LAURA T asked:


I need to send my autistic son with his dad (my still legal husband) to California from Texas for 3 months until I can move myself and our other child out to Cali. My husband and I are seperated….and I trust him with my son but he is also saying I can’t have him back after I move there! Legal Aid takes too long! Where else can I look that is fast and cheap! Thanks

#1 Daddy asked:


If i was the applicant and was on legal aid in toronto, ontario canada can i be rewarded court costs, fees and legal costs……..

lilpinky743 asked:


I have contacted Legal Aid with no luck. they claim I make to much, but they wouldn’t tell me what the income cap is. My ex has filed bogus claims of abuse against me. (They are completely bogus) But I need a lawyer to represent me, I can’t afford one because I only make $8 and hour and pay my child support. I need help not rude responses, so keep those to yourselves. Thank You

Preschool diva asked:

bigthinker asked:


I am hoping to find a lawyer that will help with my Family law problem that has been on going for 13 years now.
I live in Toronto now but for the last 11 years I was living in the USA. My EX wife has custody of our two boys one 18 the other 22.
The EX would not allow me access during these years and would not reduce my support amounts even when I was not working. She also would not talk to me during the 13 years or even NOW. Because of this neither of my sons talk to me thinking it was ME who walked away and left them when in fact the mother is the one that didn’t allow me to take them even when I was willing to fly them back and forth.
Coming back to Canada to care for my sick Father, getting a job here in toronto I get slapped with this HUGE amount of back support. This is due to the amounts I was sending directly to her while I was in the USA she didn’t tell the family support office here.
IS THERE a Lawyer that will take this case without me having to pay them upfront? HELP
Legal Aid will not take my case because I am working.*making more then 40,000.00
I am paying my current support but that is NOT paying down what they are calling arrears.
Yes I have my back payment stubs and banking info.
My living expences and support like most everyone leaves me living pay check to pay check.
I would pay a lawyer for their time just like any other Bill gets paid just can’t do it in lump sums * most want a min of 3000.00 before they take the case.
Thanks for reading
Lets just clear this up.
UNDERSTAND MOTHER’S get legal councel from the court order of support. They NEVER have to pay a cent.
Fathers on the other hand if something needs to be changed
*support amount due to work or no work PAY a Lawyer
*Problems with access PAY A LAWYER
I am not talking about how to deal with this within the USA I am in Canada.
It can take months to get infront of a judge to hear the case yet months of backpayments pile up.
Why can’t the system treat Fathers as well as the mothers?
Why can’t lawyers understand a payment lump sum of 1000’s of dollars is not always possible?
The system is unfair ….

Jylsamynne asked:


Desperately in need of one in St. Lucie County but there is no Legal Aid available here for Family Law and I cannot afford an attorney for my divorce. Is there anyone you can direct me to who can help please?!
Hi once again, it’s not forms I need, it’s an ATTORNEY who will work a family law case pro bono. I have been looking for one for two years. I have gone as far as I can on my own and I need representation. I am looking everywhere. This area however has a severe LACK of family law attorneys, much less any that will even talk to someone who doesn’t have at least $4,000 to pull out of their arse.

I’m a real person with a real need here.

Question has been extended in the hopes of more relevant answers.

Sad Mom asked:


How can I file for child custody without an attorney? Children are being abused and went to live with me. I cant afford an attorney but too high income for legal aid.

robhay asked:


I am a new attorney who has been practicing about six months now. I do primarily family law cases, and it seems like whatever I get for my clients they’re still not happy. They expect me to get them every single things they want no matter how unreasonable. Any other family law attorneys experienced this?
My clients don’t pay me. I work for legal aid.
