Child Custody

One of the most exciting times in a mother’s life is the moment she finds out she is going to be a mom. As women, we immediately become attached to our children, even when they are the size of a sesame seed. You are so in tune with your children, their needs and emotions. The most difficult moment a mother can face is having to establish paternity in order to obtain a child custody agreement. In these cases, the easiest way to establish paternity is through a court ordered legal process that includes a blood DNA test. Once paternity is established, the parents will create a parenting plan.

The parenting plan is a document that directs how parents will care of the children. It outlines time sharing, responsibilities and decision making for the children. These cases are incredibly delicate and emotional. Our dedicated team of paternity attorneys provide compassionate legal service during your time of need. We are here for you now, throughout the process and once paternity has been established. We have the experience, resources, and skills required to provide you with empathetic and compassionate legal service.
