Additionally, parents may have an existing custody order, but one of them may want to move out of the area, and this requires additional custody litigation to permit relocation.

And sometimes, in cases where parents are unmarried, but are still together in a relationship, one or both of them may want to obtain a court order to define custody while things are amicable.

There are also other many issues which can affect custody, such as substance abuse and addiction, physical, sexual, or emotional abuse, mental health issues, and any special needs of the child.

She will help you understand the different aspects of legal and physical custody, and will work with you to resolve the situation in a way that benefits the child while preserving healthy relationships with each parent.

MK believes that your best option is to work together with the other parent to negotiate an agreement tailored to the specific needs of the child.
