Is there any way that while I was driving away they took my license plate number and put theft on my record?

Answered 10 years and 7 months ago by Kevin Hunter Pate (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Criminal Law
If you are charged, you are notified, either by mail or by arrest. Sometimes for the latter, they are not in a partiocular rush. To put your mind to ease, you can check the applicable court docket to determine if a charge has been filed against you. Then check it again in a few weeks. And you already realize this, while stealing at all is wrong, stealing in the presence of an officer is simply being dead stupid. You got lucky. There are legal ways to get food if you lack funds to purchase funds. Avail yourslef of these next time.... Read More

If I am the custodial parent, can my ex husband enroll our daughter in a school in his district?

Answered 10 years and 8 months ago by Kevin Hunter Pate (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Child Custody
You, as the custodial parent, can unenroll her, enroll her where she is suppose to be enrolled, put on file she is not to be unenrolled without verifying custodial status, and then advise your ex it is done.. Once you show the school the appropriate court paperwork, he won't be able to play the game twice. Fix the issue, if it is the only one, rather than getting bogged down in court over one matter with a reasonably simple fix.... Read More

Will the biological father's sudden interest to communicate affect the adoption process?

Answered 10 years and 8 months ago by Kevin Hunter Pate (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Child Custody
Perhaps, but the fact also remains there has been an absence of support. However, courts can be hesitant when the biological parent is making a sincere effort. Then again, the interest may be feigned and is designed to encourage a concession to wive all past due support, as, after all, a willful failure to pay support is punishable by contempt and even incarceration until the contempt is purged....

What does it mean when the DA files motion to revoke suspended sentence?

Answered 10 years and 8 months ago by Kevin Hunter Pate (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Criminal Law
It means the state believes there was something you were supposed to do, and did not do it, or did not report as to it being completed, during your suspension period. Or, that you caught a new charge, which was something you were not supposed to do while on a suspended sentence. It means you need counsel, sooner rather than later, to see if he/she can help minimize the potential of you going to prison. It means you are likely to be picked up again soon, if you do not first obtain counsel and arrange a surrender and either a new o.r. bond or do a walk-through and bond out. Time to start contacting counsel. As in now, not next week, not tomorrow.... Read More
