There is perhaps no more high-stakes dispute than a dispute over the custody of a child. When custody is an issue in the context of a divorce, the dispute can often be emotionally-charged before a lawyer ever gets involved. Too often, the lawyer brings his or her gas can to the fire, and the only result is permanently broken relationships and really high legal bills. If you are looking for a divorce attorney who will do everything possible to leave your former spouse penniless and broken, the Law Office of John McGlothlin, PC is likely not a good fit for you. John’s approach to custody disputes in divorce is to temper the emotion of both sides to get the result which best serves the children involved. There are certainly times to fight, such as when the other side is unreasonable or when the other parent poses a danger to the children. At such times, John will be as aggressive an advocate as possible. But the best results are usually achieved in less confrontational periods.

Adoption is a special field of practice near and dear to John’s heart. John was adopted when he was a baby and he and his wife adopted their youngest daughter from Ethiopia in 2011. There are a host of legal issues surrounding adoption, and John focuses on each of these issues and works to move these cases as expeditiously as possible with reasonable fees.

Other areas of custody disputes involve grandparents, modifications of prior orders, or child support, each of which are also handled by the Law Office of John McGlothlin, PC.
