In regards to a friend, her parents have temporary custody and power of attorney over her children, but her ex husband is wanting full custody. Does she need to be in court, or will her parents presence suffice? Please respond asap. Thank You.

Well...don't get snippy. You didn't provide much information. Does she live near her children? Does the father?
The father has what I would see as a VERY good chance to get custody and rightfully should without some extreme issues such as drug addiction or being a convicted child abuser. She should DEFINATELY be at the hearing the way I see it WITH an attorney. This based on the tiny tibit of info you provided here. |

Well, I appreciate your help thus far. I'm going to ask you a question and would appreciate an honest answer... are you a real lawyer or just someone trying to help based on info I provide? If you're not a lawyer do you know anything about law or any lawyers that would be willing to answer my question?

You typically have to pay for a lawyer. Your friend may be able to get a consultation with a lawyer...who may provide it for free. Or you can pay for a consultation on this site.

I don't think a lawyer is required to answer your simple question.
She does not "have" to be in court unless she is ordered to be in court. But if she is not in court, she cannot expect the court to consider her wishes when making a determination. Her parents will NOT be allowed to speak for her, as that is considered "hearsay" evidence. She may be able to file an affidavit instead, but it is doubtful the court would allow it to be admitted because the opposing attorney would not have an opportunity to cross-examine her. If she does not want to go to court, it may be possible for her to give a deposition for the opposing attorney instead. |
