The Church is requesting a new record before we are to be married, and I am at a loss as to where to find a recent baptism record.
I’m an Army brat, and at the end of my baptism record it says to contact the Military Ordinaritate of United States of America. I tried and only got the history, bishop names, etc. No contact information

Until fairly recently, the general public was able to decide who they allowed to run credit and criminal record checks on themselves. Modern technology has, unfortunately, changed this. State court records are considered public records in many instances, and many states have now made it incredibly simple to find out the details of most court cases. Public records are now available via the internet in many states, turning what once required a visit to the courthouse into a simple internet search.

Anyone with internet access can find out if their state offers a search for state court records online. For those that do, checking up on someone you know is as easy as typing in their first and last name. Some states post case information regarding criminal trials, traffic tickets, child support cases, and even civil disputes (and their results) online for anyone to see.

Since this offers a way for one to investigate people they know anonymously, it also means your business is no longer your business. Friends, family, coworkers, and even someone you’ve just started dating are now able to see that ticket you got for speeding, or the amount you owe to a certain credit card company.

Not all state court records are public knowledge, however. Generally, immigration records, military records, juvenile case records and FBI criminal records are some of the different situations where the case information will not be made available to the public.

States also vary in how much detail will be available about the cases posted online. While some states only include basic information, others will go so far as to include the minute entries, specific charge(s), rulings, and possibly even sentencing information. When dealing with sexual predators, every state has a database where you can search for known sex offenders within your area, in an effort to make the public more aware of whom these people are.

Although checking on your friends, family, and maybe even coworkers or employers might be entertaining to some, try to consider whether you would want them checking on your history in return. Eliminating the need to head over to the court house to search for records has dramatically increased the likelihood of someone you know searching state court records for your name.

What will they find? How would that make you feel? After considering these things, you may just agree that it’s best to honor the privacy of others, rather than go looking for something to laugh about at their expense.

If you are on active duty, there are numerous issues that can call for the assistance of an attorney. The most significant situations usually concern charges brought by a command under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Commanders often choose to “prefer” charges against a soldier, sailor, airman or marine and, in certain circumstances, those or other charges are “referred” by a commander for a court martial. Those charges most likely come from of the punitive articles listed in the UCMJ. An attorney can play a vital role in the defense of a case even before charges are preferred by a command.

If charges are brought before a court martial panel, the service member faces a daunting task. Having the right attorney representing the service member is critical.

If convicted at court martial, a panel can consider a number of options for punishment. If the panel decides to separate the service member from the armed forces, a service member can receive 1 of 5 possible types of discharge: Honorable, Under Honorable Conditions (often called a “General Discharge”), Under Other than Honorable Conditions, Bad-Conduct Discharge, or Dishonorable Discharge. The last 2 of this list, Bad-Conduct Discharge, or Dishonorable Discharge, can only be given after a conviction at court martial. Whether a service member will retain various benefits, including VA benefits, his/her Montgomery GI bill, or even his/her retirement, hinges greatly on the characterization of discharge.

Another form of discharge is uncharacterized. An uncharacterized “Entry Level Separation” typically is granted in situations when a service member is in his/her first 180 days in the service and is not adjusting well to the military lifestyle.

An alternative to bringing a service member to court martial is bringing the service member before an administrative board. There are many boards in the various service branches. Some are convened to determine whether the service member has committed misconduct sufficient to be separated (essentially fired) from the service branch. Other boards are convened to determine whether an injury is severe enough to prohibit continued service by a service member. Officers who are suspected of misconduct might be brought before a board of officers or a board of inquiry. Experienced representation before administrative boards is critical to a service member’s success or failure.

Reservists often times encounter as many legal issues as their active duty brethren. Many times a reservist receives orders activating the service member to duty. The orders may have been issued erroneously. However, disregarding those orders can create its own set of issues. Alternatively, some reservists find that reporting for active duty may cause a devastating impact on their families and civilian lives. Consulting with the right, experienced attorney is important in determining what a service member’s rights and obligations are.

Some reservists encounter issues with their civilian bosses before leaving for an activation or deployment or when they return from one. Federal laws such as the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) help protect service members who face these problems. Our lawyers help navigate these difficult issues. A service member has enough to think about when deployment orders are issued – this should not be one of them.

Many veterans and ex-service members attempt to correct their military records. However, the process can be confusing and paralyzing. We can help you prepare your application before the Army Board of Correction of Military Records (ABCMR), Air Force Board of Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR), and the Board of Correction of Naval Records (BCNR).
