If you are going through a divorce and have children or are involved in a custody battle, you probably want to know where you can get information about custody law and legal advice to help you with your situation. There are many resources available for legal information about child custody law, but you need to know where to look. It is also important to distinguish between information on custody, law and legal advice. The information is different from the law and is not necessarily legal advice. The information is helpful in understanding the topic and can help you make more informed decisions. By being informed about child custody, you will be able to better interact with the people involved in your case and better understand what an attorney is talking about when presenting you with legal advice and your legal options based on the facts of your particular case.
There is a ton of custody information online and often many resources available that can help you at your local courthouse and probably in your local area. Most of the information you can find online, in court, or through self-help centers is for informational purposes only and not legal advice. Quality information can be extremely helpful in educating you on the subject and helping you make more informed decisions.
When searching for information on child custody law, it is important to note that laws may vary from state to state. Also, “legal advice” is something that can only be provided by an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction. While the overall best interest of the child is usually the standard for custody determinations in most states, the specifics of state law may vary depending on which state you are in. If you are seeking advice tailored to your specific situation and specific needs, you will want to consult with an attorney licensed to practice law in your state.
Parents facing divorce and custody questions or involving a dispute regarding their minor children would benefit from taking the time to educate themselves and obtain as much information as possible about child custody law and legal advice. Being informed and gaining knowledge is one of the best strategies available to you. Parents who take the time to educate themselves and learn as much as possible so that they can properly align important and relevant questions for their attorney will generally maximize the time they spend with their attorney, experience lower legal fees, and see more positive results.
