We May Need A Lawyer?

Thank you I will have to check that out. We are willing to pay we just dont have alot of up front money. This is a good plan hope i can find one out here to help me thank you.

Yeah im gonna have to check both of those thank you so much.

Yeah he is starting her plan next Sunday but he wants to get a lawyer to speed this up. It just seems silly. She is always yelling at him to so whats that gonna do when they have visits?

Thanks I will look into this. I know I got a free lawyer for my divorce but I had no income at all when he left me.

If I may add, civil dispute like this is based primarily on balance of probability which depends on character references and how strong is the case. For civil cases, case law is the best way to proof a case. You may also want to look for similar cases which had been recorded with verdict on case law resources of your country.

No problem at all, Cheers.

I agree and im gonna be investigating what we can do. Its hard when you dont have the money to pay a lawyer.

And they can be expensive!
Isn't there some type of Legal Aid in your area, if you can't get them to do it pro-bono, they should be able to have a sliding scale fee system.

Im hoping to find one with some sort of sliding fee scale or something for sure.

Same country for now shes visiting Australia soon and im afraid she doesnt plan to come back.

desertdarlene... i am very confused by your post. if i understand your post correctly, your ex-sister in law has "kidnapped" your nephew. it is against federal law to remove a child from any state without consent of the other parent. was there already a case in family court for custody, visitation, etc.? please keep searching for a lawyer that will look into this for you. if there has been no other formal agreement, hire a private investigator, track the b* down, and get bring the child back home. possession, even of children, is 99% of the law. and if the courts don't think she kidnapped the child, then they can't consider going and getting him kidnapping, or custodial interference, or whatever they call it. good luck to you all!!

The problem is that my brother has no money whatsoever and neither does anyone else in the family. I don't think the courts want to help because the child is out of the country. We try to make contact with my nephew, but the mother keeps making excuses.

I forgot to answer the other part of the question. Basically, while my brother was at work, she packed up everything and left. By the time he got home, she was well on her way out of the country. When he heard from them again, she was already in Canada.

I don't really want to say much more about this in a public forum in respect to my brother's privacy. I think if I go into more details, it might embarrass him and other people involved.

Shes got a lawyer and her lawyer is really preasuuring my hubby telling him he cant win I think we need to get a social worker involved or something.

That is a lawyer tactic to keep it fromm going to court. The lawyer is only saying that because

1. The lawyer doesn't really want work on the case.
2. The x only hired him to scare your husband.

Get in touch with Family Services, let the lawyer and the x squirm a bit. Maybe once she here's the word Social Worker she will calm down.

It is sad when parents just cant agree on things. My divorce my hubby tried for joint custody and I fought him only because he works and I dont. It just didnt make any sense. He gets every other weekend and had other time but he choose to pass on that due to gas prices.

President Bush needs to hear about that...the ridiculously high gas prices are interfering with children and parents seeing one another!

My ex wasn't content with our original agreement (I had her Mondays through Thursday 24 hours, and in the morning Fridays--he had every weekend!); he only paid $50 in support (when I had a job), so when I was first unemployed, everything was fine, but then I required her to help out around the house (nothing major, just your basic chores) and all he11 broke loose! You'd think I was demanding her to be Cinderella or something! Next thing I knew, she moved out and into Dad's, and between the two of them, convinced the psychologist AND the judge that I was being too demanding. In the 15 months since, she's gained a LOT of weight and managed to start failing classes. I am NOT a happy camper!

I wouldnt be a happy camper either.

i don't need to do chores,because my mother and my wife always do it. Before i married with my wife, MY mother also do all the chores,sometimes i wanted to wash my clothes,but before i thought to do that,my mother had washed them. so i was very angry about that,and tell her not to wash my clothes again. but my mother also washed my clothes. i seem lazy in my hom, actually i am a hard-working man in outer. my mother hasn't work,i always think if she do the many chores, it will be advantage for her healthy. are you have the same sense?

Obviously, things are very different in our cultures. I no longer have a mother, my father is 71 and lives 850 miles away, I worked full time (until I was laid off) and I have multiple sclerosis (read more at www.nmss.org). .

When my mother WAS alive, she worked full time, 40 hours plus a 2 hour round-trip commute; did the laundry; did the dishes; cooked meals; and for a time, helped stain the trim of our home (when being built), or helped mow the law (3-4 hours on a tractor). Did having all of those chores make her any healthier? I don't think so--she developed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and passed after being sick only 7 1/2 weeks . She had diabetes, contacts/glasses and a skin allergy that prevented her from using any perfumed soap on her hands.

Because of her work ethic, I only learned the basics of running a household: I can't manage cooking an entire meal--I never was given the opportunity to learn time management!; I taught myself to use bleach after years of having dingy whites; I'm not really good at cleaning or any of that stuff. I wanted to make sure my daughter learned the basics--her father is a few weeks shy of 42 and still runs home for HIS mom (73 and has Alzheimer's) to do his laundry or to borrow (beg) for money from HIS dad (73, colon cancer survivor and has Parkinson's). Unfortunately, it's three against one, so I guess there's another one (though I told her, I won't be in any position to help out).

We are in Minnesota. Im gona look into those options thank you very much.

Yeah I dont know there is a such thing as a cheap lawyer lol. I will be setting up plenty of free consults lol.

why you want to find a cheap lawyer. if you want to realize your wish,you should try your best to do it. money isn't importand for your wish. bless you!
