Understanding Custody Support Matters

Custody arrangements affect your child’s daily life, their stability, and their future. A clear, legally enforceable plan ensures that children are cared for, parents know their rights, and conflict is minimized.

As a queer-owned Asheville law firm, Lavender Root Legal understands that families come in many forms. We ensure that all parents and caregivers are recognized and respected in the legal process.
