Anyone Have Problems With Attorneys Posted: 04-10-06 16:45pm
I am newly divorced and my seizures now
consist of "unawareness", I can't talk and
get confused and I know what I would like
to say. After physical, mental &
verbal abuse by my ex, he took our
daughter from idaho to his mother in mi.
I followed them to mi (all family lives
here) after I filed for "ppo" personal
protection order againist him, he filed
for custody and that I have supervised
visits, stating "i was a flight risk" I do
not drive due to seizures and I have so
much evidence againist him. Everytime I
called my attorney she would not call me
back (for 3 months was the last time).
When I would meet with her, I would get so
upset talking about how my ex- hurt myself
and our daughter and I would become
confused and would not be able to stay on
the subject she would be on. I was told
to settle out of court. My ex black
mailed our daughter that I was the bad
mom. I would take care of her while he
was out of state and every other day, he
would egnore us and did not care if
daughter was around to see or hear what
abuse he did to me.
Now our daughter is stuck with her dad,
she hids in her room from him. Her dad
talks negatively about me all the time and
will not help with transporation, even
though he knows I do not have help. He
still tells her is going to kill himself
if she asks to be with me (when she is
sick or any other time; "it is not my day
with her"
i need help getting her out of her dad's
house and I cannot have joint custody, he
makes all the rules and hurts everyone in
the process.

I am so sorry that you are having to go
through this. If your current attorney is
not helping, is there a way to secure
another one? If you feel she is being
abused, she can call child protective
services or tell a teacher or counselor at
school so they can investigate.
I would think the best thing you can do
right now is take the best care of
yourself that you can. If you can get the
best control possible it might help your
case.
Also have someone you trust go with you to
attorney appts to help?
Hang in there. I know you are grieving
for your child....

I have called cps when my ex had knifes in
the bathroom and threatened to kill
himself; after our daughter told him she
would like to live with me, their
response was that it did not need to be
investigated. So I will not be calling
cps. I need a attorney's help so much
and I get turned away by legal aid, they
are not going to waist their time on a
little case like transportation, when I
just learned of a taxi $48.00 round-trip
to pick up our daughter, when her dad has
a car and can transport her, I have tried
telling him I would pay the gas money, he
refuses to help. Living on social
security alone, I cannot afford to pay
$96.00 a week to pay the taxi.
Everywhere I turn someone gives me phone
numbers for legal help and not one number
helps. :(
