Bartlett, IL asked in Divorce, Family Law, Child Custody and Civil Litigation for Illinois

Q: This one is thought provoking. I have two attorneys on two separate civil matters. They disagree but the matters are....

Interrelated. Here's the jist: I'm in custody fight with my ex wife currently. She was on the ropes and losing for being in contempt all over the existing order. I also have pending charges against my ex girlfriend for Domestic Battery and OP. Sounds crazy enough right?! Not enough for these two. The ex girlfriend was colluding and conspiring with ex wife to hurt my case against me with my child. Like they would each testify against me...some real evil stuff. One attorney said hard to prove conspiracy...it's not like TV! lol. I thought of doing a quid pro quo by requesting ex girlfriend to admit to collusion with ex wife in a written statement for my other attorney to get charges against her dismissed. My attorney on the case against ex girlfriend thinks it's a swell idea, but my family attorney doesn't. He said that he wants the judge to come to this conclusion on his own. But we all know it's not like on TV and I feel a written statement admitting would go a lot further.
