Divorce is a major life event for anyone, but when children are involved, it is even more important to exercise careful decision-making and planning.

At Oliveros & O'Brien, P.C., we prioritize positive custody and visitation outcomes for our clients. This effort begins with understanding your relationships and goals, so we can assess options and offer informed counsel about likely outcomes. To discuss child custody and other aspects of your divorce with a proven Portland child custody lawyer, please contact our family law firm today.

Informed and Practical Counsel on All Issues Involving Children

Emotions run high when people's most important family relationships are at stake. Our courts make the best interests of the child the foremost consideration — and it is critical for parents to adopt this perspective as well. However, a father and mother who no longer communicate well almost always have some disagreement about what is best for the kids.

As you make choices that will profoundly affect your children's lives and your own, our child custody attorneys will strive to make certain you are fully informed. Our counsel will include:

  • Explaining the differences between sole custody and joint custody — including the impact on your parental rights and involvement as a residential or nonresidential parent
  • Discussion of child support and other financial considerations, enabling you to set realistic expectations about life after divorce
  • Seeking creative visitation and parenting time solutions that account for your work obligations while maximizing time with your children
  • Helping you take all steps necessary to improve your chances of gaining the child custody and visitation arrangements you want
  • Establishing standards for visiting the other parent in long-distance family situations
