civil or criminal

This involves alot of different areas with one person. I think that it is going to be civil and criminal. Which way should I go?

This has got to win the prize for the least amount of information given

I am just too scared to release any information right now as it so difficult. I just need someone with law knowledge to advise me which way to go.

We have an attorney here.. but he will still not be able to answer it without details sorry..

He will also not even attempt without a state name..

Oh boy.. don't even get him started on that..

Seriously, if you can not post details to an open forum then try askme.com You can find people to post privately too and get help that way... OR, phone around some local attorney and get a free consultation, give them the details and see if they can help.

texas is the state. You are right I will just have to call around locally. I am just concerned. It involves domestic violence, threats, money issues, marriages, common law marriages, mental wards, corporation issues, needless to say alot more....

You make it sound that this matter is serious. Don't you think something should be done with some help from a legal stand point? Are there children involved? Mental Hospitals,domestic violence? Geez, sounds like there should of been something being done long ago

yes, something should have been done long ago!!!!!!

Also, read through this board.. I bet a lot of your questions can be answered by spending a few hours reading the last 20 days worth of posts..

Okay, I read through several postings, I am confused! I have been beat several times and only once reported it. I have a case number. The police officer said we were common law married, no papers have been filed. He is currently married, but separated as she is in a mental ward. He has been living with me for 4 years. I did not file the abuse claim, as I really did not want him to go to jail, I just wanted it to stop! My kids as well as his kids have witnessed the beatings. I never took pictures, as I did not want any reminders. I want out of this relationship, but too many threats of all nature come up. He owes me alot of money as he has maxed out all credit to be sure I have no means to leave. I am not allowed friends, money, family, you know the controlling type. My questions is this... Even though the credit cards etc are in my name can I make him pay? At least half?
Is it to late to bring up the abuse? Am I considered "the other woman" even though I have written articles about the divorce plans, our future marriage, him living with me, etc? He owns his own business and is suppose to cut me a monthly check but refuses even though I do the work.
Of course there is alot more but it only gets worse from here!!!

By the way, he is very clever and took some law courses so I must be on my toes!

I have posted a few of the details, what type of attorney should I be looking for? I would assume Family Law, but since it involves the business as well I am unsure.

My response:

This has got to be one of the strangest threads I have ever read. It's like a person who's yelling for help in the ocean, and when you try to throw a lifepreserver to her, she says, "No, thanks." Very strange.

But then, our writer finally opens up a little by saying, in essence, "I've had the crap beat out of me, but I don't want to get a Restraining Order to keep my batterer away from me."

How do you help someone, who's writing anonymously anyway and can't be traced, when they don't tell you what's really happening?
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

Anyway, our writer is correct in pursuing her matter with a Family Law lawyer because these lawyers are very adept in business matters also. Remember, they deal on a daily basis with people who want to be divorced, and who have businesses.

Good luck to our writer. Just remember, you must be COMPLETELY open with your attorney, and whatever you say is secret and covered by the "attorney/client privilege" - - it's like telling your sins in a Confessional Box to a Priest - - they can't talk to anyone else but you about your situation . . . ever.
