As a result of some underhanded shenanigans at the recent Legion World Sadie Hawkins Dance, I now have a Daughter, Opal Janell Quank.
However the mother of that beautiful baby girl is attempting to deny me my parental rights and has been publicly running around with other men. (not that I care much about the second part, but it is smear material)
I have decided to sue for custody of my daughter, and I would like to retain your firm to represent me in this battle. I also plan to retain the esteemed Semi Radiant Fellow, and any and all other Space Lawyers on legion World.
If you are willing to represent me please obtain a restraining order Post-Haste!
P.S. As the Official Legion World janitor, I have a long standing High Paying Job, plus I know where all the other posters money cashes are, so money is no object... So SIC HER!!!!!!!

Hey Quis... ain't ran into you in awhile. Just checking in to say Hi.
"Hi."
How's it going? You don't happen to be a Red Sox fan do ya?
To get this back on topic (so you can bill it of course), what are your impressions about the movie, "The Firm"? Do you think it would have been better had it been set in space?

Mr. Quank,
Congratulations on the birth of your daughter.
First, you do not want a restraining order. You want the court to award you sole custody. You also want to get custody immediately. For that you would need to file a motion to be awarded temporary custody.
To get sole custody, you need to prove that the other parent is unfit to raise the child.
To get temporary custody, you would need to show that the child is in danger. Even if you get temporary custody, the other parent can request visitations until her/his parental rights are terminated.
If you can't show danger to the child, you still have parental rights. And as such you can also request that the court grant you visitation rights.
Please see my receptionist, Bruce the Spearman about signing a retainer agreement and payment of the retainer. We will need to have a conference to discuss whether you can get sole custody or if a joint custody arrangement can be worked out.

I gave two sacks of Valentian Walking Money to your cute receptionist and I'll be ready for the conference as soon as he moves the point of his spear away from my back...

If you are quite through with Bruce, please come into my office.
I have been doing some research while you were paying your retainer. I don't see that the mother of your child has denied you access to your daughter.
Might I suggest that before we initiate any court proceding you first talk to the mother. I have some private conference rooms suitable for just such personal conversations. I also provide mediation services and think a fair and reasonable plan for raising your daughter can be worked out between the two of you.

I wouldn't stop suddenly on your walk back to the Conference Room. Sounds like you've already got enough relationship troubles without giving the Spearman the wrong idea...

Umm...I don't quite think anyone grasp the situation. That father has not been denied access to the child, I just find the man to be a pig, you see he cheated on his wife with me. I feel that this man is unfit to raise a child and as I stated before: I'm the Lady of the Lake, I'm a demi-goddess. I'm powerful, I run my own dimension which has a nice island. I train priestesses. I can provide the ultimate protection. And I'm rich.
And this isn't my first child, I have had 34 other mortal children that all lived out happy and prolonged lives.
Er...since I couldn't reach you, we've settled out of court in the meantime. Reboot may now need some... creative assistance in justifying LW expenditures during the inter-administration audit, but that's no longer my affair.
sorry to have bothered you.

My Dear High Priestess Viviane,
I am not the one who would make the decision regarding custody of yours & Mr. Quank's child. That would be up to the judge.
Also as Mr. Quank paid me a retainer, I cannot offer you any advice as that would be a conflict of interest.
I have offered my services as a mediator (no conflict here because the parties and not the mediator makes the decision). I am sure you and Mr. Quank can work out a joint custody arrangement that will work out best for your child.
I will say that in all custody disputes, the standard for the decision is the best interest of the child.

No bother at all.
