In determining which parent should receive child custody, the court focuses on dangers to the child(ren), which most commonly include domestic violence, alcoholism, and drug addiction. When our own clients exhibit these dangers, we set them on the path to treatment and recovery soon as possible so as to minimize the harm to their children and their case. When opposing parties display these dangers, we work tirelessly to document the problems for the court and rebut the other side’s false denials. We’ve been there and done that, and we’ve done it well.
If dangers to the child(ren) do not determine the outcome in a custody battle, a court will consider which party historically acted as the primary parent. That is, the court will award custody to whoever performed the majority of the parenting functions, like cooking, transporting, teaching, and supervising. Typically both parents claim to be the primary parent, and proving the truth can be crucial. Our firm understands this and acts accordingly. We have experience locating the best witnesses, gathering convincing documentation, and exposing the opposing parties’ falsehoods. We tend to work harder at this than does the opposing party, and our firm’s lower hourly rate makes our increased efforts practicable. Our side’s commitment to honesty also imparts invaluable credibility in all-too-common conflicts of he-said versus she-said accounts. Not to mention, our commitment to honesty leaves a clear conscience and sets a positive example for others.
