Brevard County Child Custody Lawyers
At Morgan & Barbary, we understand that child custody matters are emotionally charged. But our philosophy is to bring parents together to work out an agreement that is in the best interests of both the children and adults. An out-of-court resolution is less costly, less bitter and almost always better in the long run than a court's ruling.
Our experienced family law attorneys handle all matters relating to child custody and financial support:
- Primary residential custody and visitation (parenting time)
- Legal custody (decisions about education, health and upbringing)
- Shared custody (joint custody split 50/50)
- Child support and enforcement (contempt proceedings)
- Post-divorce modifications, including out-of-state relocation
- Establishing or challenging paternity
Morgan & Barbary serves clients in Melbourne, Palm Bay, Titusville and all communities of Brevard County, Florida. Contact us today to arrange your initial consultation.
Child Custody: Seeking Solutions
When it comes to your children, we realize the give-and-take of mediation or negotiation can be difficult. Attorneys David Arthur and Patrick Barbary discourage custody litigation, which can drag out for many months and strain financial resources. But if the other parent has unreasonable demands, they are prepared to defend your ground in court.
We don't make false promises or stir the pot to increase our fees. We give clients realistic expectations about how a family law court is likely to rule, and strive to find common ground. After all, you will continue as co-parents for years to come, and the decisions you make today will shape the nature of that relationship.
Child Support
Financial support is determined by state guidelines. We challenge the level of child support only if the other parent is falsely representing income or deductions. However, we can step in if circumstances change (new job, layoff, remarriage) or if the ex-spouse is not paying court-ordered support.
If emotions are clouding your judgment, or the other parent is dead set on litigation, Morgan & Barbary offers effective representation and objective legal counsel. Call 321-473-3276 or toll-free 866-620-3523 to arrange a confidential consultation.
