Practice Areas: Child Custody and Visitation


The increasing frequency of separation and divorce has drastically increased the volume of cases in which custody of children is at issue. No issue can be more important than the well-being and best interests of a child. Often parents are able to agree on scheduled visitation and access for their children. But whether there is an amicable agreement or there are contested issues of custody, experienced representation is essential.

The touchstone legal principle involved in custody and visitation cases is the best interest of the child. When we are hired, we keep that concept foremost in our minds. And we know that a prolonged, often hostile court battle is rarely good for children. So we try to resolve custody cases amicably, if at all possible. They can often be settled with good faith discussions, conciliation or mediation. But if they cannot be resolved amicably, we are prepared to aggressively litigate custody issues.

We have many years of involvement in custody cases, as judge, master and mediator. We know the law and can offer a unique insight into what the Court may do in a given situation. This makes discussion a lot more meaningful.

We prepare our cases for consultation professionally and carefully. Even though these are very emotional issues, we will calmly explain the law and work with our clients to get the best results for their children.
