Should i go visit my ex husband in jail?
Why not..let him know you still care and think about him. Just because people can't be married doesn't mean they can't be friends.
Should I visit my brother in prison?
My brother has a sex offence charge and is serving 18 months. I visited him with my parents before Christmas last year. I'm not going to say the experience was great. His birthday is this week and my parents want me to go visit him; this time I'd be on my own due to our schedules. My boyfriend is also pressuring me however, it's to NOT visit him. Should I go support my brother or stay away from a prison?
Would you let a 14 year old girl visit her mom in jail for eight months for check fraud or is that too young?
Face-to-face contact is almost always better because the two can read each other's facial expressions and body language in addition to hearing each other's words and tone of voice. Check fraud is not a crime that inherently poses a risk of harm to children and presumably the daughter is not the victim of the crime of which the mother was convicted. So there is no reason to prohibit personal contact. The goal is to promote the parent-child relationship, despite the mother's relatively short-term incarceration. The penalty for violating the law in this instance is a period of incarceration, not the dissolution of family relationships—and the daughter has not been convicted and shouldn't have to suffer any greater loss of contact with her mother than necessary.I am in no way condoning the crime of which this mother was convicted, or any crime for that matter. But we do hav a system under which the punishment is expected to fit the crime. A seven-month sentence suggests that the crime didn't warrant a stiffer penalty. Moreover, since the crime was not one for which long-term removal from society was deemed appropriate, it makes a lot of sense to keep family and other positive relationships intact so that the mother can successfully reenter society and resume the parenting of her daughter, ideally without committing further crimes. This is in the daughter's best interests.
Can you go to jail for being disrespectful?
I'm pretty sure that the only way you would be thrown in juvie or jail is that there would have to be actual bodily harm that you have caused. Usually, this is a threat thrown around in order to get a teen to try and behave, but with little results, as I have seen here. I have never heard of anyone being thrown in jail simply because a teen is rebelling her parent. That's just absurd. It's not the best idea to blatantly disrespect your parent, though, simply because something isn't going your way. That is also not solving anything. Try sitting down with your parent in a neutral location (restaurant, cafe, park) where people are present, and try to talk to them. The neutral location will give none of you the upper hand in an argument, giving you both an even playing field in terms of having an argument or discussion. Let them know just how you feel about what kind of situation you are in, and be sure to be receptive to what your parent has to say. This is key here! If you go on defense and close yourself off, she will take this as a sign that you are going to continue to rebel, and she will continue to send threats of jail. Try to be reasonable, understanding, and not sarcastic. As would be the common fallback, don't do it. You aren't doing anyone any favors. I'm not saying you are in the wrong, but you definitely are not making things right. Good luck!
Can you go to jail for punching your father in the face?
Don't do it. Ull get an assault charge or worse. He could fall and hit his head and die, ull go to jail for manslaughter or murder and ur life s over. Hope u never him and make a promise to urself that u ll be better than him and not use violence to solve conflicts. Hurting others doesn't solve anything ot teach the other a lesson. It just makes u look bad and fills u with regret.
Can you go to jail for yelling at your mom.?
Are you under the age of 18? If so, you are required to obey the reasonable and lawful commands of your parents. Failure to do so, or yelling at a parent, or being a brat, can be charged as the juvenile offense of Incorrigible. Every one of the 50 US states has a statute on this, although they may call it something else. It's a status offense, which is the lowest level of offense for a juvenile, but it's still an offense. (Status offense means it is an offense because of your status as a person under the age of 18.) You could be charged for this.
Will u go to jail if you hit a parent?
You are in a very tricky spot. Most authorities are reluctant to get involved in parental discipline issues unless the corporeal punishment seems excessive to whoever responds. Yelling you can't do anything about, but that CAN reach the level of emotional abuse. Physical things are a little more clear-cut. If she causes a cut or a bruise, take a picture with your cell phone, and either call the cops then or tell a school counselor the next day. By law, schools are required to report suspected abuse cases to the authorities. Just be sure you are not overreacting. People at your age do not like being told what to do, even though they still need parental direction. This causes conflicts, which is normal at your age. It is the parental hitting that concerns me here. At your age? That's not normal. Not much you can do about that though unless it is documented first either via video or willing witnesses. Don't hit back. Take care of this before you reach the explosion point. Be sure you aren't over reacting, then do what you need to do with documentation and reaching out for help. I will repeat, do NOT hit your mom, it will put you in the wrong and you could BOTH go to jail for domestic abuse instead of just her. At age 14, the law will most likely take your side of things so long as you have not provoked it, have documentation of the attack, and do not retaliate. Make very, very sure that you are all on the right side of that situation before you call for help. This is not a disagreement that you want to lose. And it sounds like it needs you to address it before it becomes worse for you. .
If my ex-wife who is the custodial parent of our daughter goes to jail for drunk driving, does custody immediately revert to me? Could I just go pick my daughter up with all her stuff wherever she is at?
Custody does not automatically revert to anyone, ever, if there is a court order unless it is so specified in the order.In an emergency perhaps CPS would take custody and allow you to take the child, but if you are not custodial you must ask the court to change its order. But your ex is not in jail for more than a few hours usually, so that’s not the issue.And while a DUI charge may seem to you like a no-brainer for a change of custody in fact your ex might well beat the charge; and even a conviction doesn’t automatically make them unsuitable to be parent, nor does it make you more suitable. Obviously we don’t know all the facts but you could have five DUI’s in your background, so this wouldn’t make you a better choice automatically.There are reasons one parent gets custody; there have to be reasons to change that. And only the court is going to make that decision.
