I am having difficulty in finding a model "Notice of Claim" for NY. I have been told that in order to be able to file a lawsuit againt the village I live in I have 90 days to file a Notice of Claim. I called the County Clerk and was told to look on the internet for a model to go by. Here are the...

Here is a link to the law - you can be charged with sexual misconduct - I don't know what the consequences are I would say a minium sentance would be six years of probation, a fine and community service. Manimun would be six months in jail. Thats my best guess anyway...

I was able to get results within hours after I provided the chief of police with a copy of the law. I had to become a pest, I was respectful but I made it clear that if they did not enforce this law then I would continue to go to a higher authority. My son was only gone one full night but it was...

This first one may be more helpful - maybe you can have the police threaten to have the girl arrested for harboring a minor???? I am just a parent fighting the same battle as you so I don't know all the laws but I think this web site may be helful...

here is a web site that may help - http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=26.28 http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?Cite=13 Look around this web site you may find something, my understanding is that if a child under age 18 leaves home without parental consent then that child...

I don't know much about what the law allows but one thing I might try is to call the local police in the town where your daughter is being held and explain all of the details to them. I would also wait until he has left the country because then you will be the only parent available to care for...

For the past six years the police, schools and probation dept. in the town I live in have been telling parents that at age 16 kids can leave home without the consent of their parents. There have been several times (minimally 20)when the parents have contacted the police to report that their 16...

In New York State a person was charged with sexual misconduct for having innercourse with a underage person. The victim told the police that they had been having sex for the past year, so they have had several interactions. Are the police obligated to charge the person with more than one count...

Thats a nice thought "cbg"; however, acting like a parent, as you put it, gets me in trouble with the police in this town. I am really looking for information as to what legal recourse I have toward the ADULTS that allow my son to enter their homes knowing full well it is against my wishes. I...

I live in New York State, is there anything I can do if an adult who is not related to my 17 year old allows him to go into their home without my knowledge or consent. This adult is very well aware that I do not want my 17 year old son in their home. I just found out that my son spent the...

I am just as concerned for this baby as for my son but the people in this town seem to think it is a good idea for teenagers to live on their own and try to raise children. By the way - thank you to Duranie because you were right about the age being 18 years in order to move out, I was finally...

I would like to sue the city where I live because for six years the police, DA's office, probation dept. and the school have been telling the kids and parents that at age 16 children can move out of their parents home without parental consent. Even after I showed the police chief the law that...

16 is the law the police use Well, my 16 year old son moved out tonight into a house with his 17 year old girlfriend and her nut case mother. I spoke with the state and local police and they told me there is nothing I can do even though there is a petition for an order of protection in process...

My son is 16 (will be 17 soon), he told me his girlfriend whom is 17 (soon to be 18) is pregnant, I have confirmed this. I am looking for information on what my legal rights are as his parent. Can I require him to continue to live with his parents until he turns 18/21? Can I apply for joint...
