Custody & Parenting Time

Putting Children's Best Interests First

When parents separate, one of the most important and sensitive issues to resolve is custody and parenting time. At Crouss Law, we know how deeply these decisions affect children and families, and we are committed to helping parents create fair, practical arrangements that focus on what matters most—the well-being of the children.

Creating Parenting Plans That Work

Every family is unique, and so are the solutions. We guide parents through the process of developing parenting plans that address daily schedules, holidays, school activities, and more. By fostering open communication and cooperation, we help create agreements that are realistic, balanced, and designed to support children’s stability and growth.

The Importance of Respectful Communication

Custody and parenting time arrangements work best when parents are able to communicate effectively. Through collaborative law and mediation, we encourage respectful dialogue that reduces conflict and allows parents to focus on shared goals. This cooperative approach not only benefits children but also sets the foundation for healthier long-term co-parenting relationships.

Modifying Parenting Arrangements

Life changes, and parenting agreements sometimes need to change as well. We assist families with modifications to custody and parenting time when circumstances shift, such as a new job, relocation, or the evolving needs of children. Our goal is to ensure that arrangements remain fair, practical, and in the best interests of the family.
