DadLane
What to bring to a lawyer
About
Dates, the orders you already have, and what the child needs. A folder for the first meeting with a lawyer. Not a script, and not legal advice.
DadLane wrote this sheet. It is free. It is not medical, legal, or financial advice.
Who this is for
Dads about to sit down with a lawyer about custody, child support, or a court date.
