Reasons To Hire A Lawyer For Child Custody

 

Divorce is hard enough, but add the complicated laws and regulations that determine child custody privileges and you either won’t get very far on your own, or you will lose everything to your spouse’s attorney’s defense. Not only are the proceedings nearly impossible without a lawyer, but it’s best for your children that you hire a lawyer so that they get the most just child support and custody conditions. Other reasons to hire a lawyer for child custody are because

• lawyers who specialize in child support, like you, consider the children first
• even a ‘simple’ divorce is surrounded by complicated law and a lawyer can greatly accelerate the otherwise long process
• mediation typically doesn’t work

General practice lawyers may understand divorce law, but they typically don’t show as much empathy as a lawyer who has devoted their profession to creating the best circumstances for children’s lives. Some couples don’t argue much during the process and think that they can work through the paperwork themselves, but it’s gotten so complicated that even a calm couple can have a hard time just filing everything properly. Lastly, mediation is unsafe in a heated divorce, because it’s difficult not to side with one spouse over another and it’s very difficult to reach a fair conclusion if that happens.
