Child Custody & Visitation
Child custody disputes are often the most difficult issues that parents have to face in a divorce proceeding. It is so hard to lose full access to your children, as you do when you separate from your spouse or significant other. The Court, teachers, social workers, doctors, attorneys appointed to represent the child, and others will be scrutinizing the parenting choices of both parents, and often times there will be misjudgments.
In addition, every law firm has its focus. Some law firms focus primarily on financial issues and do not have expertise in children's issues. Others just look for a quick and dirty solution to each problem that they encounter. Only a few family lawyers, like Ms. Hogan, have a depth of experience in heavily contested custody issues.
Moira Hogan and the Law Offices of Maynard & Hogan recognize the sensitive nature of these issues. We care about children. And we strive to help our clients to informally resolve all custody disputes early and in the best interests of all concerned.
When this is not possible, it is important to have a competent lawyer advising you and protecting you rights so that you don’t eventually wind up with a situation that you may regret. Our attorneys are fully prepared to represent clients throughout the custody evaluation process that is overseen by the court and to assist if and when any changes need to be made. For those who do not like the results of the early resolution processes, the only avenue may be a trial. If you are there, be sure that you have an experienced family law trial lawyer...like Ms. Hogan.
