Until they have gathered enough evidence to build a satisfactory case against the defendant. The procedural clock doesn't start running until the defendant is formally arrested and arraigned.
The longer you wait the less seriously they will be taken.
You should file those charges immediately. If you wait, the court will wonder why you waited if the situation was serious enough to file charges. You will not be taken seriously if you continue to live with or spend time with the abuser before filing charges. You should have filed a police report immediately and the police would have taken photos. It is puzzling that you would want to wait to press charges. The longer you wait the less attention you will get.
There is no wait period.
You can never file assault charges. Criminal charges can only be filed by the prosecuting attorney.You can report the crime to the police any time you want. Whether or not it will be prosecuted depends on whether there is sufficient evidence to prosecute. The longer you wait, the less likely sufficient evidence will be available.
how do i file an answer to a lawsuit ?
Assuming it is federal bankruptcy, 8 years, the same in every state.
It's good to wait until after the funeral.
That depends on what the charges are since there is a statute of limitations on many crimes/charges. And, the length of time on that also varies from one crime/charge to another, depending on what the crime/charge is. The only one I know of that has no statute of limitations is murder. Google something like "statute of limitations in (your state) on (the charge)." This should help you get more specific info on what you are looking for.
If it is a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, you have to wait 8 years before you can file it again.
You should file a report right away.
2 years, but a trustee might be able to use the state "look back" period where the bankruptcy court is located.
