My son was riding his bike at 1:30am on a Saturday night during Spring break and was arrested by Grove PD for curfew violation. I can not find any information about what time the City of Grove curfew is, how can they enforce a law that is posted nowhere accesible to parents. They then assaulted him... View More

Yes, they can. Have you checked with the Grove City Clerk on the ordinances? They are required to be filed in the County law library in Jay.

Probably not. If there were serious injuries to the other person, a juvenile case could be started. If so You should consult an experienced Family Law Attorney, in your area, for help with this problem.
I have witnessed them being called names and told they were useless. They want to get out because of their parent's constant bullying and denagrating behavior towards them.

Ask your friend to Call DHS in Pryor for help with this. They can get your friend to a safe place. If your parents approve, it might be your home.
I know the juvenile bureau has jurisdiction over me till I’m 19. I’m still on probation for something stupid I did when I was 16 I took xannax and got some assault charges. What will happen if I’m still on probation when I turn 19? I don’t feel like the probation will just be dropped. What... View More

You should again read your Sentence and Probation papers. You probably will be discharged then. You also should talk to your probation officer to discuss this. Good luck to you. Stay out of trouble.

Do you have a lease, if so read the terms. If not, they can terminate you for any reason on giving you notice. If you rent monthly, 30 days required.

I'm in a foster home it was temporarily for my mom to get us back well she's not I wanna live with my grandmother and my siblings with their aunt and uncle for them to be adopted do I have any say so?
answered on Jan 8, 2018
Your best bet is to discuss this with your DHS caseworker and see what the DHS attitude is about what you want. Also ask when the next Court date is scheduled, and tell them you want to be there. The Judge should have appointed an Attorney or Guardian Ad Litem for you, and perhaps even a CASA... View More
This is his 1st offense except for a few fights in school which he either got suspended or ISS. the petition states to make him a ward of the court and committed to the care, custody, and control of such persons or institutions as the court deems just and proper. what does that mean?
answered on Jan 7, 2018
No clue why he'd be charged with a felony. As of July 1, 2017, that offense is a misdemeanor. Hire an attorney who knows the law.
answered on Jan 3, 2018
Yes, he should be able to do this. If his mom or dad objects, You should consult an experienced Family Law Attorney, in your area, for help with this problem. If a 17 yr old desires to live with you, under Oklahoma law, the court should follow his wishes, unless good cause exists not to do... View More
My cousin had custody of me. Would I get in trouble if I still leave at 18?
answered on Dec 13, 2017
You should stay where you are until you finish school. It's pretty rough out there on your own, and you might not finish school with the problems you could have.

It's not an easy question to answer. The Judge will want to do what's in your best interests. Since you aren't in an abusive situation, and your complaint is "mentally draining", I have doubts about this happening. If you want some real heavy mental and emotional draining,... View More

I'm really sorry there is a family problem here. I wish I knew more about what is going on here, like what is the gift, and why do they want it back. A general answer would be no, BUT a better answer would be that's in your best interest, in the long run, for you to let them gave it... View More

The reason you have not received an answer before is that you don't give enough facts to determine the correct answer. If you still want help, ask again, and give more details, like what kind of hearing, who is holding it, and why, what't the subject matter, etc.
I’m 17 and I turn 18 in 2 months and there’s a lot of family problems and I want to move to puerto Rico with a family friend without my moms permission, if my mom files me as a runway what would happen to me.
answered on Nov 30, 2017
You possibly could be picked up as a "Runaway Juvenile" in your new home, before you turn 18, BUT, a good lawyer there could probably prevent them returning you to your home. AND, considering everything, and you being almost 18, I seriously doubt if this would happen. Also, to return you,... View More

He is drinking smoking weed and refuses to do anything we ask. He steals from my purse . Has missed around 30 days of school...out of 38 . He laughs at his dad when he tells him to do something... help we feel trapped by his bad behavior and lack of options.
answered on Nov 26, 2017
Have you talked to DHS about this? It appears now that he is a "Delinquent Child". The Court can order him placed in an environment where he can't get weed or alcohol, and must attend school. You should consult with an experienced family law attorney in your county to help with this... View More

Your current custody order remains in effect unless/until it is modified.
answered on Oct 31, 2017
Would depend on exactly what happened and if/when it was reported and other factors. Don't post details of the case online - visit with an attorney in person to review the specifics of this case.
answered on Oct 30, 2017
Nope, who you live with will be a decision made by the Judge in their divorce case.
You do have the right to tell the Judge which PARENT you want to live with though, but GF is not an option.
