I am being charged with theft 1 in deschutes county oregon from 2006 is there a statute of limitations ?

For most felonies, it's three years. But there are exceptions. Ask your attorney to take a look at when the case was actually charged, and also consider a possible motion to dismiss for lack of speedy trial.

Annulument

In Oregon, an annulment is a legal determination that the marriage was void or voidable (as opposed to legally recognized, but then dissolved). Call the Oregon State Bar to speak with an attorney in your area. Many attorneys will not charge for an initial consultation-- or they will charge a very small amount of money and still provide you with very useful information.

Your test worked. Now what is your question? :)

How do i get full custody if the father and i are not married?

Oregon law provides for legal determinations of child custody even if the parents of a child are not married. You will need to file a petition for legal custody in your county. There will be a process through the court and the judge will issue a judgment. The judgment will, among other things, allow for a legal custody determination, parenting time for the non-custodial parent, and child support. You should have an attorney help you with the process. It would likely be well worth the cost...

Family law custody/ support

The Oregon Division of Child Support will do a modification for free every three years, but you'll likely want to do something faster to correct this error. If you file a private modification in circuit court, you may want to have an attorney help you fill out the forms. Call the Oregon State Bar at (503) 684-3763 and they can give you some names of family lawyers in your area.

Family Law

I see that your post is 4 months old so this may or may not be helpful. You should meet with an attorney to seek a modification of the child support. Although the division of child support will do a modification for free, it will likely take 9-12 months to complete. An attorney can likely get it done in 2-3 months. Also, an attorney will be very helpful in being able to argue rebuttal factors. Lastly, another reason to meet with an attorney to discuss this is to determine which state will...

Is there a statute of limitations for a DUI in Oregon State?

Yes, two years. But the statute of limitations won't apply if your daughter was actually charged and she simply never showed up for court. Sometimes the court will issue bench warrants or FTA (Failure to Appear) warrants if they do not have a current address for the defendant or if the defendant fails to show up for court. You should have her meet with an attorney, and have the attorney run a state-wide search for open cases and warrants.

Should I retain a new lawyer for DUI?

Sit down with your current lawyer and tell her your concerns. If she doesn't address them head-on and take corrective measures, fire her and hire a different lawyer. The prosecutor likely won't react one-way or another (unless you go through three or four lawyers, then they might think you're just trying to delay things).

I got dui in 95.thought was reduced to reckless.it was not.can i have it reduced to that now?

Typically prosecutors are barred from reducing DUII charges to Reckless Driving. Unfortunately, traffic crimes are permanent in Oregon (you can't have them removed from your record). Contact the attorney who handled your 1995 DUII to see if perhaps the entry in the judgment was in error. That is likely your best bet.
