HI, my friend has an physically and verbally abusive mother but him and his father are scared to go to court due to mothers usually getting custody over the children. He is a 16 yrs old and really needs help. How can a lawyer insure that his father will get custody. The mother is unemployed

She’s going back to Russia tomorrow. She has an expired student visa and most likely not coming back to the states. Can he do anything to stop her from leaving with his child
Since the child is not born there is nothing he can do from a Family Law perspective.
I have a 5 year order of protection, he also physical abuse me while the baby was present, he has not paid child support and he hasn't had any contact with the baby since she was 6 months of age. I think at this point that relationship will affect her development.
Visitation is a right of the parent AND the child. Unless the child has been abused or is in danger, visitation cannot be denied. However, it can be supervised, meaning the parent with the problems will not be left alone with the child at any time.

Disclosure of all assets is mandatory in all divorce actions. There is no way around this. If some of the money was yours before marriage that may be separate property that your husband can't get but is still has to be disclosed. You should retain an attorney to help you.
