 Question:
My brother-in-law is stuck in an abusive marriage. He has been verbally and physically abused for about 13 years. In secret he has told me that he is afraid of leaving his wife because he doesn't know what steps to take or the consequences this move would have on his rights to see his kids and on the financial burden it would have on him. As strange as this may sound she has control of all aspects of his life, including his computer time, which is why I am writing to you. Is there any advice you can give me to pass on to him? What are his rights should he decide to make a move?
 Question: My ex and I went through a divorce that was finalized in 2007.
I got a letter in the mail last week saying that my ex's parents want to adopt my daughter. This means that my ex is giving up custody rights so does that mean that the rights default to me?
I haven’t even been able to see my daughter because she lives far away and I can’t afford to fly there so will this have an impact on the case?
Also, if I agree to the adoption to my daughter’s grandparents does that mean I stop paying child support?

What Does David Goldman’s Case Mean To You? Focus On Procedure
It is easy in a fight for children to get distracted, dragged-down in a mudslinging battle of who’s-better, especially when your former loved ones now call you unfit, abusive, alcoholic, a no-good-something-or-other, a monster who does not deserve his children. They all wage their David Goldman battles, overseas or not. At least, that’s how it feels. It will take considerable restraint and willpower to turn the other cheek, but turn the other cheek you must, lest you remind your judge of an episode of Judge Joe Brown and lose focus on the first, most important issue in your case: procedural posture.
