Should I be an orthodontist or a lawyer?

Need lawyer for court violation?

• A dear friend of mine is in the process of divorce, and during the course of it, her soon to be ex-husband was mandated by the court to keep paying for the kids' cell phone bills and internet for the house. Last January the husband stopped paying for the cell phones and just now stopped paying for the internet. Also, he's telling the orthodontist that he took the daughter to that the reason they're not getting paid is because of my friend. This is combined with the fact that he wasn't supposed to be in contact or meet the kids in any way unless through her. The problem with all of this is that she was recently convicted for a crime she didn't commit and sentenced to probation, community service, etc. Her lawyer from that trial says she can't represent her because of a balance problem in her account. My friend desperately needs a lawyer to help her take him to court to address all of this, but has no money to do so since she's basically surviving off ramen noodles. Is there any way she can get a free lawyer to represent her from the state, and possibly get other help regarding this? Maybe help from her probation officer?

• Answer:

  The friend has a very big problem and i know this 1st hand. My son is in the same boat and the only option he had was to defend him self because he has a job and no extra money to pay for the lawyer. I checked every option even as far as to put it on the internet site that you put the case out there for lawyers to look over and if they would like to take it someone may call and i even put i would pay as much as i could to help my son. And not one lawyer called. So that just says it all if they are not making big bucks from you forget it. Well sorry for the bad news maybe someone can help on this site. Have a great day
