Re: Child Custody
Hello. It would be best
to have your own lawyer,
however if you cannot
get pro bono representation,
you can work through your
son's court appointed attorney
because custody hearings are
geared toward what is in the
best interest of child. In
other words stay in touch with
the child's attorney, talk
to him or her regularly and
let their representation of
the child benefit you since
they are already recommending
that your wife retain custody.
I hope my suggestions help.
