Child Custody

Put Your Children First In Your Custody Arrangement

Divorce or family separation is a time of great upheaval for everyone in your family: You, your spouse, and, most importantly, your children. When the time comes to determine a custody arrangement, it is not helpful to anyone to devolve into quarreling and animosity.

Cook Law & Mediation Services is the Pennsylvania law firm to assist you in creating a child custody arrangement that suits both partners and your children. Whether you wish to discuss full custody, partial custody or custody relocation, we can help. With decades of experience, our dedicated family law attorneys can assist you and your spouse to reach the custody arrangement that benefits your family.

What Are The Benefits Of Private Negotiations?

• Going to trial is usually significantly more expensive and time-consuming than reaching a settlement privately.

• In court, a judge will issue the final decision — and you might not like it. A settlement gives you more control over the outcome.

• Maintain a positive relationship with your former spouse or partner. This makes co-parenting much easier as you move forward.

• Without a doubt, your children are more important to you than anything else in the world. Private discussions shield your children from the stress of a court battle.

However, We Are Not Afraid To Go To Court

Although we at Cook Law & Mediation Services believe that most custody cases are best resolved amicably, we understand that this is not always possible. If your spouse or partner makes unreasonable demands or insists on a custody arrangement that is not in the best interests of the children, we will take your case to court. While we are compassionate with our clients, we are assertive in the courtroom. We will maintain as much civility as possible as we fight for a positive outcome.
