FAQ

Family law FAQ

The questions we get most often, answered before you ask.

How does Ask a Lawyer work for family law issues?

Start by chatting with our AI Lawyer for free. It’s trained on 500K+ real legal cases including thousands of family matters — divorce, custody, support and parenting plans. If your case needs human judgment (a hearing, a custody fight, a support order), we connect you to a bar-verified family law attorney for $49/mo.

Are the attorneys really licensed?

Yes. Every attorney on Ask a Lawyer is bar-verified and licensed to practice in at least one U.S. state. We confirm their credentials before they ever answer a question.

What’s the difference between the free and paid plans?

The free plan gives you instant answers from our AI lawyer, trained on 500K+ real cases. The $49/mo Premium plan connects you with bar-verified attorneys for real human judgment on your specific situation.

Can I get legal advice anonymously?

Yes. You can ask questions without creating an account or sharing personal details. We never require your real name to get an answer.

What if I just have one question?

Start free — your first AI answer costs nothing and there’s no card required. If that one question needs a real attorney, you can upgrade for a single month and cancel anytime.

How long does it take to get an answer from a real attorney?

Most Premium members hear back from a verified attorney in about 5 minutes, and our lawyers are online around the clock.
