Child Custody

We take into account crucial aspects such as the geographical distance between parents, any history of domestic violence, the ability to co-parent, and the practicality of maintaining the children’s schooling.

“I tried to go at my child support case on my own for years and constantly received the short end of the stick. I went to Ms. Boyd with everything I had and she took my case surprisingly two days before the court day. She got the case continued and three months later I won the case. I was completely shocked at how the results came out. She knew what she was doing and went to bat for me with the facts. She is straight forward and honest. I highly recommended her, and her staff April and Kym are great as well. If she can help you, she will.”
