To assist with a motion for reconsideration, you should contact an Alabama attorney experienced in post-conviction work. These kinds of legal battles can be very complicated and should be handled by a competent attorney.
Please help before I go back jail I've did already 4 months an 2 years probation my probation was up last month an I'm still having to report color code I don't think it's right me being on color code
If you had an attorney when you first went to court, you should contact that attorney for help. If you didn't have an attorney, you have a few options.
If you have been compliant with probation and color code, you can try writing the judge a letter by sending it to the clerks office... Read more »
My husband was placed on 5yrs of Community Corrections in July of this year after pleading guilty to a possesion (Class D) felony. To make a really long story short, he checked in with the community corrections officer on 10-26-20 and taken into custody by way of bench warrant for failure to comply... Read more »
If your husband had an attorney when he pleaded guilty to the original UPOCS, you should contact that attorney. Defendants who are placed on Community Corrections supervision are in the custody of ADOC, so "revocation" and violations work differently than probation if he has been on... Read more »

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. That sounds very hard. Alabama law allows people with judgments against them to exempt the first $1,000.00 of each month's wages from garnishment by a creditor (including a hospital). Here is a new story about the exemption:... Read more »
*My mother is in a common law marriage recognized by the state of Alabama. She has fallen ill and my step dad wants me to make all medical decisions.
Yes, your mother would likely need a living will and an advanced healthcare directive to make her decisions known and to give you the power to make medical decisions on her behalf. Here is a little more information on advanced healthcare directives in Alabama:... Read more »

Her Mother his ex wife is now suing us for custody of max the dog. she has no monetary ownership nor has the dog ever lived with her. they had been... Read more »
Probably not. She has no ownership interest. That said, people can sue for anything. The clerks at court do not have the authority (or time) to screen cases to see whether they are valid or not. The real question is whether the person filing the suit will win. Based on what you said, it sounds like... Read more »
At home with me. Will the courts consider her income as part of mine? Even though i do not use her money as contribution to my household?
If you schedule your sole income and your sole expenses on Schedules I and J, your daughter's income from her employment should not be factored in. The corollary to that assumption is that your daughter earns just enough to pay for things like her vehicle, insurance, food ( at school or her... Read more »

Gave a business $2900 to order parts for my car. Decided afterwards i no longer wanted the work done.. owner of the business said that was fine, and he would return me my money when he refunded the parts.. he refunded the parts and got the money back but the bank supposedly froze his bank account.....

It can actually be both. Since no work was done and he converted your money into his money and you got nothing for it, then that can be construed as Theft by Deception 1st, a class B Felony since he has taken your money and not returned. Talk to the police or sheriffs office in your county about... Read more »

You have all the rights. Do not let him bully you into seeing her and possibly hurting her. You do not have to let him see her and it is bad for you if you do, knowing what he does. Go to DHR and sign up for child support. They do not do visitation nor custody. He will have to get a lawyer to get... Read more »

The county DHR can help. Best of luck.
My court date is next month on the 17th. Can I still have it dismissed or do I have to pay a fee?
As long as you get it fixed before court. If you’ll show the fixed headlight to an officer with the department of the one that gave you the ticket, they will dismiss it.

Go to the local DHR. They will be able to file for child support. But in the interim, they will also be able to provide you with aide to dependent children until he gets served. They can also help with housing and also food stamps. Good luck!
There is no court visitation agreement, just verbal. Childs parents never married. Father only has child support court agreement.
Then she can have him arrested for interference with custody. If there has never been a custody determination, only child support, regarding an unmarried couples child in Alabama, then the mother is deemed to have full custody. And if the father doesn’t return the child, then he can be arrested... Read more »
I have my own insurance but my brother not covered.
An Alabama attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for five weeks. Most motor vehicle accidents do not involve criminal charges or arrest. They are usually treated as civil matters where the parties sue for monetary damages. That's a general premise nationwide. If you want a... Read more »
Do I have to send a request to the court? The mother and myself are in agreement with modifying the support, if it is not automatic. I just need to know what steps to take - i.e. forms, letter(?), etc. Are there fees?
You have to go back to court for you child support to be reset with a new calculation done for the remaining child. By the way, it does not cut in half.
We were talking and I mentioned to him that I thought our time had expired. He proceeded to tell me he wanted my things packed and moved out of the home the next day. I had nowhere to stay.
