Find a Child Custody Lawyer

Child custody is well-known as one of the most difficult areas of family law. Legal issues related to where a child will live and who will make decisions regarding his or her upbringing may arise in the event of a divorce, dissolution or legal separation. They may also need to be addressed if unmarried parents have a child together or in situations where parents are unfit to care for a child and a family member, such as a grandparent, seeks custody to ensure the child's well-being.
