I spoke with Mr. Melendez custody in the event of a divorce. He was very insightful, patient, and sincere. He was very honest about the effect divorce has on children and how the court wants what is best for the child and the family. He also recommended marriage counseling as divorce should only be pursued if reconciliation is not possible. It was helpful to receive legal expertise from someone who genuinely cared about you and your marriage.
