    Have you ever done a video on the process of finding a lawyer? Should you be talking to a minimum number before selecting one and are there certain questions you should be asking before deciding which one you want representing you?

      A couple of years ago, I posted a video on finding the right family law attorney. I'll do an update for those who missed it. Choosing the right family law attorney is very important for many reasons. Thanks for watching and commenting. Happy to have you as part of my TH-cam community!

    You need a lawyer who actually goes to trial, not some guy who likes to settle.

    The only exception I'd take is if a woman represents herself. Because she'll be overwhelmingly favored; because the judge, particularly an older male judge, will have paternal feelings for her; he'll rule in her favor. If the judge is a woman, she'll rule in favor of a woman to "stick with The Sisterhood". Because family court judges will rule in favor of the woman, she can go pro se and be fine.
    I saw this in my case where I was falsely accused and had a restraining order taken out against me. The woman represented herself, lied her ass off, and the judge did her bidding. When my attorney stood up to argue a relevant, legal point, the judge just CUT HIM OFF; he didn't want to hear it! So, I would amend your advice to say that it's a bad idea for men undergoing divorce to represent themselves; for women, it's fine, because they have the pussy pass.

      I had to represent myself against my son’s dad who was suing me for full custody, I had no money and no job when I left him. He ended up spending over $35,000 and I spent around $470. It took about 18 months and I had to request the court clinic to get involved. There’s no examination of witnesses in family court. The lawyer he had was incredibly well respected and in business for 32 years. Nobody goes into court pro se unless they absolutely have to. I do not regret representing myself. The other option would have been to fold to his lawyers bullying and not fight before the judge. That’s exactly what him and his attorney wanted me to do
