Do you have an attorney? I'm guessing no since you wouldn't be on this site asking this question. I suggest you get an attorney ASAP since it will not look good if it comes out that you did attempt suicide several years ago.

My initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your case.

Re: Scared of losing custody

You have good reason to be concerned. However, if that is only one isolated incident, it may not be a big factor. That is not to say that you should not be concerned. You definitely need to have an attorney representing you.

Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There certainly may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. Since it appears that you have not retained an attorney, you may want to contact a Family Law attorney (either me or someone else) to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely on the advice. If you call me, mention Law Guru and your first one hour consultation will be free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
