Expert's Assistant chat
Customer: I need legal aid assistance in Tampa Bay Florida with a child custody issue.
JA: Who currently has legal custody?
Customer: This is a brand new case now filings or orders until approximately 2 weeks ago by the child's father's family. I am the father of the mother and she is incarcerated in the county jail in Tampa Bay. She has only days to respond to the motion that has been filed. She was served December 20th and she has 20 days from that date to respond or lose all privelages and rights over her daughter. There are several details that are imperative that needs to shared.
JA: Has a custody order been entered or modified?
Customer: Sorry...No current orders.
JA: Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: The child is 1 year old. There is a filing but no orders.

I am so sorry your daughter was arrested and is now facing a child custody dispute.  It is in her best interest to hire a family law attorney to prepare and file a Response to the Petition.  Does she have an attorney yet?

Customer
No she doesn't.
Customer
That is what I need help with. Finding someone who can help.

Ok unfortunately we do not represent clients in court.  We are an online service where we answer your legal questions.  You stated she is located in the Tampa Bay area.  Is she in Hillsborough or Pinellas County?

Customer
Hillsboro

I need an attorney who can help. I paid $5.00 for someone to tell me you only answer legal questions? I need an attorney who can help with the case.
