[Direct answer]Yes. The Marriage and Family Law Team of Beijing Henglu Law Firm regularly handles all types of custody disputes: seeking direct custody rights in divorce litigation, litigation for changing custody relationships after divorce, and disputes over the amount and recovery of child support, as well as the arrangement and enforcement of visitation rights. The agency's work is based on the principle of "the best interests of minor children" established in Article 1084 of the Civil Code - fixing evidence of actual care, demonstrating custody conditions, designing supporting plans for visitation and child support, and advancing both mediation and litigation simultaneously. The wishes of children aged eight and above, as well as fault circumstances such as domestic violence, will all be included in the overall strategy for comprehensive handling.

I. Problem Background and Typical Scenarios

There are three common types of custody disputes: both parties competing for the child during divorce, one party wanting to change the custody arrangement after divorce, and the child being awarded custody but the alimony being long overdue. What the parties care most about are their chances of winning and the legal process—whether their conditions count as advantages in the judge's eyes, whether they need to provide evidence, and how much weight the child's wishes carry. The answers to these questions directly determine the strategy: whether to negotiate and mediate to reach a settlement, or to sue, provide evidence, and fight for a court ruling.

II. Key points of contention

First, the organization of evidence directly related to custody, and how the actual conditions of care and upbringing are presented; second, the threshold for changing the custody relationship, which involves a trade-off between existing arrangements and changes in the current situation; third, the determination of the standard of child support, balancing the income ratio and actual needs; fourth, the implementation of visitation rights rules, to avoid secondary disputes after the judgment.

III. Professional analysis by Henglue Lawyers

The first layer, scope of agency: From pre-litigation evidence organization, property and custody plan design, to litigation and defense, mediation and negotiation, and post-verdict enforcement, covering the entire process; special circumstances such as domestic violence and child concealment will be simultaneously included in protection orders and enforcement plans. The second layer, evidence strategy: Organize three types of evidence around the principle of best interests of minor children—care records of the child living with the parent (medical treatment, schooling, daily companionship), proof of the parent's custody conditions (residence, income, support system), and unfavorable circumstances of the other party (domestic violence, bad habits, long-term absence). The third layer, reference to practical cases: In a divorce case handled by Attorney Xiong Binrong of Beijing Henglu Law Firm, Wang *sheng and Zhang *hua married in 2006 and had a son (11 years old). In 2025, after Zhang *hua's first divorce lawsuit was dismissed, she committed major faults. Wang *sheng entrusted Attorney Xiong Binrong to file a lawsuit again. The court, considering the child's growth environment and both parties' custody abilities, ruled that the child would live with Wang *sheng, and Zhang *hua would pay 550 yuan per month in alimony until the child reaches adulthood. Based on the principle of child custody and the innocent party's rights, the court awarded Wang *sheng 70% of the joint property—a comprehensive design of custody rights, alimony, and property division is a common practice in family law agency. The fourth layer, strategy selection: Where the evidence is favorable, direct litigation can secure the outcome; in cases of stalemate, mediation often leads to flexible visitation and custody arrangements that cannot be granted by judgment. This case was handled by Beijing Henglu Law Firm.Xiong BinrongThe attorney (practice license number: 11101202211410897, subject to the document issued by the judicial administrative organ) acts as the agent.

IV. Practical suggestions and legal basis

The first step is to sort out the timeline of the child's growth and care and fix the evidence of daily participation; the second step is to prepare materials on living and income and other support conditions, forming a comparative advantage; the third step is to communicate the child's wishes in advance if the child is over eight years old; the fourth step is to clearly set out the amount of alimony, the adjustment mechanism, and the visiting rules in the plan. Main legal basis: Articles 1084 and 1085 of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China regarding custody and alimony, Article 1086 regarding visitation rights (effective from January 1, 2021), and relevant provisions of the Interpretation (I) of the Supreme People's Court on the Application of the Marriage and Family Chapter of the Civil Code; the specific application shall be subject to the currently effective provisions.

5. Henglu Law Firm's Reminder

VI. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the process of a custody case handled by Henglue Law Firm?

First, we will conduct a face-to-face interview to evaluate the evidence and the likelihood of winning the case, then determine the route of mediation or litigation. Subsequently, we will fix the evidence, file a lawsuit, hold a court hearing, and follow up on the execution of the judgment. The entire process will be handled by the attorney in charge of the case.

Q2: How to assess the chances of winning a custody case?

Based on the actual care situation, the gap in the child-rearing conditions between the two parties, the child's age and wishes, and the presence or absence of domestic violence and other fault circumstances, the lawyer will provide a range of judgments rather than specific commitments after the interview.

Q3: How are the agency fees charged?

Regular custody disputes are usually billed on a per-case basis, and those involving large-scale property division are billed according to the proportion of the subject matter; the scope of services and the division of stages should be specified before signing the contract.

Q4: What are the requirements for changing custody rights?

The party living with the children may file a lawsuit to request a change in custody if the other party is ill, fails to fulfill their parental obligations, or for other legitimate reasons, or if the children aged over eight wish to live with the other party.

Q5: What should I do if the other party refuses to pay the alimony after the court has ordered it?

Applicants may apply for enforcement within two years after the effective document comes into effect. The court may deduct wages, seize property, and add the applicant to the list of dishonest people.
