Home » Mediation Services » Divorce and Child Custody
Divorce and child custody cases deal with dissolving marriages and determining parental responsibilities. These sensitive issues involve deciding legal custody (decision-making rights) and physical custody (where the child lives). Courts evaluate the best interests of the child, considering factors like stability, health, and emotional bonds. These cases can be emotionally charged and legally complex, often requiring structured support to avoid long-term damage to families.
Child custody arrangements can be sole or joint, and they may also include visitation rights and support agreements. At their core, these cases aim to protect the child’s welfare while ensuring fair treatment of both parents. Legal guidance and structured mediation can significantly alleviate emotional strain, mitigate conflict, and lead to sustainable resolutions that everyone can respect.

Yes, custody agreements can be modified if significant life changes occur, like relocation, health issues, or concerns about the child’s safety or well-being.
Yes, both parents have equal legal standing, but the court decides based on the child’s best interests—not necessarily an automatic 50/50 arrangement.
Mediation promotes collaboration between parents, reduces emotional stress, encourages compromise, and results in mutually agreed-upon custody plans without going to court.
