If both parents agree on a child custody plan, you can have the agreement written up and filed as a formal stipulation and order with the court, avoiding a lengthy and stressful trial. Even if you disagree on certain issues, if you are willing to work together to negotiate a plan in your child’s best interest, mediation or collaborative negotiation can facilitate a solution.
At States Family Law, attorney Linda D. States works with parents to negotiate agreements outside of court whenever possible, saving you time, expense, and unnecessary conflict. However, if out-of-court negotiations do not protect your rights or your child’s well-being, Linda is prepared to advocate aggressively for your family in front of a judge.
