Driving without a license and under suspension?

Depending on the stage the court is in, the court may allow another pretrial for your brother to get a valid driver's license. The warrant is issued any time a person fails to show up to court. If a person is facing criminal charges, they should attend every court hearing. Hiding your head in the sand is never an answer.

Ohio Bankruptcy

Each individual person can file bankruptcy separately in Ohio. There is no requirement to file together for bankruptcy. When 1 person files for bankruptcy on a jointly owned debt, the other, non-filing party may be responsible for the debt.

We have a lot of credit card debt, we have never been late on our house payment. We do not want to loose it.

First, it is unclear what type of bankruptcy you may be considering. Generally, there are 2 types of bankruptcy for the average consumer: Chapter 7 and Chapter 13.
