Tough Advocacy When Your Kids Need It Most
In the courtroom, Attorney Tasha K. Schaffner is known as "Tiger Tasha" for a reason. When it comes to protecting children and parental rights, we do not scare easily. We are bulldogs when the situation calls for it, but we also know when to use a softer touch. We always prefer to reach an amicable agreement through negotiation or mediation because it often keeps the peace for the children. However, if the other side refuses to be reasonable, we have the grit and courtroom experience to fight for you.
Here is the value our team brings to your custody matter:
Strategic preparation for temporary and final custody hearings.
Detailed drafting of parenting schedules that actually work for your life.
Honest advice on how Kentucky judges typically view "best interest" factors.
A team that tracks every detail so you stay informed at every step.
Composure in high-conflict situations to keep your case on track.
We understand custody cases can become emotionally charged; Schaffner Family Law & Mediation has your back through the stress. You tell us your concerns about safety, stability, or daily routines, and we turn those into a clear legal strategy. Our all-female team brings empathy to the table while standing firm when it counts.
What Courts Consider In Child Custody Decisions
The legal terminology surrounding custody can feel confusing when you are already under stress. Schaffner Family Law & Mediation serves as your guide, breaking down the law so you can make informed decisions. In Kentucky, the court focuses on the "best interests of the child," and we help you present your story in a way that aligns with those standards. Whether we are discussing legal custody or physical parenting time, we prioritize clarity and detail-driven strategy.
We help families navigate various aspects of the custody process, including:
Child-focused planning – Courts look at stability, routines, and the child’s overall well-being. We help you present a parenting plan that reflects consistency and thoughtful decision-making.
Parental involvement – Judges often evaluate each parent’s role in daily care, communication, and long-term support. We help document your involvement and highlight your strengths as a parent.
Communication and cooperation – Courts value parents who can work together when possible. We guide you on communication practices that support your case while protecting boundaries.
Future practicality – Parenting schedules must work in real life. We help create plans that reflect school schedules, work demands, and your child’s developmental needs.
We know that a custody case is often the start of a long-term co-parenting relationship. Because of this, we look for solutions that reduce conflict whenever possible. We lead with integrity, meaning we won't push for a fight just for the sake of fighting. We look for the most effective way to reach a stable, long-term outcome for your family.
