CHILD CUSTODY

Children can be well served when parents maintain an amicable relationship. Through the structured process of mediation, couples can often set aside hostility and agree on key decisions affecting their children. Mediation can be a highly effective tool for parents to preserve their children’s well-being and the stability of their lives during the often turbulent process of divorce. Mediation takes some of the stress out of child custody conflicts and puts important child-rearing decisions in the hands of the parents rather than the court. Derrick H. Muhammad assists his clients develop mediation strategies that often  help craft a resolution without the necessity of a trial.
