Practice Area – Child Custody

Despite how the media portrays divorce and child custody, most divorcing couples come to a parenting plan for what had been called custody (allocation of parental responsibilities and parenting time).

The Gitlin Law Firm believes that it is essential to have the support of an experienced and professional legal support team if there is the possibility that any aspect of what had been called custody or visitation may be contested.
