Q: What should you do or can you do if you have an out of state full primary care custody and the other party is filing
Full custody and child support, even though she hasn't paid anything in 5 yrs, I never filed for child support. The attorney that filed the response has been an attorney for a long time, but I'm starting to feel like he isn't very knowledgeable about my case or he doesn't know what would likely be the outcome. All I'm getting after the filing is, "I can't guarantee this or that will happen" or "we'll have to wait and see what they say when we start court." He basically said I will pay child support no matter of the outcome. I'm starting to have second thoughts about him as an attorney after paying a retainer already. Any thoughts on this situation?

A: More information is needed to assess your situation, including whether there are interstate issues that need to be dealt with. Though no attorney can guarantee anything, a food family law attorney should be able to give you at least a good assessment or likely outcome for you case, given the circumstances. If you are not comfortable with your attorney you should set up a consultation session with another family law attorney to get a second opinion.
