Coparenting in Captivity comic #12: Bring Your Lawyer to Family Court Day. (dad’s point of view)

#12

Bring Your Lawyer to Family Court Day. 🐾

"My lawyer could eat your lawyer."

Whether it's a bulldog or a poodle — the instinct to find the most aggressive legal representation possible is strong in high-conflict coparenting.

But the "scariest" lawyer doesn't always win. And the more aggressive the approach, the more expensive, exhausting, and damaging the process gets — for everyone, including the kids.

The goal isn't to have the most intimidating attorney. The goal is to get to a stable, workable outcome for your family. Those are not the same thing.

(Puppies are still cute though.) 🐶
