Expert guidance, tailored for you.

Custody

Child custody battles can be one of the most emotionally charged aspects of a divorce or separation. At the Law Offices of John S. Cossum, we are dedicated to advocating for your parental rights and ensuring the best outcome for your children. Our experienced team understands the complexities of custody laws and works tirelessly to develop a strategy that prioritizes the well-being of your child while protecting your rights as a parent.

01

Primary Custody

Seeking primary custody involves demonstrating that you are the best fit to be the child’s primary caregiver. We build a strong case to show your ability to provide a stable, nurturing environment, highlighting your involvement in your child’s life.

02

Joint Custody

Joint custody arrangements require cooperation between parents and careful planning. We help negotiate terms that allow for shared responsibilities while addressing any concerns about co-parenting and ensuring a balanced involvement in your child’s life.

03

Visitation Rights

If you are not the primary custodian, securing fair visitation rights is essential. We work to establish a visitation schedule that allows you to maintain a meaningful relationship with your child and ensures that your rights are respected.

04

Modification of Custody Orders

Changes in circumstances may require adjustments to existing custody orders. Whether you need to modify custody due to relocation, changes in work schedules, or other significant factors, we guide you through the legal process to seek a fair modification.

05

Emergency Custody



In situations where immediate action is required to protect a child’s safety, we help you seek emergency custody orders. We work quickly to address urgent issues and ensure the child’s immediate needs are met.

06

Custody Disputes and Mediation

When parents cannot agree on custody arrangements, mediation can help resolve disputes. We represent your interests in mediation sessions, working to reach a fair and amicable resolution that serves the best interests of your child.
