It's All About Money - How to Choose a Divorce Lawyer
- Q. Need legal advice regarding accusations against my son involving my granddaughter and police inquiry.
- A: I presume that the police want to investigate an allegation of sexual impropriety by your son against your daughter's child (grandchild) and potentially, they are looking to criminally charge your son with an offense. Alternatively, based on the information provided, the police are planning to turn the matter over to DCPP for investigation purposes.

- Q. How can I legally remove my adult son from my home in NJ due to alcoholism and refusal of help?
- A: Let's talk parent to parent for a moment.
Legally, you get an order of the court as a result of a legal proceeding instituted against your son and then you serve it on the sheriff's department for enforcement to have your son removed and he refuses to leave.
Are you going to have your son arrested or forcefully put out on the street?
While the law has its place, I'm not sure what the law can do for you at this moment as long as you remain in the house.
You told your son to move out and he has refused.
So how is having an order of the court to remove him going to make him leave?
It sounds like your son has some emotional issues and is not dealing with them well and he ... Read More
