What additional information would you need to obtain before your attorney can properly plan Leigh's estateYour supervising attorney's client, Leigh Marvin, age 35, is a software executive for a high technology firm. She has one child, Andrea, age 12, from a previous relationship. Andrea's father currently lives in Chicago, has never paid the court-ordered child support of $770 per month, and has not visited Andrea since she was born. The father has just entered a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.
Presently, Leigh has a live-in boyfriend, Freddy, who describes himself as a born-again ski-bum. They have been living together for the past 8 years.
