Our attorneys have the skills, experience and dedication needed to help families, individuals & businesses make smart, informed legal decisions in Alabama.

Serving The Best Interests Of Children And Families In Custody Matters

When parents decide to divorce or separate, an important decision must be made concerning how the child or children will spend time with their parents. While some parents are able to come to an agreement on their own, others may require court intervention in order to resolve custody disputes. When this happens, parents want to make sure they have a strong advocate in their corner who can ensure that their child custody agreement is in everyone’s — especially the child’s — best interests.

At the Merrell Law Firm, LLC, our focus on the child’s best interests in child custody matters as well as our extensive family law experience puts our clients in the best position possible when it comes to resolving child custody matters in Alabama. We have a team of experienced lawyers who work together to build strong attorney-client relationships that ensure that resolutions are tailored to meet our clients’ needs, not someone else’s situation.
