honestly, it would serve you better to have an attorney.

check out self help books at your local library. check your local law library for civil rules and court procedures.

i found my dad, and brother via google.

my mom, even though i haven't spoken to her in 5 years, i know where she lives and she worked for the city at a polling booth last election.

found my half sister on myspace.

a cousin on facebook.

the first time i found my dad when i was 17, i sent a seal pre-paid letter to the SSA with a letter to a SSA agent with my dad's social security number. they forwarded my letter to his workplace. took two months.

yes, i know. i seem to lose relatives more often then i lose my car keys....don't judge me.
