When a divorce is inevitable, we are forced to make decisions about the future of our children.

We are skilled at helping parents deal with the many sensitive matters related to custody, visitation and support. For example, you may be moving to another county or state and may need to consider a child custody modification due to this relocation. You may have been laid off or the needs of your child may have changed, meaning you may need to complete a child support modification. You may be having trouble getting your ex-spouse to pay support and may need a lawyer to help you explore your options in regard to child support enforcement. We can address your concerns and can explain such important issues as joint custody, legal custody and physical custody and how these are determined based upon the best interest of the child.

Parenting Plans
A relatively new concept in the field of family law, a parenting plan is essentially a document that states when a child or children will spend time with each parent (parenting time) and how decisions will be made pertaining to the child's well-being (legal custody). Parents will need to present a proposed parenting plan to the court before an award will be made granting joint custody. This plan should be as detailed as possible and should be made to work with your family's particular situation. If parents are unable to reach their own agreement in creating a parenting plan, the court will rule upon the issue or issues at hand based upon the child's best interests.
