    custody in AZ warning a long one

    It seems the general forum is the most likely place I have to place this. Any advice would be great. My girlfriend and I are fighting a custody battle against her parents, the child is not mine, but I will do everything I can to help her with this. A little background, her parents are very and I stress very well off, when the baby was first born they were financialy their for her, even provided her with an apartment. Well her parents had problems with her, mainly and this is insane, she refuses to raise her child jahovas whitness, They decided to call CPS and report her for neglect, CPS found nothing wrong, and recomended she did not alow her parents to see the child, a few days later she found the locks to her apartment had been changed "her dad" So she moved in with her boyfriend at the time , the babys father,they claimed she was homeless and living in her car, Well im going on , and on, but basicly they claim neglect, their was none, they claim drugs, and she does not do drugs, they claim mental disorders , her theripist says she is fine., but her parents are wealthy, and she is not.. We have seen many Lawyers , and when they read the paperwork on the case they point some things being done are against the law, and that she should have her child till proven unfit to raise her, yet her parents have her right now, they also say they need 3500.00 or more to start working on the case. We refuse to give up, we just have no idea how to get representation, lawyers dont take payments it seems. Any advice would be great.

    Here is a link for (Arizona) that might help find a lawyer in your area that possibly can accomodate your GF's  financial situation:  http://www.azbar.org/LawyersHelpingYou/freelegal.cfm

     

    Ok  I'm not a lawyer.  This is only my opinion /suggestion.  Most Replys' are based on information provided by the "original post" (OP).

    She has yet to be allowed to show that the charges are false, we have talked to 7 lawyers so far, number 8 is friday. Im doing what I can to help her but I am currently paying half my parents bills since mom got laid off, so money is tight for me. The father was fighting at first but it seems like he decided to drop out of the situation.

    If the parents have no legal basis for having the child, mom can get a police escort to their house and just pick up the child.

    Are there orders in place stating they have custody of the child? 

    Is the daughter still receiving financial support from the parents-if so, she needs to cut it off and start supporting herself.  She can relocate without letting them know where she is.

    I forgot to mention that their lawyer is judge pro tem for the judge that is over the case. I believe that means they should not be on the same case together, i may be wrong.

    The Judge ordered that the grandparents were to have custody the first day in court, my gf was told she was not allowed to come to court by the fathers lawyer, it truly is a big mess
