Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana
I am 14 almost 15 and am wondering if I am able to get a lawyer/attorney. Reason: Dad suing mom for 4000 dollars. If she does not pay, she goes to jail. Are there free ones? Can you name some in louisiana or close by?
He divorced her because he was dating someone else.
Thanks

Why is he suing her for $4,000? If she does not pay, she will NOT go to jail unless it is for back child support and a Judge ruled she owes the money and put her on probation. I am not in your zip code so I cannot help you. Someone is worrying you needlessly. If its either of your parents, shame on them! Heck, shame on anyone who is making this more than it is. The US does not have debtor prisons anymore, unless, as I said above, it is for back owed child support and she has been to court at least twice about what she owes for child support.
While Mr. Pizzolatto is correct, I suggest you contact the Southeast Louisiana Legal Services Corporation (sometimes known as "Legal Aid".
