Giving Parents Determined Protection of Their Rights
Resolving child custody issues is one of the most important tasks of the family courts. The goal of the child custody process is to protect the best interests of children by assigning parental rights and responsibilities between their parents and, in some cases, other parties.
That is why it's important for you to have the child custody law team at Percy Law Group, PC, on your side. We will make sure that your voice in these matters is clearly and decisively heard.

Fighting for You and Your Child
When a child's parents get divorced, the court needs to determine who gets both physical custody (the day-to-day responsibility of caring for the child) and legal custody (the right to participate in important decisions). Child custody is also addressed in paternity cases.
Physical custody and visitation are often referred to as "parenting time," and custody plans and visitation schedules are often referred to as "parenting plans." Our attorneys will fight for you and ensure that your voice is clearly and decisively heard in a wide range of custody issues, including:
- Child custody modifications: When your (or your former spouse's) circumstances change, we will fight for your rights, as it may be in the best interests of the child for one parent to get more or less custody or visitation time.
- Fathers' rights: The child custody process is supposed to be free of any type of gender bias, and our attorneys fight for fathers to achieve equal treatment.
- Interstate custody and visitation: We have extensive experience assisting clients when the child's parents are living in two different states; our advice is invaluable, as such modification requests and parental disputes can be particularly complex.
- Parental relocation: Whether you wish to move with your child or object to the other parent's relocation request, our experienced parental relocation lawyers will fight to get you the result you need.
- Grandparents' rights: In Massachusetts, we will work hard for grandparents' visitation and custody rights, as those rights are addressed by the family courts on a case-by-case basis.
