Often when parents separate, tension is heightened and it can become difficult to develop a fair agreement that is in the best interest of the child. We believe in shared parenting and that children should have the right to liberal time with both parents, if a healthy environment can be provided. If you are a dedicated parent enduring a custody dispute or have concerns that one is on the horizon, it's important to know how to accurately demonstrate your commitment and capabilities as a parent. Stepping into a Family Courtroom can be uncharted territory for many.
