I have a ex parte hearing tomorrow and I'm nervous.?
I have joint custody of my son and I am going to a Ex Parte Hearing tomorrow to see if I can get permission to change my son's school district, its only about 20 miles from the one he's currently in. My ex husband and his wife would not grant my request to change his school, so I am doing it this way. I am very nervous and have no idea what to expect. Can anyone offer me some good advice or what I should bring with me? The change of school is not to spite anyone or anything, it's because I am moving and my son is with me Monday-Friday, with his father having him every other thursday as well. Thanks!
My recent ex-partner gave me money to pay the solicitor to the court, assisting me financially as he had done in the past. Now he’s saying he is taking me to court for the solicitor’s fees and the other things he had paid for me. What are my rights?
I am not an attorney; but you should get one to consult on this issue. But here are my thoughts:Unless you signed something saying you are on the hook for the money he paid you, or has witnesses to such a conversation, then I don’t see how your ex can collect money he “gave” you as an assistance by suing you in court.I assume you have the right to get an attorney and fight any such action in court. You don’t have to pay him until you lose in court, or your attorney settles with him. But I imagine that he is just using the threat of a case to scare you into paying him - if the facts are as you say, he has scant hope of collecting if you don’t back up his claim this wasn’t a “gift,” after all, without any documentation of an agreement.However, if you have not been truthful in your description of the “gift” and there was an oral agreement to repay the “loans” given you - then you are morally and legally wrong not to pay him back - and if this could be proven in court, you could be accused of trying to defraud him of that money. So I would advise you to pursue the correct path and do the right thing by your own understanding of your situation.
Can't show up in court tomorrow "window tinting"?
The officer noticed that your car wasn't street legal due to the excessive tint. He gave you a ticket, on the bottom of the ticket you signed a solemn oath to appear in court or pay the fine in the mail. If you break your oath there will be consequences. In my area, the fine would be increased to the maximum allowed by law, interest and penalties would be added. Your driver's license would be suspended. Fortunately, the court has a procedure you can follow to extend your court date. You just go down 14 days or more in advance and fill out a form. This gives them time to reschedule the officer's overtime shift, saving you even more money. If you refused to follow the procedure, you could probably show up when the court opens and pay your fine. you also might need to bring proof that you peeled off the illegal tint. One other alternative is to ask your parent or guardian to pay the fine for you and bring the proof that the car has been made street legal.
Can I wear capri pants to court?
You may wear anything you want. Remember, your attire and overall appearance send a general statement to the courts. What message do you want to send. Can you wear this? Absolutely. Do I recommend you wear this? Absolutely not. I wore black slacks, a blouse, light blazer, and close toed black dress shoes. Much the same as those working in the court house. My ex wore an ill fitting white tee with a hole in the armpit, and old jeans. I got $125/mo more than I expected. Everything I gave was accepted at face value. All documents and information he gave was researched more. Ex; He forgot his wage information, they contacted his employer to find he earned $400/mo more than he said. I forgot my childcare receipts, they accepted childcare as simply being a reasonable expense for a working mom. The way you present yourself matters.
Can my boyfriend serve my ex custody papers?
No.
Can my ex ignore solicitor letters , what happens if she does?
I am seeing my solicitor tomorrow as my i have 2 children with my ex partner. She left me off the birth certificate of my second child with her but worse still she named another man as father of my first. She has recently made a complaint to the police about me regarding harrassment. I was issued with a written warning but i did not sign and accept it as i did not agree with the warning becaue i felt she was only doing it to harm my chances in court when it came to the kids. I know as soon as she receives these letters she will try to string it out for as long as possible as she wants me to have no further part in their life. How long can she do this for?
How do I wish luck to my husband at court?
“Hope it goes well, honey.”Court hearings, like most human endeavors, are neither aleatory nor meritocratic, but at least in our courts they tend to be more meritocratic than aleatory. If the facts and the law are on your side, “luck” won’t be necessary. Attorneys prepare for most hearings because we know that there is a dance to be danced and knowing your stuff in advance makes a lot of difference. A skillful presentation increases your chances of “winning” a contested point (assuming there’s a reasonable contest to be made; not all contested points are reasonably so).But the other side might make a mistake, or the judge might be in a good mood, and the result might be more favorable than expected. Or you might make a mistake, or the judge might be annoyed, and the result might be less favorable than expected. The appellate process is there to correct “abuse of discretion” but most appeals result in affirmance. So “luck” isn’t necessarily the exact right word, but I can’t say it never plays into the picture either.
