Child custody

Personal Guidance Through Simple and Complex Family Transitions

When a couple decides to divorce, the process is rarely easy. One of the most important decisions to be made is in regards to custody of your children.
This includes the legal and physical custody of your children. Legal custody involves the daily decision-making ability of the parents including, but not limited to, decisions relating to education, medical, dental, and psychological treatment. Physical custody involves in which parent’s care your children will be at any given time. Because of the importance of a child’s stability, these can be hotly contested issues. To ensure the best interests of your children continue to be met, parents strive and will fight to secure the appropriate custody and visitation rights to secure their children’s stability. Because of the importance of this stability and the trust you are placing in the lawyer to protect your children’s best interests, it is crucial to obtain a family law attorney with extensive experience handling child custody matters.

To ensure that your rights as a parent are protected, we provide you with the best legal and experience-based representation possible. This experience includes attending to post-divorce issues that may arise such as modifications to child custody and visitation agreements, as well as making modifications to child support as the need for change arises.
