She's also been abused, and she's kept in her house 24/7, unless she is at her church or out to eat. She isn't allowed to even walk away from her condo 25 ft.

While parents not enforcing homework, is not illegal, or abusive; the rest of what you describe is abusive. Contact your local social services about the child's situation.

You will need an attorney. Instead of waiting you should retain one now
You didn't specify what "document" and whether this was a federal or state case. For state cases, check Casenet. For federal cases, check Pacer.
I was followed by an officer from another county and just before the county line I was pulled over and given a ticket just want to know the legality and what I can show the court that the officer was in the wrong.
This is going to be very fact and location dependent. You will want to talk with local counsel who knows the local laws and rules to best understand the situation you experienced.
The criminal code indicates a range of punishment for different classes of misdemeanors and felonies. In order to figure out the maximum and minimum jail time or penalties, you will need to look at the criminal code or talk to an attorney who can look into it for you based on what you are being...

I reported it to school and the boys admitted to it & the parents said they'd pay to repair it so I filed a claim with my insurance company. The deductible turned out to be $225. Upon hearing that amount the parents now don't want to pay. They expected the screen repair was only going to be about... Read more »
sue them in small claims
Let's say someone is viewing things that may be considered inappropriate under the eyes of the law. Can the law attempt to investigate someone based on an internet search alone on a private home computer if zero images/files have been downloaded onto the computer in question? To be clear, there has... Read more »
Of course. Law enforcement may initiate an investigate if it believes a crime has been committed. The obtaining of a warrant is a separate issue.
Yes, it's possible that if you hire an experienced criminal defense attorney to represent you, that attorney could negotiate a plea bargain deal to get your "Trespassing" charge dismissed or reduced to a less serious offense, such as "Littering."
I received a speeding ticket (my first in 10+ years). The ticket says it's for "SPEEDING 36-40 MPH OVER" but below that it says driving 90, posted speed limit 60.... which is 30... not 36-40. Ninety in a sixty is consistent with what the officer stated/alleged.
Even if that doesn't... Read more »
Any error on the ticket can be corrected at any time. This does not sound like an error. This appears to be a situation in which the police officer wants the Prosecutor to know you were speeding 36-40 miles over but the cop gave you a break by issuing the ticket for only 30 miles over.

I feel like my rights are getting violated
Your 'fired" public defendant is still your counsel of record unless and until the judge grants the attorney's motion to withdraw.
I have not cashed the check yet as it is signed "Leia Organa Solo" and I'm too busy laughing at the stupidity.
You can post it on Facebook.
First-time offenders can face jail time; it just depends on what type of crime you committed.
Disposition. Accordingly you do not have to appear in municipal Court on such and such date. What do you gather out of that
It sounds like your husband received a summons from the court notifying him that the Prosecutor has charged him with committing an offense. It's most likely just a minor traffic violation or parking ticket, since it states that he doesn't have to appear in court.
To find out what he's been... Read more »
about old stolen gun case worked by ATF, would it help that person avoid possible criminal fraud case that has not been filed yet?
Without question this is not something which should be discussed on a public blog.
There are too many issues and not disclosed information to provide a competent analysis.
There are lots of misdemeanors that are now eligible for expungement. It just depends on what type of misdemeanor it was.
I've been on probation for a year for DUI, which I got 3 tickets then... Now, a year later I have a NEW charge from the same date?
This is a duplicate question. See the other answer.
A cop showed up at my residence asking for me and if I was driving that day then said he saw me earlier that day. He sidetationed me for suspended licens is that legal if I wasn’t even in the vehicle at the time?
Yes, the police officer can give you a ticket for driving while suspended if he saw you driving and your license was suspended at the time. The Prosecutor has up to 1 year from the date of the incident (for misdemeanors) to decide to file charges against you.
I was on probation at the time with 10 day back up. Just want to know if the new law (just a fine) applies to me or will I have to do time
If you were charged with possession of 10 grams or less of marijuana, then there is no possibility of jail time. If it's 35 grams or less (but more than 10 grams), then there is a possibility of 1 year in jail. You can check your terms of probation, but usually it states that if you break any law... Read more »
