We will passionately advocate for child support agreements that ensure your children can grow up in a comfortable situation.

You can hire Lauren Taylor Law for child custody services to reach an agreement and uphold its terms. We can help you understand important rights and restrictions, such as those that dictate domestic and out-of-state moves.

Child Abuse and Neglect
Charges of child abuse and neglect can have a profound impact on families and can result in children being removed from the home or a parent losing their parental rights. If you’ve been charged with child abuse or neglect, we will advocate for your right to be involved in your children’s lives by defending against false accusations, dismissing unsubstantiated claims and finding a solution that is in your family’s best interest. We conduct thorough investigations and use our understanding of Charleston child abuse and neglect law to identify and advocate for the most favorable ruling.
