Legal Representation for Children

Connecticut Custody Lawyers and Child Advocates

What about the children? That is the first thought that enters many people's minds when divorce seems imminent. How you handle your divorce has a direct impact on your kids, especially when court is involved. For these situations, it makes sense to work with a family law attorney who has significant experience working with the children of divorcing couples.

Connecticut custody lawyers Nancy Segore-Freshman and Louise McGlynn have extensive experience representing children as AMCs (attorney-minor children) and GAL (guardian ad litem). They can help your older children make informed decisions about what is best for them and how they see their situation after the divorce. They can also act as advocates for young children who are incapable of making decisions for themselves, such as which school they would like to attend or which parent would be the preferable primary parent.

Divorce situations that require the use of an AMC or GAL are generally contentious matters with animosity between the two parties. Working with an attorney with experience ranging from reasonable negotiations to contested litigation can make settling matters of child custody, parenting time, child support, and alimony easier and less stressful on your kids.
