Family law is really complicated, and I don't think that people realize this until they have to hire a lawyer and work through it. It is difficult to switch weekends and birthdays. It is hard to share the summer. It is a dramatic switch to a different lifestyle for sure.
Thank you for sharing this post. I found it very helpful and informative. Family law is a difficult area because of all the emotions involved in the cases, I have spent a good amount of time in family court in the Houston area. A friend referred me to a wonderful attorney, Marshall Davis Brown JR, who helped me through some tough times.
I really like this blog, It's always nice when you can not only be informed, but also get knowledge, from these type of blog, nice entry. Thanks
