Child custody is one of the most difficult aspects of divorce and family law. At Sternberg, Naccari, & White we prioritize the well-being of your children as much as you do. Our goal in every child custody case is to advocate zealously for your wishes and for the best interest of your children. We have experience dealing with difficult custody issues such as special needs children, relocation situations, allegations of neglect or abuse, and more. We will collaborate with you to find creative solutions that result in the best possible outcome for you and your children.

We often represent clients who wish to make modifications to an existing child custody or child support agreement. We understand how life can change and are well equipped to guide you through negotiations and, when needed, litigation to arrange a better situation for your family. Whether you wish to revisit your parenting schedule, plan for remarriage, or have child support issues, we have the experience to support you and your child’s best interests through this complex process.

Offering one of the few Family and Child Custody Mediation services in the Greater New Orleans area, our certified mediator will help both parties feel supported and heard as a neutral party in negotiations. Mediation can be used as a creative tool to find the right solution to your divorce or child custody matters.

Many clients going through divorce come to us with more questions than answers. It can be a trying and emotional process. At Sternberg, Naccari, and White we aim to make that process as smooth as possible. Our family law attorneys have years of experience navigating through complicated matters and obtaining amicable and expeditious resolutions for our clients. We offer collaborative divorce and mediation for a more holistic approach to the divorce process.

Collaborative divorce is an alternative method of guiding our clients through conflicts that inevitably arise during the divorce process. Both parties must agree to this approach and to not pursue litigation during the process. Cooperative techniques are then utilized to foster amicable resolutions for all matters including child custody, child support, and division of property.

At Sternberg, Naccari, and White we recognize the nuanced issues that face LGBTQIA families. Our family law attorneys have extensive experience dealing with all areas of supporting our LGBTQIA community from second parent adoption to gender marker changes and beyond. We value inclusion and acceptance and you will feel it the moment you walk in our door. Call to start a conversation about any of our LGBTQIA Focus Areas.
