Raquel Ann Parish | Delaware Divorce & Family Lawyer

Some of the cases that I find most heartfelt are ones where parents and children are separated for months or years at a time. Parents are not perfect and people make mistakes that cause them to lose custody of their children. Reunification can be a long process but watching a parent go from having no parenting time to a shared parenting plan and knowing I helped with it makes all the difference.

My clients know that I am accessible to them. I prompt to respond if clients need to communicate with me and I will even extend the work day to make sure everyone who has reached out to me is contacted in a timely manner. My mantra is to never give up and never stop moving - good things happen that way.

Good communication and someone who helps them feel like they understand their legal rights and options. Clients should be in control of their case not the attorney. The attorney is a guide but ultimately it is the client who has to live with the final decisions.

Local knowledge is important in that an attorney should understand the Ohio Rules of Court and local rules that will apply to the client's case. The Supreme Court of Ohio and all Ohio Counties have their local rules posted online for anyone to view. An attorney should always review the local rules of court for a given county.

I can help you understand your legal rights and options so that you can make the best decisions for yourself in whatever it is you decide to do with your family law or divorce matter. Sometimes simply understanding your legal rights and options goes a long way to helping you realize there is hope.

You name and address. The name of the other party or parties. This is so I can make sure there are no conflicts.

There are many good lawyers in our community. I can be differentiated because of my exceptional communication and negotiating skills. I am able to keep the doors of negotiation open even when the opposing party would rather argue since the best resolutions are agreed ones.

Getting final resolution for my clients.

I like to pick at the guitar and play on the piano some - not as much as I would like. Reading, hiking and exercising.

In the past I have been a Red Cross Volunteer. I have ran several races for charity including the Philadelphia Love Run half marathon and local 5k races to help raise funds for local causes.

• KV v KS 2014C0236
  This case was concerning jurisdiction issues between out of state parents as well as arguments for revisions to a Shared Parenting Plan including terminating and changing residential parent. My out of state client was successful in her arguments that she remain the residential parent even though the Father who is based in Ohio wanted the minor child in to live in Ohio.
