Experienced Legal Representation in Child Custody Disputes
Child custody and visitation rights are two of the most contested issues in any divorce settlement. At the Law Offices of Shea & Barron, we understand that no two cases are the same. We assist clients throughout South Carolina with a variety of family law issues. Our attorneys have children of their own and understand the importance of maintaining a parent-child relationship.
Experienced Lexington Visitation Lawyers
We provide the individualized assessment and attention our clients need in child custody disputes. We take all allegations of abuse seriously and examine any evidence of irresponsible parental behavior, including examination of online accounts such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. We offer compassionate, yet frank, advice so that clients can set realistic expectations regarding the possible outcomes of their cases.
Our goal is to help families achieve resolutions that balance their immediate and future interests. Wherever possible, we seek to help clients obtain amicable resolutions through mediation or arbitration. However, if no amicable settlement can be reached, our attorneys use their trial experience to pursue our clients' interests in court. We always strive to obtain the solution that works in the best interests of the children involved.
We also can advocate for grandparents' rights and fathers' rights to visitation and custody. This advocacy includes paternity services and settling joint or sole physical custody.
We also have handled custody and divorce issues involving gay and lesbian parents and spouses.
Modifying an Existing Custody Agreement
Our firm also provides services for those who wish to modify or enforce an existing custody agreement. There are many reasons to seek a modification such as relocation for a job or the remarriage of either spouse. We assess each situation on a case-by-case basis, and do what is necessary to protect our clients' rights and the best interests of the children involved.
