<p>My usual advice: get any of these issues straightened out before you start law school. Get a nice long track record of stable achievement. Law school is very stressful (I found it to be less work than engineering, but more stress); studying for the bar is stressful; being an attorney is stressful. For your own sake, ensure that you have a lot of psychological coping tools available to you, and that you enter into this as mature and responsible as possible. It eats up even emotionally strong, psychologically healthy people.</p>
