Dont have a lawyer

Complaining...but is also common sense.

Im in the process of doing that. I was hoping to find additional information here. I have been to four other websites providing free legal representation in my county. None of them have been able to provide an attorney yet. Maybe they will be able to offer help later in the month.

You have found a wealth of info here.

Read posts from your state: avoid others to avoid confusion.

It's the exact opposite of "common sense." Facts are facts.

From the posts here, I think we have reached some common sense. Some of the people here think this is just a business, and they feel entitled to attorneys fees at the expense of justice, due to their years in law school. They offer no advice, except to say get a lawyer, not my problem. It makes sense, and that attitude was clarified from these posts.

How hard is it to simply have the court order that all personal income information be sent to the other spouse. Its a simple request. But the court roadblocks the process because it isnt done the way the court wants it to be done. Further forcing the need to rent an attorney. This isnt justice, its just some legal industrial complex.

There are rules to requesting discovery. FOLLOW THEM. Oh you don't know the rules.

Dude, do you know the rules to squash? If not, you would suck at playing. Well guess what? You don't know the rules to court. So you suck at it.

Well, you can always look at it this way.

Would you rather have your neighbor Bob perform brain surgery on you, or would you rather have Dr Betty - who has gone through years of specialized training - do it instead?

OP, you should take this advice very seriously. There is living proof of someone who used Bob and now their brain is all messed up.

And it ain't me.

You want the knowledge of a lawyer, why shouldn't you pay for it?

Well, when you get that JD and start practicing, you'll be able to represent yourself.

Only one attorney answered you. The rest are in a variety of non-legal professions, who have earned experience in family (and other) law.

Blows your theory, doesn't it?

I am even going to expand on that. Lots of us here are probably capable of representing ourselves in court because we have many years of informally (and somewhat formally sometimes) education on matters of the law. However, we can only do that because we have a fundamental understanding of how it all works. Now, I can just about guarantee that none of us here, even with that fundamental understanding, would willingly represent ourselves on anything that was truly important to us.

When we see a poster come here who clearly doesn't understand even the basics...then absolutely yes, we are going to seriously encourage them to find a way to get an attorney hired.

I agree with both you and Silver. I -- AS AN ATTORNEY -- would not represent myself. WHY? Even though I could, the emotion of whatever would destroy the case. I couldn't separate myself emotionally. That is what is NECESSARY with the law. You have to deal with the law and NOT the emotion of whatever you are going through. And I have a fabulous track record with my clients of winning. Still with my winning record, I wouldn't rep myself.
