Child Custody

Seattle, Bellevue Attorney:  Child Custody and Visitation

Nothing is more important to a parent than his or her children.  Unfortunately, children are sometimes placed in the middle of heated custody and visitation disputes that force them in a difficult and emotional situation.

At the Andrew Kim Law Firm, PLLC, we strongly advise all parties to a divorce or paternity proceeding to put the needs of the children first when handling disputes over custody or visitation.  When handling a custody or visitation matter, we always explore communication and mediation as a means of handling disputes in the most amicable, affordable and efficient manner possible.

Despite our best efforts and the intention of most parents to seek the best possible arrangement for their children, there are cases that must go to trial.  There are cases in which domestic abuse is a factor, a parent is moving out of state or a parent is simply unwilling to be reasonable.  When these cases occur and the parties are unable to reach a mutual agreement, we are prepared to aggressively advocate for our client's parental rights at trial.

Divorce, Post-Divorce and Paternity

Our firm handles all custody and visitation matters, including those that occur during a divorce, after a divorce or during a paternity proceeding.  We are also pleased to assist clients with modifications of child custody or parenting plan.
