Child custody disputes may be more complicated than simply a push and pull involving sentimental attachment of parents to children. A mother may be mentally ill with bipolar disease or depression. A father may have a history of alcohol or drug abuse, or abandonment of the children prior to the custody dispute. Despite today's increasingly gender-neutral social climate, mothers are still far more likely than fathers to be awarded custody.

When a child custody dispute remains unresolved despite mediation or collaborative law meetings between both parents and both of their lawyers, a court may appoint a guardian ad litem to serve as child representative. Van A. Schwab has experience representing mothers, fathers, and children in child custody cases.
