ATTORNEY TRICIA DWYER'S ANSWERS TO LEGAL QUESTIONS:

Legal question: My 10 y old txtd me she doesn't want to be with her dad & is thinking of killing herself. My lawyer told me he's not comfortable asking to stop 50 50 & give me sole custody & he's withdrawing. Help.Attorney Tricia Dwyer's answer: Hello. Thank you. You are not alone, and neither is your beloved child, and your other loved ones.  I've had specialized training, and special experience in mental health and illness including suicide ideation (thinking about committing suicide). First things first. Call 911 if there's worry or fear of imminent danger of bodily harm or death. Another option is getting the child to an emergency room. As to somewhat lesser degrees of worry and fear, typically med' ins' cards have a 24 hr. nurse/other health care providers line to phone. Health care providers include child psychiatry, child mental health, primary care. Presumably the child's in school, so there's teachers, and often school counselors and social worker/psychologist sorts of staff. As to you choosing a replacement attorney, I recommend you make many phone calls, send out emails, in choosing - be a good consumer of attorney legal services. Each and every att'y is different from any other; each unique. Based on what you wrote, I would deem the situation a legal emergency, as well as a health care emergency.  Excellent your child is open and feels safe to share with you. Of course have good help now - for all of you.
