North Dakota Questions & Answers
Q: How can someone 'prove' self-defense when the person who assualted you lies saying they never hit me and filed charges?
Lucas Wynne's answer
It is the lawyer's decision, not the client's, in choosing which motions to make. If you want to prove facts of the case, trial is the place and time to do just that.

Stefan Dunkelgrun's answer
If the parents are unable to sort it out between the two of them, the matter would need to go before a judge. Without further information, it is impossible to determine the outcome of such a proceeding.

Q: Why is federal law supreme to state law in land matters?
Stefan Dunkelgrun's answer
Federal law is supreme over state law because as a condition of Statehood, North Dakota passed an Enabling Act ceding all unclaimed land to the Federal Government for disposition. Upon meeting the appropriate criteria (e.g. homesteading), a person could be granted ownership by requesting a land patent.
There are a lot of conspiracy theories and falsehoods surrounding land patents. A land patent is the original transfer of land from the government to the initial owner. Any patent that...

If they are located in the United States, you should contact law-enforcement in the city in which they are located. This is clearly a scam.

Q: My daughter is an addict and is now pregnant - how can I make sure I get custody?
Gregory William Liebl's answer
There is never a guarantee that you can obtain custody over a child that is not yours. That said, you have several options to pursue and should contact an attorney to discuss whether custody is the best route for you to take. Some routes are more difficult and expensive than others and your lawyer will need to know more about your case before you choose which route is best for you.

Q: if a town make a rule change and they seize you personal belongings do they have to composite you for the money invested
Nicholas Nelson's answer
Further details are needed to adequately address your question.
Generally speaking, a law is not valid if it seeks to "punish" a person for an "act" that was previously legal. However, as I said, I cannot provide adequate legal advice without first discussing all the particular facts and circumstances of your matter.

Your question has multiple factors that cannot be adequately answered without a full consultation.
However, general speaking, a parent may bring a custody dispute in ND if the child lives in ND. To protect your parental rights, you may want to file for a judicial order that gives you custody and prevents the father from taking the children out of state.

With active warrants you want to retain an attorney as soon as possible. If you truly were not there, you certainly would have a chance of beating the charges.
Your options are to either 1) continue absconding and wait to be either arrested or summoned to court or 2) get an attorney, then turn yourself in and hopefully get released on bail pending your trial - then gather witnesses that can account for your whereabouts on the night in question.

Q: If I'm a primary parent of a 4 year old am I able to move within the state of North Dakota?
Lucas Wynne's answer
You should consider the ramifications of such a move before making the move. Those ramifications are dependent on whether a court order is in place and whether doing so might give another party reason to bring a motion as to the current situation with your child.
