The legal end of a marriage marks an enormous change in someone’s life, especially when children are involved. Courts use many factors to determine if one parent or both gets physical custody and decision-making responsibility for a child, including the child’s age and health status, his or her relationship to other family members and what caretaking responsibilities each parent has had. There are times when untrue allegations are made by one parent against the other, in order to gain custody. Robert Dunlap vigorously defends his clients against unfair charges. He is a tough negotiator who will fight for your ability to maintain a strong presence in your child’s life.
