3.    As soon as the courts are involved, involve an attorney

If you have been presented with documents summoning you to court, you should contact an attorney right away.

If you have custody and want to keep it, you should show proof as to why you are the best person to hold custody over the child.

5.    Attend all appointments made by the courts

It is vital that you keep all appointments by the court and judge involved in your family law case. The judge will look to all appointments missed as a method of you forfeiting your rights to a fair trial. If the appointment is made and you are unable to attend due to a prior appointment, family matter or even a death in the family, you should call to reschedule at your earliest convenience in order to prove that you are sincere in your attempt to keep or regain control over your family law matters.
