Help from a Compassionate Attorney Protecting Fathers and Mothers Rights
The courts consider the child’s best interests in determining custody, including their physical, mental and moral welfare. The court has the option of granting custody to one parent or both in joint custody. The courts have no legal preference for custody, nor do they give one parent preference based on gender. If one or both of the parents files for joint custody, a plan must be presented to the court. The plan must include details regarding the following:
-
Physical living arrangement
-
Child support
-
Medical and dental care
-
Transportation
-
Schooling
-
Visitation rights
The court takes the plan into consideration and issues a final plan with appropriate changes deemed necessary for the best interests of the child. The court also has the option of rejecting a request for joint custody, particularly in the event where domestic violence or abuse has been perpetrated by one of the parties.
Above all else, the child visitation attorneys listen to your concerns to determine what’s most important. Our child support lawyers develop a plan that will provide for the best interests of the children while minimizing conflict and protecting them from the emotional and legal concerns that accompany the actual child custody hearing. While our attorneys are skilled negotiators and mediators who will do their best to come to an agreement for child custody outside of court, we will not hesitate to be as aggressive as you need us to be in order to protect your rights and do what is in the best interests of your children.
