Understanding Child Custody And Overcoming Challenges

Child custody is the legal and physical care of a child by a parent or guardian. Child custody disputes can involve complex legal issues, and we often encounter challenges such as:

  • Modifying custody agreements
  • Enforcing parenting time orders
  • Resolving disputes over primary custody

Child custody is determined based on the best interests of the child, considering factors such as their age, health and relationships with each parent. Regardless of the specific circumstances, our attorneys prioritize the best interests of the child in every custody case.

Guidance For Child Support And Post-Judgment Modifications

Child support calculations are based on the income of both parents and the needs of their child. When parents share custody, the child support calculation can be more complex. Our child support attorneys can help you understand the calculations in shared custody situations and work to protect your rights and your child’s best interests. Disputes over a child support order are also common, which can lead to its modification. There are several reasons for a parent to be eligible for a child support modification, such as:

  • Job loss
  • Change in the paying parent’s income, employment status or financial situation
  • Modification in custody or parenting time arrangements

In addition, modifying a child support order can also be due to a substantial change in the child’s situation. This could be an increase in the needs or expenses of the child.
