  1. Article 1 –Tsinmanlaw.com What to Expect from a Child Custody Lawyer? The laws covering matters related to child custody are often confusing, complex and fraught with loopholes. However, getting in touch with the right lawyer to provide you guidance and direction can also be a tricky task. When you set out in search of one, the first thing that you will notice is the sheer number of professionals available to provide you with their services. The only way that you can ensure making a sound choice is by having a clear understanding of what and what not to expect from their services. This article will help you make sense of it all. What to expect from Child custody lawyers in Toronto: On the most basic level, these professionals have two duties towards their clients – protecting their rights and upholding the law. To do so, the lawyer will provide you with a list of very specific services including: Providing legal advice Completing all legal work Being your negotiator Providing alternatives in your favour Maintaining confidentiality Before you begin your search for the right professional to hire, you must have a clear idea as to what you want them to do. This will ensure you move ahead with a crisp objective and find the right child custody lawyer, capable of handling your case. What not to expect from child custody lawyers in Toronto He/she may not be able to provide you with a guarantee that the case will turn in your favour. Do not begin your search with such an expectation or else you may never find a good professional to fight for you. In fact, you should steer clear from lawyers who make these claims. You don’t want someone who makes false promises, but rather a transparent lawyer who strives to do the best for you. Do not expect them to provide emotional support. Your lawyer is there to find the best course of action to take that will ensure you win for you sole child custody (should that be your desired outcome). Do not expect them to do your work for you. In a situation in which you have to take the stand during the proceedings of the case, your lawyer might only be able to coach you on how best to handle the opposition’s questions. You will, however, have to hold your own during questioning. Child custody battles are a costly affair and while your lawyer might be able to provide you with some discounts on their fees, you cannot expect too much from them. Top legal counsel and services come at a price and you should ensure that you have the means to cover these costs. What should you discuss with your child custody lawyer at your initial meeting: Where do you want your children to live? If you are the access parent, how much time do you want to spend with your children? What are the main difficulties that your child currently faces? Does your child have any special needs or learning disabilities? Did any of the child’s teachers observe your child exhibiting irregular behaviour since your separation? Would you be able to make joint decisions with your spouse regarding the children? Just keep these facts in mind to prepare yourself prior to dealing with your child custody lawyer in Toronto. For more information visit: http://tsinmanlaw.com/
