Child Custody

Child Custody Attorney in Charleston, SC


Our firm works in the best interests of the child. If the custody cannot be agreed upon, the judge will appoint a guardian ad litem to represent the best interests of your children. We educate clients about those interests and about the assumptions of the courts. The courts require mediation to resolve child custody disputes, before the final trial. We can arrange to hire a skilled mediator and will represent you during the process. Using mediation is often less stressful, less expensive, and faster than traditional litigation. Call now at (843) 559-1817 for a free consultation.
