Please don't write in ALL CAPS. It's hard to read. It sounds like the appellate court did one of two things: (1) found that there was no final appealable order, or (2) indicated that without findings of fact and conclusions of law, they didn't have a sufficient record to overturn the... View More
What do or can I do?
answered on May 14, 2018
Do you have documents that show you paid the amounts they say are due? Were the amounts you paid listed on your tax returns, payroll deductions, or bank statements? If their records show you owe money, even if they don't have full documentation of that, you might have the burden to prove... View More

The divorce process and legal system can be frustrating and slow. You have a lawyer, so discuss this with your lawyer. But the lawyer must follow the legal process, as slow as it is, and not much can be done to speed anything up.

It needs to be signed. Any affidavits included with it would need to be notarized. But, the brief itself does not.
IF BOTH THE MAGISTRATE, AND THE REGULAR JUDGE RULED AGAINST ME, AND I LOST MY CASE AM I THE APPELLEE, OR THE APPELLANT WHEN FILING BRIEFS, OR MOTIONS IN THE 8TH DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS?
answered on Feb 19, 2018
If you are bringing the appeal, you would be the appellant. You are broaching an area of the law (federal appellate procedure) with very specific procedural rules that must be obeyed or your appeal would or could be dismissed. You need to try to hire an appellate attorney to help. There are just... View More
I HAVE TO WRITE, AND FILE A BRIEF AFTER FILING A NOTICE OF AN APPEAL. I FILED THE NOTICE OF APPEAL AFTER THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE, AND THE REGULAR JUDGE RULED AGAINST ME CONCERNING A MODIFICATION OF CUSTODY AND VISITATION THAT I FILED.
answered on Feb 15, 2018
There is a specific process and time limit for filing an appeal. If not done properly, then the opportunity for appeal is lost. Since a magistrate and judge have both ruled against you, without an attorney to assist you with an appeal, a successful appeal would be difficult. Use the Find a... View More
My appeal should prevail under normal court conditions but this is a tad strange
answered on Feb 12, 2018
I wouldn't call it routine. It's hard to give you much advice based on what you've posted here. But, you really ought to be working with an attorney. Appeals are very technical and appellate courts don't have a lot of patience with litigants who don't follow the rules and procedures to the letter.
I had a judgement in Ohio in 2016 for an easement allowing a group of individuals access to their property that they had previously land locked themselves from. I never agreed to an easement and they are now causing damage to my drinking water. Is there anything that I can do? How long do I have to... View More
answered on Nov 12, 2017
You can file an appeal from a trial court's order within thirty (30) days. The better way to approach this may be to sue to have the easement vacated or to sue for damages caused by an enlargement of the easement.
My brother was just convicted of a charge that was added a trial that his lawyers agreed to without my brothers consent in the middle of trial. He is in jail for something that he wasn't originally being charged of. This is his first offense he never did anything wrong and now he awaits his... View More

Yes, indictments can be amended during trial, and charges may also appear to have been added if the judge gives an instruction to the jury concerning a lesser included offense. It really doesn't matter that much what a person was originally charged with. If the evidence demonstrates another... View More

There is no good basis for a delayed appeal. I have argued that the court has made sure there is no such thing, and I have lost. A delayed appeal without truly new evidence is a thing primed to die,

Friend is a felon, shot gun in home. Where he stayed and got mail, no one hit, case was dismissed by judge , now he has warrent, can he beat it? Any dismissed when looked up, let out on DFR.
answered on Dec 14, 2016
This case was almost certainly dismissed from municipal court and indicated in county court. That procedure causes a lot of confusion with folks thinking the case has been dropped when it is really just being transferred to the felony court. It sounds like a tough case to "beat" but that...

Literally, the cell phone itself was brought into the courtroom. I can't believe I didn't object, there's no way I created these injuries...I don't even think they were her legs.
answered on Aug 20, 2016
If you didn't object to it at trial, they probably won't think anything at all of it. Appellate courts do not reconsider evidence. They might consider its admission into the record, if someone objected to it being admitted, but it sounds like that didn't happen. This is why you need... View More

The time for appeals begins to run after you are convicted and sentenced, not after you've been charged. You cannot appeal a charge. If you have been convicted and sentenced, you are supposed to file a notice of appeal within 30 days, but can generally get an extension if its your first go at... View More

It's the federal appellate court with jurisdiction over the district courts in Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, and Tennessee.
The firm I work for filed an appeal on a judgment that was rendered against our client. Our client paid a supersedeas bond and now we are trying to get it back from the court.

Perhaps in a pleading and practice forms manual. You may have to go to a local law library for that. Try to get one that is for your state.

I feel like I've seen this question before. If you are 16, you are a minor. You cannot move out without your parent's permission.
