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???

My friend(male) is getting divorced. His soon-to-be ex-wife ran off with his kids to hawaii 2 days before Christmas last year. She has a history of being locked up and drugs, but most will be his word vs. her word. He has a really good chance of getting his kids back, but he needs a really good lawyer. Can anyone help?

I am trying to gain some insight for a friend of mine. She lives in Southern California, and is going through a divorce & custody battle involving her young daughter. Her soon to be ex is a multiple ex-con felon involving drugs. He constructively abandoned her when he went to jail and was gone for over a year this last time. His interest in his daughter is minimal, but HIS folks ARE interested in their grandaughter, and are fighting for visitation rights through their son. He usually just picks up his daughter and drops them off at his folks for the weekend, and does this every other weekend. But now, since attorneys are involved, the grandparents want to ensure the grandaughter doesn’t move away, and are stipulating she cannot move any further away than an adjecent county. The mother is using the services of an inexpensive attorney, and he is saying there isn’t anything he can do about it. The mother may want to move furtheraway some day. Is the mother stuck?Or can she fight?

I am currently 17 years old. I have been through so many life changing experiences throughout my life. Many people tell me i should write a book about my life but would it be worth the time and effort? I am the middle child of 3 sisters, our parents are both from medellin, colombia; however my sisters and i were raised in southern california precisely in Newport Beach. My mother came to this country with 100 dollars, pregnant not knowing anyone and not speaking a bit of english. she became a well known jewelry designer over the years and sells her things in nordstroms, Macy’s etc. anyways my parents divorced when i was 11 years old because of domestic abuse. my father beat my mother and myself, but not my sisters… i grew out of it and it didn’t really affect me much. I was raped at the age of 13 by 3 different men. I have been to juvenile hall for 3 misdemeanors of battery. I have experimented multiple times with drugs, and drink on a regular basis. I graduated high school 2 years early and am currently studying for a business major in college. did i mention i have the iq score of a genius? i have been designing my own clothing line that is also going to be selling in nordstrom and Macy’s.

There are so many more things but i just want to know if people would be intersted in reading about my life story.

please be completely honest
I did ask for honesty, but there is no need to be rude. Of course I know the name of my mothers brand. I would rather not reveal it, and have her business what she has worked so hard for be looked down upon because of our personal lives.

I am currently trying to get a divorce. I tried to do the uncontested divorce online, but since I have a restraining order, I cannot get an uncontested divorce. My husband is not contesting the divorce. In a nutshell he is in jail for drugs, and a domestic violence charge against me. I want to get this going since I can serve him the papers in jail. If he gets out I do not know, nor do I want to know where is he will go. We do have three children together, but I do not see any problem with him as far as custody. I mean he is in jail. At this time there is no way I can afford a traditional attorney. He took everything I had. I am just now getting back on my feet, but really want to get this divorce taken care of. If anyone can point me in a direction, I live in the southern california area and need to find someone to file the papers for me. Any help would be appreciated.

Oh, and they want us to cry because one of them lost their house in divorce and their kids horse riding. boo hoo.
