PREPARE FOR YOUR FIRST CONVERSATION

What to ask a family law lawyer

Start with the questions that matter to your situation. Bring them to your consultation.

Find help with

  • Divorce, separation, and property division
  • Child custody, parenting plans, and visitation
  • Child support, alimony, and enforcement
  • Adoption, guardianship, and protective orders
Make your meeting count

Bring relevant documents, a short timeline, and any upcoming deadlines.

  1. Have you handled a case like mine before, and what approach would you recommend?

  2. Are you familiar with the judge, and have you appeared before them?

  3. Do you generally favor settling or going to trial, and how much of your work involves representing clients in court?

  4. What outcomes are realistic, what can you guarantee, and what is outside your control?

  5. What custody arrangement would you recommend, including holidays, school breaks, and transportation?

  6. How much child support might I pay or receive, and what affects that amount?

  7. What can I do if the other parent does not follow the custody or support order?

  8. What documents and evidence should I gather, what is the estimated total cost, and what could increase it?
