from tx: my son 2x convicted felony. he's has 3 agg. robbery & 1 avading charges. he has a court appointed att

I am so sorry to hear. It must be very difficult for you and your family. \nI hate to say this, but if my son had this many charges against him, I would have to let him deal with the consequences. Otherwise, the only thing he would learn is that "mom and dad (or one or the other) will bail me out." I've seen this happen to someone who I am very close to and she is on the verge on losing everything, including her mind, trying to keep her son from dealing with the responsibility of his actions. What happens when mom and/or dad are no longer there to bail him out? When does he start learning responsibility for his actions? Chances are that he will outlive you and if he doesn't learn now, then what happens to him? Not to mention the people he has harmed by committing these crimes. It is harsh, I know, and I'm sorry. I know this has to be extremely painful for you. \nHaving said that, if I were determined to try to help him, what I would do is contact an attorney for a consultation. Many atty's give initial consulations for free. I would contact Legal Services which is for people who cannot afford to hire an attorney and is usually located in the blue pages in your local phone book (if your phone book doesn't have blue pages, I mean the section for government phone numbers). I know in our area they have certain times each week you can call, speak to an atty and ask for legal advice, no charge. \nThe website is for a criminal defense lawyer in Lubbock. Don't know how close you are to him but his site says initial consultation is free.

If you call the police department and ask them they will tell you.  Also calling a family law attorney should get you the answer.  I think most attornies would not charge to answer this question.  You should be able to get a free consultation with an attorney to discuss this.  Be sure to ask about this when you call.  I think you may have waited too long, but I hope not.  Child abuse cases really should never have a time limit to prosecute.  Good luck with this and don't let that slime ruin your life.  Remember the best revenge is living well.  Don't give him another minute of your life after you are done pursuing this matter.  Sadly your mother is even more guilty for not protecting you.

Probably so, although this is not nothing new, this has been going on for years all across the world, shouldn't these companies do more thorough checks? Why report her? This is your child's mom if she goes to jail are you prepared to take on the responsibility of raising your child 27/7, at 3 yrs old this is not a big issue, the child can dispute anything on their credit file that was opened while the child was underage and it will be removed, supposingly it should drop of in 7 to 8 years anyway, if not "what" the child have like 15 years to even apply for credit, leave her alone, what problem is it causing you right now, just knowing it? This is not a life or death situation, and using your child's name to get cable don't make her a bad mom, maybe she's experienced some  financial problems before, and can't go back and fix that, don't turn the cable off because I guaranty you your child watches it faithfully. Peace out and good luck with your decision and remember your child needs both of you.

I am a criminal Justice major, and have gone through the same thing. All you need to do is go down to the court house and say you want to drop it. Besides nothing can be done to him unless you call the police. The only way this would not work is if he has already hit you or the child and he was arrested. Then the state would have taken it from there.

Try talking to him. I am sure he knows you are concerned and will like the opportunity to tell you his side of the story and hopefully put your mind at ease. \n\nYou can't judge from the site. They give the charge but it doesn't give any details. \n\nIf the site says they are still on probation, then you can call your local Department of Corrections Probation office and speak to their supervising officer.

My first suggestion is to talk to a lawyer, the procedure varies from state to state so go to your state website for their court of appeals and look there first. again you Should contact a criminal lawyer in your state. They will be very familiar with the procedure.

Sure the hell is .do you have a court order? let his P.O know if he is not living up to it get help from family services ,he should be getting"hits"which should sent his ass to jail or prison which is where he belongs if he wouldn't take care of his kids.

First off, contact the district attorney's office ASAP. Tell them you want to push for the max sentence for him. Second, tell them withdraw the plea bargain from him and take it to a jury trial. Lastly, if they don't want to heed what you are saying, remind them that the news would be interested in this story.\n\nWith all of that said, you need to hear out the DA as to why this is (only probation) being offered. There may be circumstances that you are not aware of. I can't imagine what, but I have heard of a few that have actually made sense. \n\nBottom line, when this goes to court, you need to be there. I mean any hearing, preliminary hearing, motion hearing, jury trial, or sentencing hearing. Your presence will remind them how serious you are about this. If he is convicted, speak at his sentencing hearing and let the judge know exactly what your daughter had gone through.

Child support and attorney's fees are totally separate. Since you took the mother to court for paternity, you are liable once paternity is established. If she was at fault then she would be the one paying your fees. As for the attorney, if he did not represent you to the best of HIS abilities, then you can report him to your State Bar. If he is found "guilty", he will have to repay the fees that you paid to him, plus a fine. As for your situation, I know here in Texas, you will not be appointed an attorney, no matter how poor you are when it comes to family matters, unless you are being abused and are a child or elderly person (attorney or guardian ad litem).  Now, if you are a criminal, then by all means you are entitled to an attorney at the taxpayers expense. Hope this helped a little.

OK….let’s get to the guts of this issue.\n\nFirst of all, I AM a convicted felon.  I was convicted of a theft after a 4 day trial in 1992.  My conviction – a felony conviction with 8 years probation and 30 days in a “half-way” house.\n\nRegardless of my conviction, everyone….EVERYONE….. has committed a felony.  The real issue is – have you been caught or not?  My mother used to cheat on her taxes in her early 20s.  My father used to drive home from the saloons/bars after work.  My brother, in high school, used to sell small amounts of drugs to the jocks. Today, he is a lawyer.   My college professor admitted to stealing cars as a young punk in the 60s.  EVERYONE, one way or another, has committed one or more felonies.  EVERYONE.  The question is….has everyone been caught?  No.  Of course not.  So some people have the stigma of being “convicted felons” and others, in my opinion, are lucky and get to point the finger as the “felons.”\n\nBut whatever….who really cares.\n\nBut when it comes to getting a job……don’t play the victim.  As a felon, you made someone or something else the victim.  Now that your time in jail or probation has passed you by, don’t even think about complaining.  You are in this mess due to YOUR actions, like it or not.\n\nFelons get jobs all the freaking time.  For a while, after my conviction, I had a slew of jobs – \n\na.Delivering newspapers from 2:30 am to 5:30 am.  ($200 a week)\nb.Washed dishes for $7.00/hour every mid-day.  ($150 a week)\nc.Waited tables as a waiter every evening. ($150.00 a week)\n\nI didn’t sleep much, but three part time jobs paid me $25,000 a year.  I didn’t see my wife much, except on the weekends.  But I made an ‘acceptable’ living and paid my bills.\n\nAfter a while, my paper delivery job collided with my dish washing job, so I got a different job during the day – working as a general laborer for Labor Ready ($30 a day).\n\nWhile working the three jobs, I also applied to numerous job applications in the Sunday paper, on Monster.com and on career builders.com.  Every week or so, I would get a “bite.”  Someone would call or email with interest in hiring me.  I would ask – “What are the requirements?  Drug test?  Background check?  Credit Check?”   Most people would say – “Yes, a background check and drug test.”\n\nBut, you know what?  Sometimes….every now and then, someone would say – \n\n“No….no background check, but we do test all applicants for drugs.”   Once I heard that, I would work very, very, very hard to get that job.\n\nAfter a year of working three jobs and sending resumes, I was hired.  My salary - $32,000.  I said ‘goodbye’ to Labor ready, delivering newspapers….but still waited tables (part time) on weekend evenings.  That gave me another $50.00 a week.  The extra $200.00 a month is great way to pay for pizzas, sushi, renting videos, buying subway sandwiches, postage stamps, etc.\n\nSee?  It can be done.  It merely takes the continuous effort.\n\nStop playing a victim.  You CAN do it.  Never complain or condemn.  Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get to work.\n\nThere are lots of Felons (ex-cons) out there who work every single day.  According to the government, there are 15 million of us.  Being one of the ‘working folks’is EASY.\n\nGet to work!  \n\nDavid\n\nP.S. – I’m not going to say “Good luck” because I believe that you MAKE your own luck.  Don’t ‘have a great day’.  MAKE IT a great day.  And by the way, if your probation and parole are also completed, you can even VOTE in Texas again.

It is a federal felony offense.  You should inform your local postmaster along with the police and let them handle it.

In the state of Missouri, a C felony is punishable 1 to 7 yrs incarceration. I have 3 C felony's for possesion of a controled substance (meth) and a D felony on my record. With the third C felony, the courts did indict me and because I then had three C's, charged me with Prior & Persistant Which is a B felony and carries 5-15 yrs doc.\n I was lucky and had a decent lawyer, he got the Prosucuting Attn to agree not to give me anymore than three yrs. For that to be possible, 3 yrs, it had to be brought back down to a C. \n    D felony is, I think  1-4yrs not real sure on that one. \nI know for a fact that a C felony is 1-7 yrs 1 being the least the judge might give, 7 being the max he is allowed to give.\n My first offense I got caught with about 2 grams of meth, I received 5 yrs probation with 2 yrs SIS. SIS is suspended imposition of sentance. that means I go on probation for 5 yrs, if at anytime in that 5 yrs I commit the same or any other crimes, or receive a number of many possible violations of probation, I go to prison to serve the 2 yrs.\n  \n(the rest of the story, I ended up serving 120 day shock on the first charge because I got the second charge... was allowed back on probation after the 120 days, with 3 yrs back up for the second charge, violated probation, technicalities and served 6 months of the three yr sentance. got the third charge a few yrs later by being in th e wrong place at the wrong time... event though I had learned my lesson. and got another 3 yrs and served 6 months on that).... all done now....no more for me ty.lol) \n\n Depending on the amount he was caught with and extenuating circumstances, if not a lot, and no prior record, and a fairly decent lawyer, he'll most likely get probation.
