The Best Interests of the Child
Child Custody Lawyers in the Greater Portland Area
Divorces and break-ups are hard enough for children to handle without parents fighting over the issues of child custody. Luckily, family courts, most family law attorneys, and even spouses who are very angry with one another usually recognize this fact and will work hard to protect the children from the worst aspects of separation and divorce.
At Helzer & Cromar, LLP, our primary goal is protecting your children's best interests and their future.

Contested and Uncontested Child Custody
In uncontested child custody cases, whatever arrangement the parents have agreed to is subject to court review. Courts can modify proposed custody agreements as they see fit and generally prefer arrangements where the children have one primary residence but get enough time to have meaningful and healthy relationships with each parent regardless of which one they live with.
If the parents cannot agree on this issue, or if there are issues of abuse, abandonment, drug use, or alcoholism involved — litigation may be unavoidable. In these cases, Oregon courts look at a number of different factors before deciding the outcome.
In either case, our attorneys can provide you with the personal attention you deserve, and with the experienced, strong representation needed to achieve your goals.
