[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 565231, member: 84"] Mutt, since his friend is such a good attorney............and willing to recommend him to an equally (I assume) good attorney for divorce that is a friend of his, perhaps arrangements can be made via the 3 of them such as difficult child doing much if not all of this pro se with the [B]coaching[/B] of the divorce lawyer for a much much lower fee. When I left Fred and vanished with the kids, then needed to resurface to file for temp custody........I found the best lawyer in the area for such. I didn't have a dime to my name at the time. But when I went for his half hour consult........he wound up more than willing to help me do it myself, the right way, walk me through it so I would not make any mistakes. To this day, I don't quite understand why, but my circumstances were both unusual and "special" (as in something you don't see everyday)........I'd have though it would have had the opposite effect. But he walked me through every single step, even leading me to where to pick up this form and that form to petition the court, how to fill it out, where to file it. Once in a while he drew up a letter for me on his letter head to make it "official" or made a necessary phone call when I needed some muscle. But the divorce that cost me 300.00 cost husband almost 3000.00 and he had a crappy franchise lawyer.........so bad that my guy advised him to seek someone else for his own good. Payment arrangements were made once child support started. No sweat. difficult child needs to call and do some consults with a few lawyers (including the one recommended to him) who have a good rep for being able to get the job done right without bleeding their client dry. From that list, during consult.....he's looking for someone with a heart, a family man......someone who can understand the situation he and his children have been placed in by this nut job and the criminal she's hanging with. It might be his best bet at finding a really good lawyer willing to help him while working with him as far as payment is concerned by being creative. Know what I mean?? Even if you had legal aide.......you can't wait on them to act. Has he tried making a report with the local cps where she is now, due to the fact the children are being exposed to a known dangerous felon? Whenever he knows her location, he needs to do so, with make/model of vehicles they're driving as well as addresses if he has them. Gives the cps heads up. And I know the one in Mo was watching for Katie when she arrived, although I have no clue what they did or didn't do upon finding them. I do know she has had a file with cps from that date on in Mo. He might want to call the local DV shelter and ask for suggestions. His ex and the man she's with are both violent (her recent behavior shows that), they may have some very helpful suggestions. And yes, they help males as well as females. Tell him to keep working with police. Praying hard for your little ones. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
