During and After the Divorce Process
Our firm will conscientiously represent you at all stages of the divorce process, and afterward if that is necessary. We will review your situation, explain your options, and provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions about your case.
The first step, usually, in any child custody/ visitation proceeding will be court-ordered mediation. Your attorney cannot participate during the mediation session, but we can provide advice that can help during your interviews with the mediator and in the session itself. Usually, the mediator is a court-appointed professional, but private mediation is often worth the extra expense. An 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 your best interest and that of your child, we will assertively litigate to achieve your goals and protect your rights.
Post-Decree Actions
Custody and visitation matters can continue to arise long after the divorce decree. Our firm can seek a modification in custody or visitation orders, should there be a significant change in circumstances.
We also conduct an active practice in cases involving interstate custody and international custody disputes.
