Order to Transport Defendant
My fiance was arrested in Pinellas County for 3 charges, 2 of which he has probation for, the other one is a current charge of Fraudulent use of Personal ID info. He also has a charge in Hillsborough county for FTA Burglary of an Occupied Dwelling. He was transfered from Pinellas to Hills. and is currently in Hills. county right now.

My question is: What could he or I do (as I have power of attorney) to stop the order granting that he return to Pinellas so that he could go to Pre-trial in Pinellas?

He was wanting to finish the Hillsborough county case before being transfered back to Pinellas county, what can be done, if anything???

Thank you

Obtaining credit cards
my mother has been diagnosed several months ago with dimentia. I have power of attorney. My nephew has acquired several credit cards in my Mom’s name and is having them sent to another address and he is listed as secondary card holder. My mother is on a fixed income and I just found out about these debts that she did not make or authorize. He also took her to an attorney to get papers signed, of which my mother does not know what or who the attorney was due to her mental condition. I need to know if I should file have bankruptcy on these debts or if this is a case for the Commonwealth for this. No one in my family is aware of my POA. Which direction should I take. Thank you.

Am I guilty of spousal neglect?

Am I guilty of spousal neglect?
Last August my wife informed me that she has breast cancer. She has not been diagnosed by a doctor, but let’s assume she is correct. Her condition has been worsening. She is a Christian Scientist. I have asked her to seek medical help. She has refused. Instead she has been using a Christian Science practitioner and is seeing a Christian Science visiting nurse. In Sept she had notarized an advanced health care directive that states that she wants only Christian Science care and that if she becomes unable to make health decisions for herself, I am to make them for her “with the advice of her practitioner.” By the time it gets that far, it is almost certain a doctor will be unable to help her beyond putting her in a hospice. I see no way to force her to see a doctor short of physically restraining her, I am not willing to do that. We have been married 39 years and I cannot bring myself to do anything but support her as best I can. We have no children and her family beyond me are also Christian Scientists who support her wishes. If she dies, can I be held criminally negligent in any way for not forcing her to see a doctor? If so, how do I force her? What are my legal responsibilities?
