His lawyer said they had a deal with the prosecutors for only one year, of which he could spend on probation. When the judge gave him 6 years for his first ever problem with the law, his lawyer told him that the prosecutor lied. This was a making of meth charge, and it was his wife who made the meth. She was the addict, not Milt. She got 3 years from the same judge because he felt sorry for her. She had a terrible upbringing, etc. Milt and she had only been married a year when this went down. She actually had him convinced that she had Lupus and the only way she could get through her days was with Meth. This man, even though a prison gaurd, knew nothing about Meth. He believed for a whole year that when he took her to the doctors office she was being helped, while she would run out the back door and go to her dealers. This is a May/December romance, Milt being 20 years older, and no match for an addicts many cons. When we tried to tell him there was something wrong with her he would say she had a terrible upbringing and an abusive husband, blah, blah, blah. She has a 14 year old daughter that Milt wanted to be able to come live with them so that they could be a family, but this woman didn’t want her. Milt, the judge, the lawyer and the P’s were all conned. Does Milt have any recourse from doing what his lawyer told him to and then being railroaded? He doesn’t do Meth, or drugs of any kind, he just fell, (Mid-life Crisis?) for the wrong woman. His two children, ages 21 and 23 are just heartsick, everyone who knows and loves him is.

My friend is from Syria. He lived in the states for awhile and married a US citizen. He found out she was on drugs and she left. He wasn’t able to find her anywhere, so he moved back to Syria. How does he file for a divorce? Does he have to come back here to do it? Thank you.

Hello,
I have a son 13 1/2 who moved in with me this year because my ex had trouble dealing with him. Manners, bad grades , drugs alcohol ect. He is doing better in school, i have him in boxing 4-5 days a week after so he is pretty active. Yesterday he went outside with his friends, drank some liquor and passed out. His friends called 911 and he went to the hospital 3x the legal limit. Now my ex is mad and wants him back. Her new man is rich and can afford any lawyer she wants. If we go to court is there any chance i can win? he made one mistake but everything else is good. He wants to be with me and not with her. He does not like her boy friend at ALL!! Give me some advice what to do? He was drinking and smoking pot with her so she cant say it started with me. They drug tested him and found only alcohol in his system. I think i will fight for him if i have to. He needs to know i am there for him but i am going against DEEP pockets!!!

First of all I live in Kentucky. My boyfriend just found out that he is the father of a two year old child, which he knew nothing about until almost two months ago.
The child’s grandmother has temporary custody of the kid because the mother was arrested for drugs. They are also wanting to collect back child support and also money for the hospital bills and doctor bills. This I don’t think is fair because he knew nothing of this.
My boyfriend is wanting to sign over his rights to the child to the grandmother if she wants custody. Otherwise he wants to try and get full custody of the child.
My question is would he be able to sign over his rights in this sort of situation? If not should he be able to get full custody of the child? We already have a child together and he is a good father. And should he be responsible for the back support and medical bills? I know you will tell me to call a lawyer which I am already trying to do. It is just hard to get them on the phone. Please help!

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.
