Q: I'm currently working overseas and in need of legal representation to challenge the courts ruling.
The ruling has me in contempt of court and subject to 30 days in jail if I do not reimburse my ex-wife and pay her attorney fees within 30 days. I have a compliance hearing scheduled for 30 September.
A: You've indicated that you need a lawyer. You've also said you are overseas, and Justia has the question in the Ohio section with a location in Virginia. So the first step here is to figure out where you have court so you can seek out an attorney who practices in that area. You want to look for a lawyer who regularly practices in the jurisdiction in which your case is being heard.
