The Judge was the ONLY person who established your husband's visitation rights, and the Judge is the only person who can answer this question. Do NOT rely on a "military POA." Ask the Judge.

I just want to make sure they are safe and got to where they needed to be. I want to help the guys who werent as lucky as me to have a good support system. I am not on parole, I am not released on any conditions.

It depends on the conditions of your release. For service members who served a longer sentence (those over 10 years and usually those over 20) there is the possibility of early release through a parole system. When released, those individuals may carry similar conditions on release that limit who... Read more »

I have a confession that an affair took place, but it’s been deleted off my phone for a few years and I need it for court. He’s in the military.

This is a tech question. Have you asked AT&T if the messages can be retrieved? Why is this information necessary for your case? California is a no-fault state. Meaning, an affair is not relevant, unless you are trying to prove that community funds were used to finance the affair, or... Read more »

You are facing a super hard issue and the world is not very understanding.
The main issue is that no one should be in fear, especially children, at home. And a call to police is undeniable that you were scared, so the state is going to take a position that the call was valid and therefore... Read more »

In Florida, if you want to assert your rights you would need to file a petition for paternity. In Florida if you take no action the mother will have full legal custody and control of the child. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.

If you have been charged in Baltimore City, you should see if you are eligible for Veteran's Court.
