Tips for an LA family law case
- File electronically. LA County family law filings are now made electronically, and small errors can push hearing dates back weeks.
- Disclose everything early. Incomplete financial disclosures are a common reason cases stall or get reopened.
- Know your courthouse. Each courthouse runs its own calendar, so ask your lawyer where your case will land.
- Keep the kids out of it. Judges weigh each parent’s conduct when deciding custody.
