Different Types of Child Custody Arrangements
The first question we will ask you is about the type of child custody and visitation arrangements you would like to have. You have a variety of options.
First of all, there are two types of child custody: legal custody and physical custody. Legal pertains to decisions, while physical pertains to where the child lives. Those types of custody can either be joint, which means split between the two parents, or sole, also known as primary custody.
The courts are likely to provide an outcome that is similar to the current situation. For example, if you are currently the primary caregiver and decision-maker for the child, you will probably retain that status. If the current situation is not what you want, then we will offer you guidance on how to make changes to encourage the outcome you require.
Dealing With the Games the Opposition May Play
Child custody disputes often become very heated battles. The opposing spouse may have motives that are not in the child's best interest. For example, the opposition may want to keep custody to get child support payments or simply to hurt you.
We know how to deal with the games that the opposition may play during these disputes. We know how to see that you and your child get the right outcome, regardless.
