If one person plead guilty and the other one had no knowledge of the crime that was about to be committed can he be charged too and convicted?

Answered 4 years and 2 months ago by attorney Tristan Nicolas Legrande   |   1 Answer
Multiple parties can be held criminally responsible for a crime (the law of parties). If you assist in the planning, commission, or flight/covering up of a crime, you are equally responsible. The  district attorney can believe all, some, or none of a confession - as could a jury if he is charged. If your husband has been charged with a felony offense, he should hire a lawyer he trusts.  Good luck.... Read More

I wanted to know if a NCP is able to get out of paying child support just because he is not on birth certificate

Answered 4 years and 2 months ago by attorney Ms. Leslie A. Werner   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Child Support
If you are going through the Attorney General, they will have the court order a DNA test on the presumed father. If he is indeed the father, it doesn't matter whether he signed the birth certificate, he will be required to pay child support and the court will most likely order the birth certificate amended to reflect the kid's paternity.As far as your personal life goes and him bringing up bad things about you, gather as much evidence as you have to the contrary. Unless you are engaging in criminal conduct, it is typically difficult for a father to gain full custody of an infant in Texas....

Can the mother of the child I am sponsoring for the green card, apply for a tourist visa through the child has the green card?

Answered 4 years and 2 months ago by attorney Stephen Arnold Black   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Immigration
If you are filing a petition for the step child, then arguably you are already married to the step child's mother, and if that is the case you can file a green card for both of them simultaneously. Any attempt by the mother to get a tourist visa while you are applying for a green card for your step child would be looked upon as immigration fraud, because obviously the mother would most likely want to remain with her child once she arrives in the United States. You should discuss all the facts of your case with counsel in a private phone consultation... Read More

I was accused of something I didn't do and my accuser didn't see the incident happen that I was accused of. Can I file charges for being falsely acc

Answered 4 years and 2 months ago by attorney Tristan Nicolas Legrande   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Criminal Law
If the charges are still pending you can hire a lawyer to represent you on the charges. Even if the charges are eventually dismissed, you are unlikely to succeed on a lawsuit against someone because you believe you are falsely accused. Charges are dismissed in courts every day; but, defendants don't automatically get a right to sue the police or anyone else because they were accused of the crime. That being said, I am certain you can find an attorney to file a lawsuit for you if you pay a retainer fee up front and ongoing hourly legal fees. But its probably not worth it - just worry about fighting your case. Good luck.... Read More

Answered 4 years and 2 months ago by attorney Leroy Scott, Ph.D., Esq.   |   1 Answer
It is difficult to answer this question without significantly more details. Generally, your home cannot be taken to pay a debt (exceptions, of course, apply). For your other assets, it is harder to give an answer based on the information you have provided.

How do I get my money from a civil trial?

Answered 4 years and 2 months ago by attorney Leroy Scott, Ph.D., Esq.   |   1 Answer
The most important question is whether she has the assets to pay the judgment. If she does, there are a number of legal strategies that could be used to collect on the judgment, depending on the type of assets she has. I would recommend talking to a lawyer about this.
