Third-Party Custody

We work with individuals or relatives seeking custody rights for a minor child who is not their biological or legal child. Our primary focus is to ensure the best interests of the child while providing support and guidance to our clients navigating the complexities of custody law. We begin by understanding our clients’ unique situations, whether they are grandparents, aunts, uncles, or close family friends, and what motivates them to seek custody. Together, we help them assess their legal standing and determine the best course of action for their specific circumstances.

Throughout the process, we assist in gathering necessary documentation, which may include evidence of the child’s current living situation, any history of instability, and the ability of the third party to provide a safe and nurturing environment. Our role often involves negotiating with parents or opposing parties, advocating for arrangements that prioritize the child’s well-being.

If disputes arise and court intervention becomes necessary, we represent our clients throughout the legal proceedings, presenting their case and highlighting the importance of stability and care for the child involved. We are committed to providing compassionate support, helping our clients understand their rights and responsibilities while ensuring that their voices are heard in court. Ultimately, our goal is to seek resolutions that foster strong familial bonds and provide a loving, secure environment for the child, allowing them to thrive in a supportive community.
