Vital Issues To All Parents

As your legal representation in your divorce, you can count on us to help you prepare for anything that may come your way, especially child custody negotiations. It can be easy for emotions to get involved during such sensitive matters, which is why we advocate for you to keep our sights focused on your needs.

As we help you prepare for your child custody settlement negotiations, hearing or trial, we will guide you and inform you of key principles of child custody determination, including the following:

  • The initial question to answer in determining which parent will receive primary child custody is, who is the primary caregiver? From there, the question becomes why or why not that person should continue to be the primary caregiver.
  • Child custody and visitation matters are best determined from a child’s perspective, not from parents’ perspectives.
  • Income is not the primary factor considered in determining who is the primary caregiver.
  • During the process of a divorce or separation, everything a parent does is considered carefully. It is imperative that a father or mother not take rash or regrettable actions as they may be used as arguments against custody of children. Things said in anger may be used against a parent in court.

We can help you and your family explore the many parenting plan options available, and come to the best agreement possible for your situation. We understand that the outcome of custody negotiations can shape how your children grow up, and we want to help you secure the best possible outcome for everyone involved.
