It cost me a lot of time and money to get custody of my three boys and a whole helluva lot of mistakes on her part. The hardest part for me was listening to the attorneys (3 counting G.A.L.) and not going off half cocked and hard headed doing stuff my way. Like doekiller said, get a Mobile attorney, then request and pay for a G.A.L. and hope you get a good one like I was fortunate enough to have.
