You asked if there are legal consequences for the 8th grader for telling someone to kill themselves. I don't think there is a "Yes" or "No" answer. I would suggest that most likely, "No", because an 8th grader is not likely to fully appreciate the severity of what... View More

You are technically not able to commit to any legally binding agreements until you turn age 18 unless you get emancipated by a court proceeding. It probably isn't worth the time and money to file for an emancipation when you are only months away from turning 18. I suppose you could move out... View More

You will need to ask he DMV. But you are a step parent and not either a custodial or non-custodial parent. To save on being hassled just have one of his parents go with him. I don't think DMV cares who has legal custody.

Several of which have either passed away or haven't even associated with the involved parties enough to warrant a satisfactory reason for the subpoena. The opposing party requesting all the...

If the subpoena is truly frivolous you can file a motion to quash the subpoena and explain to the court why you think this is frivolous. Just because subpoena's are being issued doesn't mean that they will be served. In Oregon the party serving the Subpoena has to tender a check for a... View More

You are a minor under your parents custody and care until you are age 18. Running away isn't a crime but it is a situation that is a safety concern for the minor child so the authorities can intervene and take the juvenile into protective care. That said, sometimes older children end up... View More

There isn't an easy answer that someone can give you on the internet after just reading a short statement. On the one hand, if you have proof of ownership you might still have rights. On the other hand if you abandoned your dog that might amount to animal neglect and your family or your CPS... View More

If your daughter is a minor in your custody you have the legal right to commit her for a psychiatric evaluation or to put her in some type of institution that works with problem children. You would have to figure out how to pay for these services. Your health insurance might cover the psychiatric... View More

answered on Oct 24, 2017
If your sister is an adult, she can Petition to be your guardian. She should consult with an attorney about this. Otherwise if your sister or any other adult tries to take you from your mother (even if you want to go), they can be charged with custodial interference.
Mother and father live in home. No custody issues.

I'm sorry but I don't understand what your question is about. Could you please repost with a little more details about the situation so we know what you are asking?
Basically I'm asking if you take cases involving lawsuits against the State of Oregon?
answered on Oct 18, 2017
I don't, and attorney's cannot solict your business here anyway. You will have to search one out.
Also, note that suing a government agency means filing a tort claim notice within 180 days of the incident, so if that has not happened, that needs to be done quickly.

Once you reach age 18, you are considered an adult. Neither of your parents has custody of you. You can live wherever you want once you reach age 18. You should carefully consider your options before making your decision, and share your concerns with your father and others. This is a situation... View More
