The Navy can start the process of administratively separating you from the military for a number of reasons. They can make their own determinations that are independent of the criminal process going on, especially if the person has given a statement to the military about what has happened.... Read more »

First, I am not a VA attorney. That said, I do not think you have a final judgment, yet. I assume that you were found "guilty" of civil contempt, and I assume that was for not paying child support. Unless a finding of civil contempt is separately appealable (by VA statute or rule) that is... Read more »

Lease is terminating at the end of month.
I do not think there is any relevance of this non-payment to COVID-19, but I would suggest you see your lease agreement and what it says about leaving early and payment.
Can they legally do that. I mean can I expect an indictment,or arrest from this
The answer is it depends. It depends on what areas you allowed them into in order to look for the robbers. If they then saw something in plain view, not hidden away, they can grab that. But there may be a very good cause of action if they were moving things about and searching in containers b/c... Read more »

of office and the prosecutor won?
There is a concept called "immunity" in the law that shields people in public office from citizen disputes over discretionary decisions that are made. Police have it, council and school board members have it, judges have it and POTUS has it. An exception to this would be when the public... Read more »
My workplace is trying to punish me for "performance issues" and in their reasoning for punishment, they cite multiple instances where I plead innocence in personal conversation with my boss as evidence that I am guilty of "hiding work" or purposely misdoing work. That's... Read more »

When a tenant gives his/her notice to vacate the premises and terminate the lease, that stands firm for the end of the lease, unless the landlord agrees otherwise in writing to extend the lease. It sounds like you have no option but to vacate the premises since the landlord refused to extend the... Read more »

A Virginia attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for five weeks. You could check their terms of service, or if there are internal provisions for resolution of disputes. Good luck
