Hiring a good divorce lawyer and child custody lawyer should not only be top priority because it will bring your situation to a speedy resolution, but also because it will make a child custody situation less stressful for your children. At The Law Office and Mediation Center of Jeannine M. Talbot in Torrington, CT, she fights for resolving child custody, child support and family law disputes. She also knows that her services can make a difference in terms of how children will be affected in these situations.

Unlike other legal situations, family law is not always “cut-and-dry” and courts will consider a variety of factors in a custody dispute. You may already know that courts will consider what is “in the best interests of the child” when deciding child custody disputes and a good lawyer will help you understand what goes in to defining this standard.

To determine this standard, courts will look into the age and sex of the child as well as the emotional bonds the child has with each parent. Naturally, these and other factors will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and your child custody lawyer is a critical factor in making sure that your case is well demonstrated before the court.

 

In general, however, resolving a child custody dispute in mediation is a much better option for dueling parties. This process involves the use of a neutral party (mediator) to help parents reach an amicable solution in a child custody dispute. It is not only faster and less expensive than going to court, but a skilled mediator can help to reduce stress on parents and children by providing a basis for which both parties can come to an agreement.
