Attorney question.?well this isn't really an attorney question but I have physical custody of my 11 yr old son
we have joint custody but like i said he lives with me. HE is going to start middle school this month. He has a mild form of autism. His dad is taking me to court in front of a mediator.to talk about the middle school he will be going to. I want him to go to a middle school I have been to and his dad wants him to live over there and go to the school in that area. His dad is worring about gangs and bullies. I do not agree. Every middle school has gangs and bullies. He said he does not have an attorney. but it is going to be at a courthouse and i was served the summons that had his attorneys name on it. I can not afford an attorney and was wondering if anyone knows of any in the fort worth Tx area who will work with a low income person. Do you think I would need an attorney?

Gosh, YES, you need an attorney! Your child is your most important asset. There are no second chances with these cases! Beg, borrow or steal to ensure both you and your child are properly represented. Check out the Texas State Bar Association lawyer referral service http://www.texasbar.com/template.cfm?sec... and also the link If You Can't Afford A Lawyer http://www.texasbar.com/template.cfm?sec... See also Lexis Nexis listings for family law attorneys in Fort Worth: http://www.martindale.com/family-law/tex... Start at the top and ask each if s/he has a sliding scale and, if not, does s/he know of colleagues who might? And be gracious. What you're asking for is time, the only commodity lawyers have to sell.
well your kid is involved...might want to find a way to get an attorney
Look in the phone book for all of the numbers of the family court and the courthouse you're assigned to (where the hearing is supposed to be held). Most courts have an office or a representative in the family court who can provide some legal assistance and even come to the hearing with you -- and they do it for free. It's usually called family services or something like that.
You should get an attorney.
Call law schools in your area and see if their pro bono program would be interested in taking your case. Should be several law schools in the DFW area.
