My father in law can't be trusted. Wondering how easy it would be to get him if he fleed the state being on house arrest and facing 4 felonies all drug related. I would be responsible for his bond of 20k if he did.
answered on Jul 5, 2020
Your question is somewhat unclear "can out" ??? The rest of it seems to ask if you are going to have to pay his bail bond if he flees, and that you don't trust him. So, the first question is why did you put up a bond for him in the first place if you don't trust him to honor... View More
So I’m a 14 y/o female and recently a 35 y/o male has been contacting me through social media. At first our conversations were mutual and friendly.

Yes, and although this is not directly international law, my suggestion is that you cut him off from you social media and contact local law enforcement.
Good Luck

Depends on the circumstances and facts surrounding the allegations. How bad was the assault? Was it on going? Were there long-lasting injuries? Were the kids present? Was a weapon used? Were alcohol or drugs a factor?

Your ex would be able to pick up his child from another person's home without your consent. Hearing your story I'm afraid that you are setting yourself for a terrible custody case. NC judges are not very sympathetic to a parent who is withholding or hiding a child from another parent. It... View More
He's already going through charges for felony b&e, felony conspiracy and felony larceny after the fact. He only has a charge for fighting on his record from 2 yrs ago. What can I expect???

Based on those charges, I would get ready for him to go to prison
Lady was warranted and arrested for drug charges and child abuse charges for drug bust but was not at the home only share address there. She has been in jail for almost 6 months. Is this legal??
answered on Aug 16, 2018
I doubt that you have been supplied all the facts. If these people are close to you, I would ask to see the affidavit for the warrant and the police reports.
Unless she is in federal court, then it is not a federal crime

At 17 why do you think you have any say in the matter or that a statement from you is in any way relevant? Ask your parents, it is their restraining order not yours. At 18 the restraining order will no longer apply to you unless you are still living with your parents and even then, only when you... View More
My dad took a plea deal for a felony drug charge; However, he came to the US when he was 17 on a visa and he married my sibling(s) mom and later in life married my mom who are both citizens. He was told that he could be facing deportation. Is there any way he could petition for citizenship?

This is not the only challenge that your father faces. I strongly recommend he make an appointment or teleconference with a competent and experienced immigration attorney as soon as possible.
The individual that falsely testified at someone's trial wants to step up with the truth but is afraid of getting charged with anything
answered on Mar 13, 2018
That person needs to speak with an attorney immediately. A lot depends on the facts and circumstances of the testimony.
While a GREAT question, the internet is not the best place to do that.
Thanks for the inquiry!

BEST to talk to an experienced Criminal Defense Lawyer where the Warrant for Arrest has been issued.
These things tend to be a bit complicated.

You very likely have an order for arrest outstanding. Fortunately this is a problem you can likely simply throw some money at to make it go away. Just hire the cheapest traffic attorney you can find and put this behind you.
