If you are getting divorced and have children, the question of custody is likely to be uppermost in your mind. If you are looking for a Reno divorce attorney, you may be wondering exactly what they will bring to the table. At the Barber Law Group in Reno, NV, we pursue our cases with vigor and integrity and are dedicated to achieving the right outcome for our clients.
Understanding
It’s completely natural to come to an experience such as a custody dispute with an incomplete understanding of how the law works and the processes you need to follow. Unless you’re a lawyer, your exposure to such issues is likely to have been through TV dramas or from the few extreme cases which make the news headlines. Our specialist lawyers know this area of the law back to front. Not only that, but we are well-practiced in explaining those laws to our clients. You can rest assured that you will not be bombarded with “legalese” that leaves you more confused than when you started. We will make sure that you understand the different terms used by the law and the rights that you have as a parent. This will put you in the best possible position to make decisions as you proceed with the custody case.
Negotiations and Mediation
In many cases it is easier and less expensive to work out decisions on physical and legal custody through negotiation or mediation outside of a court setting. While this setting is less overtly confrontational than a courtroom, we will still aggressively pursue you and your child’s best interests. We can help as you negotiate with your child’s other parent and their lawyers to make sure that the agreement reflects both of your needs and preferences. Our wealth of experience in this area means we are often able to suggest creative solutions to potential problems or sticking points, even in complicated cases. At the conclusion of successful custody negotiations, we will draft a formal custody agreement and gather all the necessary legal documents. We will be sure to demonstrate to the judge that the proposed arrangement is in the child’s best interest, as well as being agreeable to both parents.
Advocating for Your Interests in Court
If an agreement cannot be reached outside of the courtroom, we will represent you in front of the judge. The court will consider who is best able to meet the emotional and physical well-being of the child. So, we will use evidence to demonstrate robustly the ways in which you are the parent best equipped to provide a safe, supportive and nurturing environment. In a custody dispute, it can be difficult to keep your focus on the essentials, but we can take the stress off your shoulders so you can concentrate on yourself and your child. Whether your divorce is amicable or contentious, we are ready to fight for you and your children. Get in touch with us at the Barber Law Group in Reno, NV, to schedule an initial consultation today.
