What is the consequence for shoplifting in Virginia?

Depending on the value of the goods that were stolen - the charge could be either a misdemeanor or a felony.

A criminal record. Punishment will depend on what legal jurisdiction you're in. But you could be looking at fines, doing community work, restrictions on movement or times you can go out etc. It will also mean that the police are more likely to come to you if there are other crimes in the area or where you work. It can mean not being able to get a job or even losing a job in future if your employer finds out you have a record.

A criminal record will stay with you for life. Some states have some system were you don't have to declare convictions after a certain time but there are usually many exceptions. If, in the future you want to work in a security job, work in a bank, work with children or other vulnerable people. Then you may have to declare your conviction.
Like any arrest, it depends on your previous record and the severity of the crime. It can range anywhere from probation to jail time.

How does a minor become emancipated?

First, you have to be at least 16. You file a petition with the court. Your parents/guardian receive a copy of the petition and a summons to appear at the hearing. Once the hearing is held, the court can issue an emancipation order if it's determined that emancipation is in your best interests and you have demonstrated the ability to manage your financial affairs, including proof of employment or other means of support (can not be public assistance) and have provided proof of housing. Even if the court grants the order, your parents can appeal it. And the emancipation order can be rescinded if your circumstances change (ie you become homeless or lose your means of support)

That's a very brief summary of the process--there's actually much more involved than that.

Can two 16-year-olds get married in the state of Virginia?

No, sadly enough the State of Virgina will not permit such an act because neither of the two partners is of a legal, consenting age. In other words the stae will consider them to be children. However if a crime is committed of great offense, then the 16 year olds can be tried as an adult to the maximum punishment. Isn't the law fickle?

Sorry about the bad news,

Kevin

With parental approval, 16-year-old's can marry in VA.

  • There were the crime scene investigators and law enforcement.
  • There was the medical staff that treated the survivors.
  • There were the forensic investigators.
  • There were the families that buried their loved ones.
  • There were the janitors that cleaned up the mess.
  • There were crisis counselors.
  • There was the state review panel which issued a report.
  • There was the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund which wants it remembered.
  • There were the media and they surely numbered in the thousands.

As the other person said everything is correct but one item the janitors we not the ones that clean up the mess it was a team of people cleaned up everything they clean up crime scenes on a daily bases. If the janitors were to clean up the mess the school would have never been able to keep classes going. OSHA is a govt group that works with many different things and the cleaning up of crime scenes is in deed one of them. OSHA would have never let the janitors clean up the mess there not trained to pick up blood and brain tissue and other bodily fluids.

Any wife can file for divorce in any state, any time - in accordance with that state's laws regarding "reason" for wanting the divorce. I think a spouse in prison is a good reason. With "no fault" divorce common in most states, you don't need a reason, just the money to pay the attorney!

Is it legal in Virginia to live with your boyfriend if you have joint custody of a child with someone else?

Difficult as it is to believe Virginia is one of the few states which still have existing cohabitation laws and sometimes enforce them. Virginia Code 18.2-345 makes the living together of unmarried persons a Class 3 misdemeanor for a first offense and if the offense is repeated it becomes a Class 1. If someone chose to make trouble it is quite possible they could alert authorities to the situation. It is not possible to predict exactly what action authorities might take if any. I Googled the code but the first part was crossed out (not sure why that didn't copy with the text) Has this law been changed?
