to: i am always liable

would you be so kind to at least comment on the merits of this case? Strictly opinion only.

If richard can't get legal representation, due to the
facts that most lawyers won't accept because the 3K amount
is not worth the time and our county legal Aid states they don't have the funds to review his divorce, could I speak for him in court, since he has difficulty with communicating verbalization due to his disability?

what statments will a judge allow objections to in court?

I am not an attorney,(obviously) but I will begin my
first semester in a paralegal program this fall. I am
able however to recognize a potential case that holds
merit as this does. Thanks.

My response:

There is no instance where a Non-Attorney can "represent" a litigant. If his disability is severe, the court will, in this instance, hire an interpreter for him at the very least, or an attorney for representation. The courts MUST follow the federal guidelines under the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and "accomodate" Richard, by appointing someone for him, so that he can gain his "right of access" to the courts.

Talk to the court clerk about this matter, and to make arrangements for the "accomodation" under the ADA. Then, make sure you and he writes a Certified Return Receipt letter to the court confirming his request and special needs for an "accomodation". Get it on the record.

Good luck.
