Hiring a divorce attorney is serious business. The attorney you choose will be charged with representing your interests during one of the most important legal processes you will likely ever navigate. As a result, it is not generally advisable to simply hire a family law attorney at random.

With such an arrangement, parties can agree on child custody, distribute assets and debts as well as obtain child support and alimony.
