Sole Custody or Joint Custody?
Are you eligible for sole custody or joint custody? The truth is, most custody cases will result in the parents having joint custody. Usually, under this arrangement, one parent will have primary custody while the other parent will have visitation rights, which allows them to have a specific amount of time with the children. Alternatively, the parents may desire joint shared custody.
In most cases, both parents will have joint legal custody. This allows both parents to be involved in major decisions about education, health care, religion and other major decisions.
Child Custody Modification
As with anything in life, the needs of children and parents change. If your life has undergone changes that require changes to your child custody agreement, you can trust us to skillfully pursue modifications to the prior child custody order that will meet the current needs of you and your children.
Just because you're deployed doesn't mean you won't get your kids. A temporary deployment shouldn't rob you of your custody rights. We will work hard to make sure you get a fair custody agreement so that you can be fully involved in your child's life.
The Best Interest of the Child
The best interests of the minor children is the central question that is involved in a child custody case.
