A: Yes, anyone can sue for anything at any time.

The issue, in my opinion, is whether you can find a lawyer to accept the case on a contingency. That means the lawyer would not get paid unless the case settles/goes to trial with a verdict for you.

I think you will have a difficult time getting a lawyer and if you do..........COLLECTING ANY MONEY. IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE SHE HAS ASSETS.

however, you may not be looking for money and just to get her ordered to do what is in the kids best interest. Again, will a lawyer take a case like this other than on an hourly?
