Legal Aid thinks that I have too much money so I decided to represent myself as I am unemployed now. Also the police convinced my wife that I want to kill her and created the AVO that says that I can only communicate with my wife through my legal representative.
Does this mean that I cannot communicate at all if I decide to represent myself? Lawyers want 5000 and more to represent me. Is it possible to find a lawyer who could represent me only for sending a couple of messages? I just want to send a letter to my wife telling that I love her, etc.
How can I do that without paying 5000 dollars?
I am in the same boat. How I communicate with the ex is through her lawyer. This is a massive problem in itself. 1 letter took 3 weeks to get to her. It's a real pain as some information is very important and takes days to weeks for the other party to respond.
Don't send I love you letters, it will blow up in your face. I spent 12 months in Gaol for intimidation for saying I love you, if she's scared and you say 'Hello', that's intimidation, that's how the judge explained to me why I love you turned into a holiday in Gaol for me.
Be very careful brother, these are the times to keep level headed for you children's sake.
