The Seven Things that Make Family Law Attorneys NOT Want to Represent You

By Nicolette Klapp, of counsel to The Carson Law Firm

1. Unrealistic expectations
2. Anger/bitterness (usually built through years of oppressed resentment or a cheating spouse)
3. Talking to other people that have been through a divorce, or who offer their legal advice
4. Drastic income discrepancies resulting in high child support and/or maintenance
5. Drawing lines in the sand and being completely inflexible on all issues
6. Constant “what if” questions
7. Use of kids as bargaining chips or leverage
