Preserving Your Child's Best Interests
The most optimal child custody and child support orders assure the safety and security of the child while maximizing the child's prospects for a healthy physical and emotional development. This is generally best achieved by maximizing the child's opportunities for exposure to both parents and by attempting to create a cooperative relationship between the parents for the benefit of the child.
