Our Child Custody Lawyers Do What’s Right and in the Best Interest of a Child

One of the most challenging areas of family law is child custody. These cases are complicated and emotionally draining. The overriding concern is the “best interest of the child.” However, if the parents cannot agree on what is in the best interest of their child, the family courts are often left with the difficult task of determining the best custodial arrangements for the children.

Comprehensive Child Custody Guidance

Our Family Law attorneys at CGA Law Firm will guide you through all aspects of a custody case, from filing a complaint through trial and appeal proceedings, and assisting the parties in coming to their own resolution outside of court. We also assist in facilitating amicable resolutions outside of court, recognizing that collaborative agreements often serve the family’s long-term well-being.

Child custody matters may arise independently or as part of divorce proceedings. Even if divorce isn’t immediately pursued, separated individuals can file for custody to establish clear parenting arrangements. Importantly, unmarried parents possess the same custody rights as those who are married, ensuring equitable consideration for all.

In some cases, the parties may obtain a no-fault divorce with a verbal understanding of how to handle custody. Sometimes, differences of opinion may develop regarding child custody issues and the parents may file a custody action at a later time, even though the divorce case has long since been resolved.
