I’m not aware of a law that prohibits a divorced parent to move out of state. However most parenting plans contain a provision that requires parents to notify each other in advance when they are moving.
My 4 yr old grandson was placed in my custody after his mother was charged with child endangerment after the child wandered alone into the store next to their home.

This is the functional equivalent of asking us to teach you how to rebuild your car's transmission if you aren't a mechanic. There is simply too much information to covey in a forum like this. Your best bet is to consult with a local attorney. That said, in essence a 50 (c) usually... View More

No. If you do not have a felony conviction, then you cannot be arrested for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Legally, you are required to live wherever your parents say. No court order means nothing enforceable typically. Your parents can choose to give guardianship or to take it away. Anyone who harbors you can be charged with harboring a runaway.
She introduced cocaine and bars to juvenile. They keep giving her probation but at home she caused more havoc as much as selling weed out of our own house. My husband and I care for our grandchild. We need lawful intervention. Wat can be done?

Consult with a local Family Law attorney who has experience in the area of child custody and grandparent's rights.

Yes. The child would have an attorney, and would be entering a plea with that person's advice, not a parent's. At times, when a judge believes a parent may be acting against a child's best interest, a GAL could be assigned to the case as well.
I signed legal temporary guardianship to my mother of my son. The state of Nebraska remove custody from me and placed it with the state even though there was a temporary guardianship in place with someone else after time? Is that legal?
answered on Oct 27, 2020
If the State has grounds to remove a child, the State generally gets a say in the placement of the child. This is true even if a parent signs a temporary delegation to someone else in the same time period. If there is an actual court order of guardianship, then this is different. Then generally...

You should have a lawyer represent you to help get it dismissed. Driving school goes both ways. Some judges get mad if you do it before and some don't want the reason as voluntary. A lawyer who goes to that particular court will know the local rules. A good lawyer will know there is a... View More

If you move out before the age of 18 without an order from the court that you are emancipated, your parents can have you declared an undisciplined or runaway juvenile and have you returned to the home by law enforcement. Or they can do nothing but since you're not 18, you can't get a job... View More

You could file proceedings to become an "emancipated minor" which will probably drag on until after you reach 18.

You are are minor until age 18.
My parents will not let me leave. I live in NC, I am 16 with a job. I have a place to go. I have read that I need to be moved out and have lived in that location for a certain period of time before being emancipated, is this true?

Technically no. Although it helps. Here's an article that I wrote with all the details. https://averettfamilylaw.com/?s=Emancipation
I traveled to the last court date from Oklahoma and was told that I could take my son home with me. They closed the case, and at the bottom of the court order, it is written, “All custodial rights of the minor are vested to (my name).” Does this mean that I now have full or sole custody of my...

It sounds like you have sole custody of your son. You should see an attorney licensed to practice law in Oklahoma to figure out what your next step is in that state.

I AM NOT A FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY. HOWEVER, FROM A CRIMINAL STANDPOINT A LAWYER WOULD WANT TO ORDER A COPY OF THE PROCEEDINGS LAST YEAR.

You and your son may want to consider consulting with an attorney. The default rule in TN is that a child born out of wedlock belongs to the Mother until the Father or other relative petitions the Court for Paternity/custody. TN courts have a fifteen factor best interest of the child analysis that... View More
My mom has been very neglectful towards me and not my sisters so I'm wondering if my grandmother on my dad's side of the family can get custody of me in court

You are a minor. Yes your grandmother can seek custody of you.
I picked up a felony drug charge last August and were convicted in late February this year. I also note that the juvenile court case originated, in part, on drug use. I also see a warrant in 2020 to search electronic devices for pornography possibly related to my daughters. I will tell you that... View More

You shouldn't post such specific info on a general posting board like this. You should take your question down and contact an attorney that practices in Scotts Bluff County regularly.

The age of consent, at the time applying only when the girl is the younger party, was 10 when California introduced its Penal Code in 1850. In 1889 the age of consent was raised to 14. In 1897 the age of consent became 16. The age of consent in California has been 18 since 1913. Some media sources... View More
