For better or worse, divorcing parents often have unrealistic expectations regarding child custody and support. For example, many people think mothers automatically get custody, but gender is no longer a factor for the court to consider. Courts today look at which parent has provided most of the nurturing and care giving functions when determining issues of conservatorships.
Another child custody misconception concerns families where both parents have been equally involved as caregivers. Only one person can win custody. The court may designate both parents as joint managing conservators, and both parents may share legal custody. But only one parent will be given primary custody of the child, and that parent is awarded child support.
Unfortunately, divorcing couples are often too angry, too selfish or too frightened to resolve their child custody issues peacefully on their own.
At our first meeting, we conduct a thorough interview in order to understand the client's child custody questions and concerns. We discuss the options available to the client and help him or her to establish priorities and strategies to achieve goals. If there are hostilities, we try to diffuse them. We are always honest and straightforward.
If we are unable to achieve the best possible results for our clients through negotiation, we fight for them in court.
Modifications and Relocation
We work with parents to modify child custody and child support orders when required because of changing needs and circumstances. We also handle visitation and relocation, including relocation applications and disputes.
