Child Custody

Protecting What Matters Most — Your Children

Few legal issues are as emotional and important as those involving your children. Whether you are going through a divorce, separation, or need to modify an existing court order, our experienced child custody attorneys are here to guide you through the process with compassion, skill, and a steadfast commitment to protecting your parental rights and your child’s best interests.


Understanding Child Custody

Child custody determines how parents share the rights and responsibilities of raising their children after a divorce or separation. Courts focus on one primary goal: the best interests of the child.


Custody arrangements generally fall into two categories:

  • Legal Custody – The right to make major decisions about the child’s education, healthcare, and welfare.
  • Physical Custody – Determines where the child lives and how much time each parent spends with them.


Types of Custody Arrangements

Every family is unique, and custody agreements can vary depending on circumstances. Common arrangements include:

  • Joint Custody – Both parents share decision-making and/or physical custody.
  • Sole Custody – One parent has primary custody, and the other may have visitation rights.
  • Shared Parenting Plans – Parents work cooperatively to balance time and responsibilities.
  • Visitation & Parenting Time – Establishes a schedule for non-custodial parents to maintain meaningful contact.


Factors Considered in Custody Decisions

When determining custody, courts consider several factors, such as:

  • The child’s age and needs
  • Each parent’s ability to provide a stable home
  • Emotional bonds between parent and child
  • The parents’ physical and mental health
  • History of domestic violence or substance abuse
  • The child’s preferences (in some cases, depending on age)

Our attorneys help present your case clearly and effectively so the court understands your role and dedication as a parent.
