Of course they do not need a test to go to trial on a DUI/DWAI case. You can object to "destruction of evidence" but it is pretty technical argument and you really need a lawyer. If you qualify - have the public defender represent you. if you don't, find a knowledgeabel DUI lawyer to take on that issue for you. It will be worth the money you spend, I suspect. Having a med card won't help with the DUI, nor open container.... Read More

Your calculation of two is the proper number in calculating the affidavit of support for you. You cannot be counted twice, and so your husband should ignore the line "if you are currently married, count 1  for your spouse."

Your sponsor could explain in a statement to U.S.C.I.S. that he was not working during those two years, and supply any proof that he has supporting his statement.

I suggest consulting an expert attorney in landlord tenant law directly.  BUT, a victim of domestic violence can terminate a lease if done due to a domestic violence situation. CRS 38-12-402..     A landlord’s ability to evict a person can be impacted if the tenant is a victim of domestic violence. CRS 13-40-107.5(c)(I). Seems like you may have to allow the female to break the lease. Seems to me that if the male cannot pay the rent on his own, you can evict him based on that once he cannot pay. If the lease allows an eviction for "verbal abuse" (I'd be surprised if it does) and you are comfortable it actually occured, then maybe you can evict for that. It will depend on the language of the lease.  I don't know how you "prevent having a vacant property" as it likely will be vacant until you can re-rent it. ... Read More

He can demand whatever he wants, but that doesn't mean that you are obligated to comply.  If the facts are as you write, you have no such obligation.  Of course, unless you have all this in writing, it may be his word against yours in court, and there is no guarantee that the judge/jury will believe you....

Go to the jail in the county where the warrant was issued. With no bond warrants, you must appear in front of a judge prior to having a bond set. This is common in domestic violence cases, but other cases can be the same. In Boulder, if you turn yourself in before 630AM, you will be on the same day's docket and could bond out without spending the night in jail. Different counties are different. You can call the jail to find out the process for you.... Read More
