Ask a Lawyer: Can a lawyer from another state be involved in my case?

Posted by Dads Divorce in Visitation , Rules , Procedures , multi-state , license , FL , denial , Ask A Lawyer

Question:

I received a letter today outlining a denial of visitation among some other requests from an attorney in NJ. Florida retains jurisdiction over my case and this attorney is not licensed in Florida nor has he entered an appearance with Florida regarding the case. Can this attorney be legally involved in my case? Should I discuss my case with this attorney or should I reject his letter? Do I have any recourse?

Answer:

I am not licensed in the State of Florida or New Jersey and therefore cannot answer you question specifically to the laws of those States. I do not see a problem with his actions to date. He has not practiced law in Florida and would likely pass the case to a local attorney if something is filed in court. He could attempt to appear pro hac vice in which he would request Florida to allow him to practice for this one case only. I cannot make a recommendation as to whether you should discuss this issue with the attorney or refuse to respond.

Ask a Lawyer: Visitation rights during separation

Posted by Dads Divorce in Visitation , Visitation , TX , Separation , rights , Parenting , motion , denial , custody , Ask A Lawyer

Question:

I'm currently separated and I'm in the process of starting the paperwork for a divorce. However, at the current time my wife will not allow me to see my son. I have been keeping all of my receipts and any paperwork that shows that I have been with my son. I'm the only one that has ever taken him to the doctor and so on. Will you please send me information regarding my legal rights to see my son. Can his mother legally keep me from seeing him and if not? What steps can I take before the divorce to see him. V/R, Perry Larkins

Answer:

Allow me to preface my answer to your question with the disclaimer that I am not licensed to practice law in the state of Texas. You are entitled to see your son during the divorce process. You need to file and request a temporary custody order (interim). You need to continue to demand to see your son before the hearing on this Motion (and filing for divorce) and keep records of everything that occurs in that regard. Make the requests in writing via email if possible. It will show the court her denial of the time.
