Custody is often the most emotional and contentious issue to be resolved during the divorce process. Even long after the decree, these issues can continue to arise.
Edwards & Associates brings years of hands-on experience in custody cases to help people in the Greater Atlanta area. We employ a personal, empathetic approach combined with strong advocacy for our clients. Because we are selective in the cases we handle, you can be assured that your case will receive the personal attention it deserves.
We represent clients in matters involving:
-
Child custody
-
Visitation and parenting time
-
Parental move-aways
-
Paternity as it relates to custody and visitation
-
Modifications in custody and visitation
-
Grandparents' rights
Achieving Your Child Custody and Visitation Goals
Edwards & Associates works to realize your goals by using the appropriate legal tools, including negotiated settlements, mediation and collaborative law. Sometimes, the dispute is so contentious that litigation is required to achieve a client’s goals. In these cases, Edwards & Associates will undertake energetic litigation to protect your rights and the best interests of your child or children.
Our firm has successfully obtained sole custody and joint custody for numerous clients in the Atlanta area.
We always place the highest priority on the children. Our firm will not accept a custody case if we think that it is not in the children's best interest to reside with the parent who is requesting custody. This selectivity ensures that we believe in you and your case, and that we are protecting your children's interests as well as your own.
Working with a Guardian Ad Litem
In some custody cases, the judge may appoint a guardian ad litem to determine what is best for the children.
The guardian will investigate the background of the parties, their living conditions, their relationships and any other issues related to the welfare of the children. Our lawyers are skilled in working with guardians ad litem to ensure that they have the proper information and that our client is presented in the best possible light.
At Edwards & Associates, we understand that your children are important to you. We will work to achieve your child custody and visitation goals so that you can enjoy meaningful parental relationships with your children.
