Representing Married and Unmarried Couples in Child Custody Cases
In a divorce, both parents are presumed to be legal custodians of the children. Under Ohio law, an unwed mother is the sole legal custodian until the father asserts his rights and establishes paternity. We can guide parents in all types of situations through this difficult process.
With the significant difference in how the law is applied from county to county, you need the type of experience and depth of legal knowledge we provide at the Law Offices of Stephen E.S. Daray.
Focused on the Best Interests of the Children
Regardless of the relationship, child custody is not about mom and dad, married or not. Child custody is about the best interests of the children. Specific counties handle child custody cases differently. You need to know what to expect. In 2007, attorney Stephen E.S. Daray, the founder of our firm, handled divorce cases in nine separate counties. Depending on where you live will affect how your case is handled.
Mr. Daray can prepare you for what to expect in your child custody case. He can provide critical guidance on how to navigate through a world of "he said" and "she said" to get the court to see the truth.

Mediation is preferred in child custody cases, particularly through the collaborative law process. But if litigation is the only option, we will aggressively defend you in court.
