Child custody matters often result in the most contentious part of a divorce proceeding. The courts will use numerous factors in determining custody, however, the overriding factor will be the best interest of the child.
Child custody may also play a role for couples who are unmarried. In these cases, it may be necessary to establish paternity for the purpose of setting up visitation schedules, support payments, and ensuring the child has a healthy relationship with both parents.
Whether you are divorcing or need to establish paternity, or modify a current child custody order, you can rest assured that your interests will be well represented and that your case will receive the attention it deserves.
