False Abuse Allegations and Consequences on Child Custody
In this #metoo era, there is an increasing class of victims: the wrongfully accused. If you’ve been falsely accused, there isn’t much that can be done to remedy your loss of reputation, mental and emotional distress. HOWEVER, in child custody cases, because false abuse allegations are so rampant, the Legislature has enacted laws dealing with this area.
Have you been falsely accused of abuse by your former spouse?
Most of you are aware that if you do not have ready access to funds to hire an attorney in your divorce, perhaps you can have the Court order your spouse to pay them. That would be Family Code 2030. and Family Code 2032.

Postmates. Need a ride? Uber. Groceries? Instacart. Makeup? Styleseat. Need sex with someone within .25 miles of you? Tinder.
Consulting Attorney versus Retaining Attorney in Divorce
I want to start out by saying I have great compassion for those going through a divorce. In addition to the already difficult adjustments of transitioning to a new life (new living situation, increased expenses, half the estate, stress, lack of sleep), you have to really protect your children and pets, making sure that they are not negatively affected by the change. And you don’t know the law, or where to start,
