It is ideal to schedule your preparation session the day before your Family Court Services meeting, or as close to the meeting as possible, so the guidance and preparation remain fresh in your mind.
Even if your Family Court Services meeting is a few weeks away, it is recommended that you reserve your preparation appointment as soon as possible, as Dr. McLain's schedule fills quickly. Early scheduling also ensures sufficient time for her to review your materials thoroughly and provide the most effective guidance.
The preparation rate is $250 per hour, with a two-hour minimum. This time is used very efficiently, and most clients find the session moves quickly. In some cases, particularly those involving high conflict or complex issues, additional preparation time is recommended.
