Hello. Can someone please give me a name of a divorce attorney who also deals with child custody. Against my beliefs and will, my husband is filing for a divorce and he already has an attorney. We have a daughter and I plan on having custody. I need an attorney who can be nice if this goes well but will turn into a pitbull if it doesn't because I don't plan on loosing my little girl. I need someone ASAP as he already has spoken to someone. Any advice would be great. Thank you.
I was never married but i'm going through a custody battle for my six year son. I have a very attorney. His name is James Hanauer. His number is ###-###-####. His office is in wheaton give him a call.. he's great
Best thing you can do for your daughter is not make her part of a tug-of-war. Think about what you consider *reasonable* visitation, look at what standard visitation is, look at both your work schedules and work that part out as quickly and REASONABLY as possible.
You are losing your husband, your daughter is losing her parents. Don't make it worse by making this a long drawn out custody battle.
I am sorry for your loss, dear. *HUG*
Hi S.~
I am so sorry about your situation. I have been the child in your situation and I understand that all of this is something you do not want nor did ou ever plan for your life. One of the things that scares me is that some of you have talked about "losing" your little girl. How are you losing already? I don't think anyone is losing more than that little girl. Is there a way for your husband and you to sit down with a mediator and find a way out of the court system to have joint custody of your daughter? I have a step son and he is with us twice a week and every other weekend. He comes first for all of us.
I cam from a situation of battle growing up where I was that "little girl" neither of them would be losing. But, neither of them realized how much I lost because of the bickering and fighting. they thought I didnt see it but I did. I hate to go Dr. Phil on you but who in the end is the "hero" for your daughter? Who is the one that is going to recognize that the two of you made the choice to get married and the two of you are getting the divorce that she doesn't need to lose either of you. You need to be the one to step up and not put her in the middle of the two of you.
So he got an attorney, then talk to a couple and decide the route you want to go but your daughter is not your marriage. She is not the anger between the two of you. She is the gift both of you got and again she is a GIFT! Love her and understand what this and how you two are acting is going to affect her. Find someone for her to talk to away from the two of you. YOU have to put her first. Yes, I get all of YOU moms don't want to LOSE your daughter but your not. She is not a Win or Lose entity she is a PERSON. She is a person that both you and your husband love and if your marriage is going south fine get a divorce attorney but be ADULTS and love your child. It can be done and you will need to sacrifice but the times she is with Dad mom gets to rebuild Mom! Mom gets to have her life again to be an incredible person and someone her daughter can be proud of.
My parents are a sea of regret and they only wish they could change things. But, they can't. I can learn from there mistakes and be the best Step mom I can be for my step son. If my husband and I ever split. I would never keep my daughter from him. He's a great Dad and he loves her more than anything. I also know that he would do the same fr me. He does the same for my step sons mom.
I hope you find someone that can help you with ending your marriage and you can also find someone that will also have the best interest of your daughter.
Good luck!
Justin Smit on Naperville Road in Wheaton was my attorney. He is really not a warm and fuzzy guy. He is mostly a pit bull which is what I needed. I was on the receiving end of a divorce as well. Justin was referred to me by a lawyer friend of mine. My divorce went very smoothly and Justin did not need to get tough. Since then I actually dated a guy that said his wife's attorney destroyed his in court, just so happened it was Justin. Since I was emotional and a mess he was perfect for me. Again, my settlement went smooth so he basically just drew up papers for me and did what I asked. It was nice knowing I had him just in case. Good luck and hang in there.

Mary McSwain in Wheaton -###-###-#### excellent attorney from Wheaton.
Schiller DuCanto and Fleck is one of the best firms in the country and very selective with regards to its hiring of attorneys.
They have three locations with their main office downtown. They are really fair with regards to custody and are known to like to arbitrate fairly, but will go full throttle pitt-bull if need be.
I used to run background checks and asset searches for divorce cases through a private security company called Securatex and mostly worked with this firm. They are very good! I know a lot of people who worked with them personally as well as my Father in Law is a founding partner.
Good Luck.
