Respected Attorneys for Child Custody Matters
A matter that affects your child requires responsive and aggressive legal attention. At Foreman & Caraciolo, this is exactly what we provide. Our experienced lawyers are well equipped to handle complex child custody matters efficiently and effectively regardless of whether they involve sole or shared custody, visitation rights, fathers' rights, grandparents' rights, enforcing custody orders, parental kidnapping or some other concern.
Attorneys at our Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, law office have been appointed as guardians ad litem (professionals who appear in a lawsuit on behalf of a child) by the courts in child custody disputes. We have also been selected to serve as arbitrators, as judges know our representation for ethical and effective work.
Custody Conciliation and the Best Interests of the Children
When dealing with children, the courts always look toward the best interests of the child, not just what will work the best for the mother or the father. However, the state of Pennsylvania also recognizes that parents often know better than the court when it comes to the best interests of their child. The process of custody conciliation is used to allow parents and a conciliator to sit down and talk about what would be best for the children. The conciliator can then use the input of the parents when making recommendations to the court about custody and visitation issues.
Allegations of Abuse and Domestic Violence
Unfortunately, in contentious or bitter custody battles some parents make false accusations of child abuse or domestic violence in an attempt to get the upper hand in custody decisions. These cases often need special attention. Because our law office is located directly across the street from the Dauphin County Courthouse, we are well-positioned to take immediate action in times of crisis.
