Parenting Plans, Child Support, Modifications, Contempt, & More
When issuing a parenting plan, Washington State Courts are obligated to determine what is in the best interests of your children. This decision can be based on a wide range of factors, and it can be difficult for parents to understand exactly what the Court needs to make their decision.
Mendoza Law will help you present yourself to the Court with the needed information in a concise and streamlined format so the Court can make the best call for your children.
Parenting needs of your children can change at any given time, and for any number of reasons. If your child’s other parent is not following the parenting plan, this may also be a basis for contempt and/or a modification. If you’re concerned that your current parenting plan is no longer in your child’s best interest, Mendoza Law may be able to help.
Negotiations, Settlement Options, & Trials
Mendoza Law approaches each case with a goal of reaching the best resolution for clients, often best-achieved through working amicably together with the other party.
Trials are extremely expensive and time-consuming for everyone involved. Often, cases can instead be resolved without trials, through settlement negotiations, mediations, arbitration, and similar alternative options.
Mendoza Law works hard negotiating settlements on behalf of clients, but isn’t afraid to take your case to trial if there isn’t a reasonable settlement option you’re comfortable agreeing to.
Mendoza Law will help you decide what the best course of action is for your specific circumstances
