Putting Children First
When it comes to families, the safety and security of children is a consideration second to none. We are strident advocates on behalf of parents' rights and believe strongly in the value of preserving family integrity and stability. We support our clients' rights to play an active role in their children's lives during and after divorce.
When men and women are going through a divorce or paternity case, there are many pressures that can affect their focus. Personal disputes, infidelity, feelings of betrayal - these and other feelings are important and valid. Yet, when the welfare of children is involved, parents must put the needs of children first and negotiate in good faith to preserve the welfare of children.
Family unity is not impossible during or after litigation. Family unity may be preserved. Parents who resolve custody and visitation disputes with communication, as opposed to litigation, are taking an important first step towards the healing process for children.
We realize that in some cases, litigation is necessary to protect our clients' parental and financial rights. We routinely represent both men and women in resolving these difficult issues. For example, we may represent a woman whose husband is fighting for full custody simply to avoid child support. On the other hand, we may represent a man at trial because his wife refuses to agree to a reasonable visitation or parenting schedule.
When cases do go to trial, our clients can rest assured that we will be thoroughly prepared to present comprehensive evidence and argue for their rights and interests. We prepare for each case as if it may go to trial. Our meticulous trial preparation and complete understanding of the issues that matter most to you are part and parcel of our successful litigation practice.
Our attorneys are well respected in the local communities for our commitment to clients. Whether your rights are best protected through negotiation or litigation, our attorneys will be resolute advocates for the preservation of the financial and parental issues most important to you.
