Child Custody
Custody disputes can affect where a child lives, how parents share time, how important decisions are made, and how the family functions from week to week.
Case Review
Custody matters can involve parenting schedules, school and medical issues, communication between parents, transportation, prior caregiving patterns, safety concerns, and changes in family circumstances.
The case should be prepared around verifiable facts and the practical needs of the child rather than around conflict alone.
Preparation
01
Understand the existing parenting arrangement
02
Identify the specific areas of disagreement
03
Organize records, communications, and relevant history
04
Prepare a practical proposal and court strategy

Bring the current order and any later court papers. The existing order is an important part of understanding what is currently required and what a party may be asking to change.
