Your family law attorney will be able to recommend options for you to work with the children and the other parent until either temporary or final orders are granted. Be sure to work with your family attorney and keep them informed if you have any concerns.

Family attorneys will ask for a retainer which typically ranges from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. The retainer is usually based on the complexity of the case and the agreement or disagreement between the parties.

As with most types of lawyers or legal offices, a family attorney will typically provide a free thirty minute consultation to help you decide if they are the right attorney for you. Bring your questions and relevant information to this meeting and be willing to listen to what the different attorneys say regarding your case.
