Moms, Dads, Children, Counsel, Guardian Ad Litems, Judges, Case Managers — first, know that the Toby Center is neutral. Our only alliance is with the best interests of the child. We can help all in moving in that direction with more understanding, more clarity.
The challenge for attorneys is to best represent their client, even if the client objects to supervised time sharing that is court ordered. As a GAL, either in a private case or with an agency, we can help advise you of the fundamental family research which may be helpful in your litigation.
"Don't look backwards — life doesn't go that way."
In my experience founding The Toby Center, I have found that children whose parents have legal counsel have the best outcomes when attorneys can focus on what is in the best interest of the child — not necessarily what the client feels is best for themselves.
Please advise your clients that they will do best when they can look to the future. If they have emotional difficulties, have them join a support group! Refer them to therapy! Help them visualize their future, both with their children, and as adults on their unique journey.
Years — court orders for custody may positively affect or negatively impact a family for up to 6 generations. That's 125 years. Let us work together to get this right.
Neutral Third PartyWe do not take sides. Our only alliance is with the best interests of the child — giving your case objective, court-ready documentation.
All Parties WelcomeWe work with Moms, Dads, attorneys, GALs, judges, and case managers — all in equal measure. We can help even when clients object to court-ordered supervised time sharing.
Research-Based PracticeWe advocate research showing that child outcomes are most positive when parents fight less, use mediation, and hire counsel who appreciates what is truly in a child's best interest.
