Don’t Let the Pandemic Take Away Your Right to Work

And How We Can Help

At Cronin Law Firm, our team is dedicated to helping parents create post-divorce co-parenting plans that allow both parents to care for their children and pursue their professional goals. If you believe your co-parenting plan needs to be reevaluated or updated to better respond to COVID-19, future pandemics, or our new reality, please contact our team today. We can help you ensure that the sacrifices you make for your children, do not limit your opportunities in the workforce.
