Raising the Standards, Not the Stakes in Child Custody Disputes

One side or the other involved in child custody or visitation disputes may raise the stakes. Being angry and hurt is normal during a divorce proceeding, but those emotions can do more harm than good when you are negotiating a child custody arrangement.

Cooperation Through Mediation

At DeBast McFarland and Richardson, our experience has told us that cooperation between a divorcing mother and father equals success. Mediation is not only vital, but also required in two of the counties in the Tri-County Area. While Clackamas County does not mandate mediation, the process is strongly encouraged.

Your counselor-at-law from our family law firm will counsel you in the mediation process. Making your spouse look bad may or may not help your case, but it definitely hurts your child. Let us help you find a middle ground. Let us help you find peace. Let us help you move on to the next chapter of an emotionally healthy life.
