On table and found small amount of marijuana. I was arrested for misdemeanor parafinalia and misdemeanor possession. Can I get this dismissed?
It’s very possible. While this falls under the “plain view” exception to a warrantless search, many counties in Alabama have a PreTrial Diversion program that allows for the dismissal of the charges once you complete the program. I’d find a good criminal lawyer and ask them about filing out... Read more »
How much will what cost? You haven’t said anything about the type of case it is.
Go to DHR they will handle it for you.
No sir, not until you are adjudicated in a court. A child born to an unwed mother is sole custody to the mother, even if you are listed as his father on the birth certificate. If you want visitation you will have to Petition to establish Paternity, Visitation and custody if you want rights to your... Read more »
It’s a misdemeanor. There are two, Certain Persons Forbidden to Possess a Firearm. The first is where the person has been previously been convicted of a crime of violence such as assault, robbery, burglary, murder, etc. This one is a Class Ce Felony. The second one, the one you asked about is... Read more »
They will let us see the moter but not the baby and he was present for the birth and he is on birth records and baby has his name
Petition the court to establish Paternity, visitation and child support. He can exercise his rights and they can’t stop him. He’s the father, not the grandparents.
Only an Alabama attorney is qualified to answer your question, as it involves state law. But it remains open for four weeks.

Hello. No, not unless there is an Order from the Court stating they can. Thank you for the question.
There was a court order when the divorced was final.
There is no statute of limitations on the collection of child support. Each monthly payment in automatically considered reduced to a judgment as it becomes due.

My ex wife has gotten my whole family drug tested in past cases. All clean of course. Anyway, this is not for custody just child support. And I know my son has been partaking in weed. Though I’ve never caught him. It’s blatant. And if he does get tested, what will happen to my other children at... Read more »
Hello. She would need to ask the Court's permission or get him to submit to a test voluntarily. Weed is illegal in Alabama. It is against the law to partake, have possession of it, sell it, etc. You have an obligation to your other children to protect them from illegal drugs. Thank you for... Read more »
I've yet to see a Judge disallow a parental child support agreement. You still must file the child support forms as a matter of record in your case though. Thanks for your question.
We settled outside of court. We never had to see the judge. The judge made our agreement a court order. I’m married now, can she take me back to court to request more money?
Yes, either of you can always go back and request to recalculate child support.
My 16 year old son acted dumb and entered a school that had been shut down for years and ended up being caught while walking out of the school. My son and 1 other boy were arrested and charged with Burglary 3rd. The other boy stole a half of a pack of printer paper, a used box of crayons, and a... Read more »
Unfortunately, the intent to steal need not be formed when they entered the building; the law says entered or REMAINED UNLAWFULLY THEREIN thus if they were unlawfully in the school when the intent to commit theft was formed it counts as burglary. Notably, your son would have had to agree to the... Read more »

Hello. No, there's no specific law that addresses how old a child has to be before it can spend the night with the other parent. Thank you for the question.

Hello. No, it will not be legal unless and until it is a court order. Otherwise, you are at his mercy of when and how much he decides to pay. Contact DHR or hire an attorney to file for CS. Thanks for your question.

He does not have the right to bother you during your pregnancy. Contact him one last time and tell him if he bothers you again you will have him arrested. And then stop all contact. If he bothers you again call the police and have him arrested. When you go to the hospital and have the baby, do not... Read more »
Everything is agreed upon, he agrees to proceed without dispute. Does the waiver exempt us from needing to file an answer or wait through the response period
Typically the documents are filed all at one time.

You have a lot of questions in this and have not provided much information. You need to get to a family law attorney immediately. Also just for a short answer, yes he can get in trouble for not paying child support when he is ordered to, even though he hasn’t seen him. And probably yes, you need... Read more »
