Do I Need An Attorney In Family Court?
Do I need a lawyer? The answer is YES.
It's only Family Court right? The answer is a big NO.
The Family and Probate Court is a complex system. The Court's decisions impact you and your family's future greatly.
Family Court is most often used to get a contested or uncontested divorce, obtain or modify child support/custody and spousal support orders and to obtain an order of protection in abusive situations. All of these events may affect you for years regarding support/custody; can be a significant cost to you if you violate a court order; and, may get you arrested if you violate an order of protection.
My approach with clients is to explain the court process and how I will represent them to get the best outcome possible. I zealously advocate for all my clients to get them what they deserve and to protect their rights.
So rather than getting stuck with a child support order that is too high or low, or getting a custody order that should have been better negotiated to get more favorable results, or getting bullied in a divorce action, consider retaining an experienced family law & divorce attorney to guide you and advise you. While like everything else it does cost money, the goal is to save you money or loss of your freedom or rights.
