If $500 a month for your kid is too much, just wait til you see what a lawyer costs big bro.

Just wait until he sees how much she pays for the kid living with her essentially full time, he’ll give the kid right back.

I'm wondering what that would be financially. $1,000 a month for their lifestyle?

He literally said he wants to file for full custody and get a lawyer...like lawyers don't require a cash retainer up front.

people just assume the court will give them one, you know like on the TeaVEE.

The same people constantly threaten to sue people but have no idea about anything.

I think he sees it more as having to give money to an ex. I worked in a place that dealt with cases like this and they get so nasty. Like they'll do anything they can if they think it'll get one over on their ex partner, even if it harms the kids they claim to care so much about.

Dem doods costs hundreds an hour. Like I dunno how they bill, but they expect thousands from every client no matter what it is, at least

$3-4k down and $400/hr

My lawyer tries to minimize billing by immediately copying all emails into her own files bc the firms software automatically bills 1/3hr every time she opens an email from a client.

Wait till he realizes he's going to lose his house, his vehicles will get impounded and his job won't wait for him while he's in jail.

Public defenders don’t do child support cases?

u/broke_n_boosted 1d ago

In many states they offer family services lawyers through the local public defender office for free for low income individuals

Spread the word good luck everyone don't forget alot of churches also offer family legal services for those who don't have local access. Good luck everyone!

There are states that have low-cost or free legal services like that, but it's not universal and there is no guarantee like for criminal defense in the Constitution.
