An Oregon Parenting Time Lawyer Helping You With Peaceful Resolutions
At Yates Family Law, PC, we do not promote the use of children as pawns to gain an advantage in a dispute. Going before a judge is expensive and can be unsatisfying. When either parent steps inside the courtroom you no longer control the decision-making process that impacts your kids. We strive to resolve disputes concerning children outside of the courtroom.
Mediation is not only an opportunity to take control, but also help facilitate a better relationship with the other parent. That foundation of cooperation helps to resolve many future problems and reduces the likelihood of returning to court. Peace and common understanding can go a long way toward the emotional well-being of your children.
While we are proponents of negotiation in the best interests of the children, our attorney is ready and equipped to litigate child custody and parenting plan disputes. Our focus in the courtroom is to successfully advocate for the best interests of your children. Contact Us
