Child Custody experts,
for when it’s time to
go separate ways.
When a relationship ends, whether it’s a de facto relationship or a marriage, it can be a challenging and stressful time. Often you will be faced with making a lot of important decisions, such as figuring out new living arrangements and how you’re going to divide your assets. If you have children, you’re also going to have to make difficult decisions about child custody and parenting arrangements.
Sorting out parenting matters and making sure you’re making the best decisions for your kids is complex as it is, and when you add the upset of the breakdown of your relationship to the equation, it can make it even harder.
