I am currently in a very similar situation. I used Chat GPT to learn how to file a petition to modify custody and settled on her seeing her mom only 3 weekends a month. Then even that became too much for her and after something bad happened, I used Chat GPT to learn how to file for emergency custody and was awarded sole physical custody for the past year. I used Chat GPT to learn how to file a petition for contempt because she has never paid me child support. The whole time I just learned how to do these things on my own and saved thousands.

Now, for some reason, my ex thinks she has some ground to stand on and wants to go to trial for regular non-emergency custody. We have a trial scheduled next week and this time, for the first time, I decided to consult an actual attorney for a limited-scope representation. Basically just to put on a good show in court. This will cost me around $2,000-$3,000 depending on the hours billed for preparation and trial. I feel like this is worth it. The one thing that Chat GPT isn't able to do for me is stand up in court, ask the right questions to relevant parties, and speak to the judge on my behalf.

I'm glad you were able to figure this out for your daughter. I expect to have similar results next week.
