Child Custody

Parenting is not easy, and this is no more true than when parents are going through a divorce or ending a relationship. The court must balance the rights of the parents with the best interest of the child, and it can be difficult to agree on what, exactly, is best for a child. Custody laws do not make it any easier; they are often complex and convoluted, and what’s more, they vary dramatically from one state to another. While there are federal laws in place (including the Deadbeat Parent Punishment Act), laws are often left up to the individual state. Whenever custody is an issue, it is in your best interest to consult with an attorney to ensure that your rights are upheld and that your child is properly cared for.
