Does having a lawyer in a child support case really matter? -

My ex and I get along fairly well but she simply just found someone else. I am in college and only work on the weekends, so would having a lawyer with me at the hearing benefit at all?

Yes Most definitely. Best advice is to ask a local attorney. Most will NOT charge for a first visit. Here are some great city-specific legal directories to help you find one: http://www.san-francisco-oakland-bay-are... http://www.sacramento-ca-lawyers-attorne... http://www.la-orange-county-lawyers-atto... http://www.las-vegas-nevada-lawyer-attor... http://www.san-jose-ca-lawyers-attorneys... http://www.sacramento-ca-lawyers-attorne... http://www.dallas-fort-worth-texas-lawye... http://www.new-jersey-lawyers-directory.... http://www.legal-advice-library.info http://www.san-antonio-texas-lawyers-att... http://www.brokerforyou.com/san-diego-re... http://www.new-jersey-lawyers-directory....

What would really benefit you would be to document EVERYTHING! A lawyer is helpful in case your ex decides to get nasty. Good luck!

Unless you have agreed on everything in advance, yes, you should have a lawyer. I am the guy who used to decide these things. While I tried to get all the information I needed, I sometimes was not able to do so. A lawyer can make sure it is all there.
