Mediation is almost always cheaper and faster than litigation for family disputes. Most courts require it before trial anyway. Go in with realistic expectations and a willingness to compromise.

Documentation is everything in family law. Keep a journal, save all communications, and don't put anything in writing that you wouldn't want a judge to read.

Family law is one of the most state-specific areas of law. What works in California won't work in Texas. Make sure you're getting advice from an attorney licensed in your state.
