A friend of mine was 15, and her boyfriend was 19, when her parents charged the boyfriend with statutory rape, and filed a restraining order against him. I believe he was given 5 years of probation, and not any jail time to my knowledge. Six years later, my friend is now 21, the guy 25, and they’ve recently gotten back together again. I personally did not know until recently that there was a restraining order put against him, but I along with my friend and her boyfriend assumed it had been expired after these 6 years. Apparantly, the boyfriend was pulled over for a traffic ticket a few weeks back, and the officer informed him that he had a restraining order against him still. My friend then went to the local court house a few days ago to find out the official status of that restraining order. When she went to the specialized department of restraining orders, and gave the clerk the information needed, the clerk said the restraining order was “pending in court”, and when she asked the clerk what that meant, the clerk said it meant the restraining order was there “forever”. The clerk was very rude, probably because of her own opinion to the charge, and didn’t help her further than that. The restraining order was filed by her mother, as well. I understand parents can sign in their child’s name if they’re underage, but I’m not specifically sure if this was that case. My friend said her mother filed it, so I assumed she used her name and not my friend’s name.

Even though my friend did not file the restraining order, it was filed for her behalf only. Being that she is legally an adult, and the restraining order is for her, does she have any power in lifting the restraining order? If she does or does not, what exactly has to be done to remove it?

And just to clarify, are restraining orders only effective in the county it is issued in? Or is this for the whole state/country?

April 2009 fire in side A of dueplex, totaled unit. side B damage was minimal
May 2009 permit is issued for side A. work valued at 80K
June 2009 permit is issued for side B. work valued at 13k
Oct 10 2009, I rent Side A. unaware of extent of fire. Unit is clean and new.
Oct 20 2009 discover soot blowing out air ducts
Oct 23 2009 Final inspection on unit B.Thru 2010, I am finding thinks wrong w/ unit. Mgr basicly skirts around issues but eventually fixes them.
In Oct 2010 I call the Building Dept and discover that Permit A was never signed off. (cert of occupsncy not issued)
In November 2010 I make request for proof of cert.
In December I give notice that I wont pay rent on an illegal unit.
Evection process, I lose at unlawful detainer hearing but win at request for new trial because owner clsined permit B was good for unit A. I show judge that Permit A (the correct permit for the unit) was never signed off.
Judge has allowed me 30 day to get subopeanas etc. to proof that in fact unit is illegal.

Now: the Plantiff just sent me a “REQUEST FOR DISMISAL” that was ‘stamped endoresed’ by the clerk. (not ‘filed’) She had a letter to me saying that there would be no trial. I went to free aid at court house, he said that the clerk told him just then that there was still a trial.
I have all the proof and codes. THe plantiff committed perjury and the judge senses it.
My question is:
I have seen posts saying I can get back all my rent. where is the code or cases to back this up?
I am uot $1000 in legal fees, and of course being forced to move because they lied to the judge about the permit.
I don’t think that the judge can or will award back rent. he will say that the unit is illegal since 10-2009. Where do i go for damages?

I filed an uncontested no-fault DIY divorce in NY and received Judgment of Divorce last week. When I tried to file the Notice of Entry, the clerk said I needed to bring proof of serving the Judgment to my ex. This contradicts what I have been able to discern from searches. The clerk would not detail what constituted “proof”

Could you please help me list the steps/procedures for correctly filing Notice of Entry. I am in NY county in NY state.

Thank you in advance.

On Sunday night, I got into an argument with a co-worker at a bar. I openly admit that I was very intoxicated and was not going to drive home. I then had called my sister and was walking down to the local convenient store to wait for her to get there. On arriving at the convenient store, the clerk and I got into a verbal argument and he asked me to leave as I tried to explain it was freezing cold outside and I was just trying to wait for a ride and stay warm. I then walked outside, waited for a few minutes and went back inside to try to make some sort of apology. Immediately on re-entering the clerk pointed a can of pepper spray in my face and emptied the entire can on my upper body and face. He called the police and they arrested me on a previous FTA but I was not charged with any crime. It is now 2 days later and I can barley see what I am even typing. Do I have any legal action or civil case? I feel like this has to be assault but my parents aren’t really helping me. I feel I need to do something soon because I know the store has the surveillance footage and I think it will help me make my case that this was beyond necessary. The lasting effects from the spray are still prominent now 48 hours later. From what I read about pepper spray and mace is that is shouldn’t last longer than 6 hours generally. This leads me to believe that this was probably some foreign product that is also illegal. I just don’t see how someone can mace someone else over those circumstances, when I never tried to hurt him or threaten him.

Hi there,

I have a hearing coming up in Virginia in which I will be asking the judge for a court order to remove the non biological father’s name from the FLORIDA birth certificate.

Since I am doing this Pro Se I have been trying to find out all the information I will need ahead of time so I am as prepared as I can be.

The question is, on the Florida Vital statistic website there is a court form in which you can fill out regarding the name of the child and what is to be changed on the birth certificate and at the bottom of said form is the place for the Clerk/Judge to sign off on. Is this something I can or should attach to my motion or is that not allowed since it’s from the state of Florida?

I appealed a Final order of dissolution on the basis that due process was denied. I was prevented from calling witnesses and my lawyer was denied a continuance to prepare. He was hired ten hours before the final hearing. I do not currently have an attorney. Shared parental responsibility was denied and supervised visitation was ordered without cause. In addition, she was awarded attorney fees without financial affidavits or testimony and she has consistently interfered with the father-son relationship. They also gave her all my property after 18 months of marriage. The need for transcript was waived by the District Court of Appeals and the record was delayed until after the briefs were filed because the Clerk of Court failed to follow the rules. As all the case law is on my side, I want to further appeal it. The local District Court of Appeal entered “Per curiam affirmed” meaning that my appeal was denied. Now I want to get a written opinion as to why. Since the precedent was solidly in my (and my son’s) favor, I am guessing it must be because of a technicality.
Question: Do I need to file a Motion for Rehearing, or Clarification or Certification or all the above? Can they be combined? Do I need to reintroduce the case precedents in the motion?

I filed an application for child support services with the Department of Revenue in Orange County, Florida, in October of 2009. My case falls under paternity because my ex is not listed on my son’s birth certificate.

My case was turned over to the county’s legal team in February, and the case was filed in court. At the time the case was filed, my ex’s last name was entered into the system incorrectly. There was an assigned attorney listed on my case with a phone number, so I contacted her office to address the misspelled name and was told to take the issue up with the Clerk of Court by whoever answered the phone. I have sent a letter to the Clerk of Court to address the name issue but have not heard anything back yet.

On 2/12/2010, a summons was issued for my ex. It came back as unserved on 4/14/2010. My ex works a job with unusual hours. I know all the information on him – times and where he works, when he’ll be home, etc, but because I don’t interact with anyone regarding my case, I haven’t had a chance to share this information other than where he works.

I understand that an alias summons will be issued in a few months. However, my ex is moving right around that time, and I am afraid that the alias summons will go unserved as well.

My questions are:
1 – What, if anything, can I do to help this process along?
2 – Can I hire a process server myself even though the case is being handled by the county?
3 – What happens if the alias summons and additional summons are unserved? Will my case eventually be dismissed if they cannot serve my ex?
4 – Could the last name being spelled wrong have anything to do with the summons being returned unserved? (The online record system has no information other than it was unserved.)

Thank you for all your help.

I would like to know can the respondent/defendant motion for a protective order to be dismissed in Georgia. I was told by the Clerk of Courts the Petitioner is the only one can motion for dismissal. The Respondent can’t communicate with the Petitioner due to the Protective Order in place. What can be done so I can get on with my life as she has?
