Practice area guide
What does a child custody lawyer do?
Child custody law covers where children live and how decisions about them are made after parents separate: custody or residence, contact or visitation, parental responsibility, relocation, including moves abroad, and the enforcement of orders. Courts decide on the basis of the child’s best interests, and many countries expect mediation first.
How do I choose a child custody lawyer?
- Choose a lawyer who regularly appears in the family court that will hear your case.
- For a move abroad or a child taken abroad, ask about experience with the Hague Child Abduction Convention where it applies.
- Keep a record of care arrangements, school and medical information, and messages between the parents.
