As difficult as break-ups and divorces are for the adults involved, these events can be even more devastating for the children caught in the middle. These children deserve a thoughtful parenting plan focused on their best interests.

Oftentimes parents have very different ideas about what is in the best interest of their child.  Maia Brodie has decades of experience helping parents sort through the physical, social, and emotional needs of their children.  Maia provides clients with guidance and support so they can develop mindful, child-centered parenting and custody plans.

Maia strives to understand each client’s unique family dynamics.  Using a balanced approach, she offers guidance and education so parents can make informed decisions regarding custody and co-parenting.  When custody plans meet resistance, Maia employs creativity and advocacy to protect her clients’ rights and protect the parent-child relationship.

Her strengths include:

• Explaining the meaning and significance of physical custody, legal custody, and other legal concepts.
• Applying extensive knowledge of the relevant law — and how judges apply it— to help each client develop a realistic, effective strategy for negotiation or litigation.
• Addressing key considerations such as parents’ work and travel schedules and children’s special needs or unique pursuits by creating workable parenting plans that are specific and detailed.
• Addressing a parent’s mental health, fitness to parent, or other serious concerns.
• Advising clients on the roles of counselors, therapists, court mediators, guardians ad litem, and other professionals who may be important in a highly contested custody proceeding.

Your story is unique. Your case matters to us.

Maia and her team will take the time to understand your individual circumstances, needs, and worries.  

You will receive honest, clear guidance designed to help you move on with your life.
