My daughter,son and myself have been abused for years but my wife, now she turned it around and said i abused her,,,what can i d

Asked by a user in Saint Augustine, FL - almost 2 years ago.

I would honestly need to know more information, but basically there are a couple of things at play here. First, have you reported the prior abuse to authorities? If not, that is going to be detrimental to establishing that abuse actually occurred. Second, were you charged with a crime by grabbing her arm? If so, the criminal system will have to run its course to determine that. The most essential way to protect yourself and children though is through a divorce or a domestic violence...

Is it possible to get probation off of a trafficking charge?

Asked by a user in Lakeland, FL - almost 2 years ago.

There is a minimum mandatory prison time of 5 - 15 years depending on how much the pills weighed. You may be able to "work" off those years by assisting the police but without that, no, you will not be able to get probation in lieu of prison. You may get it after and on top of prison time.

What petition do i need to file to have divorce moved to last county we lived together in?

Asked by a user in Cape Coral, FL - almost 2 years ago.

Much more information is needed to answer this question such as, where is the divorce pending now? Which party lives in the county in which the divorce case is pending now? Why do you want it moved to the last county you lived together in? Is the last county you lived in still in Florida? Good news is that it is possible to have this happen, but without more information I could not accurately answer this question for you. Please consult an attorney regarding this.

My wife has filed for divorce and refuses to allow me to talk via phone to my children. How can I file a petition to stop this?

Asked by a user in Cape Coral, FL - almost 2 years ago.

You would file what is called a Motion for Temporary Injunction which you ask the court to permit you parenting time/communication via telephone at a minimum with your children. File that Motion by asking the court to grant you the injunction and stating why you are entitled to it. Then schedule a hearing with the Judge and go argue it before him/her and they will decide. It is typically standard in divorces that the other party is supposed to attempt to maintain the status quo. If it is really...

How do I stop my wifes boyfriend from having involvement with my children?

Asked by a user in Cape Coral, FL - almost 2 years ago.

The above answer is correct, due to the seriousness of this, you should definitely contact a local attorney who would be able to assist you with much more and would be able to work more with additional details. As a brief overview to at least point you in the right direction, you can stop him from having involvement but you will have some hurdles. First we need to know if you are divorced already or just separated. If you are just separated, then you may need to just call the cops if you...

What is the eviction process in jax fl

Asked by a user in Jacksonville, FL - 7 months ago.

It depends on if there was a lawsuit filed or not. We would need more information to accurately determine the path to proceed. Generally, the evictions are for failure to pay rent. If that is the case, the Landlord must serve a 3 day notice to the tenant to pay the past due rent or vacate the premises. If this is not done, then the landlord may seek ejectment (eviction) and for the past due rents on the lease. The ejectment action is summary in nature, meaning consolidated. You would have...

My sister has requested my presence at a deposition (Florida workmans' comp)...Can the attorneys keep me out?

Asked by a user in Jacksonville, FL - 7 months ago.

Depositions are not public in nature and therefore, the only indiviuals with a right to be in the deposition are the parties and their attorneys. If the parties all agree you can be in there, then there is no problem. Considering the type of case, workers compensation, you are likely to be a witness though and your presence may "taint" your testimony.
