One of the most heart-wrenching parts of any separation or divorce is determining who gets custody of the children. It’s not just about legal rights—it’s about your child’s future, their emotional stability, and ensuring a loving environment.

The Challenges of Child Custody Cases

Custody disputes can be messy, and courts prioritize the best interests of the child over anything else. This means:
✓ The parent’s ability to provide a stable environment
✓ Each parent’s emotional and financial involvement
✓ The child’s preferences (in some cases)
✓ Any history of domestic violence or neglect

If your ex is trying to manipulate the system or paint you in a negative light, having a Family Law Attorney ensures that your side of the story is presented clearly and persuasively.

How We Can Help

At Key Family Law, we:
✓ Gather and present evidence that strengthens your custody case
✓ Advocate for fair parenting plans that prioritize your child’s well-being
✓ Protect your parental rights from unfair legal tactics

If you’re facing a custody battle, don’t go at it alone. The right legal strategy makes all the difference.

Not every couple rushes to divorce court immediately. In many cases, a Separation Agreement is the first step—allowing couples to legally define:

✓ Who stays in the house
✓ How finances will be divided
✓ Child custody and visitation rights
✓ Debt responsibility

Why a DIY Agreement Can Backfire

Some couples think they can draft a Separation Agreement on their own, but one mistake can cost you thousands down the line. Courts won’t always uphold a poorly written agreement, and verbal promises mean nothing legally.

A properly structured agreement by a Family Law Attorney ensures:
✓ Your assets and rights are protected
✓ The terms are clear and enforceable
✓ Future disputes are minimized

At Key Family Law, we draft airtight agreements that protect your future—whether you plan to reconcile or move toward divorce.

Thinking of moving in with your partner? Many couples assume that living together automatically gives them legal rights—but that’s far from the truth.

Why Cohabitation Agreements Matter

Without a Cohabitation Agreement, you could be left:
✗ With no financial support if you separate
✗ Without a legal claim to shared property
✗ At risk of legal battles over assets and debt

A well-drafted Cohabitation Agreement protects both partners by outlining:
✓ How assets and debts will be shared
✓ What happens if the relationship ends
✓ Financial responsibilities during the relationship

At Key Family Law, we make sure you and your partner enter your living arrangement with legal clarity and security.

Dealing with a narcissistic ex in court is like playing chess with someone who changes the rules whenever they feel like it. They manipulate, lie, and try to turn the system against you.

Signs of a Narcissistic Opponent in Family Law Cases

Gaslighting – Making you doubt your own experiences

Weaponizing the children – Using them to control or punish you

Financial abuse – Withholding money to make you struggle

Dragging out legal battles – Hoping you’ll give up out of exhaustion

How to Prepare Your Case for Maximum Protection

The best defense against a narcissistic or abusive ex is a well-prepared, evidence-backed case.

✓ Keep detailed records – Texts, emails, and financial records
✓ Get witnesses – Friends, family, or therapists who can testify
✓ Protect your mental health – Therapy and support groups can be a game-changer

At Key Family Law, we build ironclad cases that expose manipulative tactics and ensure you get the protection you deserve.
