Establishing an Order: Filing an Objection to a Proposed Custody Order

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: CA

My ex's attorney prepared a draft order after hearing. I took issues and prepared my own orders based off my interpretation of the court transcript. We did not agree on a few issues. I need to object to his proposed orders.

California rule 5.125(e)(3)(C) states "A cover letter that explains the objections, describes the differences in the two proposed orders, references the relevant sections of the transcript or minute order, and includes the date and results of the meet-and-confer conferences. "

I'm not sure of the format of this "cover letter". I'm used to preparing declarations for responses and such. Can anyone point me to some examples of such a cover letter? I've tried searching, but I'm not getting any relevant results.

Retail Fraud / Shoplifting: Caught when Shoplifting for the First Time. Extremely Nervous and Regretful

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Massachusetts

Hi,
I am a 20 year old high-achieving college student and I have never broken the law or been in trouble with the law before (not even a traffic ticket), but in a impulsive mistake, I attempted to shoplift some cosmetics and jewelry from Nordstrom Rack for the first time today and was caught. I have been suffering from depression, anxiety, and insomnia for a period of time now, and I think that contributed to my poor decision making. I absolutely regret it and take full responsibility. After, two store workers took me to a room, and in a panic attack, I blanked and initially lied about not having an ID with me. I did give the ID to them and voluntarily returned all items, totaling to approximately $116, but no item exceeded $20 in value. They took my photo, phone number, address, and copied my drivers license, and they had me sign a trespass form and civil demand form. They told me it was a first offense and did not call the police at the store. For some reason the security officer commented that I seemed like a frequent shoplifter, which is not true. They told me to expect a letter with a fine or to call a phone number in 3-5 days.
I was wondering what I should do next. If I pay the fine from the letter, will the police still be called and will I still be arrested/have to pay further fines? How long does it usually takes for a store to call the police on an offender? Do I need a lawyer to pay the fine, and should I hire a lawyer look over the charge/letter when it arrives?
I am worried that my initial panic and lie about not having my ID, coupled with the store worker's comment about me appearing to be a frequent shoplifter, would reflect unfavorably on me and potentially cause them to call the police. I think my extremely dazed and out-of-it appearance is what caused her to say that - I had not committed any legal crimes before this, and I honestly do not know what overcame me. I can barely remember the entire incident clearly and was trying to remember to breathe and not faint when they were talking to me. Also, I was wondering if this incident and paying the fine would affect future employment opportunities for me/count as a criminal record when applying to graduate schools and such.
Many thanks in advance.

Trials: Felony Charges Have Been Pending for Two Years With No Trial Scheduled

My question involves criminal law for the state of: GA

I was arrested on july 7th of 2014. With 10 felony charges of commercial gambling. The investigation was started in october 2013. Why havent we been to trial yet? Our lawyers just keep saying "the more time that passes the better."
But they arent the ones with these charges hurting them. No one wants to hire you. I was lucky enough to get a job as an RN since ihad my license. After interviewing with 5 hospitals. However now the state of GA wont renew my license next year if i dont send them my disposition.

Why is court taking so long? They took everything from us. And no one seems to care.

Service and Repair: Car Was Stolen from Outside of a Repair Shop

My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: CALIFORNIA

I dropped my car off after hours at a repair shop, parked it in the same spot as I always have and dropped my keys in the designated locked after hours drop box. I called the owner as soon as they opened the next morning and was informed that my vehicle was not on property and that their drop box had been broken in to. Filed reports with local law enforcement and my insurance carrier. Thank God I'm insured. The shop owner even after knowing my vehicle was stolen from their property failed to notify the police. Acted very surprised when they came to investigate.
I have been using this shop for all repairs on my vehicle and have never had an issue until now.
I requested copies of all work orders to submit to my insurance company and have been given the run around. Until this incident he had been very communicative and helpful.
Could the shop be held liable for the theft? As it was their drop box that was burglarized to gain entry to my vehicle?

Modification of Custody: Father Wants to File for Custody to Avoid Paying Child Support

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Virginia

So, I've had full legal and physical custody of my son since birth and he is now 4 years old. I just filed for child support and his father is upset and is threatening to file for full custody. I have text messages spanning the years where he has refused to watch him on his days off because "he has things to do." Also, proof that he's turned down every offer of visitation. Does he have a chance of getting full custody of my son?
