That is not what I said and if that is what you understood from my response then your odds have just dropped some more. Words have specific meaning. What I said was your odds are not good with an attorney and are dramatically reduced if you represent yourself. I did not say you have no chance.... Read more »

You need an attorney. Based on your own description - they don't need to lie. Even if everything they said in their Motion for Emergency Custody is lies and everything you have said here is true - even with an attorney, your odds of winning are likely not good but without an attorney, they are...

She now may need crowns and she has had trouble putting on weight.
It's difficult to say based on these brief facts. You could contact a North Carolina attorney, and if they felt there was a possibility of demonstrating causality between the failure to diagnose and the symptoms you describe, they could request the file and review the records with a medical...

Unauthorized she said since she’s already in jail it counts as time served and that charge will be dropped is this true?
That makes no sense

Raise money for her to hire an attorney. Do a fundraiser, post on GoFundMe, try Facebook donations, but trying to find a pro bono attorney is pretty much a non-starter. But you might be able to convince an attorney to take it on a flat fee of 2500 to 5000. Practicing law is an extremely... Read more »

DaVINCI EDITRICE S.R.L., VS. ZIKO GAMES, LLC, et al., in CIVIL ACTION NO. H-13-3415 cited a card game's mechanics aren't protected, I'm looking - quite literally - to copy a card game (as the defendant in the cited case) that is no longer in production by reskinning the game and removing protected...

Games can be copyrighted as can the rules. So skinning a game can cause a variety of legal issues. I would have an attorney do a detailed analysis. One fact can change the result.
Grandfather and girlfriend bought property together and they both lived in house as man and wife. The deed does not say tenants in common nor joint tenants in common. What will happen when one of them passes. Grandfather did a will giving the house to his children but the girlfriend did not sign... Read more »
Unmarried co-owners are presumed to own as tenants in common in equal shares, unless the deed states otherwise. Accordingly, when your grandfather dies, and assuming the will is valid and is as you stated, his children will own 50% of the house along with the girlfriend as to the other 50%.
My husband is a illegal immigrant and he was convicted of Cocaine and after hiring a criminal lawyer his final outcome was that he plead guilty to Drug Paraphernalia but now its affecting his immigration but the criminal lawyer that we hired he did not explain to my husband that if he plead guilty...

I'm going to assume the paraphernalia charge was related to cocaine. ANY GUILTY PLEA related to ANY controlled substance, OTHER THAN a small amount of marijuana, will most likely mean your husband will be DEPORTED.

I was granted full custody I last year. And also asked for child support... The judge gave me the worksheet of the amount I would get.. I called and they told me they don't see any court order.. Now i don't know where the judge is. I have a new family court judge
You need to schedule a hearing on child support, and at this point retroactive child support. A family law attorney in your district, or child support enforcement can help you with this issue.
As much as I hate to say this, there aren't any good options, short of serious vigilance and professional counseling.
Your other options:
(a) Call the police, who will say they don't normally act in that kind of capacity -- still, they might agree to give him a talking to;... Read more »
I heard you can still be held responsible for another man's child if the child is born into your marriage.
You still have to wait a year. You need to talk to a family law attorney in your jurisdiction about the steps you can take to protect yourself from having to support the child born to the marriage.
Mother was sexually involved with 2 men, not married to either, but lives with Man A. A prenatal DNA test was done and the results state Man B is the father. Mother states that she is moving forward as if the baby belongs to Man A. Can she refuse to allow a second DNA test with Man B upon the birth... Read more »
Yes, she can refuse and then man B can get the Court to force her to comply. Of course, unless man B plans to try and obtain custody of the child, all man B is really doing is setting himself up for 18 potential years of paying child support.
I was in Akumal, Mexico 2 weeks ago and signed up for a timeshare. I got a great deal and it's not that I can't afford it but after thinking about everything for 2 weeks I'd rather do something else with my money. They mentioned something about not being able to cancel it but there has to be... Read more »
Timeshares in Mexico give you a 50-day rescission period, so you're likely too late to use that route. You may still be able to get out of the contract, but you no longer have the easiest route to a refund/cancellation. When I've helped clients in similar situations, some have mentioned facts that...

state is wrong and my address state is wrong. I was doing 72 in a 65 with another car right next to me. The officer clocked that car first at 70 and choose to pull me over.

As far as the US is concerned you can carry a US passport and that of another country. You will need to see what the Brazilian position on the matter is.
It depends upon the context. Is it a criminal investigation or testimony (or witness interview) in a criminal case?
If it's criminal, yes. A cop can question a minor as part of a criminal investigation.
If it's civil, it depends on many things and we'd need to know if it's... Read more »
