Child Custody and Support

If you and the other parent of your child have never married, you probably need a parenting plan in order to protect your right to custody/visitation with your child. You may also need an order of child support in order to obtain financial assistance from the other parent. The Lustick Law Firm can assist unmarried parents with:
• Paternity cases
• Custody and visitation/parenting plans
• Obtaining child support

If you believe that you are the biological father of a child and are being denied visitation, you have options to ensure your right to see the child. If you are a parent with concerns about the safety of your children when they are with the other parent, you may also need a parenting plan to address these issues.

Under Washington law, a non-parent can obtain custody of a child in limited circumstances. This is called “third party custody.” Oftentimes this will be an aunt/uncle or grandparent that steps in to care for a child. We can help you obtain third party custody of a child, as well as protect your rights as a parent when a third party is seeking custody.
