Alternative Ways to Resolve Child Custody Disputes
Our firm works to resolve child custody disputes without damaging the family relationships that make child custody disputes matter. Since contentious adversarial litigation between parents can have negative psychological effects on children, we encourage more cooperative forms of family dispute resolution, including:
- Collaborative law: the parents, their attorneys, a mental health professional and a financial professional engage in roundtable, interest-based negotiations to reach a child custody arrangement that everyone finds agreeable.
- Mediation: communicating through a neutral, licensed mediator, both parents work out their child custody settlement until they find something agreeable to both.
If these cooperative approaches don't work, our attorneys will be firm in their resolve, fighting to achieve your goals in litigation and negotiations over child custody.
We also handle issues related to child custody that can occur months and years after the divorce settlement has been issued. Learn more about parental relocation, modifications and enforcements.
