Q: In the process of saving money for a lawyer through legal aid until then how can i get my daughter back from my spouse?
I filed a Motion of Contempt on the Standing Law Order due to my spouse not returning our 4 year old daughter. She never been away from me this long its been 6 weeks now due to me not knowing her whereabouts and not being able to contact my soon to be ex husband. I filed an emergency contempt but it was denied so I tried again without the emergency I'm just desperate to get my child back. It seems like nothing I'm doing or what I file is helping. My case manager told me I will have to wait it out possibly til March to see my child I'm very disappointed. Will getting a attorney help speed up the process?
A: Hiring a lawyer will always "speed up the process"--assuming you locate and hire an experienced lawyer that is.
