motion to exclude it from being seen?
If so, under what grounds can I motion?
Video goes up to minute 2 then skips to 2:30 to 3:15 then skips to 4:05, lot of the video seem altered.
You could do a motion in limine asking to bar the video due to lack of foundation. If it’s edited in some way, it has been altered and wouldn’t meet foundational requirements to be admissible evidence.
Probably a good issue to have a lawyer handle. Each county is different and has... Read more »
Prosecutor is in a more serious(felony) case vs a family court case. Is there any precedent notably in illinois that a Judge can suspend the lesser case until the more serious case is completed?
Yes, a judge can do this.
I didn't show up for the calendar date and it's a 6 year old warrant
Every case is different. It is essential that you retain an attorney.
My lawyer is asked by the judge to submit extensions for my spouse's order of protection because they don't have an attorney. Isn't this a conflict of interest for me, and can't I just have my attorney not do it?
There is no conflict of interest. Your lawyer could hardly say no to the judge under these circumstances. It's a mere courtesy to the court.
So my boyfriend is bipolar and can become manic. He ended up assaulting me pretty bad.

They pressured me to make report which I did but I thought I could drop the... Read more »

Should I be concerned about them taking my children and how do I prepare for this transition?
Yes. You should be concerned.
DCFS and the local State's Attorney's Office in the County where you live could conclude that you placed your children at risk of harm and screen the case into juvenile court for a judge to make that determination.
There, you'll need a... Read more »
We got photos together since it happened which is 6 months ago in June. She say she not coming but it’s state vs me
You need a Criminal Defense Attorney if you have not hired one already. The State can force her to appear in court and if she fails to appear in court, the can ask the Judge to issue a warrant for her arrest. You need an attorney now.

The case is being prosecuted by the People of the State of Illinois. You will need to retain an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights .

What? Not really sure what you are asking here. There are a few types of Orders of Protections. If it is not a complete stay away OP, the parties can typically speak to each other.
My son's father abused me for 3 years I finally got away from him so He filed a Order of Protection making false claims that I physically abused our son. He did not disclose in the petition that I have had a OP on him for my kids and myself. Or that he was arrested and charged with aggravated... Read more »

My parents have been known to be very toxic and verbally abusive and since I am renting from them with a verbal rental... Read more »
Not sure what you mean by "what i can do." You can always move out. If your parents wish to evict you, they will have to file it with the Court in the county where you live and deal with it in court in order to remove you. Not sure you or your parents want it to get to this level.
She cheated on me I confronted her and she got mad and got my face and we started fighting but while physically fighting her phone was in her pocket and got broke she wants to take me to court and I’m wondering what’s the worst could happen
Well you are a juvenile, so they can put you on supervised probation and probably make you pay for the phone. Or, if you’re lucky they may just put you on a consent decree and not adjudicate you delinquent. Good luck!
Husband and I were fighting after drinking heavily. No arrest were made and neith of us pressed charges
Once the police have been called it is out of your hands. If someone has been charged with a criminal offense, they need to hire a criminal defense attorney right away. The sooner an attorney is hired, the better.
