In any custody arrangement, the best interest of the child is always the primary goal. Joint legal custody is always encouraged unless there is a compelling reason to limit the child’s contact with one of the parents. In some cases, abuse can create grounds for one of the parents seeking sole custody of the children.
Cases involving abuse are never easy on a child. Whether the abuse actually took place or not, the child is placed in the middle of an ugly legal battle that can have an impact on their well-being for the rest of their life. With every case we accept, our primary goal is to protect your child.
If there is evidence of abuse, we will fight aggressively to limit the abuser’s contact and ensure that any visitation is court supervised. If you have been falsely accused of child abuse, we will do everything in our power to uncover the truth and work to preserve your parental rights and your good name.
