“Out of state custody & support-I needed to hire a lawyer for custody & support, my ex lives out of state. Stacey told me what to do and what I should expect as a time frame.  Stacy allowed me to do some of the work to save on fees, that was a big help to me and my kids. She responded to my emails with 24 hours or would call. A resolution was reached quickly in 3 visits to the courthouse. Now that it all is over It is a relief , I would hire Stacey again if I needed to.”~Wane

Temporary Custody and Visitation:

Temporary custody and visitation can be ordered by the Court until a permanent determination or agreement can be made.  This allows for an immediate solution to maintain balance in your children’s life while a final outcome is pending.  If you are in need of an immediate solution, a Temporary Custody and Visitation Order may be appropriate for you, call Stacey Bladuf for a free consultation, with over 27 years of experience negotiating and litigating custody and visitation agreements, Stacey will advise you what your next steps should be.

Modifications to Current Orders:

Sometimes, after an Order has been put in place by the Court, circumstances change and a modification to the Order becomes desirable.  Perhaps parents schedules change, or the child(ren) spend different amounts of time with the parents compared to when the Order was put into place.

Violations of Current Orders:

If you are a party to a current Order and feel the other party is not following the Order of the Court, a Violation Petition may be an appropriate avenue to compel the other party to follow the Order.
