Ha! That's what I love about my job! NOBODY asks me for free advice.

Here's the thing, TA. Lawyers can't give out advice and legal opinions without creating the appearance that an attorney-client relationship has formed, and that has the potential to really screw with insurance and liability, and also carries ethical concerns.

The best advice I can give you is to get an hour's consultation with a lawyer. Most lawyers will not charge for the first consultation. They're not going to solve your problem for you in the first hour (more than likely, they can't), but you'll have a better idea of what you're facing in that situation.

I met with 7 attorney's before I picked one. The main reason is that I wanted to see who I liked the best but I also wanted to see all the best so my stbx couldn't use them. Stbx already had one from the city and I wanted one in my county. If you hire one that has an office far away, you will be also paying his/her fee for transportation.
