Pre-Custody Battle Family Law Counseling

When you first learned of the anticipated arrival of your sweet baby, a million things probably started swarming around in your head. Whether you started thinking about possible names for the baby or wondering who the baby would resemble, what you probably didn’t think about was the day that you would be in a crowded courtroom fighting for your parental rights.

Child custody battles are some of the most contentious types of legal cases. As you can imagine, there are so emotions involved on all sides. When fighting about the custody of one’s child, emotions can run the spectrum from anger and sadness to feeling defeated. Many people struggle with the thought of having to put their family’s life on display in front of judges who they don’t believe could possibly know all of the ins and outs of their family dynamics.

While there is good reason for hesitation, we can help you make your legal case and help you channel your emotions in the manner most effective to display the best you have to offer from an emotional standpoint.

This form of counseling will only be offered to one party to the potential legal dispute, as such party may later choose the Family Law Firm for legal representation. This form of counseling provides a safe, confidential, and supportive place to consider your options. Counseling can continue well into the custody case depending on the client’s needs and goals.

Generally, the goals of Pre-Custody Battle Counseling include:

• Understanding the legal process of a divorce from beginning to end.
• Being able to navigate the intense emotions that arise during a divorce.
• Learning how to avoid mistakes that legal clients make (because of their emotions) that can negatively impact their legal decisions, children, property—and ultimately cost them more money in court and lawyer fees.
