If you are the birth father of the child, then you should be able to file a Form N-600 to obtain a certificate of citizenship. Under the Child Citizenship Act (INA 320) a child born outside of the United States automatically becomes a U.S. citizen when all of the following conditions have been met... Read more »

At worst it will be a juvenile case. You should likely speak with a lawyer if that occurs.

I understand you believe you're capable of doing this yourself, but it seems the reality is that's not going to be possible because: 1) She refuses to sign; and 2) You can't file a divorce uncontested because, factually, it's not if the other person refuses to sign. You should... Read more »

Yes, an officer can. Will it hold up to the scrutiny of a judge or jury? That depends on whether it can be proven you were actually driving under suspension.

Hire a lawyer and force the other parent's hand.

Yes, you can ask for a restraining order if you can show that you are facing credible threats.

Civil forfeiture is generally a separate proceeding if you're contesting it - but if they outright stole your money and are wondering what will happen the real answer is nothing unless you do something about it. What would you do? Likely ask the BCI to open up an investigation.

You likely need the squad car video to determine if there was an illegal search and seizure under the US Constitution. Even if there was, you cannot simply orally tell the judge about the issue - you have to make a motion, which is difficult to do if you're not an attorney.

If the judge ordered it, then yes. However, you have the right to a bond review hearing.

You should likely try to negotiate something called a deferred imposition of sentence if at all possible.

When I am helping clients fight trucking accidents, the first thing I ask is which party was liable. Being cited for reckless driving does NOT mean you will necessarily lose your case. The best way to determine if you have a claim is to call an attorney like myself who handles injury cases.

I'm very sorry for the loss of your father. Your question remains open for two weeks. At this point, you could reach out to law firms that handle product liability/wrongful death matters involving pharmaceuticals. The firms that handle such cases are often large, and they often handle multiple... Read more »

The statute of limitations depends on the crime.

This is Probate, not probation. Post your question under Criminal Law in ND.

Hard to tell. In North Dakota, you can serve a lawsuit and file it later. So you could be sued before the person or company suing you files it with the court.
