MARTINEZ, GA – December 11, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

Ferrell Electric marks 33 years of operation since its founding in 1992, continuing to provide licensed electrical services to residential, commercial, and industrial clients across the Central Savannah River Area. The company, known for its focus on safety, integrity, and quality craftsmanship, has built a reputation through consistent delivery of installations, repairs, and upgrades that meet National Electrical Code standards. This milestone underscores Ferrell Electric’s role in supporting local businesses and homeowners with dependable electrical solutions.

Established as a family-owned business, Ferrell Electric began with a commitment to honest and reliable work in the Augusta region. Over the decades, the company has expanded its scope to include partnerships with builders on large-scale commercial projects, entire residential developments, and custom homes. In addition to handling everyday electrical issues for homeowners, Ferrell Electric addresses complex needs for commercial clients, ensuring operations run smoothly without interruptions. As a commercial electrician in Martinez, GA, the company offers expertise in areas such as lighting design and installation, including ceiling lights, chandeliers, pendant lighting, under-cabinet and accent options, as well as energy-efficient alternatives that align with modern efficiency standards.

The company’s growth has been driven by word-of-mouth referrals and repeat customers, reflecting its emphasis on professional service. Ferrell Electric maintains a team of skilled electricians who undergo safety training and adhere to strict standards, including being drug-free and fully qualified. This approach has enabled the company to handle a wide range of projects, from addressing frequent breaker trips and flickering outlets to upgrading outdated systems that contribute to higher energy consumption. In older structures, Ferrell Electric performs panel upgrades to enhance safety and capacity, reducing risks associated with overloaded circuits.

Ferrell Electric also specializes in integrating smart home and automation systems, which extend to commercial applications. These include smart switches, lighting controls, thermostats, and security systems that improve operational efficiency.

The company ensures all work complies with Georgia and South Carolina regulations, obtaining necessary electrical permits to maintain code adherence. With a one-year warranty on parts and labor, Ferrell Electric stands behind its services, offering next-day response for urgent issues.

In response to evolving industry demands, Ferrell Electric has incorporated continuous improvement into its practices. This involves staying updated on new technologies and workflows to deliver effective solutions. For instance, the shift toward LED lighting and timers helps clients lower energy bills by replacing inefficient fixtures. The company’s values—integrity in interactions, ownership of responsibilities, leaving sites improved, and upholding high standards—guide every project, whether a minor repair or a major installation.

Adam Dietrich, President of Ferrell Electric, stated, “Over the past 33 years, our team has focused on building lasting relationships through consistent, high-quality electrical work that prioritizes safety and compliance.” This perspective highlights the company’s dedication to treating each job as an opportunity to demonstrate reliability.

Dietrich added, “As electrical needs have advanced with technology, we have adapted our services to include smart systems and energy-efficient upgrades, ensuring clients receive solutions that support their long-term goals.” These adaptations reflect broader trends in the electrical sector, where efficiency and automation play key roles in reducing operational costs.

Beyond core services, Ferrell Electric assists with financing options through partnerships like Greensky, making upgrades accessible for various project scales. The company’s licensed status, with Unrestricted Electrical Contractor License EN213209, allows it to operate across state lines in Georgia and South Carolina. This capability has positioned Ferrell Electric as a resource for diverse clients, from individual homeowners facing burning smells from outlets to commercial entities requiring comprehensive wiring for new constructions.

The milestone comes at a time when electrical safety remains a critical concern, with statistics from industry sources indicating that outdated systems contribute to a significant portion of electrical incidents. Ferrell Electric addresses these risks by promoting proactive upgrades, such as replacing buzzing outlets or installing surge protection. For commercial properties, regular maintenance prevents downtime, which can impact productivity. The company’s approach emphasizes education on these matters, helping clients understand the importance of timely interventions.

Looking ahead, Ferrell Electric plans to continue its tradition of innovation while maintaining the foundational principles that have sustained it for 33 years.

NEENAH, WI – December 11, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

DuraShield Roofing & Contracting has released information detailing the advantages of DaVinci composite roofs as an alternative to traditional cedar shake roofing systems. This comes as homeowners face increasing challenges with maintenance, durability, and insurance related to natural wood materials. The company, an installer of DaVinci® Roofscapes, provides options that address these issues through advanced polymer technology.

Traditional cedar shake roofs offer a rustic appearance valued by many property owners. However, these systems require regular upkeep to prevent problems such as cracking, curling, and moss growth. Exposure to moisture can lead to rot and decay, while heat and sunlight contribute to warping and splitting. In regions with variable weather, storms may cause further damage, including lifts and leaks that compromise the structure. Cedar shakes typically last 20 to 30 years under optimal conditions, but this lifespan shortens with inadequate maintenance or harsh environmental factors.

Fire risk presents another concern with untreated cedar shakes, as the material is flammable. Even with treatments, the potential for hazards remains. Insurance providers often respond to these vulnerabilities by increasing premiums or limiting coverage. In some cases, policies may not renew or offer only partial protection due to perceived risks from fire, storms, and ongoing maintenance needs.

DaVinci composite roofs provide a solution by replicating the look of cedar shakes without the associated drawbacks. Made from engineered polymers, these roofs resist fading, cracking, rotting, and insect infestation. They require no staining, sealing, or individual tile replacements over time. Designed to withstand extreme conditions, DaVinci products hold a Class A fire rating and a Class 4 impact rating for hail resistance. Homeowners can expect a lifespan exceeding 50 years, supported by a limited lifetime material warranty that covers defects and transfers upon property sale.

The shift to DaVinci roof systems reflects a broader trend among property owners seeking long-term reliability. Unlike natural cedar, which may unevenly weather or deteriorate, composite materials maintain consistent color and texture. This eliminates the need for frequent maintenance and reduces overall ownership costs. DuraShield Roofing & Contracting offers DaVinci composite cedar shake roofing in Appleton, WI, as part of its residential services, enabling local homeowners to upgrade their properties with durable alternatives.

“Homeowners increasingly recognize the limitations of traditional materials in demanding climates,” said Anthony Walsh, owner of DuraShield Roofing & Contracting. “DaVinci roofs deliver the aesthetic appeal of cedar without the ongoing care, ensuring structures remain protected against weather elements for decades.”

In addition to fire and impact ratings, DaVinci roofs perform well in heat, freezing temperatures, and high winds. This resilience makes them suitable for areas prone to seasonal variations. The installation process aligns with industry standards, utilizing techniques to maximize performance.

“Selecting the right roofing material involves balancing appearance, longevity, and practicality,” added Anthony Walsh. “Our experience shows that DaVinci composites meet these criteria effectively, providing peace of mind to families and businesses alike.”

DuraShield Roofing & Contracting handles other roofing needs, including asphalt shingles, cedar shakes, metal roof systems, slate, tile, and flat roofs such as EPDM and TPO. The company conducts roof inspections, storm damage assessments, roof repairs, and full roof replacements, with a focus on storm damage assessments. Trained staff use photo and video documentation to assist with insurance processes, ensuring accurate evaluations.

Beyond roofing, the company installs siding, gutter systems, and gutter guards. DuraShield Roofing emphasizes quality workmanship through continuous technician training and partnerships with leading manufacturers. DuraShield Roofing & Contracting is a DaVinci Masterpiece Contractor and is Certified by GAF and Owens Corning.

The company participates in community initiatives, partnering with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, The Salvation Army, The Lamers Foundation, and Volunteer Fox Cities. DuraShield started its own initiative in 2025 called Kicks 4 Kids in partnership with Scheels in Appleton, where they donate sneakers to kids in the community.

Founded in 2003 by Anthony Walsh, DuraShield Roofing & Contracting began as a venture rooted in sales experience gained during college. Walsh, who studied business administration and marketing, identified opportunities to improve service standards in the industry. In 2008, Kim Walsh joined the team, bringing accounting and operations expertise. The company expanded from initial services in Appleton and nearby areas to cover broader regions in Wisconsin. Today, it maintains a commitment to their core values: Dependable, integrity, growth & service. DuraShields’ mission is to provide the most dependable & durable roofing systems while raising industry standards through integrity & service.

LEXINGTON, KY – December 11, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

Swim Pro Service & Supply, a longstanding pool maintenance provider in Central Kentucky, today highlights the essential need for thorough pool closing procedures as winter approaches. This focus comes as temperatures begin to decline, prompting pool owners to safeguard their investments against potential damage from freezing conditions. With nearly five decades of experience, the company stresses that proper winterization plays a vital role in preserving pool integrity and ensuring a smooth reopening in spring.

Pool closing involves several key steps to protect equipment and water quality during colder months. Technicians typically drain water to appropriate levels, add winterizing chemicals to prevent algae growth and corrosion, clean and store removable components, and install secure covers to shield against debris and weather elements. Swim Pro Service & Supply tailors these procedures to each pool’s specific needs, drawing on its team’s extensive knowledge to address common issues such as pipe freezing or liner damage. The company’s approach ensures compliance with industry standards while minimizing risks associated with improper shutdown.

In addition to seasonal closing, Swim Pro Service & Supply provides comprehensive residential pool cleaning services in Lexington, KY, throughout the year. These include regular skimming to remove surface debris, brushing walls and floors to prevent buildup, vacuuming to clear sediment, and precise chemical balancing to maintain optimal water conditions. Water testing and filter inspections form part of routine visits, helping to identify potential problems early. Equipment checks cover pumps, heaters, and other systems, with repairs handled by factory-trained professionals. This holistic service model supports pool owners in maintaining safe, clear water regardless of the season.

The company’s commercial offerings extend similar expertise to businesses and organizations. Services for apartment complexes, hotels, fitness centers, and municipal facilities emphasize health code adherence and operational efficiency. Regular maintenance reduces downtime and ensures consistent water quality for public use. Swim Pro Service & Supply has established partnerships with notable clients, including the University of Kentucky, where it serves as the official pool service provider. This experience informs its residential practices, bringing professional-grade care to individual homeowners.

Patrick Staar, owner of Swim Pro Service & Supply, noted the significance of timely intervention. “As winter sets in, neglecting pool closing can lead to extensive repairs come spring, from cracked pipes to contaminated water,” Staar said. “Our team’s combined experience exceeding 75 years allows us to guide clients through effective winterization, protecting their pools for long-term enjoyment.”

The emphasis on winter preparation aligns with broader industry trends, where preventive maintenance has become increasingly important amid fluctuating weather patterns. Swim Pro Service & Supply incorporates environmentally responsible methods, such as recommending energy-efficient equipment and using eco-friendly chemicals. Proper disposal of materials further demonstrates the company’s commitment to sustainability. These practices not only extend pool lifespan but also contribute to resource conservation in the community.

Beyond seasonal services, the company conducts pool inspections for real estate transactions, offering detailed assessments to inform buyers and sellers. Emergency service calls address unexpected issues, providing prompt resolutions to restore functionality. Swim Pro Service & Supply’s hourly pricing structure allows flexibility, charging only for necessary work without mandatory contracts. This transparent model has fostered strong client relationships, evidenced by a retention rate over 90 percent.

The integration of technology enhances service delivery. GPS tracking optimizes routing for technicians, while digital reporting keeps clients informed about visit details and recommendations. Online estimate requests streamline initial consultations, making it easier for pool owners to access support. These tools complement the personal touch that has defined the company since its inception.

Staar reflected on the company’s enduring presence in the market. “Building on the foundation laid by our founders, we continue to prioritize quality and fairness in every interaction,” Staar said. “This approach has sustained us through decades, earning trust from generations of Central Kentucky families.”

Swim Pro Service & Supply also engages in community activities, sponsoring local events and supporting youth programs. Contributions to charitable organizations underscore its role as a responsible corporate citizen. These efforts reinforce the company’s position as a reliable partner for pool care needs.

Founded in 1976 by Sarah and Jim Ryan, Swim Pro Service & Supply originated from a recognition of the growing demand for specialized pool servicing in the region. Starting with pool construction in 1964, the Ryans expanded into maintenance, establishing a business that has grown through consistent performance and customer satisfaction. Today, the company serves thousands of residential and commercial clients across Lexington and surrounding areas, including Georgetown, Nicholasville, Richmond, and Versailles. Its team, featuring long-tenured members and a general manager with over 40 years of expertise, upholds this legacy through ongoing training and dedication to excellence. Exclusive manufacturer relationships provide access to quality parts and technical support, enabling efficient repairs and upgrades.

DECATUR, GA – December 11, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

Arrowhead Clinic Chiropractor Decatur has expanded its walk-in services to provide immediate care for patients suffering from auto accident injuries, addressing the critical need for accessible treatment in the hours and days following vehicular trauma.

The clinic, which operates Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 7 PM and Saturday from 9 AM to 2 PM, now accommodates walk in chiropractors services specifically designed for accident victims who require urgent musculoskeletal care. This expansion comes as the clinic responds to increasing demand from patients experiencing delayed onset symptoms from auto accidents, including whiplash, spinal misalignment, and soft tissue damage.

“Auto accident injuries often don’t manifest immediately, which creates a dangerous window where patients may not realize they need treatment,” said Dr. Edward Lewis, DC, at Arrowhead Clinic. “By expanding our walk-in availability, we’re ensuring that patients can access specialized care the moment they recognize symptoms, whether that’s hours or days after their accident.”

The Arrowhead Clinic location in Decatur Georgia has developed comprehensive protocols for treating the most common auto accident injuries, including neck and back pain, herniated discs, and muscle strains. The clinic’s approach combines diagnostic imaging, spinal adjustments, and physical therapy to create individualized treatment plans that promote complete recovery without surgery or medication.

Beyond immediate pain relief, the clinic assists patients with insurance documentation and provides referrals to personal injury attorneys when necessary. This comprehensive approach ensures that accident victims receive both the medical care they need and the administrative support required for insurance claims.

The expanded walk-in services complement the clinic’s existing same-day appointment system, providing multiple pathways for patients to access top rated accident injury treatment services. The extended weekday hours and Saturday availability accommodate patients who cannot take time off work for standard appointments, recognizing that many accident victims need to maintain their regular schedules while recovering.

The clinic’s treatment protocols include spinal decompression, customized exercise programs, and ongoing rehabilitation designed to address both immediate pain and long-term recovery goals. Each patient receives a thorough evaluation to identify all areas of injury, as auto accidents frequently cause multiple trauma points that require coordinated treatment.

“We’ve seen firsthand how delayed treatment can lead to chronic pain conditions that could have been prevented with immediate intervention,” added Dr. Lewis. “Our expanded walk-in services eliminate the barriers that prevent patients from seeking timely care, whether those barriers are scheduling conflicts, uncertainty about injury severity, or simply not knowing where to turn after an accident.”

Arrowhead Clinic has served the Decatur community for multiple years, maintaining a patient satisfaction rating of 4.9 stars based on over 1,800 reviews. The clinic accepts most major insurance providers and works directly with auto insurance companies to minimize out-of-pocket expenses for accident victims.

LEXINGTON, KY – December 11, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

Summit Scapes Construction, a locally owned hardscape and landscape company serving Central New York, underscores its focus on sustainable practices through its hardscaping installation in Manlius, NY. This emphasis comes as industry trends for 2025 highlight the increasing adoption of permeable pavers to address stormwater management challenges in regions like New York. With over 13 years of experience, the company integrates durable materials that support environmental goals while enhancing outdoor spaces.

Hardscaping involves the installation of non-living elements such as stone patios, walkways, and retaining walls. Summit Scapes Construction specializes in these features, using materials that provide long-term stability and aesthetic appeal. The company’s Unilock-certified technicians ensure that installations meet standards for quality and performance. Unilock products include permeable pavers, which allow water to infiltrate the ground, reducing runoff and supporting local ecosystems. This approach aligns with broader shifts in landscape design, where sustainability plays a central role in project planning.

In 2025, landscape professionals anticipate a rise in eco-friendly elements, including permeable surfaces that mitigate flooding and promote water conservation. Permeable pavers, designed with joints that facilitate water flow, have become particularly relevant in urban and suburban areas facing heavy rainfall or regulatory requirements for green infrastructure. Summit Scapes Construction incorporates these materials in its projects, offering options that comply with such needs without compromising on design flexibility.

The company’s hardscaping services extend to creating functional outdoor living areas, including fire pits and seawalls that protect against erosion. These elements are tailored to the specific topography and climate of Central New York, where annual snowfall exceeds 100 inches in parts of Onondaga County. By focusing on durable stonework, Summit Scapes Construction addresses seasonal challenges, ensuring that installations withstand freeze-thaw cycles common in the region.

“Permeable hardscapes are a smart option in the right situations,” said Jared VanDerVeer, Owner of Summit Scapes Construction. “When a property has drainage issues or specific requirements, we can use permeable systems that manage water more effectively without sacrificing how the space looks or functions.”

Beyond permeability, 2025 trends point to naturalistic designs that blend hardscape with softer landscape features. Summit Scapes Construction complements its stonework with landscaping services, such as tree and shrub care, to create cohesive outdoor environments. This integration supports the growing interest in multifunctional spaces that serve relaxation, entertainment, and ecological purposes. Projects often begin with site preparation, including grading and drainage, to establish a solid foundation for hardscape elements.

The emphasis on sustainability also ties into wellness-oriented designs, where outdoor spaces promote health and connection to nature. In Manlius, NY, where residential and commercial properties seek to maximize usable land, hardscaping provides structured areas that enhance property value through improved functionality. Summit Scapes Construction’s approach involves close collaboration with clients to understand their objectives, resulting in customized designs that balance form and utility.

Additional trends for 2025 include the use of earthy tones and organic shapes in hardscape materials. The company selects pavers and stones that harmonize with natural surroundings, drawing from a palette that reflects regional landscapes. This attention to detail extends to maintenance services, ensuring that hardscapes remain in condition over time.

“At the end of the day, our goal is to build hardscapes that last and don’t create headaches down the road,” added VanDerVeer. “That might mean better drainage, stronger bases, or using products with a lighter footprint, but it always starts with what’s best for the property and the client.”

In addition to hardscaping, Summit Scapes Construction provides comprehensive sitework, including excavation and soil management, to support project execution. These services ensure proper integration of hardscapes with existing terrain, preventing issues like poor drainage that could undermine structural integrity.

The company’s portfolio includes examples of transformed spaces, such as patios that serve as extensions of indoor living areas. These installations demonstrate how hardscaping can create defined zones for activities while incorporating elements like permeable surfaces to handle water efficiently.

As part of its broader offerings, Summit Scapes Construction addresses seasonal needs through snow plowing, which complements its hardscaping focus by maintaining accessibility during winter months. This holistic service model reflects an understanding of Central New York’s variable weather patterns.

Looking ahead, the alignment with 2025 trends positions Summit Scapes Construction to continue supporting community needs for resilient outdoor designs. The company’s commitment to quality craftsmanship remains central to its operations.

Summit Scapes Construction is a locally owned and operated company that has served Manlius and Central New York for over 13 years. It specializes in hardscape and landscape solutions, emphasizing personalized service and durable results. The firm collaborates with clients to develop outdoor spaces that combine practicality with aesthetic appeal.

The practice states that the decision to make additional consultation appointments available follows a steady increase in enquiries from people seeking ways to brighten their teeth ahead of personal events, professional milestones, or simply as part of a broader interest in improving their smile.

According to the dental team, patients often express curiosity about what teeth whitening involves, how the results are achieved, and what can be expected during the process. The newly announced consultations are designed to give individuals time to explore these questions in a calm setting while receiving information tailored to their own dental needs. Readers interested in further information about teeth whitening options can visit: https://smile4u.co.uk/dentist-pimlico-london-victoria/cosmetic-dentistry/teeth-whitening/.

Teeth whitening treatments offered at the practice are intended to lighten the shade of natural teeth by addressing discolouration caused by factors such as tea, coffee, red wine, certain foods, or the natural ageing process. McKennell Dental Practice explains that many people considering whitening have felt self-conscious about uneven or darker tones in their teeth, which can develop gradually over time. The practice notes that whitening treatments are typically chosen because they provide a noticeable change without the need for more extensive dental work.

Consultations generally give patients an opportunity to find out whether they are suitable for teeth whitening, as suitability can vary depending on the condition of the teeth and gums. During the appointment, the clinician may carry out an examination, talk through the steps involved, and explain how results tend to develop over the days following the treatment. This discussion also covers what individuals can do afterwards to help maintain brightness for as long as possible. McKennell Dental Practice highlights that these conversations are important in helping patients feel confident about what whitening can realistically achieve and how it might fit into their wider dental care.

Alongside teeth whitening, the practice offers a wider range of cosmetic dental treatments for individuals looking to make changes to the appearance of their teeth. Readers who wish to learn about these options can visit: https://smile4u.co.uk/dentist-pimlico-london-victoria/cosmetic-dentistry/.

These cosmetic treatments include approaches that can help with concerns such as chipped teeth, crooked teeth, or uneven spacing. Depending on the needs of the patient, options may include composite bonding, veneers, or treatments designed to gently adjust alignment. McKennell Dental Practice explains that these treatments are often chosen by those who want to enhance the appearance of their smile in a way that feels natural and proportionate.

During consultations relating to cosmetic procedures, patients are usually encouraged to discuss what they hope to change and what outcomes feel realistic to them. The practice notes that this helps the dental team provide clear guidance based on the individual’s oral health, the condition of the teeth, and the anticipated treatment timeline. By offering a range of options, the practice aims to support patients in selecting approaches that reflect their preferences, whether they are considering a subtle change or something more comprehensive.

General information about the practice location and route planning instructions for McKennell Dental Practice can be found at: https://smile4u.co.uk/dentist-pimlico-london-victoria/.

The practice is located within the Pimlico and Victoria area of London and has built its reputation around providing a steady and reliable approach to everyday dental care. McKennell Dental Practice notes that its team encourages open discussion during all patient appointments, recognising that many individuals appreciate the opportunity to ask questions before deciding on any treatment. Consultations for teeth whitening, as with other treatments, typically begin with a review of the patient’s dental history, followed by an examination to understand the current condition of the teeth and gums. This allows the clinician to offer personalised recommendations and outline what the patient can expect if they choose to proceed. The practice explains that such consultations are structured to help patients make informed decisions without feeling rushed, ensuring that each individual has the information they need about timelines, potential outcomes, and aftercare considerations.

With the announcement of expanded availability for new private patient consultations, McKennell Dental Practice confirms that those interested in teeth whitening now have additional opportunities to arrange an appointment. The team notes that these consultations are intended to provide clarity for anyone exploring ways to enhance the brightness of their smile, whether they are new to the practice or returning patients seeking further guidance.

Children First Family Law today announced the publication of a new educational resource offering an in-depth look at the most common factors that influence custody decisions in Colorado family court. The article, “The Three Reasons People Lose Custody of Their Children in Colorado Family Court” provides detailed analysis from Divorce Attorney Krista Nash, founder of Children First Family Law, whose experience as an attorney, mediator, parenting coordinator, and child advocate informs the guidance shared with readers. The publication serves as a timely tool for reporters covering family law issues and for individuals seeking reliable insight into how courts evaluate parenting disputes.

The release highlights a challenge frequently seen in custody cases: many families approach court with misunderstandings about developmental needs, communication responsibilities, and the level of clarity required in a parenting plan. Nash explains that Colorado courts consistently prioritize the best interests of the child, and the resource outlines how structure, predictability, and developmentally appropriate planning shape the court’s decisions. The content reflects decades of work with parents, children, and legal professionals, translated into practical information that helps clarify how custody outcomes are reached.

The article identifies failure to meet a child’s developmental needs as a significant source of concern in contested cases. Nash describes how infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and teenagers require distinct parenting approaches, and how plans that do not account for sleep patterns, schedules, household differences, and age-appropriate autonomy may draw court scrutiny. The resource provides examples of how poorly aligned routines, limited stability, and extended separations for very young children can affect emotional wellbeing and, ultimately, a judge’s evaluation of a proposed schedule.

The publication also examines the impact of high-conflict co-parenting on custody outcomes. Nash notes that strained communication, inconsistent messaging, and unmanaged conflict are among the leading contributors to unfavorable results in family court. She explains how parallel parenting may serve as a temporary structure in high-conflict situations, but emphasizes that cooperative communication remains the standard expected by courts. The analysis includes discussion of co-parenting applications such as Our Family Wizard and Talking Parents, which create timestamped communication records that help clarify expectations and reduce disputes, providing courts with objective documentation.

A third area addressed in the resource involves unclear or impractical parenting plans. Nash outlines how courts evaluate decision-making responsibilities involving education, health, and extracurricular activities, and how transitions, holidays, relocations, and travel require clear structure to minimize conflict. She also highlights the value of step-up plans that adjust as children grow and review clauses that allow parents to revise their plans without litigation, both of which help reduce long-term disputes.

The article additionally offers guidance on how to support a child’s voice in the process without placing undue pressure on the child. Nash explains that children benefit from having space to express experiences regarding transitions and relationships, while adults maintain responsibility for decision-making. These practices reinforce to courts that parents are working to minimize the emotional burden placed on children during family transitions.

Through this release, Children First Family Law aims to provide clarity for families navigating one of the most complex areas of the legal system. Nash’s analysis offers reporters a credible source of information about evolving custody patterns, while also offering prospective clients an evidence-based explanation of how courts make decisions. The publication underscores that child-focused planning, consistent communication, and developmental understanding remain foundational to stable custody outcomes.

Reporters covering family law trends or seeking expert commentary may find Nash’s perspective particularly valuable for analyzing patterns seen in custody litigation. The full article is available through Children First Family Law, along with additional resources for those interested in learning more about custody processes in Colorado.
