Why Do I Need A Divorce Attorney? 

Divorce is never an easy process even when those involved are on good terms. Emotions get in the way and a once calm situation can quickly spiral out of control.

When you make the choice to work with an experienced divorce attorney, you’ve taken the first step to ensuring that the divorce will be fair. Your attorney can act as a mediator and will make sure that everything follows the letter of the law. This will ensure that no mistakes are made, that a clear and binding agreement is in place, and that the overall stress levels are reduced. 

How Do I Know If I Need A Child Custody Attorney?

You may be unsure if you need a child custody attorney. The following are signs that you may want to seriously consider speaking with an attorney about your custody situation: 

1. Your case crosses jurisdictions: Do you and your ex live in different states or even different countries? This can greatly complicate the situation given that different areas have different laws regarding child custody. 
2. You believe that you or your children may be in danger: If you suspect that your child will be in danger if they spend time with your ex then you NEED to speak with an attorney as quickly as possible. Without strong legal representation, it can be difficult to show a court that you and your child need to be protected from harm. 
3. Life changes are complicating the situation: Have you been offered a new job that will require you to relocate? Are you remarrying? If any major life changes are going to take place, it’s wise to consult with a lawyer. 
4. Your ex has hired an attorney: If your ex has informed you that they are working with legal representation, it’s in your best interest to hire your own attorney.

Don’t wait – your time with your kids is precious. Call now. 

Can An Attorney Really Help With My Child Support?
