Washington Child Custody & Visitaton Attorneys

As a parent, you want what is best for your child. Unfortunately, the other parent may have different ideas about what is best, or may simply be hostile to any amicable resolution. Through mediation or negotiation, you may be able to find middle ground and move forward after your divorce. If you cannot work it out, a family court judge will make custody decisions for you.

Columbia Family Law Center provides strategies and legal support to resolve custody issues out of court, and passionate courtroom advocacy if litigation is required. Based in Federal Way, we represent parents in Pierce County, King County and the Tacoma corridor in contested custody proceedings and in collaborative law or mediation.

You Can Put Your Trust In Our Extensive Experience

Our attorneys have considerable experience in custody litigation and in negotiating custody agreements. In addition to traditional custody proceedings, they have substantial experience in custody proceedings involving military families, as well as international and interstate custody issues, including parental kidnapping.

Our team has achieved courtroom victories in notable custody cases spanning state and international borders. We welcome complex, high-conflict custody disputes that defy easy solutions.

Washington family courts name one parent as the residential parent. Columbia Family Law Center has successfully represented both mothers and fathers, whether they are seeking primary custody or trying to maximize their visitation. The law is gender-neutral, but custody typically goes to whoever does the hands-on parenting on a daily basis.

We handle all contentious matters relating to custody, including:

• Establishing and modifying parenting plans

• Child relocations, international or interstate

• Interference with visitation; parental alienation

• Non-parent and grandparent minor guardianship petitions

• Paternity issues and fathers’ claims for visitation

At Columbia Family Law Center, we pride ourselves on professional integrity and acting first and foremost in the best interests of the child or children at the heart of a custody dispute. We prepare compelling arguments based on the facts, without trying to destroy the other parent. However, we will vigorously challenge any dirty tactics from the opposing side to ensure that our clients get a fair and just result.
