The Value of Child-Centered Litigation in Our Matrimonial and Family Courts
A small but vocal faction of the matrimonial bar is sounding a call to arms against the progress that has been made in the past 15 years to ensure that children have a voice in the custody and visitation disputes that profoundly impact their lives. This is an issue of great concern at Lawyers For Children (LFC), where we see every day the constructive impact that the child's perspective has in these proceedings, and the extent to which experienced, well-trained attorneys for children can achieve better outcomes for children and their families in contested custody proceedings.
LFC's attorneys represent approximately 3,000 children in over 6,000 proceedings each year. Hundreds of those proceedings involve complex, high-conflict custody and visitation disputes. Over nearly 30 years, we have gained a clear understanding of the critical role the attorney for the child can play in presenting the child's position without the filter of the parent's needs or wishes.'
