Can or is a filing for declaratory judgment an option in clarifying the authority of probation dept in relation to what a probationer can and cant do IN employment or educationally when there is none?

No it is not. It is the wrong use of this type of legal motion.

My ex husband has been sitting in jail for almost two years for a child rape. How long could it be before he gets charged and suffers for this crime?

The answer depends on the laws in your country and the details. You need to consult with an attorney who can review the case and explain the status to you. You could also visit the local prosecutor's office and ask to speak with an advocate who could explain the process to you.

In the United States people who are arrested cannot be held for an unreasonable amount of time without being charged by the prosecutor. In the US your ex-husband cannot have been held in prison for two years without being charged. Every state as well as the federal government has a speedy trial statute that requires a defendant to be brought to trial within a specified time after indictment, generally a year or less. That time is extended by pre-trial motions, discovery needs and other issues that arise in any pre-trial setting implicating the interests of both parties. If the government has moved for a continuance of the trial, either the defendant must agree with it or the speedy trial clock keeps running. One would need to check the individual state statutes for any exceptions. The government cannot keep someone in jail pre-trial for as long as it is advantageous for the prosecution.

In most states prosecutors have 72 hours to bring charges. Once the charges have been brought there is an arraignment hearing. The U S Constitution guarantees the right to an attorney but you need to specifically request it during initial questioning. It up to the individual to see that their constitutional rights are enforced.

Child rape cases are no different than other criminal cases and the same requirements of proof, rules of evidence, in-court testimony of witness, etc., apply. The United States Constitution applies to these cases in the same way it applies to all others.

Can you subpoena a judge in a civil case behind false arrest?

Inappropriate language can often have dire consequences, depending on the circumstance.

In countries such as Thailand, shouting or using epithets of foul language is not only socially offensive it can result in an arrest. Speaking disrespectfully of the Thai Royal family can have the same result.

In the United Kingdom, foul language, along the lines alluded to in the question, can result in an arrest, when it's used towards or in the presence of a police officer. It is considered a breach of the peace.

Social protocols vary drastically by region, circumstance and social mores. The most prudent path is always to speak with respect and caution in any situation. This often leaves a far more powerful lasting impact upon the intended recipient.

Who can be stopped from seeing your child?

A judge can stop anyone from seeing your child including you. If a parent need to be kept away from a child the judge can see to that but there has to be good reasons to. Anyone else is up to the parents to decide. Some states have rights for grandparents to see their grandchild. But that is as far as it goes for relatives.

Is law critical to civil society?

YES, this law is critical to a civil society in that people with both medical and mental health issues will benefit from medical marijuana. That is an educated statement. Uneducated statements would include, but are not limited to, "Then everyone will be smoking it., Then we might as well open up the boarders., Well, what message are we sending our children?". So, this is what I would say to those statements, educate yourself - please. It would not only benefit you, but also the society you live in. Oh, by the way, your children, depending on their age, smoke it anyway - and it's probably laced with some kind of other drug or includes something like parsley in it. Thank you and May God Bless you and yours.
