for single dad's part 1

Okay so you have filed for custody and you may or not have an attorney. this is for those without an attorney. Now since the process is long once you file for custody the mothers attorney will likely file a domestic violence protection order. Now they may or may not have ever been any domestic violence either way attorneys use this to cheat the judicial system into making a temp decision on custody. now since you filed for custody this will be the first time you and the mother are in front of the judge. do not biccer about the charges use this time to express your right to have visitations. she will likely ask for child support and custody blah blah now most states do require mediation which is a great program even though neither party has to come to an aggrement. i know that this is not very in depth but again the process is very long and i am not an attorney after i filed for custody we had mediation a month later then i waited for our trial i spent the rest of my time preparing for that day which is what i want to encourage you to do.
