Parenting and the care of children can be a highly emotional area of family law. It is easy to “get carried away” in the allegations and emotions, and lose sight of what is most important. This is when you need the assistance of someone with good judgment, expert legal knowledge, and experience.
Greg LeClair has over 30 years experience dealing with all areas of family law. Through that experience, he has learned the importance of negotiations and when it may be appropriate to pursue a custody dispute resolution through the courts.
Regarding disputes over children and child support, the courts should almost always be the “last choice” in resolving matters. It is preferable to make initial attempts at custody dispute resolution through direct negotiations, not court involvement (except if personal safety is threatened and court involvement is necessary to obtain restraining/protection orders). If necessary, more formal modes of non-court custody dispute resolution may be attempted, such as mediation and/or arbitration. Only as a last resort, should court involvement be used.
