When it comes to parenting time arrangements, it is in the child’s best interest to have maximum access to both parents, when appropriate. Our Family Law group works to facilitate co-parenting arrangements that ensure clients have regular and consistent contact with their children. With extensive experience in this area, we work to resolve custody, guardianship and parenting time issues in a cost sensitive and efficient manner, so clients can get back to the business of raising their children.
We can draw upon a strong network of supporting professionals including counselors, psychologists and child specialists, as required. We encourage the use of alternative dispute resolution methods for guardianship and parenting issues, such as Collaboration, Mediation and Arbitration. However, if a court action is necessary to address parenting issues, our experienced Watson Goepel LLP Family Law group can help.
