If you believe you are an Heir, then move to intervene in the Partition Suit immediately. Apparently the Plaintiff does not think you are one of the Heirs so he did not sue you. Be prepared to prove you are actually an Heir under the Intestacy Statute.

Domestic Assault is a very serious offense, worse than some Felonies. Hire an attorney to prepare for a Preliminary Hearing. This is a public forum. Do not contact your Son under any circumstances. Diversion, Dismissal and Expungement should be sought if not Dismissed initially.

Hire a competent attorney to file a Motion To Suppress Evidence. The pat down and inventory subsequent to arrest are probably legal, but you can try, especially if such information is critical. Time for a new phone and number.

Your facts seem confusing. But you definitely do not want to talk to anyone about any kind of child abuse except an attorney. It may be time for a new phone, and definitely do not use illegal drugs. Hopefully you will not be charged, but be ready to make bail and hire an attorney.

You will probably need to get a NV attorney in the Las Vegas area to file an action in Court to change that mistake to the 28th or 1st. It will probably be expensive and require your appearance in

Rarely would any TRO prohibit filing suit or service of process. Unless TRO specifically says this, your lawyer should get him served. If TRO actually prohibits a suit and process, which I doubt, then you have to go to the Court which issued the TRO and ask to modify it.
