Here is the BBB report on the company - http://www.santabarbara.bbb.org/Business-Report/About-The-Children-3001180

Be aware that this is a document preparation service and you can't expect and won't get the same level of service that you would by hiring an attorney. However, the cost is less than it would be to hire an attorney.

I have had to deal with them and I was not too happy with them. 1. If you don't ask about fees up front they will not tell you. We were told 98.00 to start then 25.00 a month the guy sounded more like a sales person nice and all and once you get hooked in forget it. 2. You loose any membership money when you get hooked into it upfront, Beware of that. 3. They don't answer emails and sometimes phone calls.
As most of us know we are not law people that is why we are looking for help, We don't know what questions to ask. Be aware please!!

Do anyone know of a attorney that can help me without it being costly? I am a single mom with 3 other children. I need someone to help represent me in Florida to get visitation possible custody of my 11 year old daughter. Any information would be a blessing to me. Be blessed.

About The Children (A Parental Advocate Group) works in conjunction with LAWYERS who prepare your (family) court documents, but who do not represent you in court - this is why they are affordable whereas you don't have to pay a retainer, or worry about attorney hourly fees... In many situations, you don't need legal advice - you need a court documents, and go to court on your own (referred to as "pro-per" or "pro se".
