Child Custody

Few family law issues are more emotionally charged than those involving child custody and time-sharing.

Atkinson & Kelsey attorneys have extensive experience in child custody and time-sharing matters, and can provide counsel and representation in any child custody issue that may arise. We are committed to protecting the rights of our clients and promoting the best interests of their children. Often, this requires the parents to understand what those best interests actually are. We work closely with our clients to achieve workable, cooperative time-sharing and custody agreements that provide healthy living and learning environments for the children, while protecting the rights and interests of the parents.

Time-sharing agreements are established at the time of the divorce, but as children grow and parents’ lives change, these agreements may need to be reassessed. If relocation issues arise, we will negotiate or litigate on your behalf and work for the children’s best interest.

Divorce and child custody disputes put emotional strains on all involved, but especially on children. When a child is in exceptional distress, we can recommend professionals who can provide emotional and psychological counseling.

Atkinson & Kelsey represents clients in all types of child custody and related matters, including:

  • Child custody
  • Time-sharing and visitation rights
  • Time-sharing modifications
  • Parenting plans
  • Parental relocation
  • Grandparent custody and adoption
  • Grandparent visitation rights
  • Domestic violence and Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDRO)

We handle every family law matter using the appropriate legal tools, including counseling, mediation, collaborative law, and litigation. Our litigation practice includes appellate practice.
