If the ex has no custody rights, then the police should assist you. But if they won't, then you can't force them to help you. So if the police won't get involved, then you must do as the police suggest and file in court. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local family law... View More

You need to talk to an attorney about filing for divorce. Eviction is not proper in this circumstance.

You defend by retaining a criminal law attorney. Use the Find a Lawyer tab. Bullying should be something discussed with the school principal.

The marriage legitimated your child, so you don't have to file to legitimate him. Filing for divorce based upon adultery doesn't give you an advantage unless there is a possibility of alimony. Most people divorcing are sleeping with someone else, so judges don't care anymore. 99%... View More
This person is a first time offender. Never had any charges at all, and was VERY cooperative with the police. He even turned himself in.

Getting bond would be difficult, but it really depends on what the charges are.
It's my husband's first offense, he has trespassing, conspiracy to commit breaking and entering contributing to the delinquency of a minor because a minor was with him grand larceny petty larceny propety damage

15 felonies? Reason not to get bond is that he may not show up for court or he’s a threat to the community. Hire a local experienced criminal defense attorney to increase the chances of him getting bond.

When I followed up he told me he never said that and that the child... View More

You can tell him to leave as soon as he turns 18. If he is violent or destroying property before then, you can file a petition with juvenile court and charge him with assault, vandalism, or theft.
