Re: Hearing for custody from hrs

You are to be commended for getting this far in the system without the assistance of an attorney. However I believe you are going to get what you have paid for; if you expect custody of the child I would STRONGLY ENCOURAGE you to retain an attorney who practices in that area of the law. The hearing is a Status Conference.
