First of all she already has a court order and $25 for a consult fee is way cheap try like $80.

Find out what your rights are in your state. If the children are staying with you, then your husband should be the one to leave. It doesn't matter if he says he won't do it. It matters what the law says he will do. If you have a court order telling him to leave, he will either leave or go to jail.


I understand how difficult this is, I really do. I have been married a long time and have come very close to divorce, to the point of physical separation, twice. No matter how bad the situation is, your life is entwined with your husband's and it hurts to break those ties.


But for your sake and the sake of your children, you need to do it. And you need to be prepared. That is why you must to have someone on your side who knows the law and can help you make sure you and your children are protected and get everything that you need and deserve.


I'd be all over that school with an attorney for it.

If I had to ask attorney, I would change the party
when you have to go to such extremes just to have a birthday party for a child, I would not give 1 or have 1 away from a pool where a kid could get hurt or drown. Makes no sense to have to jump through hoops just to give a darn party.
you can pay attorney for an Order To Refinance for Ex; if he can't finance,

I just gave an attorney a dose of their own medicine....sm
A good friend of mine is a general surgeon, and when his secretary is on vacation they forward the phones to me to answer.  His attorney has the usual attorney mentality of charging my friend for phone time each time he calls and asks about a legal issue, yet he doesn't hesitate to call my surgeon friend and want free advice about a potential medical malpractice case or auto injury case.  I got my surgeon friend convinced that we needed to put a stop to this. Sure enough,the attorney called a while ago and I asked him if he was calling in regards to anything my friend had him working on. He said no - that he wanted to just bounce a potential case off of him.  I told him that there would be a consulting fee of $200 an hour for the surgeon's time.  My surgeon friend was in the office and was cracking up as I gave the attorney the message.  The attorney asked me why he was going to charge him - and I told him that it was because he always charges the surgeon for his time!   He decided he didn't want to pay. 
Check with your state attorney general's

My understanding from my attorney is that during the divorce process,

from the time I file until the time it is final, the judge can issue an order forcing him to leave until it is final and a decision is made about splitting the property.


He takes lithium for his bipolar disorder, but yesterday when he was released from jail, he went to the ER because he was apparently vomiting profusely and was found to have lithium toxicity.  So now he's not taking his lithium and I'm sure he will use this as an excuse to not take it anymore.


Check with your state's Attorney General's office.

Yeah, Tried to... even called the state attorney general's office
to see if a medical facility could get away with charging that kind of interest and they said as long as they notified you prior to the bill, it's okay because you basically agree to the terms when you accept that form of payment option, which I didn't but... They advised me that I would have to hire a personal lawyer to fight it and I figured it wasn't worth it for a balance of 200.00.

Pretty bad because that is the closest hospital. The next closest is almost 200 miles from here so they really stick it to the people who live in this community when health care is already sky high and the care is not entirely satisfactory either.
