When one party has a lawyer and you have none, you better have one.
I will respectfully disagree. You just slit your own throat hiring an attorney.
Ever hear of the term "ward of the court"?
You might want to find out what that means.
Kemetstry said:The judge doesnt respect you.
Doesn't matter the judge doesn't respect you or not.
The judge is not the court.
The court is the record.
The judge/magistrate is the referee.
Yes, its true that judges/magistrates generally dislike pro se litigants. So what?
YOU have a right to sue and be sued.
YOU have a right to be heard in court.
YOU have a right to try your own case.
Judges can't just rule willey-nilley as they like (as much as you may believe otherwise), did you know that?
There are rules. Do you know how to hold the judge and the counterparty to those rules?
Ever hear of the term "due process"?
These are YOUR rights. Just several of nearly 1100 rights that you have.
Since these are YOUR rights, perhaps YOU should think about defending them?
Do you believe an attorney cares more about YOUR rights than his wallet, standing in court, friendship with the judge/magistrate, or counterparty's attorney?
I doubt the attorney will care as much about YOUR rights as YOU will.
Kemetstry" said:Appeals cost money.
This is true however, appeals will cost a whole lot less if you ditch the dead weight attorney.
Appeals process reviews the record of a case at a lower level and is restricted to just this. If you fail to object in timely fashions throughout the process, appeals will be a waste of time.
Make the record.
Kemetstry said:Like I said, I've been there. I fought four years. I went to legislative hearings for fathers rights. I formed lobbying organizations. In the end, it comes down to money.
This is true as well.
Kemetstry said:The laws are against non custodial parents, namely the male
.
This is true, however let's look at how you slit your own throat in your cause by your own actions or lack therein.
1) You hired an attorney.
2) The children have birth certificates.
3) Ignorance of civil procedure, administrative procedure, and court procedure of administrative courts.
