📌 What to Expect
Custody cases often last longer than anticipated — sometimes years. During that time, life changes:
- You may move homes or change jobs
- Attorneys and judges may change
- Jurisdictions can shift
- Family circumstances evolve — illness, loss, new relationships
This is why documentation matters.
The records you keep today may be needed years from now. Export your data regularly and keep backups in a safe place.
