WAY OFF TOPIC HERE, BUT CAN ANYONE HELP??? A LAWYER IN THE HOUSE MAYBE???

[RPM]

I know a few of you guys around here are lawyers so maybe one of you can help. a close "friend" of mine is currently trying to win custody of his two kids.

currently the mother has physical custody and they have 50/50 legal custody.

the first court hearing, the judge ordered a social services evaluation. well the evaluation was just filed and it found heavily in favor of my friend. the social services lady RECOMMENDED HE GET 100% PHYSICAL AND LEGAL CUSTODY.

now the question i need answered is WHAT PERCENT OF THE TIME DO JUDGES GO AGAINST THESE RECOMMENDATIONS???

THANKS GUYS

Boy should be with his mother until he is 16 period, your freind owes child support and alimony, end of story.

Rail: How you can post such an idiot answer like that witout knowing the facts. Your bam-bam end of story bullshit is lame at best.
Settle-down and have a cream-soda.

guy needs to go to his pastor with his wife, they need to pray and work it out. any other way, kid loses out.

GMON,

I listen to Dr. Shesslinger on the radio, I know how it works.

RPM,

Who cheated on who? and who is on drugs and alcholol?

 

[RPM]

rail,

this marraige ended several years ago, so the reason it ended is really irrelevant. but if you must know, she did cheat on him.

there are no drugs or alcohol involved in this at all. the s.s. lady found in my friends favor because the mother was interfering with the father/children relationship.

now, i would really like to get some knowelegable feedback on this, so please dont dumb it up bud.

thanks.

I can tell you that in my case the social services persons opinion weighed heavily on the judges decision. So yes, that is a big plus for him.
