Child Custody Litigation: A Unique Process
When you contact us to address your child custody case, we will take the time to explain the process to you. These cases are complex, because the court will appoint an attorney for the child, a person known as a law guardian. Forensic evaluation may also be ordered by the court. We have the skill to address the unique aspects of custody litigation.

What is Your Goal?

Before our lawyers can move forward to help you, we first need to determine what type of custody is in the best interest of the child or children. Child custody can be broken down in several ways:

First, it can be either joint custody or sole custody. Joint means that decision making rights are split between both parents, although not necessarily evenly. Sole means that one parent will make all decisions affecting the child or children.

Next, there are two types of custody, legal custody and physical custody. Legal custody refers to decisions made about the child's education, health care and other issues. Physical custody refers to where the child resides.

These two areas can be combined, meaning you may choose to pursue joint legal custody and sole physical custody or any other combination that you believe is in the best interest of your child or children. We will help you to decide what to pursue through custody litigation and we will strive to help you achieve what is in your child's best interest.
