By "local" do you mean one at your location in Florida? It is doubtful that you will be able to find a Florida attorney licensed to practice law in North Dakota. It would be better to find an attorney in North Dakota.

Yes. The relevant statute of limitations is what is important.

A 16 year is called (A) to the office in the presence of a police officer and questioned but the student says he does not want to discuss the matter until his parent is called; the police want to search the student for a vape-based on a rumor from another student (B) and (A), who has no prior...

Great question, but the answer is a bit complex. The complexity comes in the form of an overriding issue of safety of the other students. Now, considering the accusation is only of a vaping product, they are standing on thin ice with the argument of public safety. Asking for the parent to be... View More

A North Carolina attorney familiar with education law, or an educational administrator could probably tell you. But your question remains open for three weeks. Don't drop out. You don't need an attorney to tell you that. Finish school and get a diploma, or things are so bad at your... View More

They both could be charged in juvenile court. However, it is probably best settled between the parties and parents if possible.

Since you are asking the question, no, you should not. A minor has to be aged 17 to consent to any touching behavior.

Are you changing venue as in moving from one county in Va. to another county? Or, are you changing to a new state?
If moving county to county, then Va. Code § 16.1-243(B) applies. "2. Custody and visitation: In custody and visitation cases, if venue lies in one of several cities or... View More

As a biological parent, you have a paramount right to the physical custody of your children, unless those rights have been terminated or you have been found to be unfit. I suggest you retrieve your child immediately to avoid arguments that you have abandoned the child or abbrogated your rights,... View More
He’s a good kid and doesn’t deserve the crap life he’s been dealt. I live in NC and want to take care of him. If it’s kept very under wraps, could we get away with it? I’m scared if she doesn’t seriously hurt him, he will hurt himself.
answered on Oct 24, 2019
first, any legal action will need to be done in PA as that is where he lives. You can make a report to child protective services but it sounds like that has not effected the desired outcome.
He potentially can file to become an emancipated minor which if granted would allow him to decide... View More

Your aunt has legal custody, so she is legally obligated to provide proper care for you. She can't just pass that off to your grandmother. Your aunt can get in trouble for not providing for you. And if you go live somewhere else, both you and the person you move in with can get in trouble.... View More

Ohio law says you are the victim of criminal sexual abuse, whether you agree with that or not. A crime has been committed. You were under the age of consent. The prosecutor is not likely to drop it even if you do get married. The father's abuse can be proven by DNA testing. And it is a... View More

Guardianship since 2012. . Grandma is not opposed. Say I just need to draft and file proper paperwork. I'm in Arkansas and not sure what to file
answered on Oct 19, 2019
If the guardianship is here in Arkansas, and if you are a parent of the child, you would need to file a petition to terminate the guardianship. If you need assistance or have further questions, feel free to contact me.
Parents of his friends buy his hygiene n supply still receive cash for him but he is hopeless this can't be right

His status as an adopted child is irrelevant to any part of your question. The impediment to his legal right to sue is his age. He will need a guardian ad litem to sue on his behalf. That being said, it is completely unclear what it is you think would be the basis for a lawsuit.
Can the parents do something in response such as filing a sort of report and getting the child in trouble or sent to court as unruly?
answered on Oct 16, 2019
Yes, the parents can take action, and the child could go to juvenile detention. Children cannot come and go as they please. If there are problems at home, the child should talk to a family member, teacher, school counselor, or other trusted adult.
I’m 17 my boyfriend is also 17, we turn 18 pretty soon. His probation officer told him were not to have any contact but never filed a no contact order or anything of the sort. Would I be able to see him after we turn 18?
answered on Oct 14, 2019
Wait until he is off probation. It has more to do with his probation than age. Even when he turns 18 if there is a probation order in effect he can get in trouble.
