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, medical treatment, religion, 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 consider the impact on children, of the arrangements.

We draw upon our law firm's deep legal roots 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.

Child Custody Modifications

We 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
• Alcohol & drug abuse
• Domestic violence allegations

We are prepared to advocate for child custody agreements to be modified when appropriate; e.g. when clients successfully complete substance abuse or anger management programs or job opportunities compel a restructuring of the custody arrangements.
