Potentially. Tickets, like all other charges, are supposed to have enough information to advise the person of what they are being charged with. Your best bet is going to be to get with an experienced criminal defense lawyer to discuss the facts and circumstances of the case, particularly the stop,... View More
Have there been certain circumstances where a ticket or affidavit isn’t filed because the officer knew he did multiple things wrong
answered on Jul 24, 2022
It really depends on the circumstances. Lots of officers will still file charges regardless of their own conduct; however, if an officer has said that they are pressing charges, then the best thing to do would be to follow up with the local court periodically to see if they did.
I’m asking information about TYPE 1 in MS code 93-63-3. (grandparents visitation) I am aware there is a TYPE 2.
answered on Jul 23, 2022
No. There is no true automatic custody. For the father to have court ordered visitation, someone has to have court ordered custody. I would advise you to contact an attorney. As I stated before your questions are more than can be adequately answered in this forum.

You will have to file a petition in chancery court in The county where the child lives. The petition will have to provide the court with the present name of the child, the proposed new name, and the reason for the change. The petition will need to be signed by the parents of the child or notice the... View More

The issue of grandparents’ rights is much more complicated than can be fully discussed here.
1. The step-grandparent can be a named party. Second, you have quoted only a portion of the statute.
2. Visitation rights can also be awarded if the grandparent can show that a... View More

I do not practice law in Mississippi and this is not legal advise. However, another word for "giving up your rights" is to relinquish your parental rights, to terminate your rights. I hope that whatever situation you are facing that you are well.

The mother is extremely irrational, irate, and narcissistic. Child is being held over the fathers head and used as a tool to emotionally attack the father. The father is being stalked, harrsssed and bullied online by thousands of people.

A father can voluntarily relinquish his parental rights; however, none of the reasons you have given would allow for a termination. The reasons may be a reason to change custody of the child to the father if he is suitable in other respects. However, if the mother agrees to the termination, the... View More
It says till 21 unless emancipated, does a full time job count as emancipation?
answered on Jul 19, 2022
If your child reaches the age of 18, graduates from high school but does not go on to college, and becomes employed full time, you should file a motion to terminate your child support. More than one emancipation event will have taken place; however, an attorney cannot tell you will 100% surety that... View More
What should I say in court? Should we both get a lawyer? Will this go on our record?
answered on Jul 19, 2022
It really depends. There is nothing necessarily requiring you to have a lawyer as a victim; however, if there is the possibility of a civil suit for damages against the dog's owner, you may want to seriously consider having a lawyer present so that they can also communicate with the prosecutor...

Wrote the ticket when i was in a store and after which I came out to him asking for the placard which I provided he didn’t put my name on the ticket and he put the wrong street on it do i have a chance of fighting it?
answered on Jul 12, 2022
Typically, unless your name is on the ticket, then there is not proper notice of a charge. Regardless, because you provided a placard, you have a good chance at getting the ticket dismissed, assuming that the officer turned in the ticket. Your best bet is probably going to be to contact the court... View More
I was charged with domestic violence in May of 2021 but it was dropped (not guilty)
answered on Jul 6, 2022
Assuming that it was either dismissed or you were found not guilty, then the case is no longer active and you should not have to go to court. That being said, it may still pop up on a background check with the final disposition on the background check.

It means that it has been referred to the attorneys for collection through court action.

If you are not the biological parent, we’re not married to the other parents, and have not been awarded any visitation with the child through a court order, you do not any any rights to the child. I’m very sorry.
I hired a private lawyer in 2020. July 2021 our court order was signed by my childrens father. His payments are suppose to come out his check through the state from his job.

You would probably do better to take all of your paperwork to a private attorney and let him/her review it. The private attorney will be better able to spend the time on trying to determine what is going on with your case. If the court order states a specific amount each month for current support,...

Under the plea offer as given, it would seem that you would serve some time in MDOC custody; however, how long you actually remain in custody (more specifically, the possibility of earned time) is going to depend on the nature of the charges. Some allow you to become eligible for release after... View More

answered on Jun 26, 2022
You really need to talk to your lawyer further, and refrain from giving details about your case on an open platform like this. As to the double jeopardy, that only applies if you have been tried twice for the same crime or if your liberty is put at risk twice for the same offense.
Cost and can it be dismissed because of incorrect info on year of car

No, they will simply amend the ticket to show the correct year.
