Q. re Court Assistance
Does anyone have any case cites or statutes that allows one to assis a father
during trial. This is in California, but any info even from another state would be welcome. Thanks, ~ Dani |

If so, you will have to specifically define "assist." Does the father pay the assistor? It matters. === === This is in California, but any info even from another state would be welcome.

I know that it is possible, but just in case, I can't find the cites. It's unpaid. Specifically, to help him keep organized and on point about the issues. Both, his previous attorney and the opposing attorney managed to screw up his life so bad, that he has not seen his children in a year and was told he needed reunification therapy, which no ones provided. In short order, he has, so far filed contempt against his ex and the attorney, filed for custody and visitation and a divorce trial. Except it's all on the same day. He needs some help! Does that explain it. I remember reading of specific case law regarding this, but I have not been able to find it on Findlaw or google. Thanks Gini. If know or remember, it would be a real help. ~ Dani |

Q. re Court Assistance
Just like practicing medicine without a license, it is illegal to practice
law without a license in any state. So no, you cannot get a non-lawyer to be you mouth piece in court, but you can get advice and document prep. AZ father's Rights has to get membership to get around this law. We can't offer advice freely to our public forums, but as a member, it's sharing information in a "club", and that is perfectly legal. You can hire a paralegal as well, because even though they aren't registered with the bar, they are like a nurse. They can't perform the operation (represent you in court), but they can give you some injections (advice and doc prep). As far as public forums like this, it may not be legal that we share some of the info we do, but it's not enforced in the same way people that get together to discuss medical remedy's in a public form are offering medical advice. So the answer to your question is yes, you can get help without an attorney, but in court, you will be doing the talking. It may seem intimidating, but if you do your homework, you will be better off, not only because you saved thousands of dollars that you need at this important time, but because nobody cares about your case as much as you do. Over the past 7 months, I watched a 21 yr old kid blow the water out of 2 attoney's his ex hired. I will be watching him knock the 3rd down this Tuesday, I took the day off purley for entertainment purposes. Learn the Rules of Court for your state, and get familiar with how to look up case law and the statutes in your state. Little hint: Always cite federal law over state law, because a state judge won't challange it; they hate being over turned. I'm in AZ, and we are the 2nd worst for father discrimination, California is 1st, so I feel you pain. -Drew "dani" wrote in message news Does anyone have any case cites or statutes that allows one to assis a father during trial.

Read my reply to Gini and if you can give me an answer, it sure would be nice. I've checked google and findlaw and have been unable to find exactly what I want. I've read it on the net and now when I need it, I can't find it. GO figure. ~ Dani |

Thanks, ~ Dani Try looking up something like a MacKenzie Friend (I think that is it). I used one in my custody trial (he was a friend of mine, and his purpose was there to act as a dispassionate observer to keep me on track and to write down questions that I might forget to use in a cross (when my ex was on the stand). This was a common law jurisdiction (i.e. not the US) but you might be able to come across sites that way. |
