Custody

Our law firm carefully handles vital children’s issues such as custody. We understand that agreed-upon arrangements for their care and support will impact their well-being for years to come. Our legal team routinely assists families in negotiating, enforcing and modifying child custody arrangements. Custody obligations must be reasonable and not violate our clients’ rights.

Our chief priority in child custody is to create a parenting plan that incorporates frequent and continuing contact with children and avoids conflicts that can cause children undue harm.

In joint custody, both parents have the legal authority to make decisions on the child’s behalf.  These decisions include schooling, religion and medical treatment. Sole custody provides one parent exclusive authority for making such decisions. Often, one parent is selected as the primary residential parent, while the other parent usually pays child support. These arrangements, however, can include a number of options that might fit a family’s needs.

Our law firm can negotiate a child custody arrangement that best suits you and your children.
