I never felt alone with Brittany as my legal counsel I had been married for only 3 years. One day my then husband told me he was not happy and I should leave and go be near my family. I was in shock, I had moved 2 hours away from my family after a 2 year battle to beat stage 4 lung cancer - I agreed to move to help him care for his aging parents. Of course I agreed, he was my husband this is what marriage is....We had a home near the Ocean and I thought we were happy, I was. I did everything he asked of me and then some- but it is what you do in a marriage.... Soon after he told me to leave I found out he was moving another woman into my home. I can't believe there are women out there like this one..... it was a dark and ugly time for me. I had been let down and lied to by my husband - I just do not have the words. Well I do but they are not for this review :) Soon after I was sent separation agreements that I refused to sign as they were all about him.... he then threatened to make sure I had to pay all the fees if I did not sign so I knew it was time, I needed someone on my side.... I called several attorneys who all told me that I did not have a case or much of one as we had only been married for 3 years. I could not understand why this mattered, he had an affair- what is the point of marriage if it only counts after 10 years! I was heart broken, I felt rejected by a man I thought to have been my best friend and now attorneys were basically rejecting me as well. I saw Brittany on line, there was something there that drew me to her, I knew she would fight for me and she did.....Brittany NEVER made me feel as though my feelings just did not matter. I counted in her eyes..... I was in fact important to Brittany, or she made me feel this way. All I wanted from this horrible, greedy man was the divorce on the grounds of adultery and for it to be over quickly. She was able to get me exactly what I wanted. When other attorneys wanted 2 times as much and told me that I did not have much of a case as it was not a long enough marriage Brittany was supportive and honest and told me that she could not promise that outcome I desired but she would fight for it. With this I knew I finally had someone on my side. She never let me feel alone. She understood what I was going through and was very thoughtful and she new the law! I would highly recommend Brittany if you find yourself in this horrible situation. I hope you never do. Brittany cares about her clients and winning the case for them, when others seemed to care more about how much money I had to spend, that was the least of her concerns...... I can recall a couple of our conversations that she just let me vent - She cares for her clients and will fight to get you what is fair. She never let me down, she always lifted me up. If I had to do it again I would choose Brittany all over again.

Q. How soon can I file an appeal for family court after the first hearing? Judge made decision but haven't received final.
A: Was your first hearing a final hearing or a temporary hearing? If it was a temporary hearing you cannot file an appeal, unfortunately. The good news, however, is that you still have a chance at a favorable outcome in the next hearing so try not to worry too much.
Q. When a family member has temporary custody of your child and visitation is on their discretion and they want let you
A: What does your order say? Stick to that. While it’s heartbreaking to not be able to see the child, I would advise against doing anything that the order may prohibit or even that could cause an issue. Do you have an attorney? Maybe speaking to one about your exact situation could get you quicker results. Just don’t do anything that could potentially backfire on you during your final determination hearing.
Q. Do I have to hire a lawyer in order to regain custody of my child?
A: Based on what you’ve shared, I would encourage you to hire a lawyer. There may need to be more than just a petition and having an attorney analyze your case prior to filing could be beneficial. This is typically not a case that you should approach alone as there seems to be a few different things to consider.
