Mediation for Amicable Child Custody Agreements in Whittier

Children are best served when parents maintain a cordial relationship. Through the structured process of mediation, couples can often set aside hostility and agree on key decisions affecting their children. Mediation can be a highly effective tool for parents to preserve their children’s well-being and the stability of their lives during the turbulent process of divorce. It takes some of the stress out of child custody conflicts and puts important child-rearing decisions in the hands of the parents, rather than the court. We use mediation strategies to guide the negotiation process toward a healthy resolution.

SKILLED LITIGATOR REPRESENTS PARENTS IN FAMILY COURT

Our firm’s methodical approach to litigation enables clients to feel confident that their children are protected and their parental rights are secure.

• Primary and joint custody arrangements
