[QUOTE="Lila256, post: 722436, member: 22431"] Also, in terms of legal questions, I found contacting the court clerk at the local court that would deal with family issues like this has been an invaluable source of information. They are usually willing to chat with you at least for 15 minutes or so to answer some straightforward questions, like if they thought it was worth filing certain orders of protection and whatnot. They aren't a lawyer so they can't give specific advice necessarily, but they deal with this paperwork and the system all day long and they often know it better than anyone. My local county has a court specifically for dealing with mental illness issues, and I could've cried when I was referred to their court clerk by a court clerk at another local court because she was just a wealth of information about what our options were and what to look out for in the future. Your county may also have a local crisis line that may (or may not) be of any help. The one here at least got us connected to another level of in-home support, which may have been helpful prior to my stepson becoming violent. [/QUOTE]
