Carlsbad, CA, Lawyer Resolves High-Conflict Custody Disputes
Dealing with mental-health issues in child custody cases
Child custody is usually an emotional issue, even when parents agree on most matters. However, some child-custody cases develop into contentious battles that are stressful, frustrating and painful. I am uniquely positioned to resolve your high-conflict custody disputes. Please see our section for more information on this issue. I care deeply about your children’s well-being and believe strongly in Family Court-law justice. I advocate for a custody arrangement and parenting plan that is best for you and your Family Court.
A law firm with a psychology and family-counseling background
At Silverman Family Law, APC, I have 20+ years of experience in family law and extensive training in alternative dispute-resolution techniques. I am effective in developing resolutions through mediation and collaborative divorce methods and am known for my ability to obtain results through litigation when parents cannot agree to a fair parenting plan.
I hold a Ph.D. in counseling psychology, a master’s in guidance and counseling, a master’s in behavioral sciences and epidemiology, and a bachelor’s in psychology. My 15-year career as a psychologist and family counselor is a valuable resource in helping you understand the other parent’s behavior, cope with the anxiety associated with a high-conflict custody dispute and make the most beneficial decisions for your children.
Challenging custody issues
High-conflict custody disputes typically involve serious mental-health issues. I thoroughly investigate the origins of your disputes and address these matters directly in our case strategy. I assertively pursue solutions that protect you and your children from the damaging consequences of:
- Substance abuse — If the other parent is abusing drugs or alcohol, I request that the Court consider substance-abuse issues in its custody decisions and order testing, assessment and treatment as a condition of the other parent’s visitation rights.
- Domestic violence — I help you take the necessary steps to protect your family from domestic violence, including pursuing a restraining order against your abuser. If you have been accused of domestic violence, I will vigorously defend your rights.
- Parental alienation — To repair the damage caused by parental estrangement or alienation, I employ strategies to improve and repair your relationship with your child. I have substantial experience with this type of case and can effectively advocate to the court for interventions appropriate to your situation.
