Child Custody and Visitation
After parents divorce or separate, one will generally get physical custody of the child, while the other will get visitation rights. The child will live with the parent who has physical custody and a visitation schedule will be established to determine how much time and when the child will be with the noncustodial parent. In most cases, both parents share legal custody, which gives them the right to make decisions about the child's education, health care and general welfare.
A visitation schedule can detail everything from who picks up the child after school on Wednesday to where the child spends winter break. Our lawyers will work with you personally to seek the best possible child custody arrangement for you and your child.
Child Custody Disputes
While the guiding principle in a child custody case is protecting the best interests of the child, all parties do not always agree on the best way to achieve that goal. In handling child custody disputes, we strive to help our clients reach amicable resolutions, to protect the child from the stress of a family dispute. While these cases are generally best resolved out of court, we are always prepared for litigation if necessary.
