Child Custody Mediation & Evaluation
Confidential mediation, child custody evaluation, and child custody recommending counseling play essential roles in resolving custody disputes. Mediation involves confidential negotiations, while evaluation focuses on assessing the child’s best interests. CCRC combines both mediation and evaluation to aid decision-making. These processes are vital for promoting the child’s well-being and providing guidance for court custody determinations.
Comprehensive Parenting Plan Support for Attorneys and Clients
Custody disputes are inherently complex and emotionally charged, making it challenging for parents to reach agreements. The most effective parenting plan evaluations not only provide the court with guidance on the child’s best interests but also support parents in finding resolution and reducing the need for further litigation.
Counseling & Therapy
I offer counseling and therapy services for relationship difficulties, stress management, anxiety, depression, and trauma. With empathy and evidence-based approaches, I help clients navigate challenges, develop coping strategies, and foster emotional well-being. Together, we work towards personal growth and positive change.

What People Are Saying
“Mr. Love was the best decision our family has ever made. Jack was very much on the child’s side the entire time. He fights for what’s best for the child which these days seems to not matter to some parents. It is a very expensive process but very much worth every penny we spent. It is a stressful process to begin with but even worse when you have a horrible other side/parent to go through the process with.
Jack is very neutral. He allows the child to not be robbed of their childhood. We need more people like this man. Continue to fight for the children.”

“Jack Love, LMFT, served as a court-appointed mediator in my high-conflict divorce and created a joint parenting plan where others had failed. What I love about Love (and I have to say, his surname influenced my choice to hire this gentleman) is his amazing ability to make his clients feel heard, and to get folks off their position and agree to compromise. I cannot recommend him highly enough.”
