Custody is where legal strategy and human stakes meet. Mary C. Neff brings both a J.D. and a Master's in Family Sciences to every custody case — giving her a depth of understanding that most attorneys simply don't have.
From knowing the legal standard to getting an enforceable order — every step done right.
Best interests of the child — courts apply this standard in both Missouri and Illinois. Mary knows exactly what it takes to meet it.
Schedules, decision-making, holidays, communication — every detail documented and defended.
Mary pursues agreement first. When the other side won't cooperate, she litigates without hesitation.
Your parenting plan becomes a court order — structured for your family's real life.
A Master's in Family Sciences is rare among family attorneys. It means Mary understands what custody arrangements actually do to children — not just what the law requires.
