You do not need to have an attorney for a child custody dispute in most states. Representing yourself in court is your right and can have pros and cons. However, going to court generally means the parents cannot find a solution, so you are looking at a complex process before you even get to the courtroom. There are several cons to not having an attorney, including:
- You do not know the people and nuances of the local court.
- Paperwork is complicated and takes hours of research to understand and fill out properly.
- It is easy to make filing mistakes or mistakes at a hearing that cost you time with your child.
- You can overlook important steps or strategies that would have benefited you.
- It is risky to fight for full physical custody of your child without a lawyer presenting it in the best light (most courts award joint custody).
In a family law consultation, you typically meet with a family lawyer to discuss your legal concerns and receive advice on how to proceed. The attorney will begin by asking you questions about the matter that brought you to their office. This is an opportunity for you to learn more about the lawyer and how they can help you achieve your legal goals.
