Child Custody: How Marinoff & Associates Can Help
At Marinoff & Associates, we understand that child custody disputes are among the most emotional and challenging aspects of family law. Whether you are seeking custody of your child or working through a custody battle, our experienced legal team is here to advocate for your parental rights and ensure the best interests of your child are prioritized.
What Is Child Custody?
Child custody refers to the legal and physical care of a child following the separation or divorce of parents. Custody arrangements can be either joint (shared by both parents) or sole (granted to one parent), and they can include decisions about where the child will live, which parent will make important decisions regarding the child's education and health, and visitation schedules.

- Modification of Custody Orders: If circumstances change after a custody arrangement is in place (such as a change in a parent’s living situation, employment, or the child’s needs), we can help you request modifications to existing custody orders to better suit your family’s evolving needs.
