Our streamlined process gets you the help you need quickly and efficiently.
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.
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.
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.
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.
