Often the most emotionally difficult issues in a divorce are custody and parent time issues. While many parties are able to agree upon a custody and parent time arrangement and effectively co-parent their children, other cases cannot be resolved so easily and may require custody evaluation litigation to resolve these issues. We have handled all types of custody and parent time disputes, including, but not limited to issues such as parental alienation, denial of parent time, physical and sexual abuse, child neglect, educational difficulties, and children with physical, emotional or psychological special needs.
We understand that the primary focus of divorcing parents is often the well-being of children. When working with our clients in Wasatch front, our child custody attorneys handle all litigation involving children in a manner that ensures that children’s best interests are protected.

child support issues can become more complex where a parent is self-employed, income for a parent is not clear, a parent has little or no earning history or a parent has multiple sources of income. The use of vocational experts or forensic accounts can be helpful in determining a parent’s actual or potential income for purposes of calculating child support.
Divorce is a major life stressor that can dramatically affect you, your children and your finances. Utah courts require mediation and a large percentage of divorce cases are resolved in mediation. The lawyers at Medua & Maxwell Family Law have successfully mediated thousands of cases and can guide you through the mediation process to resolve your case without the emotional and financial cost of litigation. However, if your case involves complex financial issues or high conflict custody disputes, we can provide highly skilled litigation and trial representation and zealously represent your interests in Court.
