If going to court, if you cannot afford one, one will be appointed. If a child is innocent, get a lawyer. If a child is guilty, you should get the appointed one, and plead guilty.
Yes, a child should, and telling the truth gets you in less trouble than lying and then others find out the truth. Lying gets you in bigger trouble.
You should talk to a lawyer. Basically, he probably owes alimony to you upon completion of a divorce, and he owes child support whether or not you are divorced. My recommendation is to see a lawyer, arrange for a divorce ASAP, get sole custody of the children, and then have the court arrange child and alimony payments--and have your lawyer pursue compliance with these payments aggressively. Deadbeats can have their paychecks garnished to meet this obligation, so there's no way out of it. If you are not married, you should still see a lawyer to arrange for child support payments, which he owes whether or not you were married.
If there is suspected child abuse then the first thing that should be done is the police should be involved. Once the local police department is called they will place the case in the care of Child Protective Services and a lawyer will be provided for the child.
It can depend on the age of the child.
a child custody lawyer is the same thing as a child advocate lawyer sort of. they are just children lawyers that fight for the child that is involved in an issue. so you have to get your degree in child advocate lawyer but you have to major in something, the best thing to major in would be social work or phycology.
You should consult a lawyer about your state's child labor laws and discuss a settlement with your employer.
In order to get a levy lifted, you will first need a lawyer to see if the levy is just. If not, then your lawyer should appeal this decision in court.
Under certain circumstances, yes. Contact the police and/or a lawyer.
"While a lawyer specializing in child custody would be great, most lawyers are qualified to handle child custody cases."
Go back to your lawyer and start the process again. The judge has to do his job and should have behaved proffessionally. Make sure you get lawyer for child who will act in the best interests of your child. Keep records of all conversations and visitations your child has with the Dad. Good luck!!
No not with child abuse, but child endangerment. She will be charged with abuse if she abuses her child! (i am a law enforcement officer)
