Custody Cases
In custody cases the single most important consideration is the best interest of the child. So when I represent somebody in a custody case, I go to whatever length is necessary to make sure the best interest of that child is presented on behalf of my client. That may mean bringing in a dozen or more people who have had a relationship with that child in that child's life to help establish why that child is better off with my client and why to be with my client is in the child's best interest.

Adoption
In adoption for example, one of the things that often comes up is difficulty getting the papers served on the other biological parent, which has to be done before the adoption can be finalized. Sometimes this requires being willing to go out of town, sometimes it requires being able to go to another state. Sometimes it requires having to go to jail or a prison.  Sometimes it requires publication in a small town newspaper that you've never heard of three states away.  We've done that, and were willing to do that for our clients so that the adoption can be final.
