Honest and Compassionate Child Custody Attorneys
Our law firm has practiced in family law for more than 20 years. The child custody attorneys at our firm have gained a reputation for their skilled, empathetic, and straightforward representation. We assist families with a variety of family law matters, such as:
- Child custody: Joint legal custody grants parents the right to make legal decisions about their children's medical needs, including issues about their dental or health insurance. Joint physical custody involves the actual residence of the children. Commonly, both parents are being
awarded with joint physical and legal custody. We are experienced in negotiating and drafting joint custody agreements. - Parenting time: It is important for children to maintain a relationship with each parent unless special circumstances exist. We will protect your rights to ensure that visitation/parenting time schedules are appropriate and feasible for your schedule.
- Child support: Although generally determined based on specific formula child support guidelines, there are contributing factors, such as sports equipment,
day care costs, school lunches, medical care, and other income factors, which may alter support payments. We can help ensure that the child support awarded reflects your individual circumstances. - Relocation: Relocation can impact the relationship a child has with a noncustodial parent. Therefore, unless voluntarily agreed upon, it is necessary to gain court approval for a parent to move out of state. We have successfully represented clients in pursuing and challenging relocation motions.
- Modifications: Family circumstances are never static. Therefore, we assist families in renegotiating and modifying existing orders and agreements, such as child custody, child support, and parenting time agreements.
