I’m in relationship with someone that is 27 and my age is 17 I have a social worker coming down tomorrow will there be any trouble if I said his real age

Statutory rape applies if you are under the age of 17. If you were 17 when the relationship began there should not be an issue.
How would one best fight a possession of controlled substance and child endangerment case ?
How would one best fight a possession of controlled substance and child endangerment case ?
My girlfriend had been arrested about two weeks ago on suspension of being in possession of a controlled substance and child endangerment. cops forced their selves into her home without asking and directly went to her bedroom in search of drugs. as fails yes they did find some drugs. but they were in a common area of her room to be said they could of been anyone’s or even police planted. we were able to bond her out of jail and she has been following the guidelines of her bond agreement. Wednesday of last week she was in the hospital for an illness, and ended up showing up to the CPS office for a urine analysis bout 5 to 10 minutes before office hours were closed. The CPS employee at the time manning the front desk wouldn’t allow her to take her UA and told her to leave. She did have paperwork stating and proving that she was in the hospital, but he still refused her from taking the UA. Now, i think he has reported as a failed test due to non showing up. we would like legal help if possible but also would like guidance to how to fight the case if needed by ourselves.
Justin’s Answer
No lawyer will be able to condense years of education and experience into a few sentences to read online. The best way to fight this is with an experienced criminal defense attorney. Stop putting the facts of the case online for anyone to read.

Both of us have drug possession charges and all charges are out of state of Missouri where we are currently under supervision at.
Justin’s Answer
I am assuming the terms of probation/parole prevent both of you from associating with felons/ misdemeanants currently under supervision, so probably not.

Whats a open felony
I have an open felony right now that happen tree years ago and I was wanting to know why they still have it open when I was not charged with nothing at the time it had happen and I am wanting to know why it’s open and why they have summons me to court for after all this time ?

If you have an open felony, you may have a warrant and not know about it. Otherwise, charges have yet to be filed, that is not unusual: the statute of limitations for felonies is years long.
Can my 11 year old take a lie detector test?
Can my 11 year old take a lie detector test?
My 4 year old is telling me that my 11 year old put his peepee in his butt. Now he’s saying my 11 year old told him to open his mouth so he can put his peepee in his mouth. My 11 year old lie’s so much it’s hard for me to believe him. At first I thought my 4 year old was just making up stuff but he said it again and add some new stuff. So can my 11 year old take a lie detector test?
Justin’s Answer
You can ask, but lie detector tests are generally unreliable. If your child has been abused, you must report it or face felony charges yourself.

It’s quite possible, but no one can tell you how to do it here. Stop posting facts of your case online and find an experienced defense attorney near you. You can start with the “Find a Lawyer” button at the top.

Will the bracelet come off if im referred to community service or probation? Btw its 2 misdemeanors and a class e felony. But im looking forward to getting it reduced to a misdemeanor aswell
Justin’s Answer
No one can give you an estimate of the outcome without knowing more about your case. You will have to contact a defense attorney directly.

How do you fight a domestic violence charge ?
How do you fight a domestic violence charge ?
My husband has been arrested and charged with domestic violence. He is being accused of choking my oldest daughter. She has recently been getting into alot of trouble with lying to the police, running away and stealing. We were about to send her away for help and now comes this accusation. She never told me personally of this incident and i have major doubts. Where do we start with his defense?
Justin’s Answer
You start by hiring a lawyer. No lawyer can condense years of training and experience into a few sentences for you to read. More importantly, if you try to help on the case you will be guilty of practicing law without a license.
How does my ex get out a false statement charge?
How does my ex get out a false statement charge?
My ex went through a rough time with her husband and needed a place to stay. I let her stay with me. She has a drinking problem and calls the police a lot. One night she she called stating I had hit her. She called multiple times and on the last visit from the police she said I didn’t actually hit her and she was arrested. Can I help her or is she in trouble?
Justin’s Answer
If the police or prosecutor contact you, you can request that they not press charges, otherwise, it is out of your hands. You do not get to decide whether charges proceed.
Me ex has an ex parte on me claiming she is terrified of me. We share on the title a minivan that she came to my home and took.
Me ex has an ex parte on me claiming she is terrified of me. We share on the title a minivan that she came to my home and took.
Can she violate her own ex parte and come to home to take the vehicle while I’m sleeping? Can I petition to have the ex parte dropped since clearly I’m not a threat to her? The claims she made on the ex parte had no evidence backing them more did I ever hurt her. Why should I have an ex parte on my record that allows her to come to my home?
Justin’s Answer
She does not have an ex parte; YOU do. So there is nothing for her to violate. You must appear in court to fight the ex parte. I suggest hiring a lawyer to go with you.
Should I get a license in another state before my home state revokes my license for 10 years and I can’t get a hardship license?
Should I get a license in another state before my home state revokes my license for 10 years and I can’t get a hardship license?
I got a dwi in Missouri on my Missouri license 03/11/08 when I was 19 years old, and 1 while living in Midland, TX., no license at all, 9/13/08, when I 20 years old. I did not drive from 3/11/08 until I got my Missouri license again in 2015. After 9 1/2 years with nothing against me whatsoever I made a bad decision while working in Texas. I got a DWI for marijuana, no alcohol on blood test, Feb. of 2018, in which Texas considered it a 3rd dwi so it was a felony.
If only 2 were on my Missouri license, will Missouri still revoke my license for 10 years and make it impossible for me to get a hardship license so I can work?
My driving privilege was suspended for a year in Texas, but Missouri has obviously never been notified as I have no suspension in Missouri, nothing shows up when checked, even during the suspension.
Is it possible Missouri can still find out and revoke my license for 10 years? Since my suspension is over should I get a license in another state? I hate living in fear all the time that my license will be taken away for 10 years and I’ll be unable to work with no transportation since I live in the country.
Justin’s Answer
If you apply for a license in a new state, it will be fraudulent since you know you are suspended in another. Missouri honors suspensions from other states and lately they have been finding and enforcing them. A quick Google tells me Texas has “occupational/Restricted Use Licenses”. You should contact a Texas attorney about that.
