Child Custody

Experienced Legal Advice In Child Custody Issues In Lexington, Kentucky

The prospect of spending less time with the children could be appalling for many worried parents who have decided to get a divorce or a legal separation. When facing hard and emotional decisions regarding your child, the compassionate and skilled advice of a caring lawyer can make a difference when deciding what is best for your family.

In any legal issue involving your family, the children’s best interests are always the top priority for the law and, of course, for you as a parent. The personalized solutions we provide at have your interests and loved ones at heart to guide you through every step and decision.

Helping You Build New Family Dynamics

Throughout our years serving our community in Lexington, we have assisted parents in navigating the custody and visitation system through divorce procedures. We also understand that keeping clear and transparent communication and realistic expectations are essential to protect your future as a new family. Therefore, our priority is to provide you an honest evaluation of your case and your options.

According to Kentucky law, parents have a right to be present in their child’s life and take part in any decision that will impact their life. Therefore, the initial assumption is that joint custody could be in the child’s best interests if a parent or parents have not been abusive or violent toward the other parent or their children.

A judge will determine custody and visitation based on aspects such as the following:

  • The child’s wishes and preferences
  • If there is a primary caregiver (“de facto” guardian)
  • The relationship the child has with parents and siblings
  • The mental health of parents and the child
  • The other party’s willingness to encourage strong bonds of the child with the non-custodial parent

Our experienced attorneys understand that life and need change over time and also offer customized solutions to modify initial custody and visitation agreements. Our services also provide legal guidance to custodial and non-custodial parents who want to relocate. When possible, we will help you reach agreements with the other parent. Otherwise, we are also knowledgeable trial attorneys who will protect your parental rights according to what is possible under the law.

    "I am very appreciative and grateful for what they have done for me."
    Couldn’t be more pleased with Landon Law. I specifically worked with John Landon for two individual cases. Both got resolved without a hassle. John was attentive and very personable. Took time out of his personal life to speak with me multiple times via phone call or email. I can strongly say that by the end of your time with him, you’ll consider him a friend as well as an attorney. Never worked with a more personable and respectful firm. I am very appreciative and grateful for what they have done for me. Will highly recommend them to any of my friends in the future in need of legal help. Thank you John, and thank you Landon Law!

    "I definitely recommend them if you want a powerhouse fighting for you."
    They are the best..their fees are pretty fair and reasonable. Cheaper than any other lawyer I called. I worked with Charles Landon. Every time I had a question, concern or feeling hopeless, my text or phone call was always returned quickly. The outcome of my case was way more than I expected in my favor. He made sure that I never felt alone, that we were in it together. The confidence he had of himself reassured me that I was in good hands. He wasn’t judgemental or arrogant like most other lawyers. Just down to earth, he doesn’t stop fighting for your best interest. I definitely recommend them if you want a powerhouse fighting for you.

    "Landon Law IS the best choice!"
    Soooo lemme just start with how I got charged with wanton endangerment class A felony and Charles Landon got the E N T I R E thing DISMISSED!! Do y’all hear me!!?? DISMISSED!! He is without a doubt the best attorney I have ever had in my life and I’ve had a few sadly /: But with Charles I would highly highly hiiiiiiighly recommend his services. Not only did he get the absolute best outcome for me, it was very impressive how obviously intelligent, professional, and intuitive he was yet super chill and down to earth at the same time. Also, he always kept in touched by updating me with the progress of my cases and never skipped a beat when answering my calls/texts. Sometimes I would even call him when I was super anxious because I was overthinking and nervous and he would gently lay out the facts & our game plan for me again and remind me not to stress to much which helped soOooOo much. He took my feelings into consideration and truly made me feel important and heard. I could literally go on and on about how amazing of an attorney he is. But to make it simple, Landon Law IS the best choice!!
    Forever grateful for him :))

    "Landon Law is one of the few defense attorneys I have seen that truly fight for you."
    I had Charles Landon with a case that had been going on 2 years. He answered every phone call, question and always made sure I was informed and had the best defense possible. When my case started I was facing 20 years my case ended with me getting 5 years probation. Beyond grateful for him. Landon Law is one of the few defense attorneys I have seen that truly fight for you as much as they are able to.
