Carmen’s answer: You need to consult with a Family Law Attorney in your area. It sounds as if your husband did not agree to all the terms and you may need to have another hearing to get it finalized. If you can not afford an attorney, or have a small amount to hire an attorney you can try Legal Aid in your area, or call some other firms to see if they will help finalize your case within that amount, or on a payment plan.

Do juvenile warrants disappear after youth turns 18: can your youth warrant follow you when you turn 18?

Asked over 13 years ago in Juvenile

Carmen’s answer: Until the warrant situation is cleared up - usually by arrest or if you turn yourself in - the warrant will stay active, no matter how old you are at this point. You should hire an attorney that deals with juvenile law in the Ft. Worth area.

If someone had a failure to appear in florida as a minor and now they are 18: I know a person who was a runaway, just recently contacted me for help now that he/she is 18. I was told that he/she has a warrant for failure to appear when he/she was a minor. I did some research and found out that the court loses jurisdiction of the charges once he/she is 19 years old. Not 18. I don't know how true that is either. I was the person's temporary emergency shelter and he/she ran away from my home.

Carmen’s answer: The warrant will remain into effect until the person is either picked up on the warrant or turns themselves in to the authorities - either way, the case will not disappear until this issue gets taken care of property. I would advise that this person go see a FL lawyer that knows juvenile law.
