should I have an attorney

[82nd Airborne]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NC

I have an upcoming child support case but it is not through child support enforcement. It was filed by my then attorney, actually after I had informed them that I would not be needing that office's services. Nevertheless, I have a child support case next Monday. I recently was awarded primary custody of my ex's and I's two daughters. Should I enter court with an attorney or will I be ok by myself? Also, what should I expect? Although we went to custody court this past September, I have had the girls for over a year and a half. The mother, who relocated to Georgia, told me a year ago that she is not going to help me with the girls financially. What should I expect and do you think I wilI receive support? Thanks.

Support will probably be determined per state guidelines. Any deviation from guidelines will have to be justified by evidence presented. Probably the most straightforward process in family law, if there is such a thing.

CSE services are inexpensive and they are usually an experienced and effective bunch, though somewhat overbooked. I would recommend you retain their services for the future if you plan to proceed without private counsel.

POSTING HISTORY. It really matters. And quit starting new threads OP.

If you have to ask? The answer is yes.

And isn't this what you wanted your crappy lawyer to do?
