custody lawyer

Child placement advocate

A custody lawyer is an attorney who handles legal matters involving the care and guardianship of children, typically during divorce or separation proceedings.

They represent parents in disputes over physical custody (where children live) and legal custody (who makes decisions about their upbringing): We hired a custody lawyer when my ex refused to follow the visitation schedule.
