If you are contemplating divorce as a mother, you will naturally have many worries and concerns as to who will end up with custody of your children and how the costs of raising them will be divided. Even if you are mediating, or your divorce is going smoothly and amicably, you should retain a lawyer to ensure your rights as a mother and to clearly understand the rights of your children.

While in the past, child custody and support laws varied from one state to the next, there has been a recent trend over the past twenty years to make these laws uniform, and you should consult a lawyer to more fully understand the specific circumstances within your state.
