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.

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.
