Reply to comment by Alternative-Cry-4667 in Family law attorney recommendations by Th3OnlyGavin

Right well its not for me, i myself am childless, but the person in question, the mother is trying to move across the country with her new boyfriend and the father isn't interested in only being able to see the child during the summer. He wants him full time

My ex tried to do that (not across country, but really far and to take the kid. Because the distance was in excess of the parenting agreement (and that has some standard boilerplate of i think 30 miles from memory) - judge said she could move, but the kid stays

The father, my friend, is looking for an attorney to fight for full custody

Unless he can prove the mother is negligent it's not likely he'll get full custody. He does need a lawyer to protect his rights though. Assuming both parents are ok for the child the most likely arrangement is shared custody.

From what I hear, the mom isn't all that great but as far as what the courts would see idk

He'd have to prove she's not fit. And that is very hard to do. A lawyer would know best and since you asked for a recommendation I'm going to assume that's what he will do.

I think that assumption is correct, I just want to help find them a tried and true attorney
