It Can Be Every Divorced Parent’s Nightmare

Your children either live or have visitation with a parent who is either mentally unstable or has substance abuse problems. You see evidence of domestic or physical abuse, or you become aware that your child’s medical needs are not being attending to when he or she is with the other parent. When your child’s safety and well-being are at stake, you want an experienced and aggressive attorney to help you take the right steps to protect them.

Because we understand how important a strong attorney-client relationship can be, we strive to provide unmatched personal service and attention. We will take the time to listen carefully to the details of your case, so that we can tailor our representation to get the outcome you want. We will carefully explain your rights and options, as well as your likelihood of success, so that you can make the right decisions to protect your family.

Protecting the Safety of Children of Divorce

We will represent either side in cases involving allegations of a divorced parent’s mental health or substance abuse issues that affect his or her children. Attorney Gaertner started his career as a prosecutor and then a criminal defense lawyer, and he knows how to prepare a case for or against protective orders or changes in custody or visitation. We take cases involving all types of allegations that may be injurious to the welfare of minor children, including:

• Domestic violence
• Drug abuse and divorce, including problems with alcohol, prescription drugs or illegal drugs
• Mental health issues
• Failure to provide adequate medical care, such as failure to see that children take proper medication or go to the doctor/hospital when necessary

Our primary focus in these types of cases is the best interests of the children. We will work closely with you to seek solutions that ensure or increase the safety of your children.
