Title: support for MOVINON
Post by: Hop guest on January 30, 2006, 10:23:00 AM

Movinon,
I couldn't wait.

Here's a thought. When I was getting a divorce, a lawyer friend told me a good strategy. Lawyers will allow anyone a free get-acquanted consultation. No charge. She advised me to find out which were the most pit-bull lawyers in my town and go have an introductory chat with each of them. After you have done that, even if one of them does not remain your attorney, NONE of them can represent your husband. It's unethical, since they've already had a meeting with you. In specific, that only helps if you live in a smallish city where you can find all those attorneys. I did that, and won everything that mattered (full custody of my daughter).

Even if you live in a big city, you can definitely shop around for the absolutely best-recommended lawyer for your case. Someone who will really pull out the howitzers for you and your daughter. And your first meeting with them should cost you not one cent.

Please keep posting, we will give you all our strength.

Thanks Healing&Hopeful!

HOP guest,
Thanks for the advice.  It seems I need to move on this quickly, but I am in a HUGE city.  There is a place for abuse survivors and they provide some legal cousel and pro-bono services.  Anyone know about that?

I don't, and sorry I jumped the gun when you were perfectly capable of starting your own thread. Want me to delete this one so all your story will be just on one? Easy to copy over all your longer stuff first that gives people the background.

Do say so if you'd like, glad to do it.  (I may have contributed to confusion about which thread to respond to, and don't want to handicap your help...)

You need and deserve all you can get!

Hops

hop: I wish I had known this when I went into this last legal round (three years ago) with my exN.  Great advice, that I know to be true by the way (now).
