DETERMINING CHILD CUSTODY AND PARENTING TIME

Determining Child Custody and Parenting Time

Custody involves the residence of the child (physical custody) and decisions made on his or her behalf (legal custody). Joint legal custody is the most common arrangement, requiring parents to come to an agreement in matters such as education, health, and religion. However, when one parent is absent or does not wish to have this level of involvement, sole legal custody can be awarded to the other parent.

PHYSICAL CUSTODY AND SHARED CUSTODY

Physical Custody and Shared Custody

Physical custody, or where the child lives, is usually awarded to one parent, with visitation rights for the other parent. However, it is possible for both parents to have physical custody, with the children moving between houses. This arrangement requires parents to be in frequent communication, making it difficult for ex-spouses who cannot speak with one another civilly. We advise clients on custody arrangements in their best interests and those of their children.

COMPLEX AND CONTESTED DIVORCE LAWYER JEFFREY M. BLOOM

Protecting Children in Child Custody Cases

It is generally accepted that each parent should be involved in the child’s life as much as possible. However, when abuse and neglect have been documented, it is important that custody orders provide safeguards for the children. Our law firm has been involved in cases of child neglect, in which children were removed from the custodial parent’s home permanently or temporarily.

FAMILY LAW

Changes In Child Custody Arrangements

After a divorce has been finalized and a child custody plan has been put into place, parties are expected to abide by the terms laid out in the agreement. However, as time passes, circumstances change, and it may become difficult to meet those obligations. When that occurs, it may be appropriate to seek a child custody modification.
