They are not unsung their insurance can we take them to court and make them use their insurance since it will be cheaper

Ok, that's a lot. No, there is no criminal exposure, you are correct the age of consent is 16.
Yes a minor can recognize his child legally, however he will need to have a guardian and listen appointed to him.
Yes he can provide a passport.
You need to ask a South Carolina attorney but very likely at this point - paying it will not be enough.
When it became time for what she thought was to get her license back, she was told that she needed to have an interlock device installed on her car. At that time, we were not married and she did not have a car. Time passed and she never got her license back and she has been without one ever since.... Read more »
GREAT QUESTION
An Interlock may be required, irrespective of the passage of time. DMV in North Carolina tends to be a bit of a stickler on this point.
The expiration of time often does not matter to them.
The condition of an IID for a Conditional Restoration with DMV is... Read more »

Now she wants me to pay the full amount of daycare for our child because she cant afford to pay his and the other child. She... Read more »
You are required to pay court ordered child support and that's it. What she may want is irrelevant. Besides - if she isn't working, she doesn't need day care.
Me harassing her via facebook. Minutes before our turn her lawyer came to me and I felt like I was entrapped by her lawyer and my family to sign an "agreement" concerning a restraining order but also I now have "supervised visitation" for both if my kids for 26hr/week
I am not violent and... Read more »
If you file a separate court action for child custody, and parenting agreement or order that comes out of the custody case will trump the supervised visitation in the domestic violence case. I would highly recommend you hire a local attorney to help you with that, especially since she is... Read more »
We married the 18th of January, He left to live with his father on the 14th of February. I moved out into my own rental July 18. I just need to know which date to put so the divorce paperwork is properly filled out.
Whichever date is the date at which you were both physically apart, and had the intent not to resume the marital relationship.
He often withholds if he is working or not bc he and step mom say it isn’t my business. How can I (primary custody) enforce an order if I am not aware of he is lying. Often the girls are with their step mother and not him. He has every other weekend and Wednesdays if he isn’t working. He often... Read more »
Yes
it’s the first court appearance would the chances of me getting locked up slim to none
It sounds like the child support agency is seeking contempt of court against you for failure to pay. If you bring the full amount owed to court, the judge will likely not hold you in contempt, which means you would not go to jail. Most judges will honor partial payment as well, especially where I...

She repeatedly slapped my daughter in the face she had her by the throat. My daughter want to know if they will report her to dad she has to children that I believe may have seen it she is worried about the kids but that she will get in trouble for hitting her back
If daughter was not the aggressor and didnt start the altercation, and if she has injuries, then go to the magistrates office and take out assault charges. Nothing prevents aunt from doing the same thing.
Clearly this is an unhealthy family relationship, and I would sever contact until it... Read more »

Read more »
Yes. Without a Court order each parent has a right to keep the child. If she cannot provide suitable housing at the moment, you need to look out for the best interest of your child. If she resolves her housing issue you should still seek formalization of the custody arrangement to prevent disputes... Read more »
My husband received an inheritance that was deposited into our Morgan Stanley investment account in his name only. Will I be able to receive any of this if we get divorced?
Inheritance would typically be his and you would have no claim to it unless he co-mingles it. So depending on the circumstances of the deposit into a joint investment account you may have some claim. However, regardless of what the law says, all other things being equal, you should not want a... Read more »

why is there such a mystery surrounding speeding tickets in NC? I don't understand why they cannot be addressed. My daughter opted to go to court on the date shown on the citation as she felt she was innocent of speeding. The first time she went there was no judge so they continued. Same thing... Read more »
You how when you car is making a grinding sound and you are not a mechanic you go see a mechanic? Well the same holds true for legal work.

I’m currently married. The baby is from another relationship I had. My husband and I don’t want the father involved his a risk no solid income and inconsistent living. And unsafe people around.
You can't - you'd have to wait until the child is born. At that time you will have full custody and your husband will be presumed to be the father and will be on the birth certificate (if that is what you want - the other option is for the birth certificate to say 'refused' - the actual father can...

No, not on its face, as a general matter. Your question remains open for two weeks and you could consult with a North Carolina attorney for any state-specific health care law that would apply. It could be, but each case can be fact-specific. When a hospital medical staff makes the determination to... Read more »
GREAT QUESTION
I am aware of no law in North Carolina that prevents an officer from issuing a ticket after-hours. It's frankly doesn't sound like a very safe/smart/nice thing to do.
Most NC defense lawyers would want to more about that fact-pattern before deciding how to move... Read more »
Order was first drafted but they stated case is currently closed I would like to give my mom custody of my nephew but I'm unsure on how to do that! Who's should I contact so that i may do the right thing legally
An attorney would need to see the language of the Court Order, before giving you definitive advice. If the Order was entered in VA, then the VA court would need to modify that order. A case is not "closed" until the child turns 18 years old, so something is off here. It may be that because you were... Read more »
For work completed she claims it’s not right however we have tried to make things right and make her happy she won’t let us on property she says we needed a license and permits which is false what grounds do we have to get paid for work completed
