We have the investigation report showing he completed the crime and him admitting it. But he has people to do things for him (his words) and it is a serious crime. A judicial official in Durham NC helped him and I believe that’s why nothing is being done. He has stalked her, chased her all... Read more »
Your story just doesn't add up. If he has stalked her - just go to your local magistrate and swear out a warrant. If you can't get a warrant, odds are it didn't amount to stalking rather than mysterious 'official forces' are conspiring against you. Also, describe events clearly and accurately -... Read more »

Estranged daughter plays on sympathy of early dementia patient (mother). Other sibling is paying bills...finds out after the fact the check was written Raleigh NC not Mathews NC
Probably not an actual crime. However, protections need to be put in place. Is there a durable power of attorney? An agent under a durable power of attorney would be able to offer some protection in this type of situation. This needs to be done before the dementia progresses.

Good afternoon. My spouse was arrested and during his first appearance the judge stated he had several FTA's and would not reduce his bond.

This is my 2nd ticket, my past ticket was for not wearing a seatbelt and it was over a year ago. What should I do and what kind of fines/punishments am I facing? I am in North Carolina.
