Go talk to an attorney experienced in foreclosure laws. There are many laws, both Federal and State, that are designed to protect you and keep you in your house. There are ways to reduce your mortgages or even wipe out your second mortgage. Both Federal and State laws have changed dramatically in the last two months, offering much greater protection to homeowners in distress. Talk to someone who is keeping up on those laws and can give you appropriate advice. There are many options...

It will be next to, if not completely, impossible for you to file suit against CPS. CPS sees this kind of accusation every single day. For that reason California has granted CPS very powerful immunities from civil liability. In other words, they are typically not civilly liable for damages suffered as a result of their own negligence. Kinda sucks. That having been said, the procedure for filing a lawsuit against CPS would likely require you to first file a government tort claim with CPS...

Adding to Mr. Beyersdorf's statement -- you have to also understand that the police enjoy various immunities from suit. It's not that attorneys are afraid of suing the police. Far from it. We just recognize that most lawsuits against the police fail miserably because of the legal immunities the police enjoy. A LOT of people think they have great cases when in fact they do not. If you've already spoken to more than lawyer, and nobody wants your case, then it probably means you simply have...

Basically, the D.A. on the case is mostly in agreement with you. However, since he or she answers to his/her superior, it makes it harder for the D.A. to agree to a complete dismissal. The plea in abeyance is a great compromise in circumstances such as yours. All you have to do is not commit any similar crimes in the next six months and then the case will get dismissed. If you attorney is pushing you to take the deal, then you probably should listen to your attorney.

In California, the family court has no jurisdiction to terminate parental rights absent an agreement. Even if the court could, failure to pay child support is insufficient reason to terminate a parent's rights. Your only option is to get your ex to sign off on such a stipulation. If he agrees to sign off on his parental rights, I would highly suggest you hire an attorney to do the paperwork.

Challenging a judge is going to be practically impossible. As I see it you have two best courses of option: 1) hire an attorney right now; and 2) talk to the news media (with the help of your passionate attorney.) There is a ton of corruption and dysfunction in the family system. It needs to be exposed but there is no way you can do it alone. Find an attorney who has the passion and determination to take on such a broken system. Good luck.

Depends on which stage of the proceedings you are at. If you have just been served and you have not yet filed an answer, then you can file your answer in superior court and allege retaliation as an affirmative defense. If you have already been evicted, then your legal options can really only be explored by going to talk to an attorney in your area experienced in evictions.

The entire building, including the front door, belong to the landlord. You are not permitted to modify it. Put the original door back or risk being evicted. Although it may seem silly or misguided, the bottom line is that the front door is not yours to replace to begin with. The ladnlord can evict you for modifying the structure in this manner.
