Unfortunately, some people see parenting time as a way to control the other parent. In our family law practice, we emphasize the need for the children to have frequent access to both parents.
- We are your advocates: Sometimes even mediators in family law have antiquated ideas about a father's role. We make sure they hear your point of view and that they understand the importance of your role with your children. We will work with you to develop a parenting plan that works for you and your child.
- We are your coaches: Your lawyer will spend time with you before mediation or your custody evaluation, helping you understand what to expect and how to get your points across. What you say in mediation or during a custody evaluation can have a significant impact on parenting time and visitation.
- Be there for your children: We know you want to be an active part of your children's lives. Talk to your lawyer about your objectives. We will help you focus on those issues that are most important to you.
