Creating Strong Parenting Plans

Our experience with local Douglas County schools, activities, and community programs helps us craft practical solutions that benefit both parents and children.

Making Decisions for Your Children’s Future

We help negotiate and secure decision-making rights that keep you actively involved in your children’s lives. Our team ensures your parental rights are protected while fostering cooperative solutions whenever possible.

Supporting Your Children’s Financial Needs 

A strong parenting plan includes provisions for your children’s financial security. We help navigate child support calculations, extraordinary expenses, and financial responsibility divisions. Our goal is to ensure your children’s needs are fully met while maintaining fair and reasonable support arrangements.
