Child Custody and Removal (Moveaway) Cases
It may be possible to negotiate a settlement in custody disputes and removal (moveaway) cases, but litigation may often be required. In Massachusetts, the standard that determines the outcome of all child custody and visitation matters is "the best interest of the child." Courts do have the discretionary power to decide cases, though they are bound by case law and statute. They are naturally reluctant to deny parental custody or visitation rights, but they will do so when they are convinced that it is in the best interest of the child.
In representing you, I will work to build a strong and persuasive case that achieves your goals.
A Realistic Assessment of Your Case
Some people have unrealistic expectations about the result they expect to get in a custody or removal (moveaway) dispute. I am always careful to explain the realities that my client faces. Yes, there is the possibility of success in such cases. But in taking up a custody dispute, you are placing the ultimate outcome in the hands of a judge. You may not get the result you are seeking.
I will evaluate your situation and your goals, and provide you with an honest assessment of your case. This will include a discussion of the potential risks and legal costs of your case. If your case has merit and you wish to proceed, I will work vigorously to achieve your goals.
