Do I need a lawyer for maintenance court?
You have the right to have a lawyer attend the maintenance court with you, but it is not an obligation, you can go there on your own and represent yourself; this is what most people do. If you choose to go on your own to maintenance court then it's important that you fully inform yourself of the legalities and prepare the arguments you want to make; to do this usually requires the assistance of an attorney. It is a personal choice to decide whether to take an attorney with you to maintenance court, but we recommaned meeting up with a lawyer beforehand to discuss and understand the issues.
