During and After the Divorce Process
Our family law firm will conscientiously represent your child custody interests at all stages of the divorce process, and afterward if that is necessary. We will review your initial situation, explain your options, and provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions about your case. If a custody and visitation matter arises after the divorce decree, our firm can help you seek a change in the custody or visitation orders, should changed circumstances make this necessary.
Custody and Visitation Mediation
The first step, usually, in any child custody/ visitation proceeding will be court-ordered mediation. We cannot participate during the mediation session, but we can provide guidance to help you prepare for the session. Usually, the mediator is a court-appointed professional, but private mediation is often worth the extra expense. A child custody attorney at our firm can discuss this with you and make a recommendation as to your best course of action.
Negotiated and Litigated Solutions
We have found that a negotiated custody and visitation solution is often the best for the client and children. In most cases, we can achieve workable and satisfactory custody and visitation arrangements through negotiations with the other spouse's attorney.
When it is in the best interest of you and your child, we will assertively litigate to achieve your goals and protect your rights.
