1. Visitation, Coronavirus
  
  If there is no court order, then there's no easy way to compel her to do anything. If your ex is not keeping the kids at home and not ceasing their potential exposure to others, it might be best for all involved - the kids, your mom,. and others - if everyone stays put. If the kids have been...

  If he is arrested today, he could be released on a reduced bail. While the Judicial Council of CA has set a $0 bail, the felony offense of Criminal Threats per PC 422 is exempt. However, that does not mean that the bail will not be lowered a great deal, anyway. Counties have leeway on the...

  You say you have had "several" ROs - including CPOs - against him. Why "several"? Why were previous ones dropped? Did you ask for them to be dropped? Or, did you permit them to be violated in some way? Since they have typical expiration dates of three years, they don't just disappear on...

  Hmmm ... just noticed that. It popped up on my feed and I just read it. Had to deal with a call from a victim like this tonight, so I had it at the top of my mind.

  What do you think an attorney will do for you? An attorney cannot compel the police to investigate differently, nor can he or she compel the DA to pursue criminal charges if they choose not to do so. You have access to a domestic violence advocate so you might want to utilize that resource...

6. Covid-19 checkpoints
  
  Maybe not. But, I have known a great many politicians who casually dismiss the masses as inconsequential or not smart enough to understand. It can be easy to dismiss those who disagree as something less than they are, or refer to unfavorable news pieces as "fake news". Fortunately, the...

  I think you are right. There will be much discussion going forward, and hopefully some clarification. However, what I am afraid of is that there will be many who will advocate to place greater power into the hands of state and local authorities - perhaps not even elected authorities - to...

  Not quite the same thing. I used to live in San Diego County, and the entire region had immigration checkpoints. They were of limited status and not intended to prohibit travel or otherwise infringe on one's rights.

  I have read those. But, isolation and quarantine regulations generally involve either restrictions at ports of entry, businesses, gatherings in public places, the enforced quarantine of those who are infected or carriers, but not the enforced home imprisonment that too many locales are dabbling...

10. Covid-19 checkpoints
  
  Thanks. Okay, I had seen that article. I tend to agree that such an action to detain solely upon the state of vehicle registration and then ban entry or order quarantine are unlawful acts. Fortunately, we haven't taken those steps here.

  The difference being that at a DUI checkpoint, you are not barred from continuing on unless you are committing a crime. Whether you can be lawfully barred from entry to a particular state because you don't live there is another question entirely, and would depend upon the orders and any legal...

12. How can a father stop his immigrant wife from taking children out of state and country
  
  At the moment, there's not much your son can legally do to prevent her from traveling. She is an adult, these are her children, and presumably she has the proper documentation to show that they ARE her children, so she can travel with them. Frankly, your son's unilateral cancellation of his...

14. Child visitation/well-being
  
  Is visitation covered by a court order? If so, you MUST abide by the order or you risk repercussions. If the child's "suffering" is genuine, you may have to return to court and see if it is possible for a psychologist to evaluate your child. Much of the time, however, the courts are going to...

  Harris County (includes Houston) had two weeks of closed businesses and venues, and one week of a stay at home order. So, a mixed bag.

  Of course, we also saw crime flatline during the RK Riots as well ... but, THAT had something to do with all the cops and National Guard troops on every corner. (Ah, those days bring back memories ... not necessarily good ones ...)

  Yep. It's the same here. Scary part is that we don't really have low level offenders in jail here anymore, so they're letting out some pretty serious criminals. Though, I am surprised that we have not yet had reports of serious spikes in crime. Yet. Could be that with all the victims mostly...

  You were probably replying as I was editing. Maybe. Either way, my bad. :cry: I suspect that what we may see, in the end, is a high volume of dismissed cases much like we did in the case of similar violations during the Rodney King Riots in 1992. Then, the state and local government had...
