Advising You on Your Child Custody Options

If you and your child's other parent cannot come to an agreement regarding a child custody and visitation plan, the family court judge will likely require that you attempt mediation before taking the case to trial. If mediation is not successful and a judge has to decide on a child custody outcome, he or she will base that decision on a number of factors involving the best interests of the child.

There is no single factor that predicts how a child custody case will turn out, but based on the legal standards and our attorneys' past experiences, we can advise you as to the range of likely outcomes. We will explain all of your options at every stage of your child custody case.

Understanding Your Ongoing Rights and Responsibilities

Once a child custody order is issued by the court, there are several reasons why the court may need to revisit the issue at a later date. We assist clients with all of the following:

  • Modification: A child custody and visitation arrangement can be modified by the court if there has been a long-term change in the circumstances that were relevant to the original child custody decision.
  • Enforcement: Child custody orders are binding on both parents, and either parent can go to court to enforce an order if the other parent is not living up to his or her obligations.
  • Parental relocation: If a child's parent wants to relocate more than 75 miles away, he or she must give notice to the other parent. If the other parent objects, the court may have to get involved.
