As a practical matter you don't need a lawyer until the police or the school gets actively involved in the situation.
In the meantime, think of all the TV dramas you've seen where someone is warned "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used... View More
I don’t have a good relationship with my mom and we argue a lot and she had threatened to send me to Juve for being Rebellious can she really do that

If you commit crimes then yes your parents can report your criminal acts to the officials. However, just arguing is not going to be enough to send you to a juvenile facility. Try and calmly communicate with your parents how you are feeling without escalating the situation. Consider writing to them... View More

If the subpoena is truly frivolous you can file a motion to quash the subpoena and explain to the court why you think this is frivolous. Just because subpoena's are being issued doesn't mean that they will be served. In Oregon the party serving the Subpoena has to tender a check for a... View More

Not sure what you mean by "blast." It is illegal to libel or slander another person. On the other hand, it isn't generally illegal for a person to tell facts of a current event (i.e. the news reports a person was picked up on suspicion of drunk driving). Thus, depending on what... View More

If anyone were to face criminal charges (or contempt) in this situation it would most likely be your mom. If you come back to the States before your 18th birthday any adult you stay with could be charged with Harboring a Runaway Child.

Ohio does not allow for minors in your situation to live by themselves. Your parents have responsibility for you, and as a minor, you must follow their decisions. If there are problems at home, talk to a family member, teacher, school counselor, or other trusted adult who can give you advice.

Tell them no problem: you will call DCFS and have them picked up as runaways and put in either Florida Parishes or Foster Care. Then pick up drug tests at CVS or Walgreens and test both of them. Next, get them both into counseling. Lastly, notify the school counselor that they are both... View More

answered on Dec 22, 2019
You don't "press charges" you make a police report. They take it to the District Attorney who reviews the reports and decides what charges to file. Depending upon his prior record, if any, he will either get Home on Probation or Diversion. If this is not his first time, he may be... View More

Sometimes if you fire your public defender, then you either have to hire an attorney or proceed without counsel. You have a right to a public defender, but not to choose which public defender. If you plan to hire your own counsel, then the public defender would withdraw and your private attorney... View More

You need to see a lawyer immediately, do NOT answer any questions without speaking to and having a lawyer with you. If you or your parents/custodian cannot afford a lawyer have one assigned to you before you answer any questions or say anything.

Given we are talking about termination of rights for cause and not adoption, it is possible, but it does give the State the ability to take future children on a presumption of you are unfit. It is a more complex question than can be answered here...Boeheim Freeman Law 918-884-7791

The answer is it depends. Check the conditions of his probation, and if you are still unclear, contact his probation officer for clarity.
