  • Where the children will be.
  • Who will make decisions.
  • What the children can or cannot do while in either parent's care.

Our attorneys work in partnership with clients to negotiate workable parenting plans, encouraging them to arrive at agreements outside of court. In addition to reducing costs, this oftentimes results in better resolutions than having a judge make these crucial decisions.

When, however, the children's best interests cannot be served through amicable negotiation, we proceed to the courtroom by carefully preparing our clients for their day in court, being sensitive to their individual needs and those of their children.

Our attorneys are experienced litigators in high-conflict custody cases and matters involving complex areas of the law including:

  • Interstate/International jurisdictional issues.
  • Cases in which one party seeks to relocate the children to a distant county, state, or country.

Whether or not a client's situation presents such complex legal questions, Seastrom & Seastrom treats this area of the case as paramount. We guide our clients through the process of reaching the ultimate goal: Making sure the children's best interests are met.

Paternity
Seastrom & Seastrom helps our clients achieve successful outcomes in paternity matters. These cases may be initiated by the mother or father and require legal acknowledgment of the parental relationship between a man and a child for custody or child support orders.
