My main motivation for getting in touch with him was to see if I had a right to go get her under these circumstances, and if that paper she made me write under duress was legal. I'll try him again before I go over there. If he's not answering there has to be a reason for it. Just not sure what the reason is. |
Unless he has a legal background, he will not know the law in this regard, but may be willing to share his opinion anyway. Please keep in mind that cops typically just know when someone is breaking a law obviously, but are unaware of the instricacies of law even when/if they claim to know. Either they don't know or are just plain wrong and make invalid statements. That's why there are attorneys. Do you have any attorney friends or have a friend that has a relationship with an attorney? Maybe you will find a lawyer who will be sympathetic to your cause and financial situation and offer free advice. If you don't, contact legal aid tomorrow to discuss your situation. Also, maybe your divorce attorney would personally be of some help or might be willing to find out on your behalf or might direct you to another attorney who would be sympathetic to your cause and financial situation. Remember to discuss the legal terms
and issues found in my lengthy post. It is my belief you are standing on solid ground.
I'm sure you don't want to impose on your friend, but I would be sure to ask him if he would accompany you. He may not be willing to put himself in that situation because he knows he doesn't know the law and would not want to be held accountable for any wrongdoing. I'd ask him anyway; he may be willing and that would be excellent (if you ever hear back-aargh).
Take a deep breath...
