If someone is being sued for sexual abuse/rape/assault/negligence etc. and they don’t want it to go public so they request mediation. My attorney says that’s good to cut down on cost, but then there’s no jury who would 100% find the other creep guilty. Wouldn’t it be better to go to trial and smear his reputation to cause him some harm like he caused me instead of mediating behind closed doors? Not sure why lawyer crazy about the mediation. Am I missing something?
What are the papers for if he does what he wants. Is it because I can’t afford a lawyer?
I live in Cypress, Texas right near Houston. My zip code is 77429. The divorce should be clean & not too difficult so I’d like to avoid a lawyer if possible. Is there some way my wife and I can agree to everything, have it notarized and just be done?
I would like to file a civil suit for 8 yrs of back child support. The father disapeared soon after I became pregnant and I have been trying to find him and establish paternity and child support for 8 yrs. Finally found him and we live in different states. I dont want to go through the state system to do it if possible. Also the name of a good lawyer would be very helpful. Thank you in advance.
Hello, I want to get a divorce from my wife who is an active addict and our daughter is in CPS custody. She is happy where she is living and doesn’t want to live with me although I can see her whenever I want. How do I fill out the paperwork where it asks for the child plan? I can’t afford a lawyer right now.
Thanks for any advice

My lawyer and case is in another state and my lawyer has not been answering any of my phone calls. I know that she has been ill in and out of the hospital. I live in another state and found out today that I have court tomorrow for motion to compel mediation and discovery. She is handling my case. I have no clue if she knows of the court date or not. What happens if she doesn’t show up?
i have filed and served papers on my husband. my attorney costs 0 per hour. how can i use as little os her time as possible to save money by doing things myself.
here are some ideas i have thought of: file additional paperwork by mail myself (are there any good resources for how to do this?)
hire a paralegal for everything but legal advice and representation (on average what is their hourly rate, and has anyone done this before?)
have as little contact with my lawyer as humanly possible
any other suggestions?
I am taking my ex-husband to court for support and it has been postponed three times. He says it is a conflict with his lawyer’s schedule.Should I call child support in my city to ask if I have any rights?
