Child Custody For Nonmarried Parents
Child Custody For Unmarried Parents In Wellesley, Massachusetts
Child custody matters are some of the most emotionally charged and highly argued aspects of family law. This is especially the case when the parents of the child or children have never been married. Each parent may be demanding custody of the children, resulting in the courts having to make a decision that is in the best interests of the children.
At the Law Offices of Lisa A. Ruggieri, P.C., we not only help divorcing parents with their child custody issues but unmarried parents as well. There may be a range of complicating factors when two parents have never been married and are trying to establish custody arrangements, such as the paternity of the child. Regardless of the matters we are facing, our firm can guide you through and help you understand your options for seeking the time you deserve with your children.

This is often better for children who can benefit from seeing their parents, even those not in a relationship, work together.
