Resolving issues vital to your child’s future
Child custody is one of the most difficult issues a parent faces during divorce. Gordon Edward Welch, Jr. is dedicated to protecting your rights to raise your child in a healthy, thriving environment. Gordon Edward Welch, Jr. represents families in Florida in all aspects of child custody and visitation, including:

Advantages of mediation
Children are best served when parents maintain a cordial relationship. Through the structured process of mediation, couples can often set aside hostility and can agree on key decisions affecting their children. Mediation can be a highly effective tool for parents to preserve their children’s well-being and the stability of their lives during the turbulent process of divorce. Mediation takes some of the stress out of child custody conflicts, and it puts important child-rearing decisions in the hands of the parents rather than the court. Gordon Edward Welch, Jr. very carefully develops mediation strategies that carefully guide the negotiating process toward a healthy resolution.

Supporting litigation
In some cases, litigation is necessary to protect a child’s best interests. When one parent refuses to compromise or expresses hostility toward the other parent, negotiations fail. Sometimes, a parent may even pose a danger to the child’s well-being. In these cases, litigation is the most appropriate forum for establishing parental rights. Gordon Edward Welch, Jr.’s methodical approach to litigation enables you to feel confident that your children are protected and that your parental rights are secure.
