Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
Re: Writing a letter to the judge?
Hello,
We have an extremely difficult situation with my husbands ex wife. They have been divorced for 12 years and we have some very interesting information that we know will never come out in court including my stepson telling us that the judge (whom has since committed suicide) made the wrong decision in giving his mother full custody of his brother & himself 12 years ago. My husband and I want to write a letter to the judge that we were last in front of 4 years ago to explain some things that are and have been going on for years. Would you recommend us doing that? We flat out do not have the money for an attorney. Thank you in advance, I appreciate this service that you all provide.

Re: Re: Writing a letter to the judge?
I would be cautious regarding any information
provided by your stepson which would be used in a letter to a judge who may still have responsibility for whatever case(custody, presumably)it is in which you appeared before him four years ago.
If you are determined to write such a letter to this judge, I would spend the money required
to have a lawyer review it(no more than one hour
of his or her time)before you send it and who, ideally, is familiar with both the judge and the court in which he presides.
If for whatever reason you cannot or do not want to heed this advice, and you may need to appear again before this judge on this same matter, I would not send any letter at all, if I were you,
particularly one based on the hearsay allegations of a boy involving a now deceased member of the court which, presumably, have not been(or cannot be)verified in any substantive manner.
