Exploring Alternative Dispute Resolution

If you and your spouse have been unable to reach an agreement regarding child custody or you wish to avoid litigation, you may want to consider mediation. Our Fort Walton Beach child custody attorneys are trained in mediation and can help you explore this form of alternative dispute resolution. We often recommend this as a way to sit down with your spouse and work out the details of shared child custody and visitation.

Child custody is typically broken up into three main categories:

  • Shared Parental Responsibility
  • Sole Parental Responsibility
  • Visitation
