Ohio Lawyer Focused on Your Child's Best Interests

If you have questions about adoption, child custody, paternity, or other family law issues, contact experienced attorney Bobbie Corley O'Keefe, today.

Some of the most difficult family law concerns revolve around child custody and visitation, known as "companionship time" and "parenting time" in Ohio. Whether you are faced with these difficult decisions during divorce or are an unmarried parent dealing with paternity and custody, I am prepared to help you advocate for your child's best interests.

As an attorney serving the Columbus, Ohio, law offices of Carlile Patchen & Murphy, LLP, I utilize my more than 15 years of experience as a family law attorney to assist mothers or fathers in securing a child custody agreement that maintains their child's well-being. I take the time necessary to understand each client's situation and carefully explain their legal options.

I stand by your side from our initial appointment through to a resolution of your case. Contact me to discuss how I may be of assistance.

Deciding Upon a Child Custody Agreement

Child custody cases can be settled in a variety of ways. It is often in the best interest of all parties involved to reach an agreement through mediation or negotiation. You and your child's other parent will be tied to one another for years to come. Developing and maintaining the least contentious relationship possible may ease future co-parenting and decision making.

In some cases, going into the courtroom is the only option for reaching a resolution to disputes regarding physical and legal custody. If this is the route we must take, I will thoroughly present your case and aggressively defend your right to spend time with your children and remain involved in their lives.

Beyond representing parents in basic custodial matters, I also handle cases involving:

• Child support disputes
• Paternity
• Move-aways
• Post-decree modification and enforcement

An Advocate on Your Side

I strive to build a solid partnership with each of my clients. Their family law concerns become my concerns as well. We work together toward achieving outcome goals that are appropriate for their family needs.

I focus on keeping my child custody or divorce clients informed as to the status of their case. Wondering about progress only leads to additional worries you don't need. I will personally and promptly return phone calls. Contact me to speak with a knowledgeable lawyer about your concerns.
