When parents divorce, they will need to discuss and negotiate child custody arrangements. Will you be pursuing a joint custody arrangement, or do you believe that sole custody protects your child’s best interests? You need principled and compassionate legal guidance during this challenging time. Our firm is here to help you discuss your goals and concerns so that we can obtain the right outcome for you and your children.
Ultimately, the custody of children is left to the discretion of the presiding judge in the case when the parties cannot agree. All Judges make their determination based on their perception of what arrangement best serves and protects the best interests of your children. When spouses negotiate and agree on a custody arrangement that is equitable, reasonable, and prioritizes the child’s best interest, the judge is likely to approve it. If parents cannot agree, the judge must intervene and make the final determination.
As child custody disputes are deeply personal and emotional, they have the potential to become quite heated and fraught. We help our clients determine their custody goals so that we can devise a customized legal strategy for achieving them. We can help you negotiate with your spouse formally or informally, represent you in mediation, or aggressively fight for your position in court. Rest assured that everything will be done to protect the best interests of you and your children.
