Custody & Family Law
At Gould Law Firm, we believe that people file for divorce or take on difficult custody issues in order to improve life for their families. During our years of providing divorce and custody litigation services, we have never seen a family benefit when the process is overtaken by anger or pride.
Our job is to help our clients respond effectively to help them make the most out of their circumstances. We do not over-react in uncomfortable scenarios. Even amicable or uncontested family law matters may be difficult for the parties involved, and especially for children. We do everything we can to foster and create healthy family environments. We strive to reach fair and reasonable settlements outside of court, while aggressively protecting your rights and interests throughout the case. Gould Law Firm is dedicated to conflict resolution, either through negotiations or litigation.
Mediation
We highly recommend the process of mediation to save emotional energy and expense. However, mediation is not always successful. In the rare event a trial becomes necessary, we will fight to protect the best interests and rights of our clients.

Modifications
Over Time
Judges understand that lives change after divorce judgments. Incomes increase or decrease. New relationships are formed. New job opportunities arise, maybe in different cities. Children grow up. If individuals need to modify their judgments, we advise they don’t try to do it on their own. The only legal way to protect oneself is to have the correct amendments drafted and processed through the courts.
Let Gould Law Firm handle the emotional and complex issues related to judgment modifications for custody, parenting time, child support, and/or spousal support. We ensure the modifications are acceptable to the courts and completed correctly.
