– CHILD CUSTODY –
Parental Custody:
As a mother of four, Kristin A. Molavoque understands the intense emotions associated with maintaining a loving, healthy relationship with your children, especially during times of transition. For divorcing or separating couples, child custody often is emotionally charged and one of the biggest challenges to face. Child custody issues frequently can be contentious and result in continued court battles long after parties have separated or a divorce has been finalized. At Molavoque Law, we are committed to persuasively advocating for and protecting your rights to raise your child in a healthy environment. We will work to achieve child custody arrangements aligned with your goals and that consider the best interests and welfare of your child.
There are different types of custody arrangements involving legal and physical custody, and numerous factors that are considered under Pennsylvania law when determining custody arrangements. Kristin A. Molavoque recognizes the need to minimize the hurtful impact custody battles can have on children, and as a court-appointed custody mediator, relies on her mediation skills and her collaborative law training to foster an amicable approach to resolving custody issues, keeping in mind that if she mediates your case, she cannot represent either side independently. Our firm will use the law to negotiate an optimal child custody solution consistent with your parental goals. While Kristin A. Molavoque’s qualifications and approach may serve to lessen the degree of contentiousness in your custody matter, if a resolution cannot be reached and litigation is the only viable option, our firm will strongly represent the best interests of your child and protect your legal rights. Whether you are seeking shared or sole custody, proposing or facing parental relocation, pursuing Special Immigrant Juvenile Status Custody, or looking to modify an existing custody order, contact Kristin A. Molavoque, Esquire to ensure you understand your parental rights.
Grandparents’ Custodial Rights:
The relationship between grandparents and grandchildren can be very influential on a child, and in some divorce or separation situations, grandparents may seek custodial rights. Molavoque Law is committed to protecting your legal rights as grandparents and assertively advocating so that you have a voice.
Whether you feel that it is in the best interest of the child to be in your custody as a grandparent, or are looking to preserve a meaningful relationship with your grandchildren after a divorce or separation, contact Kristin A. Molavoque, Esquire to help you understand your rights and explore your options.
Relocation Custody:
Many times after a divorce or separation, a parent may choose to relocate out-of-state for a career, a new relationship, or to be closer to family. When a minor is involved, this can cause legal complications for divorcing or separating couples and families, regardless of whether there is an existing child custody order or agreement in place. Whether you or your former spouse or partner is choosing to relocate, Molavoque Law understands the complexities surrounding relocation custody issues, is committed to listening to and educating you on your rights and the legal process, and is dedicated to developing realistic and creative solutions to promote your interests and support your goals.
As with any child custody issue, decisions are made in the best interests of the child, and Molavoque Law will use the law to negotiate an optimal relocation custody solution. Our firm relies on our mediation qualifications and collaborative law background to promote an amicable approach to relocation custody dispute resolutions, with the understanding that if Molavoque Law is mediating the matter, Molavoque Law cannot represent either side.
