custody dispute

Email that was sent around:

"If you know of reasonably-priced family lawyer who can assist with a child custody dispute, would you please let me know? "

Also. Appreciate the misguided attempt to place a hyphen between "reasonably" and "priced." Unfortunately, the hyphen here is incorrect where the phrasal adjective contains an adverb that ends in "-ly" followed by a past participle. See, e.g., www.plainlanguagenetwork.org/kimble/modest.htm.
