[QUOTE="witzend, post: 621814, member: 99"] Contact a family law attorney. The same type you would see if you were seeking a divorce. You must know someone who had a good attorney in a divorce. Ask who they used, and tell them what you're comfortable with. Anything from "My friend had a car accident and needs an attorney, who did you use?" to your entire story. We can't give you a name here - rules. I can not stress this seriously enough, so I am going to [B]bold, CAPITALIZE [I]and italicize it, [/I][/B]otherwise you will hate me because you will think I gave you bad advice if you don't do exactly [I][B]THIS:[/B][/I] [COLOR=#0000ff][B][I]FROM THE FIRST MOMENT YOU CONTACT THE ATTORNEY [U]MAKE SURE[/U] THAT HE OR SHE UNDERSTANDS THAT HE OR SHE IS BEING HIRED TO REPRESENT YOU AND YOUR WIFE'S INTEREST AND THAT HE OR SHE IS NEVER TO REPRESENT YOUR SON OR YOU WILL FILE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST COMPLAINT WITH THE BAR AGAINST HIM OR HER.
