Attorney answers:
If adjudication is withheld are you still considered convicted in florida
Assuming you make it through probation without violating, which can cause that withhold to become a conviction, you are not a convicted felon and can own a gun. You need to consider your probation obligations though, typically you cannot own a gun while on probation, please check that out with your PO

Attorney answers:
What is a stay away order if I call my boyfriend on his cell is that violating? What can the court do to me in that case?
Typically the stay away order, or injunction, would only be about him contacting you, not the other way around. If there is any order that says you need to stay away from him, definitely do not do it. I have never heard of a lawyer making this kind of request, and I am not sure how much good it will do...at any rate don't let anyone talk you into saying something that is not true or pressuring you to just say something to help him.

Attorney answers:
Can my 14 year old son change his name in the state of florida without his fathers permission?
Technically yes, but not without giving him notice and an opportunity to object, then the Judge would decide what is in your son's best interests, taking what he wants into account.

Attorney answers:
My father died when i was 15, i am now 36. I have never seen his will and wonder if i was entitled to anything.
One place to start may be in the county of his death at the probate clerk's office, where there should be a file that gives you some information including if he had a will.

Contact a lawyer here first about getting an income deduction order, which ultimately will go to his employer and money will come out of his paycheck. There are many lawyers in your area who can help you with this.

Attorney answers:
Joint custody(equal) trying to get full custody. new information. Is there anything I can do in court to speed up geting custody
Typically I end up telling people that the cost and frustration of trying to change custody arrangements is more than you are likely to get out of it. Most of the time they would require a GAL and tens of thousands of dollars. The Judge is just as likely to think the adjustment disorder is due to both sides than just one side. It is expensive, long, and modifications are not granted all that often. Putting everyone in therapy is more likely to be the Judge's decision, to try to solve the...

Attorney answers:
I would like to pursue custody of my girls, mom has many men spending the night and recently birthed a child from one of them.
The harsh reality is that it takes a lot in the State of Florida to get a change of residence for kids. A substantial change of circumstances from the time of the prior order is needed and then a showing that it is also in the kids best interests. A lawyer in your area will know better what the judges there do. Kids that young are almost never allowed to testify, and a Guardian ad Litem might be helpful to relay their wishes, but keep in mind that adds another $7500 or so to an already very...

Attorney answers:
If the mother and i agree on shared custody in the state of FL, will i have to pay child support? we were never married.
The child support laws have changed a lot this year in Florida, including how a judge will "impute" income if there is not sufficient financial documentation. An agreement is always the best and cheapest way to deal with things, but make sure you take care of details, like who gets the tax deduction and all of the necessary items for a Parenting Plan. The child support formula takes into account both incomes and number of overnights with each parent. I have articles on these subjects on my law...

Attorney answers:
I've been separated for almost six months but I have proof of residence in florida since august so I have to wait until february
I totally agree, if he convinces a court there to excuse service because he cannot find you, he could get a default order and everything he is asking for there. A florida court will follow that order also if he gets it.
