Going through this divorce was the most difficult road I’ve had to take in my life up to this point. Throughout the process Saminski Fuller stood with me and helped me navigate towards a conclusion that gave me my freedom and a positive outlook on my new life. Siobhan Fuller was incredible to work with, she was always prepared, helped me understand information if I was confused by any legal jargon and worked with me to reach the best possible outcome. She made me feel safe, heard and supported during this process. I also have to mention Linda Salazar, I felt lost at times dealing with all the legal paperwork and Linda was very kind and patient with me any time I felt stuck. I’d highly recommend this law firm anytime someone finds themselves in the unfortunate situation of divorce. I can never thank Saminski Fuller law enough for helping come out on the other side of this whirlwind feeling positive and hopeful towards my future

Saminski Fuller Law has gone above and beyond in my case. I was recently represented by Siobhan Fuller who is sharp and detailed with her work. Nothing was hard to understand, thankfully to Ms. Fuller and the staff. She never missed anything, and everything was on point. I hate going to court so thank you for basically being my face throughout the whole thing. Beyond thankful and happy with how my case settled.

Gina-Marie and her staff were amazing. They were very quick to respond to emails. Phone calls. They've paid attention to every little detail where it matters most. I will continue to recommend Gina-Marie and her staff To anyone in need of their particular services. Gina-Marie is a cold blooded, killer, and that's what you want in an attorney And that's the only way I can describe her and her staff. As long as you're honest with Gina-Marie and your situation, you should be golden and good to go. Thank you, Weinberger, divorce.

Michael and the entire team at DeTommaso Law Group were an absolute pleasure to work with. When I began, I could not have imagined the process to be so seamless and stress-free. Their sound advise, legal acumen and overall sensitivity during a particularly trying time is something I cannot thank them enough for. All of my requirements and expectations in settling the case were met and resolved in the most dignified manner. I shall always think of Michael as my "savior" and highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to settle a legal issue through a respectable and efficient process. Thank you, yet again :)

My divorce unfortunately lasted for four years. The sadness, stress, and hopelessness were overwhelming at times. I faced the decision to pursue a divorce alone. Choosing DeTommaso Law Group was the best decision I made in this difficult time. Their teamwork and professionalism helped guide me out of the darkness.
Kevin Lauerman represented me throughout the entire four years. He is intelligent, professional, and strategically adept. Most importantly, he has a kind heart. He successfully advocated on my behalf. I would like to extend my gratitude to the entire team who worked on my case.

Michael DeTommaso is the absolute best divorce and family attorney period! Going through a divorce can be such an emotionally and financially draining process, so you need a professional like Michael in your corner who will tirelessly and fiercely advocate for you and your children’s best interests from start to finish and beyond if you need him. Michael is brilliant and has extensive knowledge of the law and court system. He is compassionate and is an effective and no-nonsense communicator. He is approachable and truly cares about his clients while working diligently to achieve the best possible outcome. My first attorney made many empty promises and drained me financially with no resolution in sight after over one year. I was nervous and skeptical in my search to find another attorney but after my first meeting with Michael, I knew I wanted him to represent me. I finally felt heard and knew that once Michael stepped in, he would bring me to the finish line and that he did. Michael was very patient and clearly explained all of my options throughout the entire process and was always available to answer all of my questions. I am so very grateful for Michael and his assistant Liz who was also a pleasure to work with. You could not be in better hands if you decide to have Michael represent you. I have recommended Michael to many people because he is truly the best. My only regret is that I didn’t hire him first.

Kevin Bremer is a powerhouse of an attorney. You should never need a lawyer, but IF you need one make sure to have someone who has the agility, skill, knowledge and aptitude to get you to the finish line. Kevin is all the above and more and is the lawyer who can and will get it done.

"I unfortunately had Alexandra Coglianese appointed as our parent coordinator. She exhibited bias and manipulated facts to fit her own narrative. Her dishonesty led to false statements, some of which she corrected when confronted. She even presented inaccurate information to the judge, some of which she later amended in an email sent at 7 PM the night before the hearing. Whether this was deliberate or due to incompetence, she failed to prioritize my daughter’s best interests by presenting misleading narratives to the court and making false statements and unsolicited recommendations.
If you’re seeking someone who is fair, honest, and genuinely looks out for the child’s well-being, I recommend avoiding Alexandra Coglianese.”

I have been working with Alex for almost 15 years and she has helped me with two matrimonial cases. From day one, Alex dove deep into the facts of my case, was able to decipher through years of court documents and was absolutely tenacious in advancing and winning my cases. Not only is Alex a highly skilled professional and an excellent attorney, she took a personal interest in me and my children and left no stone unturned. Even when my second case was transferred out of state to North Carolina, Alex recommended an excellent local attorney and stayed involved throughout the whole process.
I can’t thank Alex enough for her efforts, results, passion and dedication. I have dealt with many law firms/attorneys, both professionally (in my 35 year career) and personally and Alex is second to none and at the top of my list. I highly recommend Alex! AAA+++

I will recommend Blair Zwillman every time for your legal needs he is very knowledgeable professional and an exceptional attorney he has been heaven sent he has been there for my son and I on countless times if you ever find yourself needing an attorney this is your guy he is well respected among other attorneys and have a great relationship with prosecutors I can’t thank him enough and I’m forever thankful

I cannot recommend The Law Office of Blair Zwillman highly enough. When my then 19-year old son got his only traffic ticket a few years ago, Mr. Zwillman pulled off a miracle. My husband and I are both non-practicing attorneys and almost lost our minds when we sat this ticket. It was over two feet long and contained 6 or 7 separate violations adding up to a more than $700 fine and so many points that my son almost lost his newly minted driver’s license. The NJ cop who pulled him over was clearly on a mission to more than exceed his quota that mouth as many of the violations he was cited for were clearly discretionary and over the top.
Long story short, we contested the ticket and Mr. Zwillman represented my son in traffic court. He vastly exceeded our expectations and got the ticket down to about $100 fine and just a few points. As a former traffic court judge myself, I can attest to Mr. Zwillman’s incredible skills in working with prosecutors and judges to achieve the best possible results for his clients. He is one of the best attorneys I have ever had the pleasure to work with.

Amy Cores is professional, knows the laws, always made herself available anytime (even weekends), and took the time to explain actions in my case. Several times in the courthouse while Amy was not near me for a moment, other attorneys approached me telling me that she was the best in NJ and that I was in good hands. I certainly did not need the reassurance that I selected the right attorney but more impressed that her fellow colleagues spoke so highly of her.
Also, her staff is kind, courteous and professional. I highly recommend Cores & Associates for your custody case.

My consultation with Amy was on a Sunday morning, proving to me that she is an unyielding (fabulously pink) workhorse. I went in feeling powerless and left feeling confident that she would advocate for me as well as my children. I was right. My case was difficult and of a delicate nature, she handled it with great care and certitude. That kind of support during such a stressful time made all the difference. Her staff was kind, responsive and professional. I am thankful they were on my side and would be happy to give reference.

Mrs. Martone has been involved in my case since 2013. Not only does she take her time to understand the issues, but she does what is best for the kids. Sometimes you may not agree, but she does her best to insure that you understand the issues. Even though she has a full plate she still gives you the comfort of knowing she is an advocate for you.

I hired her because I knew a relative of hers that is a great advocate. I came to find out that she took my money was over an hour late for the first hearing and sent a stand in kid with a pony tail for the 2nd hearing. I guess $1800 was small potatoes for her. She held herself out as a divorce attorney and told me she knew nothing about realestate.

They say divorce is ugly, daunting and overwhelming, all true! That is why having
the right attorney is key.
My choice to have Amy Sauter of Pescatore and Sauter represent me is what helped get me through my extremely difficult and contentious divorce.
Amy Sauter is experienced, well respected, patient, empathetic towards her client's concerns and compassionate.
She is measured in her approach, yet aggressive when the situation calls for it.
If you are contemplating divorce and want to speak with an attorney who will walk with you through the entire process, you owe it yourself and your future to set up a consultation with Amy Sauter.
Amy will personally handle your divorce with the same devotion and dedication from start
to finish. She will do what it takes to get you through the process. Whether it be an email or phone call or a last minute meeting, Amy will never leave you feeling abandoned. You and your case are her priority and she and her team will reassure you and put you at ease during the many stressful and difficult times.
Amy is very conscious not to have you spend your money needlessly. Her goal is to resolve matters as quickly and efficiently as possible with the least economic impact. Sometimes, this is not always possible but it is her first choice. Her patience and attention to detail is so valuable, especially when having to explain the divorce process and all the legal issues. This is so needed to help you stay educated, focused and ultimately divorced with the best possible outcome.
Divorce is absolutely awful! There is nothing easy or nice about the process.
I could not imagine going through it without Amy by my side.

Amy is an excellent attorney, always working in the best interest of her clients. I hired her days before beginning a lengthy custody trial, she was well prepared and successful during the entire process. After dealing with several attorneys, I can say Amy is extremely knowledge in her field, and has a admirable level of integrity. I highly recommend her to anyone who is facing a involvement in a family law matter.

I had three different attorney's during my divorce and she was the worse by far. During a hearing she was actually asking me what questions she should ask the witness. Was totally unprepared. To add insult to injury tried to double charge for her time. Due to her I missed 3 months with my children despite a court order saying I should have them every other week. Was prepared to offer less time with my children than a court order that was already in place. Once I changed attorneys their first course of action was to fix the mess created by Amy by reinstating an order that was already in place. In my opinion I would stay away from her at all cost.

Nonjudgmental, patient, intuitive, expert at co-parenting; I overcame 6 years of strife from a litigious angry man and Mr. Monaghan came along and exposed all of his lies, if your looking for someone that will fight the facts and counteract the lies then he is your attorney, he's expensive and I wish I had more monetary to give as he is a great trial attorney and I will always be thankful for his support and thorough education through my historical trial. He family oriented and he understand the best interest of the child and a "Mothers love".
Thank you so much

I had a highly disappointing experience with Gary Borger while seeking legal assistance for my divorce during my deployment. Given the critical nature of my situation and the challenges of handling legal matters from afar, I expected a level of professionalism and responsiveness that Mr. Borger unfortunately did not provide.
From the beginning, communication with Mr. Borger was problematic. Despite numerous attempts to reach out via email, I found him to be extremely unresponsive. It often took days, if not weeks, to receive a reply, and when he did respond, his messages were curt and dismissive. This lack of communication was incredibly frustrating and unprofessional, especially considering the time-sensitive nature of legal proceedings.
As someone deployed and serving my country, I needed a lawyer who could be both understanding and accommodating of my unique circumstances. Unfortunately, Mr. Borger's approach felt very selective and indifferent. He did not seem to prioritize my case or show the necessary empathy and support that one would expect from a legal professional. This was in stark contrast to other lawyers who were far more cooperative and helpful.
Mr. Borger's dismissive attitude and lack of availability created additional stress and uncertainty during an already challenging time. It became clear that he was not invested in providing the level of service and support that I required. His lack of responsiveness made it difficult to progress with my case, leaving me feeling neglected and undervalued as a client.
For anyone in a similar situation, especially those who are deployed, I would caution against relying on Gary Borger for legal representation. The combination of his poor communication, unprofessional demeanor, and selective responsiveness made my experience with him deeply unsatisfactory.
In conclusion, my interactions with Gary Borger were marked by frustration and disappointment. I would not recommend his services to anyone looking for a reliable, responsive, and empathetic lawyer, particularly those dealing with the complexities of legal matters while serving abroad.

Jerry D’Aniello mediated during my highly contentious and complex divorce, consisting of pre-marital and marital assets, which were both exempt and non-exempt, including bank accounts, stock and retirement accounts. I was skeptical about the prospect of mediation, but Jerry put my mind at ease immediately by explaining the process in great detail and doing so with thoughtfulness, poise and equanimity. His vast knowledge of family law was immediately evident, as were his mediation skills, yet he was also compassionate, had a marvelous demeanor and even a sense of humor. Jerry has a powerful, yet controlled confidence and an impressive “presence,” which speaks volumes, and undeniably a factor in his success.
As circumstances in my divorce were a little unusual, I needed a mediator who possessed a firm and steady hand, who not only understood the gravity of the situation, but could help guide and direct the matter to resolution. Jerry is that mediator! I am very fortunate to have crossed paths with Jerry and I can honestly recommend him without the slightest reservation. Thank you, Jerry. You have my respect and appreciation and I will be forever grateful!

Finished my divorce case earlier this year and wanted to thank Rich Weiner and Patty Ferraro for going the extra yard for me. Their work with the forensic accountant that we selected proved to be the difference. They quickly were able to really understand my family business and no way was the other side nearly as educated on issues of value at any point in the process.

This past Fall I found myself in a domestic violence situation that could not be ignored. I interviewed several lawyers always bringing a family member with me. I was searching for a gut feeling and that happened when I met Sal & I hired him. Throughout this daunting, nerve wracking experience, Sal put my mind at ease& just knew when I needed a kind word to get me thru. Sal takes no B. S. from the adversary & was smart in his responses. Sal was thorough, listened & addressed any concerns I had & always kept me in the loop.He had my full trust and was more than fair with the time he gave me and how I was billed. I felt then and still do, that not only was he my lawyer but a family friend. I 100 percent recommend Sal Simeone!

* If you looking for an attorney to tell you what you want to hear & when you want to hear it, I suggest you move on to the next review since Sal Simeone’s not that type of a lawyer.
Although, if your searching for a truly Great ethical lawyer, with a solid reputation who’s respected in the courts while getting the job done for you and your children, Sal Simeone is your man!!
With close to 30 years experience Sal has dealt with all aspect of family law and I’m extremely thankful for him & his team.
I was recommended to Sal in 2016 from a reputable Morris county lawyer who knew my divorce would be high conflict. I was told Sal Simone would be the best for what was ahead in my case. I’m grateful that I took that advise because after 4 false TRO’s, several motions and a trial for a final TRO that was dismissed.
Sal and his team were always on their “A” game all the time no matter what was taking place. No matter how my emotions escalated based on so many false allegations and my concerns for the children. Sal and Matt always kept me focused, had a plan in place along with making me realize that the truth would come out in the end, which it eventually did.
With all the false TRO’s, many crazy allegations and much more, Sal was by my side for it all, while still being the best advocate for the children.
Through everything my children have been living with me full-time since 11/2017 and still are today.
So if you’re looking for someone who will put your best interest first along with someone you can call SEVEN DAYS a week from 8am-11pm for those crazy weekends, Sal is your lawyer period!
It’s great to know when things get a little nutty which they will, your always able to speak with Sal for that quick advice so you not in the wrong.
Based on everything that my children and I went through, I considered that accessibility to Sal at all times to be priceless for sure.
When you deal directly with Sal there’s no leaving messages in the morning while hoping he gets back to you before 5pm. Sal gets back to you quick no matter what day or time period. Besides all the great points I’ve already made just realize that Sal truly shines even much more in the courtroom.
No matter if it’s a simple motion or days of a trial, Sal is always prepared to do whatever it takes for the children and his client best interest.
I’ve known Sal Simeone since 2016 and we still talk today as he’s always checking on the kids to see how things are going.
I consider Sal a very good friend and great divorce attorney. I have and always will continue to recommend Sal and his team to anyone I hear of going down that rough road of divorce.
Best of luck and just know you’ll come out the other side.
Louis Curcione III- Madison, NJ
Primary Parent of 2 teenagers since 11/2017!
Good Luck

I was referred to Sal Simeone thru a friend with a post divorce issue also. My case was about terminating alimony due to ex claiming he was disabled. He was still working, never applied for disability. This was a frustrating time. Sal continually spoke to me calmly with reassuring words. He kept me focused and on point to the matter on hand. Sal saw thru the Smoke Screen the ex & his attorney were trying to pull. When I would get caught up in the drama & get so tired of it, he would have another strategy to offer. I always hung up the phone feeling he had my back and filled with confidence. The post divorce issues can be just as emotional as the divorce, you need Sal, he is fair, level thinker and supports your interests at all times. He was always available to answer my concerns, and kept me informed on everything. I was not disappointed with Sal and neither will you be. Call him for your consult and after you will feel like a weight has been lifted, Sal will fight for you.

There are so many decisions to be made when legal representation becomes inevitable. Thankfully I chose the best team to represent my name. Laura Mendonca and Cyndi Reeves became my dream team. At a time when you are lost and need a guiding hand, the counsel of Weinberger (Laura Mendonca) proved to be a sound choice. Working with me every step of the way, we mapped out strategy and contingencies for the multitude of challenges which accompany most legal matters. All my thanks and praise to these fine professionals. Thank you Laura and Cyndi for all your hand holding, care and 100% satisfaction!

When I hired Laura she was very honest and direct to the point with my situation. She was aggressive in her letters to the other attorney and actually got the other party to drop their side of the disagreement. Costs were reasonable and money was well spent.

As a fellow attorney, I highly recommend Jess! I've personally worked with her, and can vouch for her work ethic and honesty. She is a no-nonsense attorney who will be straightforward with her clients. I think it's really important for clients to know what they can expect, rather than being oversold on a position.

I have known David Hartstein for 16 years, he handled my divorce and it went very smoothly. He listened to my demands and worries. He is a very compassionate person. Mr. Hartstein is always available by phone 24/7. A majority of my family members and friends have used Mr. Harstein for their issues and were very content with the outcome of their matters. He is very personable and easy to talk to. I would not hesitate to use him again in the future, if the need be.

Mr Hartstein has proved to be incompetent when it is a complicated divorce case and he cannot remember the facts and misapplied the facts without consulting me. Mr Hartstein is scattered during phone conversations and can't retain details . Mr Harstein placed me in a precarious situation and was unable, even after acknowledging his error, to correct the mistake. Mr Hartstein loves to share stories about other clients, wasting precious time and billing for his non sequitor babble. Mr Harstein is filled with himself, manipulative and spent more time talking about himself and other cases and then billing me. The results were doing nothing of any value. Mr Harstein is not technical with the new computer age and using him is a waste of money. Mr Harstein makes it appear that he is interested in your case, but don't fall for his concern, his main focus is to talk a lot and then bill, bill, bill. Instead of Mr Hartstein working on your case, he spends the time bragging and patting himself on the back Don't do it... you will be wasting your money.

What a Child Custody Lawyer Can Do for You
A child custody lawyer specializes in helping parents navigate legal matters related to the custody and care of their children, particularly in the context of divorce, separation, or other family disputes. These lawyers assist with determining custody arrangements, drafting parenting plans, and advocating for your rights in court. They also help resolve disputes over physical custody (where the child lives), legal custody (who makes decisions for the child), visitation rights, and modifications to existing custody orders.
Whether you're going through a divorce or need to change an existing custody arrangement, a child custody lawyer can help you understand your rights and protect your child's best interests throughout the legal process.
When Should I Hire a Child Custody Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a child custody lawyer in several situations, especially when disputes arise or complex legal issues affect your parental rights. Some common reasons to hire a child custody lawyer include:
- Divorce or separation: If you're going through a divorce or separation and need to establish custody and visitation arrangements, a lawyer can help ensure the custody order reflects your child's best interests.
- Disputed custody cases: If you and the other parent cannot agree on custody or visitation terms, a lawyer can advocate for your rights in court and help you develop a strong case.
- Modification of custody orders: If you need to change an existing custody arrangement due to changes in circumstances (e.g., relocation, changes in the child’s needs), a lawyer can help file a modification request.
- Parental alienation: If the other parent is interfering with your relationship with your child, a lawyer can help address these issues through legal action.
- Domestic violence or abuse: If there is a history of domestic violence or abuse, a lawyer can help protect you and your child by requesting restraining orders and advocating for appropriate custody arrangements.
- Grandparent or third-party custody: If you are a grandparent or another relative seeking custody or visitation rights, a lawyer can guide you through the legal process.
- Paternity disputes: In cases where paternity is in question, a lawyer can assist with establishing or challenging paternity, which may affect custody and visitation rights.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help protect your parental rights and ensure that the custody arrangement is in your child's best interests.
What Does a Child Custody Lawyer Do?
A child custody lawyer provides a variety of legal services to help parents resolve custody disputes and secure favorable custody arrangements for their children. Their responsibilities often include:
- Filing custody petitions: Helping you file the necessary paperwork to request custody or visitation rights and ensuring all legal procedures are followed.
- Negotiating custody agreements: Assisting in negotiating custody and visitation arrangements, often working toward a mutually beneficial parenting plan without going to court.
- Representing you in court: If you and the other parent cannot agree on custody terms, representing you in court by presenting evidence and making legal arguments to support your case.
- Drafting parenting plans: Helping you draft a comprehensive parenting plan that outlines the schedule for physical custody, decision-making responsibilities, and visitation.
- Handling child support issues: Assisting with related issues such as child support, ensuring that financial obligations are properly calculated and enforced.
- Modifying custody orders: Helping you request a modification from the court if you need to change an existing custody arrangement due to significant life changes.
- Mediating custody disputes: Acting as a mediator to help both parents reach an agreement on custody and visitation without the need for litigation.
How Are Child Custody Lawyers Paid?
Child custody lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case, the time involved, and the nature of the legal work. Common payment methods include:
- Hourly rate: Most child custody lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer's experience and location. The total cost depends on the time spent preparing documents, negotiating, and representing you in court.
- Flat fee: For simple custody matters or uncontested custody agreements, some lawyers may offer a flat fee for specific services, such as drafting a parenting plan or filing a custody petition.
- Retainer: Many lawyers require an upfront retainer fee, which is billed against as the lawyer works on your case. The amount varies based on the expected complexity and duration of the case.
- Sliding scale or pro bono services: Some lawyers may offer reduced fees or pro bono (free) services for clients with limited financial means, particularly in cases involving domestic violence or other serious issues.
It’s important to discuss fees and payment arrangements with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how much you will be charged and what services are included.
How Much Does a Child Custody Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a child custody lawyer depends on various factors, including the complexity of the case, whether it’s contested or uncontested, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost estimates include:
- Uncontested custody cases: Legal fees may range from $1,500 to $5,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the paperwork and any negotiations.
- Contested custody cases: Legal fees can range from $5,000 to $40,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the issues, the need for expert testimony, and the time spent in litigation.
- Hourly rates: Lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, with higher rates for more experienced attorneys or complex custody disputes.
- Mediation services: If both parents agree to work through mediation, costs typically range from $1,000 to $5,000 or more for the mediation process.
Always ask for a clear cost estimate during your consultation to ensure that you understand the total legal fees and payment structure.
Top Questions to Ask a Child Custody Lawyer
Before hiring a child custody lawyer, it’s essential to ask the right questions to ensure they are the best fit for your case. Some key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with child custody cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, especially if your case involves complex issues like domestic violence, relocation, or paternity disputes. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees for certain services, or requires a retainer, and ask for an estimate of the total cost. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and expected outcomes. -
How long will the process take?
Inquire about the expected timeline from filing the petition to reaching an agreement or going to trial. -
Will you personally handle my case?
Ensure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court. -
Can we pursue mediation or alternative dispute resolution?
Ask whether the lawyer recommends mediation or other forms of dispute resolution to avoid a lengthy court battle.
How to Check the Credibility of a Child Custody Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable child custody lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and experience:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for family law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in family law and child custody cases.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge the lawyer’s professionalism and success in child custody matters.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on custody cases.
- Check for certifications: Look for lawyers who are board-certified in family law or have memberships in organizations like the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) or local family law sections.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a child custody lawyer, come prepared with relevant documents and information:
- Court orders or existing custody agreements: Bring copies of any existing custody or visitation orders for the lawyer to review.
- Communication with the other parent: Provide copies of emails, texts, or letters regarding custody, visitation, or disputes.
- List of your child’s needs: Prepare a list of your child’s specific needs, such as medical care, education, and extracurricular activities.
- Timeline of the case: Outline key events related to your custody case, including changes in living situations or parental involvement.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions about the custody process, legal fees, and the lawyer’s strategy for your case.
By being well-prepared, you can help the lawyer assess your situation effectively and receive the best possible advice for protecting your rights and your child’s well-being.
