Child Custody Legal Matters

Whether you are getting divorced, seeking to improve your custody agreement after separating from the other parent, or facing another issue involving custody, a child custody attorney is here to help. Child custody attorneys deal with a wide range of legal matters including:

  • Child custody agreements
  • Child custody in divorce
  • Child custody between unmarried parents
  • Same-sex custody cases
  • Paternity
  • Termination of parental rights
  • Visitation

Seeking the Best Possible Outcome

Whenever possible it is much better for everyone involved, especially the child, if parents can work together to reach an agreement. Although you will need the court’s approval in most cases, you will achieve most desirable outcome if the two of you can present the court with a plan you have designed together.

If the court decides for you, because you cannot agree to terms, you are far more likely to find yourself in a situation where no one is happy.

A child custody attorney can help you work together to create a parenting plan that works for everyone and will satisfy the court.

Sometimes You Need Help

In some cases it is not appropriate for couples who are separating to try to work together.

Cases where there is a history of domestic violence or one parent feels that contact with the other would put them in danger, require a different approach. The same hold true if you have been falsely accused by the other parent. In custody cases of this nature, a very skilled child custody attorney is required.
