That is entirely up to you and your atorney. Since there is no such thing as a "Public Defender" for a civil case proceeding, whatever agreement you have between you and the attorney is what will prevail. Custody battles between parents can take LENGTHY periods of time depending on just how strongly each side wishes to prevail.
