Single Mom: When to Call a Lawyer

If you are a single parent - perhaps, just divorced, with kids - what are your Legal rights?  

Advocate Jade Lawson joins Elana this week to give us the Legal take on parents that are divorced, with kids.  What are the implications for travelling? How does guardianship really work? Who pays? What if you're a mom and not earning a salary? How much are you entitled to as a single parent? What if you never got married, and now have kids out of wedlock? Legally, what should the father be helping you with?  

Legal advice might be costly, but in this podcast, we try to answer all the urgent questions, directly from an Advocate that deals with Family Law.  

Advocate Jade Lawson is both an Advocate and Mediator, with one of her areas of focus being on family law. In addition to her litigation work, Adv Lawson is accredited through the Social Justice Association of Mediators and works closely with them to mediate on cases such as parenting plans, divorce settlements, care and contact of minor children and maintenance disputes.
