Each divorce is unique. No two parents are identical and neither are the issues they face during a child custody dispute. Our firm takes the time to recognize the issues that need to be resolved prior to developing a comprehensive parenting plan/child custody schedule.

Courts do not use predetermined factors when awarding primary custody to a parent. There are certain factors, however, that courts regard as important when making its determination. Attorney Martin A. Peltram will assist you in presenting a case that highlights you and is beneficial to your child.

The process involved in reaching a child custody agreement varies in divorces. In some instances, parents amicably work towards a common solution. Parents arrive at out-of-court agreements concerning such matters as primary residence of the child, which school the child will attend, and who will contribute to the child's health care. There are also times when parents are unable to amicably agree upon custody and have to present their issues before a family court judge. We will represent you in either setting, ensuring that you receive experienced legal advice and professional representation at all levels of the legal process.

Our firm will continue to assist you in dealing with child custody issues following the finalization of your divorce. We will represent and defend parents in petitions seeking to modify and enforce child custody orders and agreements.
