Protecting the Children

One of the fundamental Family Law concepts rigorously advocated by our lawyers is for the  parties to put the children's needs ahead of the individuals and keep the children both physically and emotionally as safe as possible during the difficult family transitioning process.  We encourage all parents in conflict to work with Kid's First Center. We also encourage all parents to further protect their child by indentification programs such as the Maine Child Identification Program detailed in this pamphlet or visit their website for more information.
