Finding Mr. Windle and his team during my divorce process, made a world of difference. Mr. Windle and his team came to me highly recommended.
Going through a divorce process with relocation to Germany is hard. But changing attorneys and hiring Mr. Windel and his team, was the best thing I could have done. Mr. Windel jumped into action and made more progress in a few days than I had seen with my previous attorney in months. He is an honest and caring attorney, who will strive to get you the best outcome possible. He is very involved in the process, knowledgeable and straight forward.
If you are looking for a highly recommended attorney or in doubt about your current attorney, the Windle Law Firm is definitely worth considering.

I hired Mr. Roberts and his team for my divorce. They cleaned up the horrible mess that was made by the first attorney I hired then continued to work hard and get the results I wanted for my case. I am beyond grateful for the expertise and professionalism that was shown from start to finish.

Attorney Roberts Family Law Firm is the best of the best in the Orlando Area. From my personal experience, they are aggressive and fight for your rights during the divorce process. The staff is very responsive and gets things done immediately. The legal staff is great with information and communication . My divorce case was stalled for 8 months and I had to fire my first Family Law attorney. The previous Law firm took over $17,000.00 of my money and wasn’t protecting me. I was losing everything. Be careful who you hire. Attorney Roberts and staff took over my Divorce Case in December 2024 and in May we concluded with a favorable Mediation in May 2024. Don’t waste your time and hard earned money with any other Law Firm go right to the elite team of Roberts Family Law Firm. I’m a Disabled US Army Veteran 100% Permanent and Total. Attorney Roberts is a Patriot to our Beautiful Country and supported me 100% and showed me respect and compassion. If you are a brother at arms and served our Country and need a Family Law attorney I plead with you to hire Attorney Roberts Law firm. Attorney Roberts will have your “Six” and you can count on him. God Bless Attorney Roberts and his elite legal staff.

I went through two attorneys before I finally found Mr. Roberts. He not only got caught up to speed quickly but advocated immediately and ultimately got me everything I wanted. David was compassionate, attentive to details, and most of all aggressive. I can not thank him and his team enough for their efforts on my case.

Mr. Ponder is an exceptional attorney, a very focused, informative, and attentive lawyer. Through the process Mr. Ponder maintains a forensic memory of case details even as those that had been provided during the initial consultation call. Mr. Ponder is a very decent lawyer and his personal demeanor is one that brings a level of understanding as like from a long established colleague. Mr. Ponder will ensure that you are represented professionally. I highly provide my appreciation for his service to my case.

I hired Christina’s law firm to represent me during my divorce. I was hesitant to file due to a lot of fears and unknowns. She was patient and professional with me. Never pushed me to make any decisions I wasn’t comfortable with. She was supportive and informative. The entire process was daunting yet she never failed to keep me in the loop. Christina and her team made me feel comfortable, seen, and heard. She was very knowledgeable in family law and took the time to make sure I understood everything that was happening before any decisions were made. I never felt rushed or under pressure with her. All the fears that were drilled into my head about “lawyers” were completely abolished working with Christina and Adia. To say I was impressed would be an understatement. I would highly recommend this firm to any woman or mother trying to find their way to freedom! I am forever grateful!

Christina handled my divorce and subsequent custody issues quickly and efficiently. She and her team were always available when needed, and were clear in all communications. She even identified some issues with opposing counsel's paperwork that could've made things very difficult for me down the line. Her no-nonsense approach ensures that she makes the best use of your time and money, and she doesn't cower when opposing counsel becomes aggressive.
Christina's knowledge and advice are invaluable, and I owe her much more that I could ever say. Ever the professional, she requires a lot from her clients with regard to documentation and doing things the right way, but it pays off since you know that your arguments will be presented in the best possible light. She doesn't come cheap, but she's worth every cent.

Wow, I mean WOW. I was in a panic when I looked into legal help and this practice helped me find the right attorney for the case after clear and prompt communication within a day of reaching out. Once they had my case information they guided me through each and every step with clear instructions, which really put my mind at ease. They went above and beyond to ensure I had the best outcome with all of the options and information at my fingertips and with immediacy.
Could not have been a better choice for me and I haven’t lost sleep over my case since hiring them to walk me through what could have been a very rough time.
Do yourselves a favor a and hire the Erin Morse practice to take the pressure of and ensure the best possible outcome!

Camy Schawm Wilcox and her team are some of the best family law attorneys in Central Florida. Camy handled my divorce and dependency case involving a termination of parental rights. I believe Camy is the only family law attorney in Central Florida who could have achieved the outcome we did, most attorneys in the area were simply not qualified or willing to take on a case this complicated.
Camy was on top of everything from day one and addressed every curveball thrown at us with speed and efficiency, (and boy were there a lot of them). Camy is very honest and straightforward with her thoughts and opinions. Personally, I love that! I never found myself wondering what she meant when she said something. I tend to be blunt myself and appreciate direct communication.
Camy can absolutely be aggressive in court when she needs to be however she’s also very respectful and courteous to all parties involved in your cases. Camy works very hard for her clients and makes it a point not to engage in unethical or unprofessional behavior. Even when the opposing side is engaging in this type of behavior Camy maintains her integrity. Time and time again, the outcomes in the end were a good reflection of her professional behavior. This certainly doesn’t go unnoticed by the judges or their assistants either.
To say Camy is a hard worker is an understatement!! She is a machine!! Camy and her team always communicated with me regularly. Camy even worked my case from her mother’s hospital bedside when it became necessary and it wasn’t uncommon to see an email come through during the evening hours. That said, when there’s nothing really happening (which happens a lot in the court system), Camy NEVER bombarded me with trivial things just to bill hours. If everything was quiet, then everything was quiet. This can be nerve wracking, however running up your bill with unnecessary questions and comments when there’s no reason would be nerve wracking as well.
Camy, associate attorney Leah, paralegals Gio and Shannon, and firm administrator Debbie are an incredible team of professionals who worked tirelessly for my family. They are absolutely the ONLY attorneys who could have done what they needed to do to protect innocent children from being placed in harm’s way due to a biological connection.
I highly recommend Camy and her team to anyone who needs a family law attorney or an attorney for a dependency case. I haven’t had a need for representation in any of the other areas of law that the firm practices in, but I wouldn’t hesitate to call them should the need arise. Camy doesn’t take on cases in areas of the law that she isn’t familiar with and if something happens to come up that she isn’t familiar with, (as it did in my cases) she never hesitated to reach out to a colleague for assistance. That speaks volumes about her character to me.
My cases certainly were not considered “normal” circumstances and this firm fought long and hard for my family until we were ALL safe. For our family, they are Superheroes!! I still think of these ladies often and my youngest still asks about them and misses them too! After going through something like we did with an amazing team of “Superheroes” standing beside us throuought the duration, there is a fondness in my heart almost like that of family that just can't be explained in words. Thank you Camy Wilcox and Associates for all you do!!
The slogan on their website without a doubt sums it up “When you're going through your worst, we are at our Best”

I recently faced a stressful and intimidating legal situation and was at a loss for how to navigate the process. From the moment Michelle became involved, she was by my side, providing guidance, support, and expertise every step of the way. She expertly prepared me at every stage, advocated fiercely on my behalf, and helped me to get a fair and just outcome. Michelle's professionalism, knowledge, and advocacy made a significant difference in my outcome, and I couldn't have asked for a better result. I highly recommend Michelle Stile to anyone seeking legal representation- she is truly exceptional!

My divorce took 1 year to complete. We were fighting a horrible mess that included restraining orders, custody battles, selling our home, etc... If you are going through a mess like I was just and you are trying to keep your head above water, PLEASE reach out to Michelle. Shoot, if you are going through a divorce at all, call her. She kept me calm during every back and forth, she had the knowledge to suggest things I never even knew about and she has that 'bulldog' personality that WILL NOT let you get ran over. I walked away with more than I thought that I would and most importantly, I have my peace back. I don't understand how she remained so firm and steady for me in the middle of so much chaos (if you only knew the battles she had to fight) but I know that she was God-sent; there is no way I could have gotten through that without her. Thank you, Michelle, for letting me yell, cry, laugh and talk it out with you. You gave me a lot of confidence and power in the worst time of my life.

I was recommended to Andrea from an a colleague. Andrea did a fantastic job in representing me and getting me through the pitfalls that divorces always create. Andrea was such a professional as we went through the Collaboration Process. I could talk to her any time during the day and even weekends. She understood me and helped me throughout a very difficult time. She fought vigorously on my behalf but also advised me when to just let the issue drop. Andrea always was thinking several steps ahead of the process.
i would highly recommend Andrea.

Andrea Morgan saved me. Divorce (especialy with children) Is a difficult time for anyone that goes through this process. Andrea was my second attorney on my case. My case should have been a landslide my direction after six or eight weeks with another attorney things were not going my direction like the should have been, I luckly saw the writing on the wall. After doing extensive research I called several attorneys including Morgan Divorce. After my consult it was clear Andrea and her team were the one, knowledgeable, ruthless and caring, difficult to find all three of those qualities in an attorney. She took on the difficult task of taking over a case mid stream against one of the most difficult and unrealistic attorneys in Orlando. She was very easy to work with, she listened and cared what I had to say, we worked together on direction and she shut me down when I was going off off-course. She helped get me the quick resolution (difficult with this opposing counsel) I wanted with a fair and acceptable result. In addition I felt Morgan Divorce was very fair with fees and did not use creative billing like some attorneys. I have already referred her to personal friends and will continue so. I could not have expected any more she worked hard and got the deserved results. From the bottom of my heart I thank Morgan Divorce

A friend recommended Andrew to me as I began my divorce proceeding. I am so thankful she did. Andrew as his team guided me through the entire process, always responding to any questions I had, always listening to my concerns as the process evolved, and always providing expert guidance. Incredibly intelligent, knows the law, and knew the best approach to get me to where I needed to be. I could not have been happier with the representation I received from The Windle Law Firm.

He was honest about my options which helped when I had to make decisions. I would highly recommend Mr. Windle to anyone seeking a divorce attorney.

My case was a little unusual but Erica and her team were confident and allowed me to feel assured that they’d get the job done from the jump. Even in these trying times they were always available and were constantly reaching out to verify information or clear up any confusion. The communication was AMAZING.

Erica was supportive, knowledgable, honest, and realistic. She answered all my questions in a timely manner. My divorce process was painless thanks to her. She got what I wanted for me, and also was affordable while I knew she would still be a shark for me if we had to. With what I went through I really needed her. I also cannot stress enough how supportive she was in the beginning when my emotions were high, and maybe not even always thinking clearly. I highly recommend her and if I lived in Florida I would also make her by my friend, LOL. Thanks Erica! You're a true bad mammma jamma!!!

During the process of my divorce, I felt anxiety from the threats from my ex, fear for what comes next, and a true lack of knowledge of my OWN LEGAL RIGHTS.
Hiring Irwin Sperling educated me about my actual position in my divorce situation.I instantly had the advantage once I hired Irwin Sperling.
He is an intelligent and hard working lawyer that has valuable experience that will be applied for your own situation.

This review is in regards to Lisa's expertise in Family Law...
Lisa is by far the best attorney I have worked with. She is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the law, competent, hard-working, determined, reasonably priced and genuinely cares about you and your case. I had an interstate case that was rather complex. After speaking with Lisa, I knew she was the best attorney for the job. I had called about 7 other attorneys and they were all confused about how to go about my case and they were hesitant as to my next step. Not Lisa! Lisa knew exactly what to do! She was an angel. She is also one of the hardest working attorneys I have ever encountered. At no time did I ever feel in the dark about what was going on. She kept me up to date on everything and made sure I knew what was going on at all times. She oftentimes worked from home into the wee hours of the night (thanks Lisa). She managed to do all this within the retainer fee that I paid and my case was DONE. Yes DONE. She tied up all the loose ends of my case even though I wasn't in the state! I couldn't be more happy with the hard work she provided on my case. Beth, her paralegal, is equally as awesome. Ladies, my hats off to you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking care of business for me and my daughter.

I chose Lisa just off of the reveiws from Avvo, and they have all proven to be true. She is super smart and really knows the law. Dealing with a custody case isn't the easiet thing to go through, but LIsa is so patient and she goes through every scenario that could happen. She very kind, but aggressive when she needs to be. I would email her with a question or concern and she responds promptly. I'm glad I chose Lisa to represent me, and she got me exactly what I asked for.

Lisa Smith is an expert at what she does. She knows the law; she is professional, highly intelligent, and down to earth. She helped me though what seemed like the worst part of my life by just keeping me informed, maintaining a happy and professional demeanor, keeping things in perspective for me in regards to the case. She was honest on possible outcomes of the case, she did not tell me what I wanted to hear - she spoke of real life possible outcomes. This was very helpful for preparing me mentally for the various possible outcomes. It was amazing to watch her at work on my trial in court, she is just very impressive. I would highly recommend this attorney.

Tiffany Ruggiero is hands down the way to go. Being that I had never gone through this process before,Ms. Ruggiero made the whole process easy. Her knowledge and professionalism made every encounter very easy going. She was always available for acting I needed and represented me in a professional way yet made sure my needs were being heard and met. She made me feel comfortable about a situation that I was so scared and nervous about all while keeping my child the number one priority. From her very first consult phone call I knew she was the way to go. For anyone who may need legal help I hands down recommend the phenominal services of Tiffany Ruggiero.

I recently reached out to Attorney Melissa Pendergrass about my current legal situation and after speaking with me she explained she was no longer focused on the type of representation I was requiring. She was extremely knowledgeable about my legal problem but felt I was better suited for another attorney! I felt a review was the least I could do seeing as she took the time to hear me out for free and refer me to another attorney she felt was best suited for my situation. It's difficult to find someone who will put your best interest in front of there financial gain and for this reason alone i felt she showed her true character that my outcome meant more than her bottom line! I really hope I do not need a family law attorney in the future but if I do she will absolutely be my first choice

I am beyond impressed with his knowledge, compassion, and motivation to get things done. I have always been unbelievably impressed with Mr. Frank’s ability to respond quickly and work for our family with such zeal. He is by far the best attorney I have ever worked with and I would hire him again, no matter the cost. He has always went above and beyond for our family, to include early mornings, late nights, and even weekends… He always made himself available, when I’m sure he didn’t have to. Mr. Frank is not only a great attorney, he’s a wonderful human, something that is rare in this day and age. He fights for his clients and truly does what’s best for your child. He protected my child and I am forever thankful. I had the honor of working with Mr. Frank for two years and our family is more safe and secure because of his remarkable knowledge of family law, and his skills. When the most important thing, your family, is on the line this is the attorney you want representing you. Mr. Russell Frank 100% gives his all and will go to bat for you and your family.

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional legal support I received from Mr David Roberts and Ms Lauren Gallant during my recent divorce. From the very beginning, they demonstrated a profound understanding of both the legal intricacies and the emotional challenges associated with this process.
Mr Roberts was not only highly knowledgeable and professional but also empathetic and supportive. Ms Lauren took the time to thoroughly explain each step, answer all my questions, and ensure I was always well-informed. Their strategic approach and negotiation skills were truly impressive, leading to a fair outcome
I wholeheartedly recommend Roberts Family Law Firm to anyone in need of legal representation.
Thank You!

Mr. David T. Roberts and his Team of professionals deserve to be recognized for what they were able to do for me. I was married for 27 years and was faced with an agonizing decision of asking for a divorce. After being referred by an old friend, Mr. Roberts and I agreed to have his practice represent me. I can say that from day one I received the upmost respect and professionalism from him and his Firm. Communication was never questioned, the process-many months-was explained step-by-step as we progressed and the assistance was exceptional. Also would like to point out the helpfulness and patience of his staff. Not an easy road to navigate but I never felt like I was alone as his staff was always available for assistance or guidance. I thank Mr. Roberts and his staff! And it goes without saying that I Highly recommend The Roberts Family Law Firm!

Matthew Rygh, ladies and gentlemen, at your service! Referred to me by a friend, we retained Matt to handle a custody dispute that has been lingering over my husband’s head for 7years.
While there are no guarantees in family law, Matt’s approach, confidence, and notable knowledge of family law is just the reassurance that you need. He is the perfect balance of diplomat and warrior, not afraid and also prepared to fight for you.
He not only came out with the victory for my husband, but also informed him of possibilities he didn’t know he had. If you are dealing with a high-conflict parenting situation, retaining Matt Rygh is an investment you will not regret making! -The Doziers

My livelihood was on the line I needed legal representation fast and I needed someone very knowledgeable regarding my situation. I went online in search of an attorney and I chose Howell, Buchan, and strong because of their reviews. Attorney Brown and Attorney Buchan went over the entire process of a case such as mine and reassured me that they would get the best possible results and when I tell you they did that and more. I'm a true believer in God I had never heard of this law firm , but when I was in search of legal representation I was lead to them. I didn't even chose a lawyer from the city where I live. I highly recommend this law firm and let me not forget their legal secretary Helen Blandon she is phenomenal.

En líneas generales el servicio estuvo bastante bien la atención del personal muy amable, mi única objeción es qué los gastos. Médicos superaron la cobertura de mi seguro , tratamiento que ha debido ser consultado antes de ordenarlo a los proveedores médicos, clo cual implicó una disminución del los pagos , por parte de la aseguradora del conductor responsable del accidente ,que aún no he recibido en su totalmente porque todavía se espera por más facturas médicas de tratamientos . Además esta reclamación a mi seguro de auto por gastos médicos aumentó mi póliza 165 $/ mes a más de 390 / mes.

If you are looking for a firm that will handle all of your immigration needs in a timely and professional manner, then the office of Michael Mendes PA is where I would go. Not only was the staff professional in how they handled my case, but they were also very kind and attentive to my needs. Lis Heymann ( senior paralegal) was beyond amazing. She was always available to answer any of the questions that I had regarding my case and provided updates anytime I would reach out. She never rushed me or made me feel like a bother. I have dealt with a number of attorneys in the past, but the office of attorney Mendez was the only one that handled my case with dignity and grace. They were able to assist me in a way that changed my life completely for the better. Thank you Lis for all your efforts! 🙏🏾

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.
