Protecting Clients' Parenting Time
Child custody is one of the most complex areas of family law. The court system tends to favor joint legal custody. This gives both parents the opportunity to make important decisions about their children's education, religion and medical treatment, etc.
Determining children's physical custody can be less straightforward. Children often thrive from relationships with both of their parents. At the same time, each situation is unique and time-sharing arrangements need to factor in what are the best interests of the children.
I draw upon my experience in counseling, negotiation, and advocacy to develop creative solutions for your family's future. For example, parents may choose to rotate each week living in an apartment and at the family home, so their children are affected as little as possible. Other families might need parenting plans to go with parents' shifting schedules. Whatever the circumstances, I work tirelessly for my clients and the best possible outcome.
Child Custody Modifications
I have a strong background enforcing and modifying child custody agreements. A variety of factors could lead to substantial child custody changes, such as:
- Job relocation
- Anger management and domestic violence allegations
- Alcohol & drug abuse
I am prepared to advocate for child custody agreements to be modified when appropriate; for example, when clients successfully complete substance abuse or anger management programs or job opportunities compel a restructuring of the custody arrangements.
