Las Vegas Child Custody Lawyers

Child custody issues can be one of the most difficult and challenging aspects of a divorce. There can be nothing more painful than deciding who cares for the children and when a parent can see the children. Parents involved in a divorce can often times be focused on the harm done to them in a marriage and lose sight of the painful effects that divorce and  the related struggles can have on their children. Very often the court uses the standard of what’s in the best interests of the child. Child custody lawyers and family court judges will use that when deciding what to do in a custody hearing.

Andre Lagomarsino manages the divorce and child custody practice at Parker Scheer Lagomarsino, and he understands custody and knows how to manage your case. Once we accept your case, (two lead paralegals are assigned to every case) we begin working on it immediately.

Oftentimes during this process, a judge will appoint a Guardian ad Litem (GAL). The guardian ad litem will investigate and determine custody and visitation issues. The guardian is often an objective third party that could be an attorney or member of the psychological or counseling community. This person gathers information, speaks with the children and parents, and advises the court on the best course of action. Many times the guardian at litem is paid for by both parties. This takes place prior to the trial so that the guardian at litem can present objective recommendations to the judge. In some instances this may prevent a trial as the judge gives special consideration to the guardian’s recommendations.
