A: I am so sorry that this happened to you. Your question went out to attorneys that file patents for inventions. There is not a category for paRents which is what you may have been trying to hit. You may want to add Family Law to the category set.

You may want to contact Legal Aid near you to see if they can point you in the right direction. If people have been diverting payments that should have gone to you, then that is a serious situation and you need legal help.

Good Luck.
