Comprehensive Child Custody Services

Protecting Parental Rights and Your Child’s Future

At Krasner Law, we offer a wide array of services designed to address the unique needs and challenges that arise in child custody cases. Our goal is to guide you through this emotionally charged process while safeguarding your parental rights and prioritizing the well-being of your children.

Enforcement of Court Orders in Non-Compliance Cases

When one party fails to adhere to a custody or visitation agreement, it can create undue stress and instability for both the parent and child. Our team works to ensure court orders are upheld, using legal remedies to enforce compliance swiftly and effectively.

Support for Grandparents Seeking Visitation Rights

Grandparents often play a vital role in a child’s life. If your visitation or custodial rights are being denied, we can help you navigate the legal pathways to advocate for a meaningful relationship with your grandchildren.

Modifications of Existing Custody Agreements

Life circumstances can change, making existing custody arrangements unworkable. We assist clients in petitioning the court for modifications that reflect current needs while maintaining stability for the child.

Assistance with Relocation and Out-of-State Custody Matters

Whether you are seeking to relocate or responding to a request from the other parent, these cases require careful legal navigation. We help you demonstrate how the move benefits your child or how to protect your parenting time when the move poses challenges.

Advocacy in Parental Alienation Disputes

Parental alienation can damage the relationship between a parent and child, often with lasting consequences. We work diligently to address these situations, presenting clear evidence to the court and striving to rebuild and protect your bond with your child.

Representation in Contested Custody Cases

When parents cannot agree on custody arrangements, the dispute may require a court to decide. Our team is highly skilled in presenting compelling arguments to the court, supported by evidence that highlights your suitability as a custodial parent and serves your child’s best interests.
