Divorces are always a heavy emotional burden, complications only get worse when children are involved. Children should be the most important aspect of any divorce, and when both parents believe they know what is best for their children a high conflict custody case can arise. Sometimes joint custody agreements cannot work when the destructive communication between two disagreeing parents creates a negative atmosphere for the children. The safety of the children, both mentally and physically, needs to be protected at all times, even if that means fighting for sole custody over your beloved children.
At Kirker Davis LLP, we understand the psychological trauma that is created during a divorce process. Every member of our legal team is dedicated to helping protect children from this trauma and ensure their future safety.

Resolving a high conflict custody case is never simple. Many times both parents are adamant that they are doing what is right for their children. However, for the children’s sake, it is often best to resolve the custody case as quickly and quietly as possible.
