Custody for Arab families in Boston

Arabic-speaking family lawyers handle international custody disputes, especially involving Lebanese and Egyptian family courts.
The custody process with an Arab lawyer
Our Arabic-speaking custody attorneys guide you through every step of your case in Boston.
Custody Consultation & Strategy
We assess your situation, the child's needs, and develop a custody strategy. This includes evaluating any international risks, domestic violence history, and each parent's involvement in the child's life.
Parenting Plan Development
We draft a proposed parenting plan covering physical custody schedule, decision-making authority, holidays, vacations, and communication. For Arab families, this often includes provisions for religious education and cultural practices.
Mediation or Negotiation
Many courts require mediation before trial. We negotiate with the other parent's attorney to reach agreement. Mediation is often more productive for Arab families who want to minimize public conflict.
Custody Evaluation (if needed)
A court-appointed evaluator interviews both parents, the child, and sometimes teachers and other figures. They observe parent-child interactions and make recommendations to the judge. We prepare you thoroughly for this critical step.

Read what Arab American families in Boston say about our Arabic-speaking custody attorneys.
“We had a prenup signed in Lebanon that my husband claimed wasn't valid in the US. My lawyer brought in an expert on Lebanese family law and convinced the court to honor it. Saved me months of fighting over assets. The prenup protected me exactly like it was supposed to.”

“My ex stopped paying child support and moved to another state. My lawyer tracked him down, filed for enforcement in his new state, and got the court to garnish his wages. Four months of back support showed up in one payment. My kids needed that money for school supplies.”

“My ex wanted to take our son to Jordan for the summer and I was terrified he wouldn't bring him back. My lawyer got a court order requiring supervised travel arrangements and passport surrender. My son had his vacation and came home on time. She understood my fears as a mother perfectly.”
