Custody And Child Visitation: Creating A Plan That Works
It is always our goal to help parents reach an agreement without needing to litigate matters. However, that’s not always possible. Not all custody settlements can be reached simply through negotiations. It may be necessary to work with an aggressive lawyer to help you reach a settlement that works best for your children. Our attorneys have the skills and experience to effectively represent your interests in the courtroom, if necessary. We care about your family’s future and the well-being of your children.
Changes In Custody Arrangements
Even after your children’s custody has been determined, changes may occur which necessitate a modification in the existing custody arrangement. As a result of these changes, it may be necessary to file for a modification of custody with the court. Generally, the courts review custody if there has been a “material change in circumstances.” Our attorneys can advise you as to whether the court is likely to consider whether there is a “material” change in the circumstances of your case and what the possible outcomes are if you decide to file for a modification of custody. Finally, they will strongly advocate for the best possible outcome for you and your children.
We believe the protection, happiness and well-being of your children should always be the most important goals in any child custody and visitation matter. Having a stable and happy environment for you and your children is what the court and our law office will be working toward.
In addition to handling custody modifications, we also handle related issues such as parental relocation, military child custody, adoption and more.
