help please!.anyone know about family law and resources?
clairem asked:
well, my husband beat me up all the time and because I m foreign and all my family lives far from me, I have no place to go and cant support my daughter and me. I am fulltime student. Last night I had all I could take. He punched me in the face and busted my lip, my nose was bleeding and he said he would slice my throat. I called the cops and he is in jail right now. I got a protection order, but what am I gonna do?.. I mean, I cant pay rent, lawyer, and cant even run away because he cutted my daughter’s passport. I need his signature for a new one, even if he sing it(which he probably wont) it would take almost a month to get a new passport for her. Does anyone know about any kind of resource to help me. I am as broke as I can be and alone. I have absolutely no one to count on. My mom is trying to borrow money back home to send me but it isnt for sure. *** I AM NOT ASKING FOR MONEY, I AM ASKING IF THERE IS ANY KIND OF PUBLIC HELP LIKE A LAWYER FOR FREE, MEALS, ETC. I want to go home.
Also, if anyone know anything about law. What are the odds that the judge will refuse custody of my daughter to me? she was born in the usa.

There is almost no reason that you could lose your daughter, there are shelters for poor people, I think they give meals, I’m not sure but I think you could get a lawyer for free, if you go though the state, you could probably get another passport for your daughter even if your husband has to sign for it since he tore it up, just make sure you bring it up on court day and pray too that will help. Good Luck! Daniel

Well the first thing you did by having him locked up is a step n the right direction, every state has different laws so all I can give you is some general information, start by asking the local police if there are any victims services where your at most places have women’s shelters that will help you get through this and on your feet again, you could try contacting the local Catholic Charities and see what they can do ( you don’t have to be Catholic) Check your local phone book for women’s groups that may be able to help you as far as legal help etc. also check the phone book or on line for the closest embassy for your home country they may be able to help you, as far as custody of your daughter goes, if he’s convicted of Domestic Battery he doesn’t stand a chance of getting custody of her. I hope this helped you, Good Luck trying to help
