A child family investigator (CFI) may be appointed in your case to make a recommendation regarding the custody, residence, and parenting time of your child. We are familiar with the family law court system and its processes. If the court appoints a child family investigator, we know how to assist our clients in documenting facts that will be relevant and useful in your case.

The allocation of parental responsibilities or child custody, is often the most difficult issue in a divorce proceeding. The court will determine whether you or your spouse will have joint or sole custody and legal or physical custody of the children. The court, using the statutory guidelines, will determine the amount of child support owed to the caretaking spouse. Many times these decisions can cause conflict between the parents and the children. Our attorneys will investigate the facts and prepare the best case for our clients to protect their custody interests.
