Paule, Camazine & Blumenthal, P.C.

Contested child custody issues are normally complex, but even more so if one parent suffers from a mental illness or has an addiction to alcohol, drugs or sex. A custody court will always rule in favor of what it thinks is the best interests of the children, but it may not understand all of the unique circumstances involved. If you're worried about losing custody of your child due to a mental illness, or worried about giving custody to a former spouse with a mental illness or addiction, you should contact a highly skilled family law attorney.
