What is the name of your state? Ohio
My daughter goes to her custody case march 16th. The father will not help with any support and he has a lawyer. My daughter can't afford a lawyer, has no friends or family in Ohio, I'm her mother and live in Florida, my health is bad and can't travel or have extra money to help her with a lawyer. Legal aid tells her there's a six month waiting list.
I have seen the father smoke pot several times. And have overheard him say disgusting things refering to his daughters like "if their old enough to bleed their old enough to breed". He's also into porn and the oldest daughter has gone to the bathroom while with him and his new wife for weekend visits and saw them watching hardcore porn movies and once caught them having sex. They sleep in the living room. The father won't keep a steady job. So he has got a lawyer and wants full custody and my daughter to pay him child support! That way he can stay at home with the children and his new wife can work and support the family.
Now my question is, can I write a letter to the judge telling her what I know and have seen and heard? Or will it jeapordize the case. Should I mail it to my daughter and tell her not to open it, give it to the judge or mail dirrectly to the judge? And what's going to happen since she can't afford a lawyer?
