When Your Child's Future Is at Stake Aggressive representation in complex divorce and child custody cases

Clarke Logan Young Law Offices is a full-service family law firm focused on high-conflict divorce and custody cases involving Borderline Personality Disorder. Mr. Young also serves as a national and international consultant and expert witness in BPD litigation.

Respected, Experienced Family Law Attorney

Managing BPD-Driven Custody, Domestic Violence, Divorce & Related Disputes — Throughout California and Worldwide

Since 1993, Clarke Logan Young Law Office has concentrated on custody battles defined and shaped by Borderline Personality Disorder. BPD cases rank among the most complex, intractable, and bitterly contested disputes in all of family law. They are rife with the overarching power, control, manipulation, deceit, and malicious tactics that few attorneys — even seasoned ones — are equipped to confront.

Clarke L. Young and his team protect children from pathogenic parents. The firm’s singular aim is to stop BPD parents from psychologically maiming their children through child neglect and child psychological abuse — including parental alienation and coercive control — while shielding the spouse from a Borderline who can seem obsessed with destroying anyone who defies their will. When your life and your children’s lives hang in the balance, an experienced interfector lamiarum may be all that stands between you and doom.

Because individuals with BPD are often psychologically incapable of settling, BPD litigation proves notoriously protracted and expensive. The firm therefore represents only high-net-worth and very-high-net-worth clients. For others, the firm offers a range of more financially accessible alternatives.

Mr. Young earned his “golden spurs” the hard way — prevailing in a custody battle against the mother of his own children. In the ensuing 30-plus years, he has shielded hundreds of normal-range parent who were navigating Borderline custody cases.

If a Borderline stands between you and your children — or threatens your interests in any family law or civil dispute — call (424) 688-6006 or connect with us online. Every engagement begins with a complimentary consultation answering two questions: Can we help you, and are we the right fit? Once we resolve both, we move immediately to establish the relationship. We litigate throughout the greater Los Angeles area and advise clients nationally and internationally.

How Our Firm Can Support You 

Although BPD-driven custody proceedings remain our focus, Clarke Logan Young Law Offices handles the full spectrum of California family law: divorce and dissolution, paternity, custody and visitation, child and spousal support, domestic violence restraining orders, property division, asset protection, real-property matters, and more. 

Because litigating BPD cases demand extraordinary resources, only high-net-worth individuals can sustain full representation. To serve those of more limited means, the firm provides consultations, second opinions, and expert-witness engagements. For high-net-worth and very-high-net-worth clients, we deliver the personalized, hands-on representation — in and out of the courtroom — that is the sine qua non of prevailing in complex BPD disputes and their attendant family dynamics.

Mr. Young consults nationwide and abroad with litigants, attorneys, mental-health professionals, and others who confront BPD-entangled legal problems and need a decisive strategic edge.

    Understanding BPD Can Change Everything

    Most attorneys will treat a BPD-impacted divorce or custody battle like any other high-conflict case. Doing so is a mistake. The behaviors associated with BPD, from false accusations to parental alienation, erratic decision-making, and financial misconduct, require fundamentally different legal strategies. 

    That’s exactly what we deliver at Clarke Logan Young Law Office. BPD is more than a diagnosis to take note of. It’s something that we factor into how we negotiate, gather evidence, support our clients, and prepare for litigation.

    If you’re wondering whether BPD may be playing a role in your case, we understand how you might feel. You could be angry, confused, ignored, and alone. You might be emotionally bankrupt, but the only thing keeping you going is a love for and commitment to your children. 

    In this difficult time, empowering yourself with knowledge is vital. Learn more about BPD and how to identify it on our pages devoted to defining BPD and recognizing common signs that a spouse or co-parent may suffer from the disorder. You can also contact us to get further insights and personalized guidance.
