Bellevue child custody attorneys handle divorce, legal separation, and paternity cases in which child custody is an issue. A Bellevue child custody attorney will aim for a parenting plan that is best for the children in every child custody case. What is best for the children is usually, under normal circumstances, best discerned by the child’s parents. However, divorce is anything but normal circumstances, and Bellevue child custody lawyers have to be more than just versed in the law.

Bellevue child custody attorneys on both sides of a dispute represent a parent who believes in good faith that they should be the residential parent. In many cases, either parent in fact would make a fine residential parent. But when parents do not live together, choices must be made. That choice can be made either by the parties, who generally know their family best, or by a judge, who knows the law but is a stranger. Bellevue child custody attorneys maneuver through dilemmas like this with tact, communication, a thorough knowledge of the law, and experience with the legal process. Of course, sometimes a Bellevue child custody attorney must simply fight for their client, and knowing how and when to do this is something a Bellevue child custody lawyer will hone over years of practice.
