Examining the specifics of both physical and legal custody, we prioritize your children’s best interests in every decision, whether it’s a joint arrangement or one parent having sole custody.

Placing Your Child’s Best Interests at the Forefront

In every custody case we handle, the paramount concern is the well-being and best interests of the child.
