Considering the Best Interests of the Child

The primary concern in any child custody case is the best interests of the child. At The Norton Law Group, our main focus is making sure the child's needs are met.  This includes ensuring the child’s physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. Factors such as the child’s age, health, emotional ties to each parent, and the ability of each parent to provide a stable environment are all taken into account. 


In cases involving domestic violence or physical or psychological harm to the child, their safety is paramount. We advocate for protective measures and custody arrangements that prioritise the child’s security and well-being, including supervised visitation if necessary.
