I fired my lawyer, represented myself in my custody case, and built the resource I wish I'd had.
About a year ago, I found myself in the middle of a divorce and custody case with no legal background. At one point I decided to represent myself because I felt like I understood my case better than anyone else.
I spent hundreds of hours learning how to read court filings, organize evidence, and navigate the process. It completely changed how I looked at family court.
After everything was over, I started building a website documenting what happened and the lessons I learned. It's not meant to be legal advice—it's the resource I wish I'd had when I started.
I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from anyone who's been through divorce or custody. Is this the kind of resource you would have found helpful?
