[quote=Anonymous]Ask your friends for recommendations.  In my case, my therapist offered way more information on what is "normal" and customary in terms of custody and the general divorce process.  My lawyer was great, but he was an emotional vacuum.  My therapist was an expert witness in many custody cases, specialized in divorce & separation issues, and even helped my ex and I craft our custody agreement.

I referred to my lawyer for confirmation of anything important and the lawyer reviewed the custody plan and made sure to write it up appropriately.  I know we saved 10's of thousands having her work with us to create an arrangement that was in the best interest of our child and acceptable to each of us.

Where are you located? Many posters have also recommended contacting the Women's Law Center in Vienna, VA.  Another great resource is New Beginnings (a support group for newly separated people -- you don't have to be separated to join).  They can really help guide you to other resources and many of those women really know their stuff!!![/quote]
