Which is a better city to move to.Atlanta or Back to Southern California?

I had to leave california after a 5 year stay due to losing my fortune 500 job then moved back home temporary to Mississippi and this state sure does SUCK & is nothing like the "city of angeles".I had two jobs and was loving it because I kept money on me.I have received unemployment for about a year now due to the bad economy and I wanna get back to work and my best friend is pushing me to move to Atlanta but he is married and I am divorced and my wife and step kids are in Their home state of California.Is the economy better in Atlanta or is it true that Atlanta is Highly over rated like I was told In California.I just left from a tour in Atlanta and to be honest;That place feels just like being in Mississippi with all the trees and No sandy beaches,palm trees or mountains.I made .00 an hour in California with my two jobs added together.Is the money good in Atlanta as I work with Copiers and Fax Machines.All I saw in the ATL was alot of Tranny’s.Please help me decide because My brother is in L.A. as I speak and he told me that California was at ROCK BOTTOM and that Atlanta was not ranked as high as they once was.

Need A Lawyers Advice Please… Family Law Questions..?

Ok Im going to try to make this a short one.

Im wanting to leave my husband, he is very verbally abusive and has a revengeful temper. we have a 14 mth baby together. I also have 2 other children, but they live with their father. I have been a stay at home home for a long time now, but iam out looking for a job now. Back to my husband….. He has a bad drinking problem and drug problem as well. He does carry a full time job, but when he gets off he comes home and hangs out in his shop with his buddies still 1-2am and we don’t see him until the next day. Im tired of the drugs and the drinking and feel i need a better life for me and my son. My husband has cheated on me, lied to me sooo many times, and betrayed me. He has done the most lowest things to me that I will never understand why he did them.
Im a great mother and a great wife, and I feel I don’t deserve what he has and what he is doing to me.
He has had 1 dui, Been arrested for growing weed in his home (this was before him & i got together) and he has also gotten a cdv for hitting his last girlfriend. So yea he doesn’t have a good past record. I could go on and on about what he has done to me, but I will get to the questions..

1. I don’t have no money.. So what would you suggest I do first?
2. Do I have to leave my Home, can I kick him out?
3. And how do I begin child support on him? He is also paying child support for his 5 yr old son too.
4. What will I need to get proof of? He owns a 2 story house that he rents out mthly, and he also has 3 boats and a 1969 camero and alot of other stuff. Im not looking to take him to the gutters, but what I have been through with him… By God I deserve something out of it…
5. Can I get a restraining order on him when I still live with him, but I sleep in a separate bedroom?
6. And do you suggest I pull a drug test on him? Because he will fight me, and he will fight me hard… His dad has lots of money because of the company he owns, that my husband works for.
7. And what about the custody of our child? Because I really don’t want him having our son, because of his drinking and drug use!

Please will you answer my questions and be honest at what im against. Im clueless! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this… God Bless

Is there a family law attorney in Deleware County Pa. that will help me sue for mental abuse?

My child’s (age 2.5) father has done very upsetting things to me and my family for the past 3 years and I feel that I am getting sicker and sicker from it physically and mentally. The courts and lawyers say they can’t (or won’t) help me protect my kids from the things that he does, and I just want him to stop once and for all. For example, he gave my son ( age 14 & from a previous marriage) a cd that he downloaded from the internet, without letting me know or asking my permission. The cd contained racial hate songs on it. When I found out I was furious and asked why he would give him such a thing and he said, "oh lighten up, you always make a big deal out of nothing". Another time he made our daughter get a second set of vacines she didn’t need claiming he was never told that she was up to date. But he was told, not only by me, but by the pediatrician, and her shot records. Bottom line, he gets away with it because I can’t find a lawyer who’s willing to help me put a stop to it.

Family law. Does a custodian have to have consent to take holidays with child?

I have full custody of my grandson. My daughter has 4 hours visitation each week. Access is final so is custody. Each time I plan a holiday we have to cancel based on her visitation rights…up until recently she barely shows up for her visits. I informed her in January we were planning a trip to Euope this summer. I offered to pay her way & bring her along & she declined on 3 seperate occassions. I have now invited another family member to join us. Up untill recently she stated everything was ok & that she would not interfere with us going away. As things began to move closer & she knew I had to get his passport she disappeared thinking I needed her consent to get it! I called our lawyer & had him do a letter for us as she is homeless & I could not contact her. I have the passport. Now there is an issue with how long we will be gone…this vacation is an extended vacation as we will only get to do this once I’m sure & we want to make the most of it. As the custodial parent having the child for 10 years do I have any rights at all? This is tearing our whole family apart as my daughter is constantly creating issues, not just for me but everyone as what she does affects everyone. It is like an emotional dance of blackmail that she will not give up on. Please help!

Anyone know a free or cheap family law attorney/lawyer in Houston?

I am needing a free or low cost family law attorney in the Houston area. I have physical custody of my sisters son (7) & we are suing her ex (his dad) for child support. He is hiding from being served & refuses to pay or even come to court. Whenever we have spoken to him he always threatens us with getting visitation. We are VERY fearful that he will get visits & he has MULTIPLE felonies & has been in prison twice. I need help because we need him to help financially support his son? I know what you’re thinking, he has a right to see his son, but he is dangerous & its not in his sons best interest?

OK I need help from family law lawyers or judges?

I have 3 year old twins. I have placement m-f and their dad has them sat & sunday every weekend. When we went to court he was told he cannot be under the influance of any illegal drugs or alcohol while the children are in his care. and he needed to attend anger management and AODA assessment. None of which he has done (to my knowledge) One day in January after dropping the twins off with me he was stopped on the freeway for doing 15 over and the cop smelled marijuana and discovered he had 7.7 grams of pot in his car. Can I get him for contempt? (especially for the marijuana)

Can a lawyer quit in middle of family law case if he's been paid $7,400. & taken 2 mo. payments?

Simple issue. Ex on drugs. Filed for restraining order to restrict his contact with baby till he proved he was clean. Did mediation and the mediator also stated she felt my child should only have proffessionally supervised visitation until he could prove a minimum of 90 days clean with hair test. Sounds pretty black & white, right? 5 court appearances later, with Ex making random false accusations about me, avoiding the drug test, and drug assessment requested by the judge, providing not a shred of evidence to validate his accusations and drags case on for 11 months. With each appearance my attorney charged over 0.00 and not once did he simply stand up and say……..Judge, the respondants accusations are not relevant and he hasn’t provided the clean test. He just let it drag on, till the well ran dry. Now, 2 wks b4 trial, he bails, saying he has other cases that will pay him and he doesn’t want to waste any more time on mine. He refuses to even verbally advise me. Can he do that???

When to start a family (after law school)?

I’m thinking about going to law school after I graduate. I will gradutate from college in May(I’ll be barely 22) then would go directly to law school & graduate from there when I’m around 25. I’m conflicted about when I would start a family if I did this. I plan on getting married after college and would likely not start a family until after law school. I know that the first few years after law school are tough; however, I’m not planning on being a big time lawyer or even a trial lawyer. I’m interested in the behind-the-scenes research area & would likely work at a business or small firm near where I live. So even though it would still be tough it won’t be quite as cut throat as what I’ve been hearing major firms in NYC are like LOL. Do you think it is possible to have a family a few years after law school? My question is mainly for lawyers or people with direct experience not second hand info about someone who did something and it was hard :)

If a lawyer who knows family law is reading this, please help?

Can my wife stop me taking my children to my parents house, if that house is a farm and if one of the occupants has been convicted of manslaughter? The farm equipment is in lockable barns and I would not let them wander unaccompanied anyway and this person was released and has proven records that he is not a danger to anyone. She will also not allow me to take them anywhere in my car, because I smoke, but I have told her I will not smoke in the car and will clean it before I take them any where. She is setting restrictions to my seeing the children (3 boys aged 1,3 & 5). She has said that she wont stop me ever seeing them, but only on her terms. What can I do? I live in The UK, but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
