Sticky Situation

There's no chance her ex-husband might be open to reason? If he were willing to hold open the demand for child support until she and her current boyfriend are established back in the States, surely it would be to the ex's benefit, as well as hers, as well as the child's. How is the ex going to get money out of her if he ensures that the moment she's back in the State's she get's put in jail or something for child support that she's never had the chance to earn money to pay? Is the ex that horrible, that all he wants is really revenge and not child support after all?

If the ex is truely a monster, why not try to get some publicity about the case in the local media of Kingman or the nearest big city, be it Phoenix or Tucson or whatever? Even if the local mainstream media won't take the story, an independent might. That publicity might be enough to get a lawyer who will take the case on for her pro bono. Even the threat of taking such an action might make the ex back down if he is currently determined to wreck vengence against your friend, no matter if he gets a financial gain or not.

I went to the local independent media in my own town regarding my personal situation, and like magic, three attornies appeared; willing to take on my case. One was actually the president of the local bar association and he made my legal woes vanish almost as if they never existed. Its worth a shot.
