Depends on what you say and how you say it as it could under certain circumstances be a crime.
My children have no charges against them yet since they were involved in scuffle at school due to racism they are being told they have to get fingerprinted. Along with their info being transferred to the main county .

You cannot represent your child in a legal proceeding before a Court unless you are a licensed attorney. If this is a school situation and proceeding, however, you would have to research the rules and regulations of that school district to see what a parent can and cannot do in such proceeding....

When i turn 18 my boyfriend will be 15 but will turn 16 withen the next 6 months. We are 2 years, 6 months, 7 days apart.
They keep pushing the idea of me getting a G.E.D, which isn't fair to me at all because this is my life not their's. Their poor excuse is that I was messing up at my previous school, but I started to get it together right before I moved to where I am now which was the middle of the year.... View More

I admire you for your drive and ambition. I would tell them flat-out that you want to stay and school and finish. Make a deal with them that you can stay in school as long as you continue to make good grades and stay out of trouble. Good luck!

Can he do it? Probably, though it seems odd to do so after 7 months unless something happened more recently. If you don't have a lawyer yet, it's time to get one as soon as possible.
Is that legal? It was false allegations n I took drug test n case was immed.closed!

You should immediately contact an attorney to discuss your options. An interpleader action or motion for temporary custody may be able to be filed for placement in your home.

Is this true I will be taking my records and will disposition with me just in case but should I mention it to my interviewer I’m not hiding anything but was wondering if my juvenile record could get me denial

You should consult with a competent immigration attorney who can evaluate your juvenile court records to make sure that they do not raise any problems. Without seeing the documents in question, it is impossible to say whether or not they will pose a problem for you.

Ohio does not permit emancipation in that circumstance. Here is more information:

For a mock trial in high school class, we represent the teacher who searched the bag and several other random student's bags. We believe there was reasonable cause.

There is no criminal offense that is strict liability in Kentucky. You have to have known marijuana was on you and in school. I don't think it is enough to say, "yea, its mine. But, I swear I left it at home with my bong and album cover I use to de-stem my stash."

I got punched in the face 5 times by my boyfriend's sister. She is 16 years old. I am 33 years old. I am in and out of the hospital for my nose. She busted a blood vessel. And I now have a deviated septum and have issues with my nose. I now need to see a specialist for it. I'm in pain... View More

You cannot file criminal charges against her that is the responsibility of the prosecuting attorney. However, you can call the police to make a report if that has not already happened. The police should sent the report to the prosecutor to review for battery charges. It is entirely the... View More
I know the juvenile bureau has jurisdiction over me till I’m 19. I’m still on probation for something stupid I did when I was 16 I took xannax and got some assault charges. What will happen if I’m still on probation when I turn 19? I don’t feel like the probation will just be dropped. What... View More

You should again read your Sentence and Probation papers. You probably will be discharged then. You also should talk to your probation officer to discuss this. Good luck to you. Stay out of trouble.
I was in school and saw a jacket laying on the floor for about an hour unattended, then grabbed it. Yes my intention was to take it but if I was pressed about it I would of course give it back. A couple hours later I got called down to the deans and asked about it. I then said yes and handed the... View More

Correct action. Theft is theft. What if it was at walmart? You would have been arrested.

For all she knows, the note could have been written by you under duress. It would be best for you to call the authorities and straighten this out before someone gets in deeper trouble.

i doubt if they would look back now that you are 18 and if married to him with a baby
in order to be granted a lease he needs to list her and her child as an occupant. her parents have given consent verbally. emancipation is not worth trying she will be 18 in nov. is there a way to get temp custody so they can legally get the apartment? we are in ohio.

Son can establish paternity and then file for parental rights/shared custody in court, and be required to pay child support. But the landlord shouldn't need that, if all that is needed is daughter and child listed on lease.
she was playing around a couple of months ago and hit her friend a little hard, and now the d.a. is calling us to go see them. what can we do and is this legal just for horseplaying with her friend?
answered on Feb 27, 2018
A juvenile case COULD be filed against your daughter, but whether it will or not is uncertain. It is concerning that the DA is calling. Don't provide any statement until you meet with an attorney.
She wants to move in with a friend.
answered on Feb 27, 2018
She can move at age 18 because she is an adult.
It would also terminate the obligation of child support. Even though she is still in high school, she would not be residing with the parent who would be receiving child support.
We are the paternal grandparents, and filed a petition over a year ago to get custody if her. We were approved with everything DFCS required of us. Now my son gets visitation, overnight visits and another day visit during each week, but if foster family wants to take baby out of town on the... View More

Consider consulting with an attorney familiar with dependency actions and some sort of public interest experience (such as Assistant Public Defender in a Unified Court and Legal Aid). Placement can be changed or modified.
The mom is an unfit mother, and I wan to stay home alone for one week, so my dad can work. I have food and the proper amount of needs to stay.

If the court has given residential custody to your mother, then you must abide by the parenting plan should she decide to enforce it. Talk to your dad and an attorney local to you about your dad seeking a Motion to Modify to have residential custody switched to your father.
