Child Custody
Your children's wellbeing is the most important thing. We advocate tirelessly for parenting arrangements that protect their stability, their relationships, and their future — guided always by the children's best interests.
Child Custody Services
Legal Custody
Legal custody determines who makes major decisions about your child's education, healthcare, and religious upbringing. We help you pursue sole or joint legal custody arrangements that reflect your child's best interests.
Physical Custody & Visitation
We craft detailed parenting plans that establish where your child lives day-to-day, including holiday schedules, school breaks, and consistent visitation arrangements that minimize disruption to your child's routine.
Parental Relocation
Moving with a child to a new location — even within Oregon — requires court approval when it affects the other parent's custody rights. We represent both parents seeking to relocate and those opposing a move.
Emergency Custody Orders
When a child's safety is at immediate risk, we act quickly to obtain emergency temporary custody orders that remove them from danger and stabilize the situation while the court process proceeds.
Enforcement of Visitation Rights
If the other parent is denying court-ordered visitation, we pursue enforcement through contempt proceedings, custody modifications, and other legal remedies to protect your parental rights.
Custody Modifications
Life changes. When a significant change in circumstances occurs — a new job, relocation, or a change in the child's needs — we petition the court to modify existing custody and visitation orders accordingly.
How We Work With You
Understanding Your Family
We begin by listening — to your concerns, your child's needs, and the dynamics at play. Every custody case is unique, and our strategy starts with a thorough understanding of your situation.
Building Your Parenting Plan
We develop a detailed, practical parenting plan that addresses custody, visitation, holidays, and dispute resolution — designed to work in the real world and hold up in court.
Resolution & Ongoing Support
Whether we reach an agreement or litigate, we see the process through to a final order and remain available to help enforce, modify, or defend your rights as circumstances evolve.
Your Children Deserve the Best Outcome
Your initial consultation is free and completely confidential. Let us help you protect your parental rights and your children's wellbeing.
