I received a show cause summons (crimminal) WTH help

OP,

It's clear why you needed to move out of state. Eviction, family support, job opportunities. What's not clear is why you didn't give proper notice. I am not asking you to give that here. But that's what you need to focus on, explaining why you did not tell your child's father earlier. Were you afraid he'd try to block your move? That kind of thing. I hope you speak with an attorney tomorrow. Keep us posted.

P.S. And if proper was impossible, why notice wasn't the earliest possible.

I didnt know where we were going until just days ( 3) before that what were doing because I was REALLY searching hard for somewhere and until the last minute didnt even consider leaving the state... and their dad had them that last day .. I actualy gave my child to their dad the day before to since I knew I was leaving and wanted to max their time with their dad.

Since their dad would have him the day has pulled the not returning when supposed to card (which I can prove but have tolerated because well its time with dad and thats important) I didnt want to cause a commotiona nd have to enforse the court order via police and cause a scene for my preschooler. I was in violation ANYWAY so after talking with people I decided it would be in my childs best interest not to chance the amlost garenteed non return of my child.....

also I asked to file an emergency motion to move but they told me it would still take longer than I had to go through the court

so I notified EVERYONE CPS, dad, court, etc when I moved of the address and circumstances

OP,
It sounds like you did what you could. I hope you are able to speak with an attorney tomorrow. Also keep us posted after the hearing.

There must be a zillionlawyers in this area and you need to find one to help you and not ask legal questions on an anonymous chat room. Even if a lawyer should answer you, I doubt the judge will accept anonymous advice from someone who says they are an attorney. Stop wasting your time and GET A LAWYER.

Not likely. You received notice you were being evicted and unless its a very rare situation, you knew long before the notice that it was going to happen. For example, if you don't pay your rent for a couple months or you violate the lease by moving another person in or getting a pet you aren't allowed to have, etc and so forth.
Further, you aren't going to be able to come up with a very valid reason as to why you were not able to find housing in the location you were legally supposed to stay at per the agreement OR provide adequate notice for your move.

Who the hell are you and why are you such an asshole? Goddamn, OP has been evicted, is stressed out, and then you come along with this message. Did your mother tell you not to kick a man while he's down?

I will tell you who the hell I am...I am non interested by-stander who isn't going to be half as nasty as the judge and courts are toward this woman.

it can end up with cps getting involved bc the judge may not feel she is adequately able to provide for her kids. Its a bad situation but OP makes it worse if she goes to court and tells a judge she basically can't provide shelter for her kids. Further, who cares if she has emails that ask him for money ...the court will ask why where her court records are that shows she pursued the matter legally, etc

[Anonymous]

Of11:34 OP knows this is serious. There are gentler ways to make your points, even though I'm not clear on the point of them. The judge will care if her circumstances changed and the father did not provide additional financial resources. If the language required notice was to the father, as opposed to the court, she claims she informed him.

[Anonymous]

OP here actually I do that PROOF that I am pursing the financial matters legally its just taking along time

theres a child support case in there system waiting in line to be hears (we had a pelemaniary) and are waiting for the trial date still

[Anonymous]

OP you need to STOP posting sbout this on the internet.

[Anonymous]

Why? She's stating facts about herself, she's not maligning her child's father. This is empowering her. The judge will decide this, not us.
