Need Paralegal to prepare documents for Family Law court Los Angeles CA -- 2
Budget: $50 – $0 USD
I need a freelance Paralegal Specialist with Family Law experience to help me file papers in an ongoing Child Custody case. I parted ways with my previous lawyer & for now I am representing myself so I will file all the following papers In Pro Per for now - then I will retain a new lawyer when I have a court date.
I have been involved in a child custody case with my ex-wife for approx 2 years. We were divorced 11 years ago and had 50/50 legal and physical custody which was going fine for years. When COVID hit in March 2020 my Ex used that as an excuse to interfere with custody transfers - and then my daughter refused to see me. According to 2 therapists my Ex has alienated my daughter from me, and despite therapy our daughter is still alienated. My Ex filed for sole custody and I filed for us to get into family therapy.
We've had 3 Family Law court hearings over the last 18 months, and we did a PPA2. The Custody Evaluator did note Alienation & recommended to the Judge that we do conjoint family therapy & individual therapy for our daughter. I still have joint legal custody but after these 3 hearings I have physical custody of our daughter only a "step-up" - currently I have visitation on Wednesdays from after school to 8pm, then alternate weekends Saturday 10am-Sunday 6pm. We've been doing court-ordered Conjoint Family therapy for approx 16 months - but my daughter is still alienated from me. She is being assessed for Asperger's/Autism Spectrum in early January 2023 per court order. The court-ordered individual therapist has stated to me that my Ex-wife has interfered in our daughter's individual therapy and canceled many sessions or refused to schedule sessions.
I need to file new RFO's/motions with LA Family Law Court, including Motion to Compel my Ex to ensure our daughter does the court-ordered weekly individual therapy (which is remote via Zoom video call); RFO for a 2nd PPA with our same custody evaluator from the 1st PPA2; RFO for Modification of Custody to "step up" further to include our original vacation schedule in our divorce Judgment from 2011; and I want to file new Progress Reports from the court-ordered Individual Therapist and have her testify at the hearing about my Ex-wife's interference in individual therapy & in violation of the court's orders for that therapy.
I would also want to file a Witness List to include that individual therapist and our previous family therapist so they can testify in court. Then I believe I also have to hire a Process Server to serve all the papers on my Ex-wife in addition to filing the therapist's Progress Report and then file my Declaration in Support of my RFO's / motions & Witness List.
Please advise ASAP if you can help prepare all these in the county of Los Angeles with the LA Superior Court's Family Law division at Stanley Mosk Courthouse (downtown LA where our case is handled.)
Thank you.
