Child Custody Lawyer for Fathers

Andrew Russ represents fathers in child custody, shared parenting and parenting-time matters in Columbus and Central Ohio. The practice serves Franklin, Delaware, Fairfield and Licking counties. Work directly with a solo attorney with 25 years of legal experience.

 

Focus on your children and your circumstances

Every family has a different history, schedule and set of concerns. Andrew reviews the issues you identify, the status of any court case and the orders already in place. The consultation is an opportunity to discuss your priorities and the representation your situation may require.

 

Custody and parenting-time representation

The practice assists with custody disputes, shared-parenting plans, parenting-time schedules and concerns about compliance with existing orders. Matters may arise during a divorce or in a separate case involving unmarried parents. The appropriate next step depends on the facts and procedural setting.

 

Unmarried fathers and existing orders

Discuss questions about parentage, parental rights, current parenting arrangements and support with Andrew. If an order already exists, include its date and the court handling your matter in your inquiry. Requests to change or enforce an order require an individual review; no outcome or particular schedule is guaranteed.

 

Prepare for a scheduled Zoom consultation

Use the website form to share your county, a brief case summary, any upcoming court date and two or three late-afternoon Zoom times. Mention whether there is an existing custody or parenting-time order. Please do not include sensitive documents in the initial inquiry.

 

Direct attorney contact and clear fees

Andrew is frequently in court and replies by email within two business days. All initial consultations are by Zoom only and scheduled ahead of time. The usual initial retainer is $2,500 and varies by case; additional fees and expenses may apply. Scope, fees and terms are explained before you decide whether to retain the firm.
