Child Custody/Visitation

Washington Child Custody Attorneys

Child custody and visitation are among the many issues that need to be resolved in a divorce. For many of our clients, it is the most important issue, and quite naturally so. More and more, custody is awarded to parents, or someone close to a child’s mother or father, even though this arrangement might be inappropriate. This may be due to abuse, incarceration, drug or alcohol abuse, or mental illness. We can advise relatives, grandparents or even family friends on the process and file a petition for non-parental custody.

The law firm of Gilson-Moreau & Associates, P.S., can advise and represent you in all matters involving child custody, visitation, parenting plans, post-divorce custody modifications, and parental relocations. Call us at 425-462-2226 for a reduced-rate consultation.

The Law, Your Rights, and the Best Interests of the Child

In Washington State, the law requires that a parenting plan be developed that identifies the primary residence of the child, the primary caregiver, and the time that the other parent can spend with the child. While this is supposedly one of the final outcomes of the divorce process, in practice, the temporary arrangements established early on often become the basis for the final parenting plan. It is essential that your rights and the best interests of the child are protected from the start.
