Retained attorney made sexual advances to my timid, scared, beautiful niece while he was representing her.
She should contact the Georgia Bar (www.gabar.org) to file a complaint and retain a local legal malpractice attorney.

Attorney answers:
30 day conference/petition for legit. in Georgia
Nobody has to hire an attorney, but it is better to hire an experienced family law attorney to protect your rights and to explain the law. Most people simply don't have the time to do research to learn the law and court procedure. Every court is different. However, the court should have provided you with a packet to explain exactly what forms you need to complete beforehand and the perimeters of the conference. Normally, the initial conference will allow the judge to see if the case can...

Attorney answers:
My Ex-Husband wants to modify our mutually agreed upon divorce decree.
You should have consulted an attorney before signing the original agreement. If Texas is like Georgia, divorce decrees regarding the division of assets and liabilities are not subject to amendment. However, in Georgia, child support, custody, and visitation are subject to modification. As a result, you may have given up marital assets for nothing. You should consult an attorney in Texas about these matters. Therefore, repost the question for Texas. Indeed, if Texas attorneys are...

In Georgia, if the parents weren't married, the father has to legitimate the child before he has visitation/custody rights. I handle this matters for fathers. Therefore, if you need additional information about legitimation, you can contact me at demandingjustice@gmail.com or (770)367-1234.

Attorney answers:
What does Georgia law say about monetary inheritance (not a joint account) and spousal share if I get a divorce.
An inheritance is not considered a marital asset, even if obtained during the marriage. Therefore, it will not be considered in the division of marital property. You were smart to keep the inheritance separate. Some spouses comingle their inheritances with marital assets (including accounts), thus making it difficult to determine what portion is the inheritance and what portion is marital.

Attorney answers:
Will I have to let my 16 month old go to another state when she does not have a relationship with the father?
He has to legitimate the child, if he hasn't done so already. He can file for legitimation and visitation at the same time. If he doesn't already provide sufficient child support, you should seek child support. You can object to unsupervised visitation and request that she stay in Georgia until he establishes a relationship with her. The judge may or may not limit visitation. However, until he legitimates the child and obtains visitation, he does not have the right to visitation.

Attorney answers:
Male getting custody of child.
You will have legitimate the child once it is born. It is a simple court procedure. In conjunction with the legimation petition or after you can seek joint physical and sole legal custody. It will look good in court if you are supportive during the pregnancy and sign the birth certificate. Once the child is born, you may or may not want a DNA test. In any event, make sure you keep records of any financial support and gifts (cribs, cradles, diapers, etc.) If you have insurance at...

Attorney answers:
Can I win, can I sue?
Promissory notes don't have to be notarized. Therefore, if you have the note, evidence of his payments, and emails/texts regarding the loans, payments, and defaults, you should have sufficient evidence to prove your case. However, keep in mind, even if you win, you still have to collect the money. If he works, you can garnish his wages. If he has assets, including a bank account, you can place a lien on those assets after judgment.

What are my legal options?
You have a few options (1) file a complaint with the state and federal Department of Labor; and/or sue in state court (with or without an attorney). If other employees want to join in on a common lawsuit, you must have an attorney. If you want to meet to discuss this further, please contact me. We can meet in my Baltimore office.
