Child custody is a complicated issue, with the potential to quickly escalate into a combative situation with no end in sight. At Sciro & Marotta, P.C., we understand how stressful of a time this is for any parent. We’re here to understand the needs and concerns of individuals and their families in the Paterson area to work toward reaching a successful outcome.

Parents are instinctively protective. When it comes to your children, what’s in their best interest is always at the forefront of your mind. Our attorneys are experienced in providing legal guidance in a wide array of child custody cases, including to parents who are newly separated or divorced, unmarried parents seeking to establish paternity, parents looking to modify a previous court order and more.

Child custody cases can become even more complicated when changes arise. An existing child custody order may need to be modified, including if one of the parents is considering relocating and wants to bring their child with them. Requesting a modification can be complex; however, working with one of our experienced attorneys can help your case get the consideration it deserves.

As with other family law matters, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods are the preferred route of resolving child custody issues, unless litigation is necessary. Our lawyers recognize the sensitive nature of child custody cases and that such an emotional subject can make for an aggressive courtroom setting. We have both considerable negotiation and trial experience, and will always work hard to resolve your case according to what is in your best interest.

Our attorneys are prepared to help you reach a resolution that works for both you and your child. Contact us by calling our attorneys at 866-426-5123 or by submitting an inquiry online if you have a child custody agreement, child relocation or child custody modification issue.
