Best Divorce attorney. I have been through a few different lawyers over the years for custody and Andrew Wood certainly goes above and beyond for his clients. He’s personable and honest about expectations, he is the most responsive of any lawyers I have come across. If you need a lawyer you can trust and count on to go to bat for you...he is the one! Haven’t lost once with him as my representation.

I would highly recommend Andrew Wood as a divorce attorney.  During my divorce and child custody proceedings, Andrew was always available for me and kept me calm and focused during a most difficult time in my life.  He and his staff are efficient and go out of their way to answer questions and go over details. He treated me like a friend not a client.

Custody of the unborn child will have to be determined after the child is born. If the parties are not yet divorced before the child is born, then the custody and child support will be handled as part of the divorce. If the child is born after the parties are divorced, then family court will decide issue of custody and child support. If you really want to complicate your divorce, get pregnant before it is finalized.

Yes, however, it is not recommended. A lawyer can show you ways the other side can hurt you, especially if you aren't familiar with the law. At minmum, you should consider a consultation with a competent Albany Divorce Attorney.
