New Jersey and Pennsylvania Child Custody Attorney
Parents who are divorced or separated often disagree about many things. The one thing that both of them agree on in most cases is the importance of their children's well-being: their need for love, healthy environments, security and opportunities to grow and thrive.
Your Children Are My Priority
As a family law attorney of more than 30 years, I understand the passion that parents bring to the challenge of resolving custody and visitation issues. While I represent parents in the area of child custody, I also keep in mind the best interests of children, just as caring mothers and fathers do.
Contact me at the Law Offices of Lawrence W. Saltzman in New Jersey or Pennsylvania to schedule a free, no-obligation consultation.
Reach a Fair, Workable, Reasonable Child Custody Agreement
Perhaps you and your soon-to-be ex-spouse agree on the basics but need help figuring out the particulars in such a way that a family court judge will agree as well. Or perhaps you are completely at odds about where the children should live, go to school and spend vacations.
My extensive background in family law has given me tools ― knowledge, skills and strategies ― that have worked well for other clients who faced similar dilemmas in child custody and visitation. I help my clients answer questions such as:
- How can both parents best preserve and nurture the bonds they form with their children, given the separated status of mother and father?
- What about "grandparents' rights?" How can you best protect your children's relationships with your parents?
- What are the most effective ways to transfer children between one parent and the other, to carry out "visitation" agreements and court orders?
- How is child support affected by custody arrangements?
- Is it lawful for the custodial parent to "remove" the child out of state or outside the range of the non-custodial parent?
- Does a domestic violence charge involving one parent against the other affect child custody orders?
Mediation may be an appropriate method of answering these questions. In more difficult cases, litigation may be necessary. The best interests of the child are the guiding force of all legal actions in the area of child custody and visitation negotiations and conflict resolution.
Ask me for a lawyer's viewpoint and advice about any aspect in family law, including the following:
- Custody and parenting time
- Equitable distribution
- Adoption
- Domestic violence
- College expenses
- Enforcement of litigants’ rights
- Post judgment modifications
Although you and your children's other parent are separated, separating or divorced, your status as loving parents is intact. You are not divorcing your children.
