  • My first experience with Just Answer has been better than I ever thought possible. I had a fairly complex legal question regarding Medicare provider regulations. For a week I had been trying to find an attorney familiar with Medicare but to no avail. I really didn't expect anyone at Just Answer to know anything about this issue. Yet the attorney who answered my question, Dimitry Alexander Kaplun, Esq., not only answered the question but cited the specific Medicare regulation in question. For six years, I was a Westlaw representative so I've worked with hundreds of attorneys. Some attorneys are knowledgable and some aren't, especially about administrative law. But Mr. Kaplun clearly had an exceptional understanding of the issue and was able to explain it concisely. I would recommend Just Answer to anyone. Great service that lives up to it's promises!

My children and I are victims of Domestic Violence and Abuse.

 
 
 

Customer Question

My children and I are victims of Domestic Violence and Abuse. There was no expert witness for my husband and the Judge gave my husband the sole custody of the minors. There is medical neglect, my one son walked on a broken foot for two years. The children have not been to a dentist in three years. I have to send child support monthly and he is employed by the FAA so it is not a money issue. Both have threatened to commit suicide to get away from him. They are 1,000 miles from me. All my contact was cut with no explanation. I saw his attorney writing Orders with wording that the Judge never said. I have been a stay at home mother for 30 years and I do not have the resourses to fight this. To me the courts are now making it impossible to get help in these situations. I know of other mothers experiencing this. Please advise. This is wrong, and not in the best interest of children.

Optional Information

State/Country relating to Question: Virginia

Already Tried:
It would take a dissertation to tell all that I have tried so far. A Professor at XXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX University, who is head of the domestic violence curriculum said that everything that has happened so far is against the Constitution and not illegal. How does one fight corruption. She suggested going to the media.

Response From Expert

Thank you for contacting our JA team for guidance. We are happy to assist you. However, we need a bit more information to more fully answer your question.

Please let me know in what state your children reside. When did the court grant your husband custody? Are you now divorced? Are there proceedings still pending?


NOTE: Sometimes we receive your question before we receive your additional "optional information". If my response does not appear to consider your optional information, please let me know as I was probably not able to view it when your question was first received.

<p>The Final Decree was signed in the Circuit Court of Fairfax, County, Fairfax, Virginia on Dec. 5, 2008.</p><p> </p><p>The two minor children live in Dakota County, Minnesota. They have taken themselves to CPS, talked to school counselors. I tried to get it addressed in the Courts in that county but the Judge is holding it on his bench in Fairfax. The children have been there since Feb. 07</p>

I can view your additional information now. It is a very difficult situation when courts (who act with complete immunity) do not abide by the law or take into account the best interests of the children.

Here are resources you can contact in the Dakota County area: http://www.google.com/search?q=dakota+county+minnesota+domestic+violence&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

I would start calling some of them right away. In addition, I would contact CPS regarding the plight of your children and despair they must be feeling if they are suicidal. I would also contact school officials, including counselors to see whether they would be of any help to you in regaining custody of your children.

Finally, the MN state bar association can provide you with attorney referrals as well as low cost and pro bono programs that may be available in the Dakota County area. You can also look for family law attorneys willing to fight for the children and request that their father pay the attorneys fees since he is the primary financial provider.

If you can find legal assistance, they can register the judgment in MN and you would have a different court and new hope for your childrens' well-being.

Please let me know if you need additional information.


Best regards XXXXX XXXXX

I hope this is still talking to Tina. My former husband's attorney wrote in the order that I could not contact any officials. He wrote in the Order that I could have no say in their educational, or medical matters. It is evil. And the Judge did not say these words. The Judge did confiscate a supeona that was supposed to be served to Jim in court. I have never experienced such corruption.

 
 
 
 
 
 

Accepted Answer

Wow. You CAN contact various agencies and the MN state bar for help. I would do everything possible to get help in MN, get the order registered there and this language taken out of any new order as it tramples on your rights as well as the children's rights.

I am very sorry you have experienced such corruption. Please don't give up! One day at a time is all any of us can do.

All the best to you!
