What to Look for in a Delaware Child Custody Lawyer

Regardless of the person you choose to handle your Delaware child custody matter, there are a few key traits that every quality attorney should have:

  • Experience in family law and child custody: Joe Wahl offers his clients over 20 years of experience in New Castle, Delaware divorce and child custody matters are at the center of his practice.
  • Experience representing mothers, fathers and other family members: It was long thought that mothers were the best caregivers. Though Delaware law has come a long way on this issue, fathers and other family members continue to face significant challenges. Joe is committed to the rights of all parties who have an interest in a relationship with the child after the divorce, including fathers.
  • Putting the children first: Under the law, any Delaware custody agreement must serve the children’s interests first. Joe fully supports this concept and makes the children’s welfare his focus in every case.
  • Open and honest approach: No matter what the situation may be, Joe approaches all issues openly. If there is some issue in your past that could impact your access to the child, he will deal with it head-on. He won’t try to hide from it or deny it. Eventually, everything will come out, and trying to hide it will only hurt you in the end.
  • Experience with paternity cases: Parents who were never married have the same rights as those who were. Once paternity has been established, Joe will do everything in his power to see that you receive the full benefits of your rights as a parent.
  • Father’s Rights: The Delaware Courts have explicitly recognized that recent studies document the importance of children having access and frequent contact with both parents. Unfortunately, in New Castle County, Delaware many fathers either don’t have custody of their children or they have a joint custody arrangement but don’t get to see their child(ren) as frequently as they should. Those fathers in New Castle and Kent Counties Delaware who have visitation rights often are concerned about the lack of time they have with their kids. Fathers are in good hands with Wahl Family Law.
