DiseaseDetective asked:


Can anyone please help. My sister is in the fight of her life. She just lost sole custody of her 5month old son to her ex husband. From what I gather, her lawyer filed a motion for a continuance and told her that the judge would grant it and told her that she didn’t need to show up to court. Well, the day of her trial came around and neither her nor her lawyer were present. Thus he granted full custody to her ex. It has been a nasty and bitter fight for her and she has sunk in to a deep deep depression. I need help to shake her out of it!!!! The only problem is I’m in Australia and she’s in Texas. Can anyone help with any suggestions on the appeals process and or just general help regarding anything with family law?? Can she claim anything since her lawyer was incompetent? If so, where should she start???
She’s going through the appeals process now and is getting a new lawyer but can her old lawyer be held liable for the outcome of her 1st trial?

Fathers who suddenly turn up and want contact with their kids demanding heaps of rights…If they take you to court, what will happen, if they:
- tried to force abortion on you, and when that didn’t work ran off
- had 7 visits to see the child lasting between 10 minutes and an hour in two and a half years
- did not talk to the child during those visits, play with him, or hold/hug him, but instead talked to you about non-child related things.
What sort of rights will the court give him?
