I need legal help, advice, whatever someone can offer who is in either the brooklyn ny area, Staten Island, or Manhattan. I need a private family court attorney or maybe lawstudent to help me. I cant afford to hire a private attorney, and I'm going through what I'm going through almost 3 years now, If there is a way that you can send me a private message on here, I'd really appreciate it. Because I don't want to put the situation on here, since my ex will see it, and I want my business to be kept private. But I will say this in short, IT HAS TO DO WITH CUSTODY, MARITAL AND NON MARITAL PROPERTY, AND GETTING A LEGAL DIVORCE. I CAN ALSO TELL YOU, USUALLY AS MOST PEOPLE ARE AWARE WHEN THINGS GO WRONG THE MAN HAS TO LEAVE, THE WOMANS PLACE IS IN THE MARITAL HOME WITH HER CHILDREN. I'M BEING PUT IN THE MANS PLACE IN THIS CRAZY SITUATION, I HAD TO LEAVE SIMPLY BECAUSE AT THE AGES OF 4 AND 5 MY HUSBAND BEGGED ME TO GIVE UP MY RENT CONTROLLED APARTMENT AND MOVE INTO A HOME HIS FATHER BOUGHT. I SHOULD NOT HAVE, I TALKED TO HIM ABOUT IT NOT BEING A GOOD IDEA FOR WELL OVER A YEAR, AFTER HIS FATHER ALREADY BOUGHT THE 6 OVER 6 IN STATEN ISLAND. BECAUSE I KNEW ALTHOUGH THE FATHER IS PUTTING MY NAME ON THE LEASE, HIS WHOLE FAMILY SISTER, BROTHER IN LAW HER KIDS THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY THE FATHER, I KNEW THERE WOULD BE A PROBLEM SIMPLY BECAUSE FOR ONE THING I DIDNT FIT IN WITH HIS FAMILY (AND THAT IS SO DETAILED ITS NOTHING I WANT TO PUT ON HERE IN PUBLIC), BUT ANYWAY I DID MAKE THE MISTAKE OF MOVING ABOVE THEM AND PUTTING MONEY INTO THE APARTMENT TO MAKE IT ABSOUTELY AS BEAUTIFUL AS COULD BE, AND SLAVED OVER IT NOT LIKE A TENANT LIKE AN OWNER (no my name was not on the deed) AFTER ALL HE WAS MY HUSBAND AND HIS FATHER OWNED THE HOUSE, SO IT WASNT LIKE A LANDLORD DOING THE WORK WE WERE, AND ALOT WITH MONEY THAT WASNT EVEN MARITAL PROPERTY, A ONE TIME AMOUNT OF MONEY I HAD AND I PUT IT ALL INTO THAT HOUSE, THINKING WE WOULD BE THERE FOR LIFE, AND EVEN IF WE BREAK UP, MY FATHER IN LAW IS NOT GOING TO THROW ME OUT, IT IS ILLEGAL IN ANYCASE. BUT IN MY CASE IT WAS A VIOLENT SITUATION, SO I LEFT ONCE AND WITH THE KIDS HAD A TEMPORARY PLACE TILL WE FOUND AN APARTMENT. BUT I DECIDED TO FORGIVE AND FORGET AND WENT BACK, DROPPED ALL CHARGES INCLUDING A VERY BIG LAWSUITE, AGAIN THINGS DIDNT WORK OUT, HE JUST WANTED ME BACK TO DROP THE LAWSUITE AND THE DIVORCE SO HE WOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT. AGAIN I HAD TO LEAVE, HIS FATHER WANTED ME OUT (AGAIN I WONT GO INTO DETAILS IN PUBLIC). BUT AT WHICH POINT SAFE HORIZONES ACCOMPANIED ME TO GET MY KIDS AND SOME BASIC NECESSITIES, THE KIDS WERE ALREADY GONE AND THE PRECIENT THERE WAS NEVER ANY HELP TO ME. Well I'll cut it short here, now the kids are physically living with him the past 2 and a half years, and I love them more than anything and want my children. But I seem to be getting the run around from the free 18b attorneys, and other free resources available. I dont have the money for a private attorney, the case is in front of not a judge or majistrate, but a referee. I asked my assigned counsel and he says, I DO NOT HAVE A LEGAL RIGHT TO ASK A JUDGE HEAR THE CASE, THAT I DONT GET. IF YOU CAN BE OF ASSISTANCE, THIS IS A VERY COMPLEX SITUATION, IF YOU CAN PRIVATELY MESSAGE ME, ANY HELP I NEED THAT YOU CAN OFFER I'D APPRECIATE, BC I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THE LEGAL INS AND OUTS OF THE LAW.
I SIMPLY HAVE AN 18B ATTORNEY TELLING ME OH, JUST LET THE KIDS STAY THERE BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT IS TO STAY THERE WITH THEIR FRIENDS, THERE'S MORE TO THEIR WELL BEING THAN FRIENDS. BECAUSE AS I'VE ALWAYS RAISED THEM TO KNOW WHEN THE PARTY IS OVER AND THERES NO ONE PROVIDING EVERYTHING FOR FREE, YOU DON'T GET TO SAY NOW I WANT WHAT EVERYONE ELSE HAS WORKED THEIR ENTIRE LIVES FOR, AND THEN WHERE WILL THEY BE. I JUST WANT TO BE THEIR MOTHER AGAIN AND GUIDE THEM AND LOVE THEM, I NEED SOMEONE WILLING TO HELP. THANKS
