Why You Need Child Custody Lawyers

Divorce is never easy, but when children are involved, the process becomes much more complex and can become more volatile. Parents certainly know what’s best for their children in most cases, but when it comes to sharing time with the other parent, things can become more difficult. Child custody lawyers at the Law Offices of Barry I. Finkel can help guide parents through the process and ensure a fair outcome, especially for the children involved.

Understanding the Terms

One of the most difficult aspects of dealing with child custody is understanding what all the types of custody mean and how it should be divided. You’ll hear terms like “legal custody,” “physical custody” and “joint custody,” among others. If you’re unfamiliar with what they all represent, you could miss out. Our child custody lawyers can explain each of these terms and help you decide how to best handle them in your case.

Get a Fair Settlement

Most parents dislike the fact they won’t be able to spend all of their free time with their children, but this is one of the facts of divorce. Unless one parent poses a serious risk to the children, their time must be divided. This isn’t designed to be fair to the adults. Instead, it’s focused on making sure the children have equal access to both parents and can live as normal of a life as possible. Our child custody lawyers can help you set your own personal feelings aside and create a plan that is fair to the children and provides both you and the other parent with an equal chance of being part of the children’s lives.

Reduce Arguments

There are few divorce and custody cases that don’t involve at least a few arguments along the way. These arguments often involve aspects of child custody. When you work with experienced child custody lawyers, they will be able to help you avoid many of the common disagreements, as well as help you navigate those that still occur.

If you’re facing a court case that involves child custody, whether it’s a divorce or you and the other parent were never married, contact us. Our child custody lawyers can help you create a plan that keeps the best interests of your child at heart.
