    Excessive Retainer Fee

    Drug Court/Rehab Sentence

    Thank you for the information. I'm hoping with the "intent" and "paraphenalia" charge she won't be offered drug court. It seems too easy. She's "skated" for years getting away with things and making other lives miserable, I hoping this time she won't get off so easy. I appreciate your response.

    When CP goes to jail...

    Found Her! Thanks once again! I had been to the site previously, but didn't dig deep enough....I was able to find out what jail she is in and registered to be notified when custody and/or court changes happen! It didn't give me the charges, but I'll make a call. This helps....thanks!

    When CP goes to jail...

    Question If the divorce was done in Stone County, do we start with that courthouse? The CP & kids moved to Taney County since then, kids are still in Taney, but the CP now resides in an Arkansas jail (& hopefully will be transferred to a "not so comfortable" prison for a long time!)

    When CP goes to jail...

    It was an attorney from one of those "pre-paid" places.....I'm sure she didn't know Missouri laws (and did say that we'd need an attorney from there to change custody). I assumed that she was a family law attorney as I told them what my question was, but you know about "assuming"......it just...
