Child Custody and the Law
Courts in Washington State always decide a custody or visitation matters in the best interests of the child. For most parents, try as they may, they actually think that custody determinations should keep their interests at heart, not their child’s. The court is legally obligated under Washington law to look out for children; they realize that it is usually best to seek a negotiated or mediated settlement that the court can accept which allows both parents to maintain a meaningful relationship with their children.
Compatore Law, P.S. has extensive experience in these matters. We will use our knowledge to protect your rights and achieve workable solutions for you and your children.
Obtaining the Right Child Custody or Visitation Solution
Whenever possible, our firm believes in using non-adversarial techniques to obtain custody and visitation arrangements for our clients. Solutions achieved as a result of such techniques are typically practical, workable and satisfactory for both parties. Often, this involves negotiating an acceptable solution with the attorney for other parent. We also regularly use mediation and collaborative law to achieve results for our clients. Cooperative methods like these can minimize legal costs and reduce the emotional stress accompanying questions about custody and visitation. If you are able to work collaboratively with your former spouse, avoiding the hostility and negativity commonly associated with child custody disputes, your children can adjust more easily to the new reality of their lives, thus enhancing your life as well.
Some cases however, require a strong assertion of your parental rights. In these situations, we will aggressively litigate to achieve your goals and protect your rights. We will explain the legal issues your case presents and your legal options, so that you can make a truly-informed decision about how to proceed.
