Welcome to Child Centered Solutions

Child Centered Solutions (CCS) gives a voice to children in divorce
and custody cases. 

We are appointed by the court to represent children so that although they never need to step inside a courtroom, their voices are still heard. 

CCS helps protect our child clients from the trauma of the custody process.  We stand up for their needs and ensure that their best interests remain at the forefront of everyone’s mind during and after the court case.  And we help families put a stop to the destructive cycle of family conflict. 

The services of our attorneys are free to our child clients, their families and the courts. Our legal services are currently available in Multnomah County. Our goal is to provide support to children in need throughout the State of Oregon.
