Board-Certified Help For Child Custody Arrangements
When determinations regarding child custody and visitation (which the courts now refer to as time-sharing), are being decided, every parent has strong feelings. These crucial decisions will affect your relationship with your child for years to come. It is presumed that parents will equally share their children’s time. That can be very hard for a primary parent and the children to adjust to. The facilitator in a collaborative setting can help you and your spouse to overcome concerns and train the less involved parent.
So, making sure your voice is heard clearly and persuasively is the best way to ensure that you have the arrangements you need with your children. Follow this link to the statutory criteria the court will consider when determining time-sharing. Knowing what is legally considered to be significant will help the collaborative team craft a plan that is best suited to your family and if the process devolves help you convince a court that your concerns need to be addressed.
Creative Child Custody Solutions
One of the keys to effectively resolving time sharing issues is the ability to think outside the box. Every family has unique issues, schedules, strengths and weaknesses that should be explored to craft a parenting plan that accounts for those issues and is not simply a cookie cutter, week on week off division of time between the parents.
Another important element of the representation I provide to my clients is helping them understand how to minimize the impact their divorce or child custody issue is having on their child. Too often the children bear an unfair share of the stress and anxiety of these types of matters. I can help you avoid that toll on your child.
