i was the other "exception" Acadia, still curious why, but don't want to stir things for Karen.

can't remember their full title (type of lawyer/barrister), but it is starting to sound like "family court" matter might be needed, to settle a contact order, with regards to your son. as far as i am aware, all legal advice is free for the first half hour.But you will want to find a lawyer that specializes in family court proceedings. Good luck Karen, hope it all smoothes out in the end.
