Divorce Attorney Questions - Legal Guardian

In general terms, a legal guardian is responsible for providing care needed for physical necessities of a minor child, and may or may not be a parent. Guardians are normally supervised by the court and file periodic reports, but are not personally liable financially for providing care. A legal custodian is responsible physically, financially, and emotionally in the role of parent. Divorce attorneys must prove to the satisfaction of the court which parent will likely serve a child's best interest to receive a favorable award of custody. For more information, contact a local divorce attorney.

They will size you up as a potential client. Divorce attorneys are wary of all potential clients harboring unreasonable expectations. Aggressive is good. Unreasonable is not. During your meeting, most attorneys will decide if they can meet your goals and provide you with a thorough evaluation of why, or why not, your goals can be achieved. Lawyers are always concerned with their professional reputations. They want full disclosure from all clients to be able to craft the best possible strategy upon credible, admissible proof.
