Since you filed legal pleadings you on your own, an attorney cannot just start an oral argument on a motion. You need to pay for an hour of attorney time to review everything that has been filed and the attorney may need to amend the pleadings that you filed. You are not a trained attorney. You do...

Emancipation is not automatic, a motion to emancipate her has to be filed. If there are some facts that you have not provided, that would explain why no attorney you spoke to believes it is an issue. So if you not left out key facts, it would require a motion. However, if she is a special needs... View More
