Possible issues in your custody case

Our law office has experience in many sides of custody cases and can help you determine which outcome is in the best interests of your child. Tom Lee will describe the differences between legal and physical custody. The issues to discuss may include:

  • Joint custody/shared custody

  • Sole custody

  • Child support calculations

  • Parenting time agreements

  • Non-custodial parent’s rights

  • Residency requirements

  • Children’s wishes

  • Capability of each parent to facilitate joint decisions

A lawyer who knows when to mediate and when to litigate

As an experienced mediator, Tom Lee prefers to start with mediation in custody disputes—litigation is a last resort. However, there are times when mediation is not possible. We can help you determine which method is best in your case.

  • Mediation. If we can help you reach an agreement out of court with the other parent of your children, we may be able to save you the high costs of a full legal battle in court. We may also help you negotiate a parenting plan, which allows a better collaborative environment between parents as they raise their children.

  • Litigation. In cases where there is abuse, drug use, alcoholism or a bad history between parents, or if an agreement cannot be made through mediation, we can help you explore other options. Before your case is brought to court, we will explain what to expect and formulate a strategy based on the facts and applicable statutes.
