A Dedicated Advocate for Fathers, Mothers and Children
Divorce is a life-changing event. This can be especially true if you are a devoted mother or father facing the prospect of less time with your children and reduced influence over their lives.
We work daily with people whose top priority is maintaining close relationships with their children. Our efforts are guided by our strong knowledge of the law and area courts such as those in Fulton and Gwinnett counties, rather than any preconceptions or outdated assumptions. Whether you are a mother or father concerned about the child custody outcome in your divorce — or with a need to seek a modification of the custody order in place today — please contact us for a consultation.
Recognizing the Legal Realities, in Order to Pursue Your Goals Effectively
It is important for everyone involved in child custody negotiations to recognize that our courts are bound to make decisions based on the best interests of the child. While this standard certainly leaves room for differences of opinion, it helps some parents make sensible choices with a strong likelihood of success. We have obtained primary custody for many Greater Atlanta area fathers and mothers.
