Q: My son’s mom committed suicide and his Aunt has custody through Bossier court. I can’t afford a lawyer; I need help
I was living in Missouri at the time custody was granted to me and the divorce was final. Life was good; I got married again. One night she drink too much, way too much. I locked myself in a room with my son; made a video and I was also in contact with my child’s mom. I filed an order of protection and I filed for divorce. We both moved on. Months later, I got a phone call on Friday from the attorney wanting 2500 or they’re taking my son on Saturday. He’s been gone since 2019
A:
Your post is confusing, so let me see if I got it right:
You were divorced from the child's mother, and you were granted custody.
Then you re-married. Your second wife got violent, while you and your son locked yourselves in a room so that she couldn't harm either of you. You divorced the second wife. At some point, the child's mother as i understand it, committed suicide and his aunt somehow was awarded custody.
What is a "Bossier court"? "They" are taking your son from his aunt? And, finally, who does this attorney represent, and what is her justification for extorting $2,500 from you.
