Why should I hire an attorney, its just a bunch of paper work isn it?
No one says you can’t represent yourself. But the old saying goes “he who represents himself in Court has a fool for a client”. Hiring an attorney should be given serious consideration when dealing with a family law problems. Whether it’s a plain vanilla agreed/uncontested divorce or the modification of child custody, the Judge will presume you know the law as it pertains to your case and understand the rules of the Court when you are before the Court requesting relief. The law is ever changing and its complexity is overwhelming at times even for those whose practice law. Without an attorney’s legal experience and knowledge on your side, you may be at a distinct disadvantage.
