Getting The Custody You Deserve

When you begin negotiating or fighting for a fair custody agreement, there are two types of custody you are working for: legal custody and physical custody. Legal custody grants the people who have it the authority to make major decisions on a child’s behalf, such as medical or decisions related to education. Physical custody determines who is responsible for the daily care of a child.

While the courts often grant custody based on the child’s best interests, our job is to present the facts and details of your unique situation to convince a judge that you are in the best interest of your family. We look to establish information like:

• Any readjustments a child may need to make with a new custody arrangement
• The child’s preferences
• The ability to provide that each parent has
• Any medical situations that may be relevant to parenting abilities
• The living arrangement of each parent

We take the time to sit with our clients and understand their unique needs before we create a strategy that we custom tailor to fit them. Each client comes to us with unique needs, and we ensure we are representing them.
