Re: child custody / child support

You didn't really specify what it is that you are wanting to do. However, as to whether you should represent yourself in Family Court, I would recommend that you read this article:

It is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.

If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
