[QUOTE="emotionallybankrupt, post: 313787, member: 8226"] I'm not clear on exactly why she is in jail, but as a rule of thumb, I think that if she clearly put herself in that position by making bad choices, then she needs to figure out what to do about it. Plus, won't the Court appoint her an attorney if you don't jump in and pay for one? To retain a GOOD attorney is just so incredibly expensive, and the uncertainty of how things will go...how much time the case will require of the attorney.... I sure wouldn't do it unless I had some convincing evidence that difficult child somehow wound up in the predicament unfairly. Is there any injustice to her in this case that justifies the burden it will put on you and husband to take this on? And what if she is bonded out into your custody with a laundry list of conditions of release for you to monitor? Are you ready for that? Oh...and if she bonds out, there's no way that hearing will happen in December. I'd bet on it. Hearings for those in custody are first priority. I'd say you'll be pushed back AT LEAST 6 months. That's the way things go in my area. Check on your state's procedures before you do anything would be my advice. [/QUOTE]
