A Family Law Attorney Focused On The Best Interests Of Children
Protecting your children is of utmost importance. Whether you are seeking primary custody of the children, partial custody, or a shared custody arrangement, the courts will look to see that a custody order is in the child’s best interest. The parties to a custody action are always encouraged to come to a negotiated agreement, which often leaves clients with more control over the outcome, and in cases of child custody, serves the child’s best interest.
However, if the parties are not able to agree, the children may begin to suffer. Court proceedings may be necessary to establish or modify a custody schedule, or to enforce your custodial rights. No matter how your case will ultimately be resolved, the right lawyer can make a major difference. If you are facing child custody proceedings, contact Tigue Law today.
