Years of proven success protecting parental rights and securing fair custody arrangements.

Every case matters. We prioritize protecting your relationship with your children and their best interests.

Whether you're seeking primary custody or fighting to maintain equal parenting time, custody battles are emotionally draining and legally complex. No matter who initiated the custody dispute or what the circumstances are, fighting for your children is difficult for all involved. It is important to have an experienced, compassionate child custody lawyer on your side. You need an attorney who not only clearly explains the legal issues and process, but who also listens and remains sensitive to the unique dynamics of your family situation.

Our child custody lawyers explain the parenting time laws, inform you of your rights and options with regard to custody schedules, and inform you of what to expect during a custody case. With years of exclusive custody law experience, we offer knowledgeable, compassionate legal representation and remain accessible to our clients throughout the process. You will always know the status of your case and how we're fighting for your parental rights.

Life circumstances change, and sometimes custody arrangements need to be modified. Our custody lawyers handle modification requests when significant changes occur, relocation disputes when a parent wants to move, and enforcement of existing custody orders. We ensure your children's best interests remain the priority while protecting your parental rights.

As an experienced family law firm, we know what it takes to help parents through custody disputes. It takes the right plan.

When it comes to custody cases, most parents are overwhelmed and don't know where to begin. They feel that one wrong decision can cost them time with their children.

Most parents can't see a path to protecting their relationship with their children. When we sit down with someone, we do everything possible to help them see that path. We help parents see that although a custody battle can feel overwhelming and scary, they can fight for their parental rights and secure meaningful time with their children. We enjoy helping parents make the best decisions possible for their children's future. Our job is to help them walk that better path.

How do I protect my parental rights during a custody dispute?

If you're facing a custody battle and worried about losing time with your children or facing an unfair custody arrangement, you're dealing with decisions that will impact your relationship with your kids for years to come. These aren't situations where you want to figure things out alone. Having experienced legal guidance means you can fight for fair parenting time while we handle the legal complexities and protect your parental rights.

What should I expect during my first consultation?

We'll take time to understand your situation, your concerns about custody and parenting time, and what matters most to you and your children. Whether you're dealing with an initial custody determination or a modification, we'll explain your rights clearly and help you understand the path forward. This isn't about legal jargon—it's about giving you clarity during a difficult time so you can make informed decisions about your children's future.

How long does a child custody case typically take?

Every situation is unique. Uncontested custody arrangements can move relatively quickly, while contested custody battles require more time to build the strongest possible case for your parenting time. What matters most is that we're with you every step of the way, fighting for your parental rights and keeping you informed throughout the process. You're not alone in this.

Your first step to protecting your parental rights starts with a consultation at our office or online.

The promise we make to anyone that comes to Sherwood Family Law is that we will take the time to understand and empathize with where you are in life. When we understand your concerns about your children and your parental rights, we will help you create a plan on how to move forward and protect your relationship with your children.

We will guide you step by step through the custody process, so that you can worry less and have more peace of mind about your children's future.
