I am a new attorney who has been practicing about six months now. I do primarily family law cases, and it seems like whatever I get for my clients they’re still not happy. They expect me to get them every single things they want no matter how unreasonable. Any other family law attorneys experienced this?
My clients don’t pay me. I work for legal aid.
How do you get a divorce without an lawyer?
I need an divorce and I have little money I heard that I can do it without one(lawyer) but if there’s anyone who knows how to PLEASE let me know.
legal aid was no help
and do i need him around to do this
i have a tpo against him ( he’s dangerous) so i don’t want him with me to do it i just need this done.
wer have no kids
I am hoping to find a lawyer that will help with my Family law problem that has been on going for 13 years now.
I live in Toronto now but for the last 11 years I was living in the USA. My EX wife has custody of our two boys one 18 the other 22.
The EX would not allow me access during these years and would not reduce my support amounts even when I was not working. She also would not talk to me during the 13 years or even NOW. Because of this neither of my sons talk to me thinking it was ME who walked away and left them when in fact the mother is the one that didn’t allow me to take them even when I was willing to fly them back and forth.
Coming back to Canada to care for my sick Father, getting a job here in toronto I get slapped with this HUGE amount of back support. This is due to the amounts I was sending directly to her while I was in the USA she didn’t tell the family support office here.
IS THERE a Lawyer that will take this case without me having to pay them upfront? HELP
Legal Aid will not take my case because I am working.*making more then 40,000.00
I am paying my current support but that is NOT paying down what they are calling arrears.
Yes I have my back payment stubs and banking info.
My living expences and support like most everyone leaves me living pay check to pay check.
I would pay a lawyer for their time just like any other Bill gets paid just can’t do it in lump sums * most want a min of 3000.00 before they take the case.
Thanks for reading
Lets just clear this up.
UNDERSTAND MOTHER’S get legal councel from the court order of support. They NEVER have to pay a cent.
Fathers on the other hand if something needs to be changed
*support amount due to work or no work PAY a Lawyer
*Problems with access PAY A LAWYER
I am not talking about how to deal with this within the USA I am in Canada.
It can take months to get infront of a judge to hear the case yet months of backpayments pile up.
Why can’t the system treat Fathers as well as the mothers?
Why can’t lawyers understand a payment lump sum of 1000’s of dollars is not always possible?
The system is unfair ….
I make more than the required 125% poverty level to qualify for legal aid. I am afraid of going to court with my ex over child support modification. He will have a lawyer and I will not be able to assert my side of the decision process.
I would like one that comes well recommended, but have no one that I know that can provide a personal recommendation. I want to make sure that I have one with a good reputation & that will get things done right & professionally & that gets things done- I don’t want this dragging out forever. Looking in the yellow pages, there are SO many. I’ve heard divorce lawyer horror stories & don’t know where to start.
Is there a particular website I should go to look?
And I don’t know anything about ‘legal aid’.
Please expand on your answers, I really am starting from square one, & know nothing about this at all & need all the help I can get.
And, please let me stress again the fact that I know no one that can give me a personal recommendation – I’ve already checked with the people that I trust that are divorced (and there aren’t that many of them, believe it or not) or that knew of someone who was recently divorced, & they didn’t like their lawyers & did not recommend them. I’m not looking for a lawyer that is going to try to take my ex for everything. And I know my ex is going to try to take me for everything. I just want it done simply, & peaceably, & quickly- the least trouble possible, so that we can move on from this.
Sorry, I need to clarify on the additional details directly above. What i meant to say is that I am not looking to take my ex for everything, and I know that he is also NOT going to try to take me for everything. (Made a typo in the one prior, sorry)
For all those that took the time to read my whole question & details & input real answers, thanks so much. I know I’ll be able to use a lot of the advice. And this is my first question here on these matters, so, again, I really appreciate your assistance.
Directly for FEYSUNNY- As all others that answered already realized, a general question such as ‘How to find a good divorce lawyer" does not require a state-specific answer. I didn’t ask about divorce LAWS, which would require such details. Next time you may want to take the time to pay attention BEFORE you challenge someone else’s IQ, lol. Have a great day!
I have a difficult child support case that i need legal representation in court. instead of the typical absenteee dad case its the absentee mom case.but im the typcial absentee mom either.so if anyone can help i thank you in advance
legal aid does not have lawyers who appear in court though
I have contacted Legal Aid with no luck. they claim I make to much, but they wouldn’t tell me what the income cap is. My ex has filed bogus claims of abuse against me. (They are completely bogus) But I need a lawyer to represent me, I can’t afford one because I only make and hour and pay my child support. I need help not rude responses, so keep those to yourselves. Thank You
I am getting a divorce and my husband is trying to take advantage of me and I don’t have money for a good lawyer. I talked to legal aid and they only file for paperwork and don’t go to trial. I really need help. If anyone knows any lawyers in the Central Florida area that are cheap or are willing to take on pro bono cases, I would greatly appreciate it!!
My girlfriend was divorced not too long ago. She got a bad deal. Lost the house, kids, etc. She had representation through legal aid. Since the divorce is over, she doesn’t have someone she ask for advice or help with enforcing things like payments and such. She also would like to try to get custody of two of her children in the near future. I want to help her as much as I can financially but can’t afford a high priced lawyer as well. We’ve tried some web sites that recommend some lawyers but have not found any that are low priced or take on cases pro bono. I know it’s out there but don’t know where to look. If you know of someone that knows someone who can help, we’d appreciate it. Thank you.
