How to Use a Lawyer to Get Custody

Your lawyer can help you reach a joint custody agreement or get sole custody in cases where it is in the best interest of the child. Absent an agreement with the other parent, the ultimate decision regarding sole custody is up to the judge, but a lawyer can help you prepare your case and collect all the information you may need. Your attorney can also help you understand what criteria the judge will use to make their determination and will know the best way to present the evidence to the judge on your behalf. Whether pursuing sole custody is a plausible path for your specific situation is also something that your attorney should address with you right away. In instances where sole custody is being sought, any evidence you have of a situation that is not conducive to the child’s best interests would be helpful to your lawyer. Your lawyer can also assist you in the best way to collect the evidence you may have.
