A lady who already displayed some warning signs wanted me to advise her about a child custody case in Germany. In the following conversation, I am the part in dark blue.
I haven’t heard from her again.
By the way, I am surprised by the number of people contacting me, asking me to get a copy of their own divorce decree, because they lost it. It would be so easy to get it from the lawyer who represented them in that proceeding, from the court, or even from the ex-spouse. Really no need to hire a new lawyer for that.

The „give a shit“ factor is important when accepting a client. If they do not care, why should you?
Exactly, very good point!

If I was you, I wouldn’t have identified myself.
And I would never use Google Translate. It doesn’t work.
I have those court decisions including its sworn translations and in total 18 pages hahaa I got headache to read them, I hope you will not :)) Hi Andreas, I just emailed you to see if it is possible to discuss over some points :))
The danger of a headache is the reason I ask for payment. It’s like a compensation for pain and suffering. ;-)
Not having finished my morning coffee yet, Andreas, I almost sent you a $100 dollar monthly donation instead of my usual $10 donation for your blog. I caught the mistake and corrected it. Not that your writing isn’t worth it, and it is Christmastime and all, but still . . . I’m not made of money, you know. Should you ever find yourself in receipt of a $100 donation mistakenly sent to you by me, please send me back $90 of it. Thank you.
Hello Mark,
thank you very much for your renewed donation, although I am terribly behind with my postcards to you! (Less traveling in winter.)
And don’t worry. If that ever happens, I will let you know and make a refund.
In any case, I offer a 100%-money-back guarantee.
