With the internet at my fingertips, I thought I would be able to do some legal research of my own. I wasn't planning on using that information in place of a lawyer, but I thought it might help give me an idea what I would be in store for during my divorce and custody battle. What I learned is that reading about it online and going through it with a judge are two different things. It really didn't help at all. Did you do any research on your own? Did it help?
