CUSTODY IN DIVORCE

Custody proceedings are required in every divorce whenever minor children are involved. Dozens of co-parenting and statutory details must be discussed and resolved between the parents, or by the court. At Felt Family Law, we look ten or fifteen years into the future to help parents anticipate and resolve potential issues, before they become problems.

We works hard to avoid unnecessary costs and drama throughout the custody process – looking for realistic and reasonable settlement options that keep the children’s needs and best interests in mind.

Our aim is to help you anticipate and resolve co-parenting issues and avoid unnecessary costs and emotional toll of taking custody and co-parenting to trial.

PARENTAGE ACTIONS

Even if you and your partner are not married, you are entitled to the same parental rights as married or divorcing parents. Before a court order is issued, both parents have full, complete legal rights to the child. Most often, requesting a Custody Decree from the Court is very important to safeguard and assert your parental rights.

If your child’s other parent is denying or interfering with your parent-time, or if they refuse to pay their financial share to help support the child, give us a call. We will help determine your rights as a parent and, if needed, help assert your rights in court.
